Met him back in the 70's when he was compere/MC of a big folk music event in Oldham. Asked to fill in at the last moment we were low on the bill but he was a complete gentleman and total professional, treating us with great kindness and as equals. I'll always remember him fondly.

A truly legendary man who has been in so many programmes, films, comedy shows, dramas, and played so many memorable characters. He will be truly missed. 'Right said Fred' has also been a signature tune as well since we were small. We've lost a great man today. God bless Bernard. RIP mate.

This song and “The hole in the ground” are guaranteed to put a smile on your face as did the wonderful Bernard Cribbins himself with his acting and narration. His voice was everywhere in my childhood, even as BT’s Buzby the bird! I’ll never forget all the great TV and film work and certainly not his catchy songs. It’s no exaggeration to call him a great British national treasure. Sadly gone but never forgotten. Thank you Bernard for so many lovely memories. RIP.

I absolutely LOVE this song!!! It is SOO 1962...it SCREAMS the early, pre-Beatles 60s in Britain...the 60s when Cliff Richard & The Shadows were Britain's biggest pop stars...the 60s before they began to swing...the 60s when 'Hancock' and 'Supercar' were on telly. I was only about 2 years old when this song came out, and yet for me it evokes strong memories of early childhood. Bernard Cribbins RULES!! Oh, and my 8 year old daughter loves it too! 6 cups of tea in just over 2 minutes...classic!
