Inge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Have always loved Joyce Grenfell, Nursery school Sketches, and until now I had been unable to find them again..(I do have them in book form which is now falling apart) Just thought I would share these as when listening to them now I can often hear myself repeating some of the phrases she uses, and others can never understand why I am so amused ........ free activity period Flowers enjoy Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo A Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I love Joyce Grenfell too. Makes me giggle lots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks Inge, brightened my day, I've never heard of these before. Loved the finger in the keyhole, of course all would come and watch, then someone else would try it. I loved the flower one, how often does the 'adult' take so long to get an activity started, then all the children lose interest. I'm surprised thee was any time left to do the dance!. The girls were very girly and the boys, well 'just boys'. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Fantastic! I feel the need to share those at work tomorrow now! If you didn't know it was Joyce Grenfell, you could easily mistake it for Penelope Keith, couldn't you? Margot has the same tone with Gerry in "The Good Life", doesn't she!

Guest MaryEMac Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Brilliant. Thanks Inge. Joyce Grenfell is one of my favourites and these two clips really brightened my day. I never tire of hearing them. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Fantastic, although I seem to be the only person here giggling. Joyce Grenfell worked in the nursery just along the road from me in the 20's (I think) so not a lot changes really does it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Wonderful I've really enjoyed listening to these. As you say they have been difficult to find. Over the years I have often caught myself out sounding just like Joyce ! Now all we need is Les Dawson playing the piano, sounding just like me as well!

catma Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Somewhere I've got a whole LP of Joyce Grenfell I found in the local charity shop. I did once have a George and my running commentary was often punctuated with his name!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynned55 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 thank you so much, I can often hesr her in myself or other staff at work and sometimes I have a quiet chuckle to myself, but only one other member of staff knows who she is or remembers the sketches. I m going to take these into work and play them, brilliant stuff! I think thoseof us who remember her are probaly of a certain age!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
