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!

#movieandtvchallenge A Three Hour Long Movie: #itsamadmadmadmadworld One of my favorite comedies! Todays generation won't have any idea who these people are, these stars & comedians were well known among your grandparents's generation. Despite that it's still a very funny movie & still worth watching today! It even has a couple of well known cameos such as Jerry Lewis, Don Knotts, The Three Stooges, Peter Falk & Buster Keaton. There is a remake from the early 2000's called Rat Race & even that movie has a couple of well known names most people would recognize today. And even that movie is very funny too, but it doesn't have the same charm as the original & If you're not a fan of early 2000's humor (which can get too much sometimes) then you're not gonna like Rat Race... Give this movie a chance & watch it! It really needs more attention! #treasurehunt #stanleykramer #thebigw #spencertracy #miltonberle #sidcaesar #ethelmerman #jonathanwinters #terrythomas #philsilvers #dickshawn #buddyhackett #mickeyrooney #jerrylewis #carinwater #planecrash #billboard #carchase

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!

Great news! From Wednesday 18th March Phil's Spitting Image head will be on display. We are planning a celebratory weekend around Phil's heavenly birthday 11th May. Possibly the 9th and 10th May to celebrate the Museum's new home!

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.

'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!

Phil Silvers grew up at 417 Pennsylvania Avenue,Brooklyn, NY, with his family, according to the 1920 census when he was 9 years old. I made a pilgrimage in 2014 accompanied by US buddy Jonathan M Smith. It's time to commemorate with a plaque.

A rare day off sorting the conservatory/mancave! Decided to see how my VHS collection has coped from years of inactivity. Sony Smart Engine player, Cherokee Ernie, 1990's broacast on Fuji Super XG Pro tape. Quality is better than the Pluto TV screenings!

Shifting through the Archives I've stumbled on this curious handwritten note from Phil. Pearl was his sister and Phil the youngest of 8 siblings. Not quite sure what the sets are but Phil had 2 of 'em!

We're nearly there! Arranging and hanging the pictures is more painstaking than I remember! Recent visitors have given us a unanimous thumbs up even though the Museum is still under construction.

Phil Silvers en la maravillosa "El mundo está loco, loco, loco"
El actor
#PhilSilvers es de esos cómicos que hoy no se citan tanto, pero están en el ADN de su generación. Venía del vodevil y del escenario, y cuando la TV explotó vio el vehículo ideal para su talento. Actor de ritmo fernético, cara peculiar y ladrón de películas en una escena.

The delightful Julie Newmar who portrayed the voluptuous "Stacked" Suzie follows our Museum page. Always a thrill when she posts. She adored Phil and he adored Julie!
