'Come 'ere' - Jimmy Cricket talks to Helen Jones

The lockdown has seen an "explosion" of entertainment, as professionals and amateurs take to the internet to keep the rest of us amused.

Everywhere you look online there are jokers, jugglers, magicians and singers.

It's like a new age of "variety" has begun.

Funnily enough, Saturday 16 May was declared as "Music Hall and Variety Day."

The idea comes from friends and colleagues of the late Roy Hudd.

The veteran entertainer died in March...and 16th May would have been Roy's 84th birthday.

To talk about variety in a world gone mad, who better to speak to than Jimmy Cricket and he was chatting to Helen Jones on the Saturday Breakfast Show
