Loved Les Dawson and his pal taking two old women off gossiping with their arms folded, and hair curlers in , and a turban on and the old fashioned aprons on.

I can understand why we don’t see The Black and White Minstrel Show anymore, but what are they to do with Les Dawson ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Mrs Brown's Boys is a controversial show but I like it. So I'm pleased they are doing a mini series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Most of the comedy shows that were made 40 or 50 years ago wouldn't be allowed to use the same scripts today. If they did Ofcom would be overwhelmed with complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did and was actually a very good pianist despite his piano ' performances ' on stage. With regard to the thread title I wasn't a fan of Mrs Brown's Boys, my favourite Irish comedy series being Father Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now bring back some of Les Dawson’s shows and then I really can laugh ! Not happening, the BBC's got a cob on about old comedy that's not er "PC", Les Dawson was anything but PC as I recall.

I must admit I’m very fond of the American stand up type of humour like Bob Hope . The only one like him is Billy Connelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beeb wouldn't know comedy if it tapped them on the head, that is why there is so much garbage on the Beeb these days. Steptoe, Porridge, Fools and Horses are just some of the comedays that can't be competed with because there isn't that standard of talent around today.
