' The Pickles Family '
A short sketch by John Ellison
It is a long time now since the henpecked Aerbut Paerkes first found himself embroiled in a domestic contretemps before the microphone with his wife Gaertie, but the pair, with their Birmingham dialect, have remained great Midland favourites ever since.
Graham Squiers , who plays Aerbut
—a character he created over twenty years ago-has over three hundred published sketches and songs to his credit, as well as a broadcasting revue, Hip, Hip, Hooradio. He is an old microphone hand, having first broadcast from the Witton station, Birmingham, in 1922.
