He began his career as a sidekick to comedians such as Tony Hancock, and had a regular role in the sitcom, The Army Game. Emery's weekly BBC show, which ran on and off from 1963 to 1979, consisted of sketches which mostly involved his dressing up as various characters. The best-known was "Mandy", a voracious blonde whose catchphrase was "Ooh, you are awful ... but I like you!" - which became the title of Emery's own British Lion theatrical release (in which Emery displayed the same penchant for characterisation, both male and female).
