Seagoon: I hadn't realised it was so foggy, but indeed it was so thick that I had to walk in front of myself with a blazing torch. Eccles: You're not the only one!

  • HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 She Went on to Become a Nationally Recognised Figure in the British Cinema of the 1950S and 60S
    Hattie Jacaues Born 127 High St 1922 Chapter Twelve HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 she went on to become a nationally recognised figure in the British cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Her father, Robin Jacques was in the army and stationed at Shorncliffe Camp at the time of her birth. The Register of Electors shows the Jacques family residing at a house called Channel View in Sunnyside Road. (The register shows the name spelled as JAQUES, without the C. Whether Hattie changed the spelling or whether it was an error on the part of those who printed the register I don’t know) Hattie, as she was known, made her entrance into the world in the pleasant seaside village of Sandgate, mid way between Folkestone to the east and Hythe to the west. Initially Hattie trained as a hairdresser but as with many people of her generation the war caused her life to take a different course. Mandatory work saw Hattie first undertaking nursing duties and then working in North London as a welder Even in her twenties she was of a generous size and maybe as defence she honed her sense of humour after finding she had a talent for making people laugh. She first became involved in show business through her brother who had a job as the lift operator at the premises of the Little Theatre located then on the top floor of 43 Kings Street in Covent Garden. At end of the war the Little Theatre found itself in new premises under the railway arches below Charing Cross Station.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

Spike Milligan Crossword Enigmatist Pickles 1. April Competition I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL The April competition with Spike Milligan themed grid by Pickles and clued by Enigmatist, was won by Jos Tait of Preston Australia. Excellent solving! SPIKE MILLIGAN Feedback included: Enigmatist is one of my favourite setters and many of the reasons for that can be found in this puzzle: clever and challenging exploitation of an interesting theme; complex, cryptic and misleading clues – for example, it took me a long time to unravel the clue to IRONIC, but it is, as indeed are all his clues, ultimately both intricate and fair. A most enjoyable solve this month. Kmc One solver is speaking to another :- “Would you like to do this puzzle set by Enigmatist or climb the North face of the Eiger?” “Wait right there – I'll get the crampons!” GS Much fun to be had here, as Andre always has a go first. He was amazed when he came to complain that nothing could really contain Y__G T__G and I immediately burst into song... Quite an education in British culture for him! AR Thanks again for the great, and consistently entertaining, puzzles. JN Lovely to have the brilliant madcap humour of Spike Milligan celebrated and brought back to life again in such a clever puzzle. Again I am in awe of how much Engimatist was able to pack into the grid, and how many references Grid by there are, since I imagine the constraints of 3D must be greater than those Pickles of 2D.

  • The Life and Legacy of Spike Milligan
    COMING SOON TO A TOWN NEAR YOU PRESS KIT 10 August 2005, for immediate release Media release The godfather of alternative comedy is back Comic legend Spike Milligan, voted “the funniest person of the millennium” in a BBC poll and known to fellow comedians as the “godfather of alternative comedy”, always broke conventions and made up his own rules. Following in this tradition, the makers of a new documentary about Spike, have created a bold and unprecedented venture which will tour the east coast of Australia in August and September. Led by a life-size doll of Spike, the tour will bring back memories and shed new light on this extraordinary man. It will include radio broadcasts, a live show featuring Spike’s eldest daughter Laura telling stories and reading some of his letters accompanied by musician Glenn Cardier who toured with Spike in the 80s, and a new documentary film. The documentary film “I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SPIKE MILLIGAN” sold out at its world premiere in Adelaide in February this year and has since played to packed houses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the far North Coast of NSW. The show brings tears of laughter and sadness as it takes audiences on a roller coaster ride through his life, reminding fans of his brilliant and outrageous humour and shedding new light on his tortured and troubled personal life. For the first time, his family have opened up their personal archives to reveal Spike as a father, brother and husband: a man of passion and contradictions who trod the thin line between genius and debilitating depression.

  • The Rude Mechanicals Present Ying Tong – a Walk with the Goons
    The Rude Mechanicals present The Australian première of Ying Tong – A Walk With The Goons By Roy Smiles, Directed by Ian Hart The Street Theatre, Canberra 17 August – 2 September 2006 Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide. —John Dryden The subversive anarchy and surreal humour of The Goon Show burst on post-war Britain and Australia like an exploding batter pudding. The shockwave wrenched English comedy off its secure moorings and set the course for Monty Python, Beyond the Fringe, The Goodies… all the way to Little Britain. Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan became household names. Today, 50 years later, The Goon Show is still being repeated on the ABC. Roy Smiles’ brilliant new play celebrates the genius of The Goons, but also demonstrates the truth of Dryden’s couplet in the high price that Milligan, its creator, paid for his success. Ying Tong opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and then transferred to The West End and has been touring in Britain and South Africa for the past year. The Street Theatre season is its Australian première. The Rude Mechanicals production is directed by Ian Hart and features four talented Canberra actors: Robert de Fries (Spike Milligan), Steven Kennedy (Peter Sellers), Robbie Matthews (Harry Secombe) and John Honey (Wallace Greenslade). The choral performance of The Ying Tong Song is by OOTS Choir, Tuggeranong, directed by Jenny Sawer. Visit the Rude Mechanicals web site http://www.camrin.com/rudemech Preview: 16 August Season: 17-19, 22-26, 29 August-2 September Wednesdays-Saturdays 7:30pm, Tuesdays 6:30pm Matinees 19 Aug, 26 Aug, 2 Sept at 1:30pm Venue: The Street Theatre Studio Tickets: $28 Concessions available.
