250 The Freddie Starr Show


First  watched : Spring  1976

This  seems  fairly  topical  as  Freddie's  been  in  the  news  a  lot  lately  but I  actually  recall  very  little  specifically  about  the  show. Freddie  showed  the  range  of  his  talents  with  singing, impersonations, stand-up, physical  comedy  and  sight  gags and  I  thought  it  was  funny  at  the  time  but , regardless  of  anyone's  allegations, probably  wouldn't  seem  so  now. Freddie  was  pretty  washed-up  and  reliant  on  reality  TV  before  the  Savile  scandal  broke  but  his  time  has  well  and  truly  gone  now.
