Does anyone know who the 1960s comedy act was who performed a comedy act dressed as a baby with the catch phrase 'banging the pudding basin with a spoon', it may have been 'bang with the boon on the budding badin'. It was possibly performed on the royal variety or the good old days. The family are driving me nuts trying to work out who it was, please help me!
My vote goes to Freddie Sales.
'Bang! .. with the 'poon.'
That must win you the 2010 'Memory' award!
I remember my dad in tears watching this guy on the good old days. He talked about it for days. I'll have to check out you tube, and remind my mum.

No, he was in Roy Hudd's variety book for one...
I know when the 'Bang with a Poon' sketch was. It was on The Good Old Days on 26th December 1968. But how can I watch it?
Yes, I remember it. It was performed by Terry Scott.
Are you sure? I thought it was Freddie Sales who went bang with a poon.
Good Old Days on the 26/12/68 only had Freddie Sales in. No Terry Scott.

The comedian was Charlie Drake whose catch phrase was, 'wid a poon' (a babies version of 'with a spoon')
My dad had me in stitches when this chap was on, because he would come out with the phrase unexpectedly, which I found hilarious,
Mother not so much, 😂😂😂
