The Friday Show - George Formby

December 1960, that George made his last, and unforgettable, television broadcast, in 'The Friday Show', on BBC 1, when - sitting back in an easy chair, and coughing, ominously, between taking several frequent sips of water, while he assured viewers, he was alright - he told his life-story, 'warts 'n' all', interspersing the 35-minute 'confession'-show with some of his greatest ukulele hits. However, in a rather uncharacteristic parting message, George - before the final credits began to roll - turned, full face-on, to camera, and appealed: "And folks, if you'd like to have me back again, I've got a lot more stories to tell, and a couple of hundred more songs to sing." Sadly George passed away shortly after and his last words to the public were: "Good night, Good luck and God bless."
