    In case anyone is wondering why she shouted at the audience at about 1.24 of the video 'Is everybody happy'?, and when they yell 'yes', she said 'it's because you're having a better time than the King'. That's because at the same time Marie was ding this show back in the day the King was watching a 'Royal command performance' at another Venue, but Marie was turned down to appear on it as it was deemed she was 'to vulgar', so who-ever set this show and scripted it knew what they were talking about.

    My mother, who was born in the East End of London in 1905, had the privilege of seeing Miss Lloyd on stage (so she said). Jessie Wallace's portrayal is just how I always imagined her to be; she was amazing in this role and is waste in Eastenders. Mother would have loved this.

    I think she's brilliant. She really knows how to use the linnet and cage. Lesser performers constantly point at it to try to make the audience laugh at how daft it is,she simply behaves it as if wandering around with a caged linnet is the most normal thing in the world which is much more funny.

    Marie Lloyd, Old Mother Riley, (Arthur Lucan), etc etc, we shall never see their like ever again. I saw Richard Hearne doing his dear Mr.Pastry on a re- run of 'The Good Old Days', he was just wonderful, the audience called for more! asking for an encore. Jessie Wallace was just superb in this, as she was doing Pat Phoenix in 'The road to Coronation Street', she makes you believe she is the part she is playing, she clearly plays it for truth, you forget this is really Jessie Wallace, famous now for Kat Slater in 'EastEnders'.

    this reminds me of the early seasons of the British drama Upstairs Downstairs.

I would guess her character was influenced by some of these real music hall greats ie Florrie Forde, Lily Morris, Marie Lloyd etc.

Tens of thousands, and by the time the Kingswood was superseded in the late 1970s by a microbus, I had the best of Black and White Minstrels imprinted on the deepest of deep cerebral recesses!And yet I still love it. That and Tchaikovsky's best, soundtrack to Bambi, and the best of Bing Cros....yeah, not so much that one.Thanks for sharing!
