Welcome to the final edition in Season 12. In this episode I know you’re going to enjoy as I take you back to the height of Cannon & Ball’s success as a double act that lasted decades right up until the very sad passing of Bobby Ball in 2020.
Tommy Cannon, a national treasure and one who admits he owes his career to Bobby in those early years as he talks to Eyes & Teeth about a Weld of Laughter.
Double acts over the years on British television have always been there but they seem to have a decade or so dedicated to them, in that case the 1980’s were Cannon & Balls years. Cannon & Ball have always been there it seems from those early Wheeltappers Shows in the 1970’s too I’m a Celebrity and Last Laugh in Las Vegas in more recent years.
I can relate to double acts as a ventriloquist, but I can’t imagine what I’d do without Arthur Lager. It would be like losing a right arm, literally for me, but when the nation lost Bobby Ball, we all felt a great loss as if he were our funny uncle, but he was someone’s father, husband, son, friend and to Tommy more like a brother.
In this final edition to Season 12, welcome to Eyes & Teeth the big big talent of Tommy cannon
