    Such bad grammar - sadly a very common mistake. It should be nicely, unless he meant "turned out (to be) nice again", e.g. referring to the weather.

    From the film 'Let george Do It'
    "Ha Ha Never touched me"

    One of my fave Formbyisms "Oh Me insides coming out" from 'Its in the air'

    BE SURE TO SWITCH BBC4 ON NEXT WEEK FOR THE NEW FORMBY STORY WITH FRANK SKINNER. 9PM 27th OCT 2011

    Soooo...has anyone taken the plunge on this one yet? My interest in Formby was rekindled by Frank Skinner's wonderfully affectionate biography of the great man and this looks like it could be an excellent read.

    "Me Tarzan, you Jane"

    "You dirty rat"

    "Elementary, my dear Watson"

    "Beam me up, Scotty"

    "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well"

    "Play it again, Sam"

    etc.
