    David Suchet on Sid Field, 26th October BBC4 9pm

    The Last of the Music Hall Heroes.

    I've only watched half so far [on iplayer] but it brings back memories of a very funny com
    edian who went out of fashion, rather as Danny Kaye did.

    He died when I was a teenager, but I remember his 'Piccadilly Hayride', which I saw in a London theatre, and his rather bad film with Petula Clark, redeemed for me by his singing 'You can't keep a good dreamer down'. I had a record of the latter song and played it to bits.

    Wonder if it's on Youtube or somewhere? Does anyone else remember him?

    I'll try to catch this later, salymap. Here's a bit of a sketch he did with Jerry Desmond, taken from a rather good series that the much-missed (by me at any rate) Bob Monkhouse did:



    He makes me smile rather than hoot but you can see he's a class act. Thanks for your memories

      I saw David Suchet in the play based on Sid Field, 'What A Performance!'.

      One of the most entertaining evenings I've spent in a theatre.
