The Laurel & Hardy Podcast

Formerly known as The Laurel & Hardy Blogcast, this is the only podcast to take you on a chronological journey through the films of the world’s best-loved comedy team, Laurel and Hardy. In each episode, I take a deep dive through each film the boys made together and I’m joined by a special guest on every show. Helping me to discuss these wonderful comedies are the world’s leading authorities on Laurel and Hardy and Hal Roach Studios, such as Randy Skretvedt, Richard W. Bann, Glenn Mitchell, Rob Stone and many more. If you love classic comedy, this is the podcast for you.

In this very special bonus episode of The Laurel & Hardy Podcast, Patrick chats with star of TV and stage Jeffrey Holland. Jeffrey is someone who can rightly be referred to as a member of UK TV royalty. His acting career on both stage and screen over the years has been prolific, appearing in such TV classics as Dad’s Army, Are You Being Served? It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, but he became a household name for his roles in the celebrated sit-coms, Hi-De-Hi, You Rang M’Lord and Oh, Doctor Beeching.

Since 2013, Jeffrey has been touring with his one-man stage show entitled, ‘…and this is my friend, Mr Laurel’, a play in which he plays Stan reminiscing about his life and career. Jeffrey also talks about his earliest memories of Laurel and Hardy and ultimately faces the Atoll Question.
