I am the third generation of a showbiz family; my grandfather William was in ‘Fred Karno’s Army’ and understudied Charlie Chaplin in the UK and the USA, grandma Ethel became part of it too. Later William became a trick cyclist then formed The Willenors who appeared in the 1933 Royal Variety Show at the London Palladium in front of King George V.

Using a recording I made, this is an interview I did with my grandmother, Ethel Gwendoline H***e, in Tampa Florida in 1981 and will be broadcast and streamed as a 60 minute show on Sunday 11 February at 11am GMT.
