  • Rare Episode 8 performance from Series 8 of The Generation Game hosted by Larry 'Shut that door' Grayson (born William White) & assisted by his co-star Isla St Clair (born Isabella Margaret Dyce)
    Here Legs (minus Sue & Lulu) but with Floid (and his new chums Spencer, Terry & Trevor) demonstrate the fickle art of crap disco dancing (here doing a mutated version of The Hustle/Bus Stop - that was taught to the aged by slimy haired Travolta wannabes up and down the country) to Night Fever by The Bee Gees, watched by a bemused audience and a flustered camp king Larry Grayson (champion of Everhard and Apricot Lil) and the quite pleasant looking Isla St Clair (the older mans crumpet), on hand to judge 'Grayson's Groovers' is Flick Colby.
    It'll end in tears you know, all together now 'Isla, the scores on the doors'
    This first appeared on the channel in a truncated form and shocking quality, but here we present the full clip bookended with the titles and the conveyor belt of fire damaged goodies.

    Whenever I see Larry I smile and feel comforted, a truly nice man who clearly adored his friends. He and Isla were wonderful together and the whole GG show on Saturdays represented a high spot of the week. Thanks Larry, RIP

    Time is cruel but we need to be taught it in watching these times long past with People long gone to appreciate everything /one that's around us now. Dont waste a moment being sad,miserable or found wanting.. Appreciate everything now before it too is gone forever.

    Both couples were great.. Couldn't choose, loved Joan in the classic 70s dress and Steven in black.. But both were fun to watch.. I loved the show as a kid and its still good now.. Time is cruel and we need to be taught by these things to appreciate what's around us now.

    Many thanks for posting this lovely footage.
    This was BBC Light Entertainment at it's very best.
    Pairing Larry Grayson with Isla St Clair was a stroke of pure genius!
    Alan Boyd (supported by Bill Cotton Jnr.) deserves full credit.
    It was always a pleasure to work with 'Legs & Co'! The 'Legs' girls are Gill, Rosie (front) Pauline & Patti (rear). Lulu & Sue are missing.
    The 'out of vision' (conveyor belt) voice is that of Tony Hawes who was married to Stan Laurel's Daughter, Lois. Sadly, Tony passed away quite a few years ago. Larry, Ronnie Hazlehurst and indeed Flick Colby have also sadly departed.
    It is very sad that people who understood Television inside out are no longer with us. I note that the late Robin Nash appears in the credits of this show.

    Classic. Hilarious. Larry is, and was, such an under-rated comedian. His Generation Game series with the beautiful Isla were the best. They were a team, she wasn't just there for decoration, unlike Bruce and Anthea. I wish they'd release them all on DVD but I doubt they ever will. I have some on a few old video tapes and they're like medicine, take me back to happy days of fun TV, simple game shows.

      +Sandra Keeley PLEASE put them on you tube. I agree with everything you state here, absolutely brilliant. Everyone loved Larry.

      @sandrakeeley8960 Před 8 lety +2

      Larry was so unique, Mike. I can't get this video up anymore, sadly. But, I have some of the Generation Game shows on DVD now, including this show with Grayson's Groovers, copied by people. They really need to be released on DVD officially. He is so under-rated, like his time with the Generation Game. Love to watch Larry and Isla. Perfect team.

    • @mikehudson8884

      Watch the interview Larry does with Diana Dors think it is 1974, you can see the real affection they had for each other.

    • @sandrakeeley8960
      @sandrakeeley8960 Před 8 lety +1

      +Mike Hudson I'll definitely have to watch that. Thanks for recommending it.

    Would've loved to have gone on a long unsupervised tour of the Isla St. Clair, bet there was many nooks and crannies worth investigating
