  A fabulous discussion in celebration of comedy writers Vince Powell & Eric Merriman; in general, and the essence of the historical context of humour. Fun, Funny & really rather deep at times! With dear chums GEORGE CAMILLER (Mind Your Language), ANDY MERRIMAN (Hattie Jacques biographer), JAMES PERTWEE (David Croft comedies), and ROGER LEY (The Punch and Judy Man). As I was leaving, actress Anita Harris came over to tell me how much she'd enjoyed my talk. A memorable day for me. Thanks to Robert and Gemma Ross.

  As I am one of the last people alive to have worked with the famous British comedian Tony Hancock, his Appreciation Society kindly invited me to their 100th anniversary celebrations. I was a 12 year old child in 1961 when I worked as a stand-in on the set ot 'The Punch and Judy Man', Hancock's second film. I gave a 30 minute talk about my experiences and the audienc of about forty Hancock enthusiasts were very friendly and receptive. I think we all enjoyed ourselves.  Afterwards there was an excellent dinner with about 50 guests and a question and answer session with some outstanding celebrities - and myself. The guests were: Roger Ley, Robert Ross, Adam McLean, John Hewer and Kevin McNally It was a lively session and a memorable evening.
