- An Extract from his most successful Series, The worker. This is part of an episode called A change is as good as a rest. This series was broadcast from 1965 to 1970. As unemployed Labourer he turns up at the Local labour Exchange(job Centre)to seek that perfect job, classic slapstick and comic situations he managed to find himself in,usually because of his disasterous attempt to do the job. The highlight of the show was for me and many others, his exchanges with Mr Pugh (Henry McGee) at the labour exchange

Well this sketch has proved to be well ahead of its time!
How Henry McGee was able to keep a straight face is beyond me - ! 😁
Henry was renowned as the greatest straight man in the business!
Loved this program . I used to watch it with my dad . R.I.P Charlie Drake . R.I.P Dad.
A comedy genius and part time prophet.
Charlie Drake joined the RAF at the same time as my father, they were friends while they trained as air gunners, but were sent to different training units to finish their training. Every time we saw him on TV when I was a kid, my dad used to tell me, he was my mate,
We saw him in Sinderalla Blackpool. All he did was walk across the stage at the back in a brown coat with a bag while a scene was going on and the whole place was in tears. Jim Davidson never stood a chance and I think he knew it.
Wish they still showed sitcoms like that. They don't like us having fun any more, the busters!
I'm 73. Grew up with Charlie on the telly. He was wonderfully funny.
A brilliant funny man, it's a shame ne's almost forgotten now, thanks for posting this video
The Worker and Charlie Drake....priceless..without a doubt,a comic genius.
Loved Charlie Drake.
Remember his catch phrases; Hello my darlings and Ow my gawd.
Not many people realise that he was a pop singing in the 1950s.
I guess this episode was way ahead of its time.
Sheer comedy brilliance! 5*
Thanks for bringing this fabulous memory back of such a funny little man. A "Proper Charlie"
RIP little guy, you are missed by many.
remember him when i was growing up in the 60's he was great , as soon as i heard Hello My Darling it took me back 50+ years
Loved the Spotto stain remover sketch on the Charlie Drake Show.
Henry McGee, appeared with most of the screen comics, Charlie, Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill, to name a few, how the hell did he ever manage to keep a straight face, Kudos to Frank, one of Britain's totaly unrecognised geniuses
I downloaded Charlie Drakes songs and sing them to my grandkids who are 3 and 4 years old. They LOVE em !!
Well ahead of its time with this topic!
As a kid we had his single 'Hello my Darlings' B side was 'Splish Splash'... Also remember watching The Worker on TV
HELLO MY DARLINS! So so so funny, we remember this from when we were kids. Funny man and a good time for a sense of humour, not like today.
Priceless....Charlie Drake was way before his time....Thanks sheda42.
The Worker was a wonderful series - still very funny today. Thanks charlie.
Grew up in the era of this funny little man.
Thanks for sharing this, it is absolute gold. One of the greats
I'm 57 years old now. I was 9 years old when the song [My boomerang won't come back] came out. And I will always remember it. I loved it. My friends and I went around singing it all the time. I didn't even know Australia existed until that song. I now download and sing it with my grandkids who are 3 dn 4 years old. They think Grandpa (Me) is really funny. Thanks Charlie Drake !
And now your 69
a real under rated genius. so un-pc but fantastic. All my old memories. Thank you.
Nah mate this is pretty spot on
One of the very few actors, along with Oliver Hardy and Rik Mayall who could look straight at the camera for added effect.
Charlie drake was awesome
This is a wonderful clip of charlie, and absolutely hilarious
a comedy king, funny man. Thanks Charlie for the laughs.
wow was this ahead of its time
Many a true word...
he was fun to watch when i was a kid
By far funniest guy. Good singer too
I watched every episode of this with my parents when I was a kid. Now it seems quite surreal.
Thanks, so much
Charlie Drake....comic genius.
There's no comedy like that now. The bastards have killed it all.
Loved the worker x
Brilliant..... !! Watched em all.
Thanks for this Sheda, What a blast from the past. Class.
Gaz xxxxxxx
lovely man/great comedian
cosmetric surgery !!!!
pure brilliance
he was probably the first comedian to " look " at the camera....genius
Try Oliver Hardy
Charlie Drake must be one of Britain's finest clowns!
"From now on I want to be called... Loretta!"
Classic British tele!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brilliant.
Love it
Mick hucknall’s father?
Remember it...... I was a wee one
HenryMgee was the producer, if i remember, he masterminded the honey monster.
Henry McGee was very good as straight man. We love the little weird guys (Stan Laurel, Costello, Charlie Drake, Groucho Marx), but the straight men do half of the comedy.
yes he was RIP xx
Hello my darling….
Besides anything else, this is surely one of the longest continuous sitcom acting displays on record.
To all intents and purposes, it is a live play. And hardly a sign of a fluff in the whole thing.
Imagine the woke pc lot watching this they'd have a stroke 😂😂😂😂 Charlie Drake a genius 💪💪🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes there is a lot of use who love and remember Charlie, but you have to be over a certain age and IQ (50)
I cant work out what he is to me but he is blood related to me he is very funny am very sad I never got to meet him x
lisa popps I'm related to him too 😄
Wilf Burton really? What relation are you to him, we possibly might be related?
lisa popps he was my nan's cousin on his dad's side.
Wilf Burton awesome, he is my grandads cousin
lisa popps that's amazing. I think that makes him our first cousin twice removed.
Never mind ‘ay 😂
my mum and dad detwsted charlie as did ny sister, my wife also hates him, but i just love him, this clip is so funny, and he realy was a comic genius
Funny as f***k
1:46 !?!
Did not give tips , to any one, my brother was in restaurant Charley was there, no tips to any one , said he works hard for his money, and carnt just give it away,
🤣🤣🤣
This was funny at the time, but now I feel nauseated by this topic.
I remember these sketches from my childhood , I thought that they were dreadful then and things have not changed . Cosmetric surgery !! . Awful !
Why watch them again then ? idiot
Hung out with Jimmy Savvell
No he didn't. Stop making shit up.
Yuk
Watched when I was a kid but always found him a bit creepy tbh.
Priceless....Charlie Drake was way before his time....Thanks sheda42.
