Now, Where Were We? with Barry Cryer and Bob Cryer

Joe Brown - Part 2: Vera Lynn's Started Gargling

In a music room deep in the rolling hills of Oxfordshire on a beautiful summer's day, Barry and Bob settle down onto a squashy sofa owned by the incomparable musician, entertainer, actor and raconteur Joe Brown for a talk about the Lynton Boys, the Beatles, Morecambe and Wise, Spike Mullins, Simon Dee, Vera Lynn and . We dedicate this episode, along with all the others in the series, to the memory of our wonderful pal Barry: a joyous spirit, a supremely funny man, and one of the kindest, warmest, nicest, sweetest people you could ever have the privilege of spending time with. We will all miss him so much. With many thanks to the Kites (Mark Allen, Jack Cryer and Matt Hodgson) for the tremendous theme music.You can hear more from the Kites <a href="https://thekites2.bandcamp.com/album/whispers-from-the-cabin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>!

Now, Where Were We? is the show that Barry Cryer has been waiting 86 years to make!  Alongside his son, actor and writer Bob Cryer, Barry's booked a room at a favourite London pub, called up a bunch of famous pals he's not seen since lockdown began, and he's invited them down for a pint and a proper catch-up. This is Barry at his storytelling best, in his natural habitat, doing what he’s done for decades: making us laugh.  There is some very explicit language used in punchlines from time to time, but Barry's nearly 90, so it's sort of delightful, isn't it?
