Hey everyone I would just like to announce that today is graeme gardens birthday today an to me that is very special so I decided to do a little blog for him! :-)
Graeme Garden
was born on the 18th of feb 1943 in Aberdeen, Scotland and grew up with a typical scottish upbringing. He was always quite keen on fishing, planing the banjo (quietly) and drawing.Graeme went to school at Repton in the middle of Derbyshire- he says "It was pretty tough.When you were a little boy there you had to get up at 7 sometimes and had to wake evryone else up by ringing a bell. If you were a minute late you had to do an extra days duty-it could go no forever." "It's good for you to get away from home but i ended up with some very close friends there and felt a bit cut off in the holidays." Graemes main "social event" was the ballroom dancing classes. "It was supposed to be the only respectible way to meet girls. It was terrifing, with these enormas ladies in big hairstyles who clutched you and lead you through the quicksteps." Through those years graeme really concentrated on his schoolwork mostly on the sciences. He had already decided to work in medicine and so he did in fact he did so until he got into show buisness. He saw a poster of the footlights society and that's where he met Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke- Taylor. And so he suddenly got stuck into script writing and acting while still trying to keep up his carrer as a doctor but it didn't quite work out. After that he, Bill and Tim wrote many scripts for Tv shows such as "Doctor in the house" and "Doctor at large" and "Broden your mind." But in 1970 they wrote a script for a show that became a very big show in england and won a Golden rose of montreux in 1972. He than began doing radio panel games called "I'm sorry i havn't a clue" which is still going to today. And also sang many hillarious songs including "Funky Gibbon" that became a big success and got to no. 1 in Top Of The Pops.Today Graeme still does use his talent to do voices in animated shows and also features in other shows while still playing in the panel game "I'm sorry I havn't a clue."
Today graeme turns 63 and still a man of laughter.
