    24-year-old comedian Brian Marshall – a popular club and cabaret entertainer throughout the North who appeared as Bunny (one of Diana Dors‘ wayward sons) in Queenie’s Castle (1970 -1972) – was given a series of his own by Yorkshire Television in May and June 1973 following his success with a one-off TV show aired in August 1972 as Our Brian..

    Appearing with the Stockport-born comedian in the six-part series was his real-life fiancée Gemma Craven and his real-life best pal, future Crackerjack star Stu Francis.

    Guests included Labi Siffre, Hurricane Smith, Jimmy Helms, Neil Sedaka, The Settlers and Lynsey de Paul.

    The jokes were dire (“Der Fledermaus? I once crossed a flea with a mouse. My cat’s itching to get at it!”)
