Dad's Army, Morecambe & Wise, and Dave Allen

[CaptainMainwaring]

Now look here, men, Godfrey's bravery is put to the test this evening and I expect everyman to do his duty. These "conchies" are not to be trusted.
7.30 PM BBC 2

Then 9.00 PM Dave Allen, for 3 hrs.

I'll be watching the Dad's Army episode, although I've seen it several times before, because I think it has a 'feel good' content.

Dave Allen, though, I'll not be bothering with as I never found him particularly funny.

Morcambe & wise. Only "comedy" show with 2 straight men. Desperately unfunny dated drivel.

Straight men. How quaint. To many jobby jabbers these days.

 

[Norcon]

Indeed.
Far too many foul mouthed pillow munchers these days with no real talent.

Well that's completely subjective is it not!! 19 million people in the 80's will say I am wrong. But I can watch anything morcambe & wise without even cracking an inkling of a smile.
