Phil Silvers comedian UK tour musical

1974 I was 9 years old & unaware Phil Silvers was touring his beloved England with a revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Phil was recovering from a stroke but people who watched him said he was dynamite!

Circa 1984 when my bedroom doubled as a Museum to Phil Silvers! And look at all that hair! As Phil once said, 'All people with hair look funny!

'An incredible collection that brings back such fond memories watching Bilko'
Audrey & Ed, Leicester.

A first time visit earlier this week from Audrey & Ed. Their first visit to Coventry the Museum was their first port of call. Ed said without hesitation we are the #1 attraction ahead of the Cathedral! Praise indeed!

When we launched the Society in 1984 Phil kindly gave his blessing. Delighted we sent him the first 2 editions of The Fort Baxter Journal, along with his honorary membership card 001!

That's lovely. Just had a Facebook friend request from Angela Douglas! An accomplished actor, married to Kenneth More and starred with Phil in Follow That Camel 🐫

Watching Bilko's Pigeons from the 3rd season. The show kept retakes down to a bare minimum so one presumes this glorious scene with the feather was filmed in one take!

A 2017 memory, Ernie on manoeuvres and recent visitors to the new Museum. Reaction has been unanimously positive with everyone agreeing it has a more Museum feel compared to the old one. We think Phil would be overjoyed!

Stumbled across this nestled in an archive box. Original, old school, cut and paste template for The Phil Silvers Society before our official launch in 1984/85 with Phil's blessing.

Strange ailment? Look at his record. Every year a new disease. Rhinitis, Ophitis, Bovinitus. Took you a week to find out it only affected cows! Tonsillitis twice - once the hard way - without tonsils!
- Hiken's brilliant writing. Ford's sublime delivery.

#happywomensday❤️ The delightful Elisabeth Fraser one told me, ''I adored working alongside Phil Silvers. He was a quiet guy but always warm, thoughtful and caring.' Bilko not only pushed multiracial boundaries it also respected the female cast and crew.

#philsilvers #women #equality #respect

'He had a peculiar talent with that wonderful basset-hound face of his. I have always felt I deserved some special award for working alongside Paul Ford without collapsing in laughter at everything he did.'
- Phil Silvers, 1973.

The Fort Baxter washroom door is finished! Ecstatically happy with the new Museum. Although it's a slightly tighter space it works perfectly as I'm sure Phil Silvers would be the first to agree!

#spongebob carrying on a tradition. Jimmy Durante co-starred with Phil in 1941's You're in the Army Now, Peter Lorre appeared with Phil in 1942's All Through the Night and our Phil, perhaps the most popular comedian with animators!
