We mustn't foget to mention the great Cannon & Ball.

I was a big fan of theirs as a kid. Absolutely loved the Cannon & Ball show. My mum even bought me a pair of red braces when I was 10! (I was a kid!!!... still am, at heart!)

First saw them at Blackpool opera house in 1988, was a bit high up though. So I didn't get that great a view, but enjoyed though!

Support on that show was some chap playing with hula-hoops, and mr. Brian Conley before he was famous (whatever happened to him?)

Saw C&B again a couple of years ago at St. Helens theatre. Enjoyed that too and even got to meet Bobby & Tommy afterwards. I was surprised to find Bobby was only just taller than me (and for a short-arse, that makes you feel good!)

I wish they'd put the repeats of their old shows back on. I just missed out when I got Sky, it had just finished being shown on Granada Plus....

Any chance of getting it back? (bobby???)

Bobby sorry I said 'That's when Bobby had hair' when someone saw the VHS cover you were signing for me at St.Helens.

I used to work the workingmens clubs a few years ago. I met bobby and tommy once when they went under the name 'harper brothers'. they couldn't sing their way out of a paper bag. it's no wonder they turned to comedy. they were funny on the telly though. shame we don't see more of them today. that would be beltin'!
