A Roach-a-thon on You Tube

Postby DaveGlass » Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:24 pm

Hi chaps
Great to meet up with so many of you at Slapsticon the other week.
Mr Wyatt and I were bowled over!
Thanks again to everyone for everything.

As a sort of a salute to Big Dick's book, I thought I'd start flinging up onto that You Tube thing some rare chunks of Roach.
(Yes, I know. They're from the 'Laff-a-bits' series, but I figured they may be new to some here).
Some are known and others will need identifying.
This'll take you to the first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umk3QNdl0VU
Go to my channel and then hit Subscribe.
I've chucked up a few (!) and I'll try and upload a new one every couple of days or so...
God save the queen

These were fun to watch. I have three VHS tapes of LAUGH-A-BITS (titled LAUGH-A-MINUTE on the box). All the ones I have seen are color tinted, but these are black and white on your You Tube channel.

Thanks for posting them.

Yes Pasquale, as I said these are from Laff-a-bits.
I've made them black and white and added different music for reasons of sanity.

I've just posted two more Roach chunks...
Snub Pollard in what I believe is DON'T ROCK THE BOAT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w942VeFQwRQ
and Paul Parrott in what I believe is WATCH YOUR WIFE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHHjJhCrJB4
Please shout if you know different...
