Blast from the past ...who remembers Sabrina

[steeljack]

ok it was a crap night on television ....some story about a murdered woman called Sabrina ....so it me to wondering what had happened to the original British Sabrina , the one with the big breasts who caused so much titillation to young lads in short pants during the 50s , after a brief search I found out she is still alive and kicking
The Sabrina (Norma Sykes) Site
for the younger users of the site I should mention she was the 50s version of the modern day Jordan , but will probably be remembered longer if Diana Dors was the British Marilyn Monroe ,then Sabrina was the British Jayne Mansfield

anyway the purpose of the thread ......who else do you remember from those days and wonder if they are still around ....entertainers like Yana (a sultry singer who usually played summer seasons on a Blackpool pier) or maybe Ruby Murrey (an Irish collen, who if they had made an Irish version of the Sound of Music would have had the Julie Andrews role )

I have had a good look on that weblink - they were only 38 1/2 inches !!!!!
but they were out of proportion with the rest of her.
At least they weren't silicon like Jordan's

As young lads we used to play Sabrina pontoon. Instead of 21 bust we had 42 bust.

What about the original well endowed lady – Jane Russell? We played Jane Russell pontoon too. 38 bust.

Tommy Handley from I.T.M.A.
Norman Evans from Over The Garden Wall. Les Dawson ‘borrowed’ some of his routine but he was also hilarious in his own right.
Tommy Trinder with his very risqué jokes.
Max Wall with even more risqué jokes.
Jimmy Edwards from Take It From Here with Bill Kerr and June Whitfield.
Tony Hancock from Hancock’s Half Hour with Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Sid James.
Educating Archie with Peter Brough a ventriloquist on the radio? I ask you. But it worked. I never saw his lips move.
Round The Horn.
The Goon Show or as the BBC big wigs first called it the Go On Show.
What about Max Boyce? The mad, Welsh, leek waving, rugby fan.
And don’t forget Dick Barton Special Agent.
For the more gentile audience Mrs Dale’s Diary, probably the very first soap on the wireless. She was always so worried about Jim.

Variety programmes where you got a mixture of entertainers from singers to jugglers to trapeze acts to stand up comics to prestidigitators (conjurers) and the best of which were the ventriloquists. They were funnier than a comic.

Ray Alan and Lord Charles were a scream.

Dennis Spicer appeared to speak with two voices at the same time and he was the only guy that I ever saw who could drink a glass of water and speak at the same time.

I can’t remember the guy’s name but he would get two people from the audience up on stage, usually one large chap and either a small woman or a small guy. Then he would hold a conversation between them using a tiny effeminate voice for the big guy and a deep gruff voice for the other person.

Sadly you don’t get that sort of entertainment these days were good solid belly laughs came free and easy.

Bring back “The Palace Of Varieties” and “The Good Old Days” from Leeds. That was entertainment.
