Hes not been funny for ages - his classic stuff was heavily based on stereotyping and observation - can you imagine him doing "Les the bar man" now? the dementia and Alzheimer's society would be calling for everyone involved to be sacked by the BBC see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things move on. Old Man Cleese railing - on the BBC - that the BBC wouldn't commission Monty Python now. Well, no, of course not. In the same way that no one was making silent slapstick movies in 1969. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Futtocks Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) On 17/10/2022 at 18:03, graveyard johnny said: are you joking? the woke brigade would be straight on that one - Enfield, Whitehouse , Walliams, Lucas and the league of,,,, team wouldnt be able to make the harmless comedy they made 20 odd years ago nowadays - not a chance ...and Stavros makes a comeback, as expected. Now running a fancy coffee bar, because that's modern Hackney. The imaginary "woke brigade" remains imaginary, as usual.

Bedford Roughyed Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Andor - Best Star Wars spin off by a country mile. Scene setting, tension, story arc, etc. 3 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The Love Box in Your Living Room, a history of the BBC by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, was excellent, clever and occasionally poignant. It will enrage only those who either feel that way as a hobby, or those who are paid to fake that emotion on a daily basis.
