Dickie Henderson - Leg Mania: Eccentric Dance routine with Billy Dainty and Max Wall 1971

I actually watched this livestream , or broadcast. I’m well into my 70s now, Happy days .❤️🙏

Billy Dainty was an absolute genius at this….Loved watching him….☺️

You don't get entertainers like them now

Lol so bad.

This never fails to leave me happy, no matter how many times I watch it.

Who would've thought Max Wall would be the fashion icon for all youngish women in the UK who walk round with black leggings tucked into white Sox?
Good evening

I remember all of those chaps. Entertainment without any message. Good to see how it was.

Dickie Hendersen's gimmick was he threw himself on the floor

This was in the days when we had good entertainment on the TV.

Great to see this performance again.

God, Billy Dainty could move! GLORIOUS!

Easily pleased back then ............

good mobility for the ages but geeky tooth pic bodies, eeewwuuuu!

Which one is in dainty?

Boy Dickie Henderson can move his legs!!

Now there's nothing.

Впервые увидела!!!! В середине совершенно воздушный!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Max Wall, what a mover!

Loved seeing this.

Brilliantly entertaining, two left us far to soon (59 and 62)

Billy Dainty had all the timing of a stopped clock

Does anybody know what the name of the tune is??

Not a month goes by youre reminded (& quite rightly so) by TV of Dawson, Monkhouse, Cooper, morecambe & Wise & yet these three seam to be airbrushed .What price now for a multi talented midlantic knockabout like dickie Henderson.

That’s my morning routine.

Billy Dainty was even better at Max Wall walks than Max Wall although to be fair Billy was twenty years younger.

Could anyone else see Norman Wisdom in this routine? 🦘

Awesome...the last fading echoes of Variety and the Music Hall, the truly talented making the switch to TV and surviving on.... pure bloody talent. And they did it all wearing Dinner Jackets....!

I’m born in the 1950s and this contrived garbage makes me realise how lucky the youngsters of today (2024) are!!😀👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I can’t stop smiling.

These guys were entertaining during war. They know how to put a smile on your face.
Show buz today is very different.

Actual talent!! Terrific

Brilliant!!

But show this now and people would say, "can't watch this shit!" and turn over looking for Come Dine With Me or Love Island, or some other high quality programming. 🤮

(Just realised I sound like my Gramps, never mind sounding like my Dad!!)

“Light Entertainment” at its best.

Billy dainty was the best.

They never cease to make me laugh. Back in the day before the BBC got Woke! Simple slapstick.

Max Wall and a couple of amateurs.

hoew did those rhree get on the stage? look under Mike and Bernie Winters

It's interesting to see who kept their Right foot on their toes at the end.

James Cagney dances in that stuff leg style with lots of the same moves.

Yes, Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks must have been inspired by Max Wall and Billy Dainty.

Billy dainty! What a mover

I love this - great entertainment.😊😊

The Britain I loved ! great performance.

They were all good, but Billy's foot movements are a cut above and his movements in general seem sharper. He probably had a good few years on the other two so it's not surprising though.

Billy danced the pants off them

The BBC killed light entertainment. So sad.

Please shoot me it I ever start liking stuff like this. 😱

What is this music?

The other two are good, but Max Wall is in a class of his own. You can see how excited Billy Dainty is to be performing with him. Great stuff!
