Joyce Grenfell

[Nick]

Following on from Fireball XL5 and Four Feather Falls etc. who else recalls JOyce Grenfell's monologues of the "George.................don't do that" type?

[Uncle Mort]

Who can forget them 

Children... we're going to do our nice 'Moving to Music' this morning, so let's make a lovely fairy ring, shall we? And then we'll all be flowers growing in the grass.
Let's make a big circle - spread out - wider - wider - just finger-tips touching - that's it.
Sue, let go of Neville - Because flowers don't hold hands, they just touch finger-tips. SUE. Let go of Neville.
And Sue, we don't want GRUMBLERS in our fairy ring, do we? We only want smilers.
Yes David, you're a smiler - so is Lavinia - and Peggy and Geoffrey. Yes, you're all smilers.
QUIET, PLEASE.
Don't get so excited.
And Sue is going to be a smiler too, aren't you Sue? That's better.
George... don't do that!

Spot on. Where did you find that stuff? Wenchy has never heard of it, and I have some compelling reasons to get more of it (Grenfell that is!)

Scoll down for "First Ladies of Comedy" for Joyce, although there's a wealth of interesting material for others.

Didn't Maureen Lipman do a one woman show based on Joyce?
