This is Your Life (UK)

Jimmy Cricket (28x4)

Uitzenddatum: Nov 04, 1987

Jimmy Cricket, Northern Irish comedian, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews on a central London building site. Jimmy began his comedy career working as a red coat in various holiday camps, initially in Ireland, and then after moving to Manchester, in the north of England. He won the London Weekend Television’s talent show, Search For a Star and was given his own series, And There’s More – named after his best known catchphrase. Jimmy almost always appears in his trademark outfit of cut-off evening trousers, dinner jacket, hat and wellington boots marked L and R for left and right, but worn on the wrong feet. His edition was almost jeopardised by an incredible one-in-a-million chance meeting the day before the surprise. The show was broadcast on the eve of Eamonn Andrews's death, and was, therefore, the last This Is Your Life programme that Eamonn would have watched.
