Larry Grayson’s high-camp exceptionally English sense of humour made him one of the stars of Light Entertainment. Loved by the public he achieved TV fame in the early 1970s when he himself was in his fifties. Basing his act on the same one he had used to great popularity in working men’s clubs and on the revue circuit he would spin tales of his singular friends Everard Slack Alice and Apricot Lil - his razor-sharp observational comedy tinged with a saucy sense of wickedness.
