except.....

not the real Roy Walker.

As a teenager Walker performed in the Francis Longford Choir, then worked as a riveter in the shipyard. He was the Northern Ireland champion hammer thrower for two years, and represented his country internationally. He spent a short time as a comedy partner of James Young before spending seven years in the British army. [1]

He came to fame in 1977 by winning the talent show New Faces, receiving the highest mark ever given to a comedian. [2] He was also one of The Comedians seen on the 1970s show of the same name.

My Granny had us all in stitches without realising what she'd said.

She was talking about the foulness of swearing:

"B*gger, F*ck & Sh*t", she said, "They're all below the belt."

Oh, how we fell about laughing!

And, at the age of 29 (me) and 91 (her), that was the one and only time I ever heard her say any of those words!

There's a technique used to warm up an audience where the use of intentional bloopers get the audience going. It's used all the time.

Other outakes are done for the "christmas tapes"
