where Dick Emery is dressed as the blonde young lady and is stopped by a street interviewer.

It is something about boyfriend, butcher, and big birds.

It is killing me that I can't remember it.

isnt that the 'ooo you are awful, but i like you' catch phrase sketch, or did all his sketches end with that line (and a wig and a dress)?

That character appeared in every episode of the 'Dick Emery Show.' The punch line (literally) was indeed, "You are awful, but I like you!" That is one of my all time favourite tv characters.

Actually, thinking about it, it wasn't the buxom blonde character. It was indeed another one. Damn! That's really going to bug me now. That was an older character, I'm sure.

Was it this one?

Just bought a Dick Emery video off ebay so should know in a few days.

The sketch goes something like this:

Interviewer: "Excuse me, miss"
Blone Girl: "Yes"

<idle chit-chat>

Blone Girl: "I'm off to meet my boyfriend, he's a butcher"
Interviewer: "I imagine he likes to give his birds a good stuffing"

or something like that.

The look on Dick Emery's face is absolutely priceless. I think at this point he then pushes the interviewser over and uses the final gag of "You are awful, but I do like you"

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

And don't forget his double act with Roy Kinnear as the father and son carpenters.
"dad, I think I done it again"

useless trivia time.

dick emery did several comercials for the launch of the mk3 cortina,they included one with 'bovva boy' who,after answering a question on acceleration by saying "the old bill have a right problem,i loose em in no-time" promptly nicked the car that the presenter of the commercial had left running......in another commercial whilst dressed as the vicar he went on to explain how the arch-deacon had got most of the chior boys on the back seat.
