The joke's on us  

 

Feckin idiots the lot of them.

Yu've lost me... again... Velvet

I'm just heading up the M6 Baz  

 

I should be there in 45.

Can't stand him!

You are so right, They utter their drivvel and the GBP dutifully laugh because they are told it's funny - SHEEP!!!!!

I like the old comedians and comedy shows......Porridge, Vicar of Dibley, Open all Hours etc.

Me too. I'd rather watch As Time Goes By, Ever Decreasing Circles, The Good Life etc than any of the more modern stuff.

Same here Yogi  GOLD is out friend

I prefer American sitcoms

I see your point Fluffs, but of the 'new' comedians He's not too bad in my eyes. There is worse out there  

Oh, and for the record, I also like the old stuff I can get a belly laugh at 

 My favourite channel.

I love the old British comedies too though, especially anything with ronnie barker in, what a legend I liked to the manor born too!

Dying breed though Sweet 

 

There's not that many more out there like them 

 

 

I like Alan Carr 

True baz I can't remember the last British comedy series I liked!

We need a Dave Allen show.

 

With finger missing to appeal to East Asia    

and me ,I find the specials he does  not so good .

Velvet

Evening erin  

 

 

I always liked him, until I saw him live in a club in Manchester....and that was really  still liked his TV shows though 

I was the same with George Melly Dame  

 

Walked out interval Blackpool  

 

 

 

 

yes, huge disappointment Velvet 

I googled Melly guy and why the bleep would you go and watch him Velvet ,that music must be the most annoying music ever .Fair play for lasting as long as you did

PS The song I googled was Fanny Brown.

90 minutes of comedy on BBC1 followed by QI on BBC 2. Alas the first 30 mins clashed with Coronation Street Part 2. But I'm sure that it was as entertaining as last night.

When I got married in Germany to my Scottish husband, one of the big pressies was a transportable black and white TV. The first show we watched on it was Dave Allan and I was hooked.

Dunno if you've seen Bluestone 42. It is set in an army camp in Afganistan and has a curiously old fashioned vibe. Very PC light. When I tell you its on BBC3 I know you'll never take the chance though. I promise it is the only thing I watch on BBC3!  I'm also loving Parks and Recreation on BBC4. 

Thanks for that tip Judith. Yes! We watch 3 and 4.

Awww! What a lovely memory.   He was and still is, in my view, a comedy legend. 

Good, so report back Private! 

He is and I always thought that he was quite a dish too.  

 

 

Agreed! It was his sexy voice and accent, his humour, his smoking and his whisky. Whats not to like?!  

 

How you doing missus? 

Well I'm living longer than I was told. I feel a bit of a fraud now because when I was talking about it a couple of years ago, I really thought I'd had it, but it's only now that my quack and I have written down last wishes. My body seems to follow my mind (mind over matter and the mind is strong). I have to try and remember my weekly bone pill. That's the only peformance.

Oh, OK, I know what you mean. Well, hang on in there luv. You've already proved the power of positive thought then.
