8:13Now PlayingThe actor, musician and variety show star George Formby mused on his career when he was the special guest on The Friday Show - just three months before he died at the age of 56.
The Wigan born entertainer reminisced about his beginnings in showbusiness and how he got his big break in the movie business.
In more personal moments, he explained why his wife Beryl was so influential in his life, let us in on the ukulele related secret he'd been hiding for many a year and stated how very grateful he was to be considered a 'star'.
