Charlie Drake In: Grandad Was a Wrestler

Charlie Drake was a British comedian, actor, writer and singer who appeared in several TV show incarnations in Great Britain in the late 1950's and early 1960's.  Standing at only 5'1" tall, his famed catchphrase was "Hello my darlings!" as he was typically about eye-level with the bosom of a busty co-star.  He had a show called Charlie Drake In... that ran from 1958 to 1960.  

IMDB has added a credit to Jocelyn's filmography indicating that she appeared in an episode of this show, which was called Grandad Was a Wrestler.  It aired on November 25, 1958.

As far as I can tell, this show has never been released or re-broadcast, so my presumption is that it is likely a Jocelyn appearance that we will never get to view.  I have never seen any pictures from it either.

If anyone has any other information about Jocelyn's appearance in this show, I would love to hear about it.

  1. You did your research very well,much better than anything I've read on the internet so far.Let me fill in some of what's missing.After divorcing from Alfonso she moved to the U.S,I think to New Hampshire and later to California.On the occasion of her daughter's wedding to Investment Banker Dixon Boardman in Marbella she decided to move back to Spain.She started her fashion accessories business.At one point she needed a factory to produce her Handbags because she couldn't cope with the orders on her own anymore.She therefore went on a business trip to Morocco.Where she met a young Swiss Discjockey who was working in several Lounge Bars in and around Tangier.He accompanied her in the capacity of a translator to Casablanca to negotiate a deal with a Leather manufacturer.From what I heard the two of them fell madly in love and moved in together shortly after they met.With Jackie moving first to Tangier,then to Casablanca and back to Tangier.Last I heard is that they live in Chelsea-London since 2013.

  2. Thanks Carlos! I appreciate you taking the time to share that information. Are you acquainted with Jocelyn, or are you a fan who has kept up with her through press reports?
