As we like to disagree about comedy.....

Used to love his material back in the day, curious to see how it's aged, it doesn't seem to get shown that often, which I seem to recall was a term of his will?

Recordy boxed now armed.

Remember being allowed to stay up for Dave Allen as kid if I was good when I was probably to young to understand some of the jokes.

Pretty sure the first topless woman I saw on TV was a Dave Allen sketch involving 2 elderly Victorian men having a duel to the death by seeing which one had a heart attack first as a woman stripped.

I'm guessing that won't be shown in the 21st century.

I wonder if they'll include the one about the catholic boy, the protestant boy and the Jewish boy talking about Christmas.

Last request before death by firing squad was a reoccurring Dave Allen gag, this is the one that I always remember

I'm not sure it is.

Although I did like "did you fart?"

My mother wouldn't let us watch it when we were kids, strict catholic upbringing etc.
My dad's laughing his head off tonight.

I like the sardine factory workers on the way to work and not last to the cemetery sketches.
From what I remember don’t think there’s much to date it, though thanks to the PSA I’ll have a look on iplayer.

My Dad wasn’t a major music fan, he had loads of comedy records and introduced me to the Goons, Python, Pete & Dud, Derek & Clive.

I was lucky that his sense of humour meant I was one of the few at school that managed to watch the Young Ones.
