Jimmy James Box Sketch with Roy Castle and Eli Woods 1962

There are several examples of this wonderful sketch already on RUclips but this is an excellent version featuring Jimmy James in person with fine support from Eli Woods and Roy Castle making this 1962 performance well worth viewing!

Used to watch Jimmy and Eli when we were kids .Laughed our socks off🤣🤣🤣 Now 85 and still laughing.... Thanks for posting 🙏
Eli could be seen wandering around town (Stockton-on-Tees) most day's!

Jimmy James comic timing and facial expressions are an absolute delight to watch, over and over again.....

My darling JIMMY JAMES. First saw you at the Brighton Hippodrome when I went with my pals after school to see you. Was absolutely over the moon at your performance and I was only 15. Now I am 78 and still find you so amazingly out of this world. Keep playing all your videos - there is no one like you on this earth. So sad the Hippodrome is now neglected but at least I have your tube!

[@terrypearson7787]

Hello, Jill - I'm so pleased that this video has brought back some happy memories - thank you for viewing!

[@WallaseyanTube]

Thank you. I had not realised that Roy Castle had also performed this sketch with Jimmy James himself.

This is just a masterclass in how to put together a very funny routine.

@@simongee8928 How right you are!

A master class 👏 in pure comedy ,

I was born in 1965 so only remember watching the wonderful Roy Castle on TV show Record Breakers and the entertainment value was off the Richter Scale
I’ve seen many documentaries about Jimmy James and Eli Wood
Again they were the Greats of British Comedy
I know entertainment moves on but we don’t have any now

[@timjones4850]

Brilliant!!

A class routine by three experts. Who says "alternative comedy came in in the 1970s/80s!

This sketch was repeated in 1982 the chap in the middle was replaced by his son, but Roy castle and Eli Woods have hardly aged.

[@terrypearson7787]

That's right - Jimmy James' son was James Casey.

[@terencebarrett2897]

Hey Philip" his son also done a wonderful job" with Eli Wood's and Roy Castle

[@nicknewey6152]

It's old but it's hilarious!

[@alanwitton5980]

Hilarious

[@tomkent4656]

Jimmy James a bit shakey on his lines!

[@rayjennings3637]

That's as may be but somehow it adds to the mix!

[@davidwaddington9414]

Roy Castle was not funny.

[@AlanBoddy-fl2qp]

Never was the my book😊😱

[@joeoconnor5400]

Roy Castle was the idiot straight man

[@grahamshakeshaft2373]

No -he was brilliant! Also an amazing musician.
