Does Anyone Remember Mr Pastry ?

[mikey4444]

I was a big fan of Mr Pastry, when I was a boy in the 50's.....here is a youtube of him ( I hope ! )

[mikey4444]

Bloody hell...it worked !

[Mamyalynne]

Shudder.

Here is another, this time in colour !

First saw him at the cinema in 1954. We had gone to see Snow White and one of his short films was the 'B' movie.

Me to, mikey never missed a program , watched it on our 9 inch screen TV!

oh how we laughed when he danced the lancers :-)

[Tilly2]

I loved Mr Pastry! He was so funny.

[zebo]

I liked him but Dad thought he was stupid, along with Charlie Drake, so we rarely saw him, the days of one TV.

[Tilly2]

.....from the same era who was the character depicted by a man dressed as a scatty, accident prone old lady?

[Captain2]

Sorry, but I could never see anything funny about the man or his act.

[Jackdaw33]

Mother O'Reilly?

[Jackdaw33]

^^played by Arthur Lucan.

[bhg481]

Old Mother Riley - nearly right Jackdaw.

[Jackdaw33]

Kitty McShane, who used to play 'her' daughter, was in fact his wife.

I remember him well. I think he was quite an academic in real life!

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Old Mother Riley it was.

[carolegif]

Just looked him up, he was from a theatrical family, not an academic! Think I am mixing him up with Stanley Unwin!

[Togo]

Remember Cardew The Cad?

[Tilly2]

No, Togo. I don't. Who was he?

[melv16]

I'll throw Jimmy Clitheroe into the mix.
