Will never forget that episode of Give Us A Clue, when Una Stubbs and her team sat there slack jawed and aghast as Mimemeister Lionel managed to pull off 12 Angry Men in under two minutes!

Just heard Christopher Biggins' tribute. Devastated.

Another of the gentlemen who, when you talk to people who've worked with him, are unstinting in their respect and affection.
RIP

He was very good on programmes, and never took himself seriously.

One of the last TV entertainers of my youth gone

Always remember his younger sister Joyce Blair who was also a dancer on many 60s progs. She died 15 years ago.

Tapping round the footlights,
dancing on air,
lighter than light,
Mr Lionel Blair.

A twinkle in the eyes,
a twinkle in the toes,
a smile and a wink
and away he goes...

I honestly thought he'd past years ago.

Saf news though. He seemed a traditional old school entertainer. Just decent humour with no edge

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

I saw him in Gatwick a few years ago. I was surprised at how small he was. .
