Actually, did anyone hear this morning's Mark Steel's in Town? He was in Wigan (Formby's birth town) and mentioned how, when he were told by the authorities that he couldn't perform to black audiences. George, bless 'im, therefore did 20 free gigs exclusively for black audiences. When a government heavy came to threaten him for his "perverted activities", Beryl (Mrs Formby) simply told him to "p*ss off, you horrible little man!"
My respect for the annoying ukelele-playing double-entendriste multiplied many dozens-fold!
