In the episode "Turned Out Nice Again," the year is 1942, and Gary meets George Formby and his manipulative wife. What is it about the comic singer's music that Gary cannot stomach? Personally, I find Formby's recordings to be very likable and entertaining. I have a virtually complete collection of his songs, with 229 titles in my CD library (all copied into my iTunes). I would have expected Gary to enjoy Formby, picking up on the catchy tunes and double entendres, and the ukulele passages are great fun to hear.
In the GS story line, Formby wants to purchase what he supposes to be a Gary Sparrow song, "When I'm Sixty-Four," but of course our hero balks at the idea, fearing the ramifications of pocketing money for a future Beatles composition. Interesting to imagine what might have been! I think George Formby would have performed that particular song with wonderful flair, and I can almost hear how it would have sounded.

Yes I agree. It must have been some hang up the writers had, or perhaps they just portrayed Gary's dislike for the dislike lines. As kids we adored George Formby and never missed his films. I only ever saw him once, when on holiday in Torquay in the summer of 1957. He was playing at one of the theatres there, and I do remember that he had a selection of ukeleles and banjos at the side of the stage. Don't know if its true, but people used to say that he really didn't play the ukelele hence the wide range of instruments each one in a different key, so he only had to strum and sing. Something else many people don't know, his Dad, George Formby Senior sounded so much the same - listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5h6UKWKbo But I wasn't at all convinced by the actor who played George in the Series. He was so far removed from the real George. That is what did put me off. On the other hand David Benson as Noel Coward was a gem and really did get the character right.

I think George is probably a marmite quandry. I never liked him when I was a kid. I think it was his voice, which is a bit unfair because we are all born with the voice we've got. He was undoubtadly talented but just not for me.
