Hard graft was needed then. Now it's instant stardom on fake reality shows. Tommy and Bobby are awesome professionals. Thank you Cannon and Ball for all the laughs. RIP Bobby. We love you both.
The term legend is used quite loosely these days with young people... A pair of welders from Lancashire who made it big time during the 80's, fair play to them
I feel for Tommy. Losing your best friend after all those years together. Its heartbraking. Cant imagine how he is feeling. Tommy, were thinking of you. RIP BOBBY.💜
Fantastic Comedy partnership timeless forever remembered for years and years to come thanks for the memories can you upload more cannon and ball please? Many thanks 👏❤ ❤👏
Those were the days when we all laughed at slapstick comedy and the cleanest of fun.................Truly two great hard working showman who will be forever remembered...........God help the lot of us !!!!!

Saw these in Bournemouth years ago when I was young, was literally crying with laughter the way Tommy was manhandling Bobby around the audience onto the stage, funny stuff...Rest in Peace.
So touching that , working men and their families who supported and believed in them , so emotional watching that ... Thank you fellas for years of laughs and memories that will take me to see you on the big stage in heaven , bet your show is sold out all the time x
In a time when stars from the past have turned out to be awful people, it’s so amazing to know that these men were not only hilarious and amazing at their craft, but also brilliant, charitable and compassionate. Rock on forever ✌🏻❤️
He was just a pure dynamo of Energy that would make you smile along with all the greats we have lost and yet you can have all the money in the world but laughter is the key to life ,he had that in abundance, they may not be your family just being on tv this duo made my childhood alot happier Rock on and god bless you tommy
Cannon and Ball must be amongst the greatest Comedian's that are and still loved around the world though Bobby has passed on I still watch their stuff on Utube fabulous
No pretentions about bobby whatsoever. Are you nervous? Are you crying? Are you talking posh? Say what you see bobby lol. So much better than being uptight and afraid to say what you think for fear of upsetting social norms
@@lorrainemetcalfe8516 thanks for the info. I wonder who was first to be on the show as a duo ? The only other pair I could think of who might be on together is ant and Dec. Sad to think chas and Bobby are no longer with us 😢
@@vaseofflowers4619 Tommy could. He's still with us. Seems to have an unfortunate habit of arranging shows though only to cancel them. We booked twice to go and see him and both times its been cancelled. Whilst there may have been good reasons for the cancellations if he continues to cancel shows people are going to stop re-booking because they'll assume it's going to be cancelled again.
Tom, if you get this, our band , many years ago backed you both at a club in Manchester called Fagins. Again years later, we met you both again at Frank Carson's house.
That mill they talk about, I'm sure it's the same one my Grandad worked at, Lilac Mill in Shaw, 51 years he did there, and the one where they met my Dad got a job there, only lasted two weeks.
richard jones i was one of the kids on the right as you look as they came down the aisle to the stage, a group of us were taken there by our English teacher from Holloway boys school a Mr Hodes, first time iv got to see this REPLY
For anyone who has not seen Tommy's testimony do look it up on TH-cam. So lovely that they both came to know Christ and their relationship was restored. ❤🙏❤

Not quite. I've just checked the list - this was on 11 November 1981. Their 'problem period' started a couple of years later. Tommy is genuinely emotional here, struggling a bit. I reckon that's why he is a bit subdued.
rossmcl177. Yes you are right. They said in an interview on Lorraine Kelly that they had problems for a couple of years in the mid eighties but then Tommy became a born again Christian and their friendship was saved.

Legends younger people got no idea how funny they where there never going to go to a pavilion and experience class acts like these it's gone
Absolutely!
These people had genuine talent
Two working class lads from the north, from good lovin families, who did well for themselves. Good on them. RIP Bobby.

Just seen the tribute on TV. Lovely and touching.
I believe this is from 1981 - Great to see an obviously loving family behind the public persona.

Thanks Andrew for posting this video. Love Cannon and Ball. I think This is your life should come back on tv.
Isn't it fantastic how much love Bobby had for his wife and family. It was the same at the very end of his life. What a man.

The middle bit wasn't so good though.
Brilliant rock on TOMMY ;) so many we have lost RIP to all seen here now just memories
Nice how Bobby is holding hands with his wife all the time 🙂. RIP Bobby.

I am a born again Cannon and Ball Fan.
I used to work just around the corner from Drury Lane Theatre, so interesting to see what it looked like back then. 😃
Just shows how much they were Loved. LEGENDS
Nice guys. RIP Bobby, thanks for the laughs 😢
RIP BOBBY YOU 🌟 ⭐ xx
I met Cannon & Ball real life in 2002 in Birmingham & I remember talking to Bobby Ball.
I think this was the one and only time two people were the focus of this is your life at the same time. A testament to their friendship ❤
Chas n Dave was on together

cannon and ball as good as eric and ernie r.i.p bobby
I find this deeply moving because sadly Bobby Ball died of covid not so long ago
Tom, if you get this, our band , many years ago backed you both at a club in Manchester called Fagins. Again years later, we met you both again at Frank Carson's house.
One of the best double acts in history r I p Bobby x
Rest In Love Bobby and watch over Tommy .
Tommy is probably one of the most emotional people Ive see going back re-watching all these old TIYL episodes.
RIP BOBBY Miss u
Fantastic 🏆🐨
Bloody hell,this is 40 years ago!!
Look how humble they are... Thankful. You wouldn't get that now. God bless.
One fabulous programme of This is your life!!😊
Charlie Drake sober? never thought I'd see that lol
briliant duo never 2b 4gotten rock on bobby
Saw these two at Middlesbrough town hall in 86 great nite. Out
if you watch this without smiling all the way through theres something seriously wrong with you
That mill they talk about, I'm sure it's the same one my Grandad worked at, Lilac Mill in Shaw, 51 years he did there, and the one where they met my Dad got a job there, only lasted two weeks.
Rock on in heaven bobby x
Rock on Tommy Bobby ball RIP 😢
R.ip Bobby nice see this Bobby ball hold his wife Yvonne family
Nice late bobby ball hold his wife Yvonne hand he look so happy
Hard to believe that they hated each other here at this time
Lovely lads!
I remember going to see them in Blackpool with my mum and dad, great days.
Heart warming love it
Nice to see Charles as a serious mature man. Nothing like his clumsy ,buffoon character!
Bobby looks like he should be in a spaghetti western
Britain's best loved comedians x
They weren't even looking when poor old Eamon popped out the cannon 😁😁👍👍
Very strange shot at 26:23 where Bobby appears to give his son a back hander LOL.

i was one of the kids on the right as you look as they came down the aisle to the stage, a group of us were taken there by our English teacher from Holloway boys school a Mr Hodes, first time iv got to see this

Diana looks breathtakingly beautiful in this
Wow.... Diana doors was still alive.. I. Must have been young at this time..
For anyone who has not seen Tommy's testimony do look it up on TH-cam. So lovely that they both came to know Christ and their relationship was restored. ❤🙏❤
A touching tribute to Cannon and Ball. Have you got any more episodes of This is your life please?
You keep asking I’ve seen it on everyone why don’t you get them yourself ?
That is a bit harsh. I am only asking that's all.
Thank you. I wasn't being horrible just asked that's all.

They weren’t very surprised! Did they know?
Daddy outbelly butted him 😂
Judging by the body language and Tommy’s reaction to Bobby’s family. I think this was in the many years that they weren’t “speaking”.

You’re right! 😮😄
I've thought that many times, but nobody ever took me seriously 🤣
These must have been set up????
Better than the crap. Ant dec oh no omg. Try but not as good that’s fact
They did slightly copy Eric n Ernie routines though as did. Othsr double acts Groucho Marx
R.i.p Bobby ......the last time I saw bobby and tommy was at ALAMBRA IN BRADFORD IN THE 80S
They had the same writers as Eric & Ernie
their wives are a bit ropey considering they were big stars
They loved their wives as they loved them.
I will sleep happy watching this.
R.i.p bobby
