I could just eat that right now
Great Laurel & Hardy clip. I'm a big fan, have a couple of signed items. Kept off our TV screens for years due to legal wranglings. But back on now, on Talking Pictures, Freeview 81.

Thanks for that Paul, will keep an eye open for it
Just looked at the listings, and 'The Gentle Touch' is on there....I always liked Jill Gasgoine

And only £1 what a bargain.
Yes, they have been showing The Gentle Touch nightly. JIll Gascoine is in her 80's now, has Alzheimer's unfortunately.
The last couple of Laurel & Hardy films were shown on Monday, more to follow no doubt.
A new film is out soon, Stan & Ollie -
