How old are you Andrew? I thought you were a young lad, but it reads as if you are in your late fifties with possibly a dozen ferrets in your back kitchen and a woodbines sticking out the corner of your mouth!
I'm young 25 year old man FC. I used to watch Wheeltappers late at night on the old Granada channel on Friday nights before we had ITV2,3,4. with late night On The Buses, George & Mildred and Bless This House to follow then it be early morning Wrestling or Porn took my mind of GCSE's. I would like ferrets FC you can build the shed for me. 
I also watched odd episode of The Comedians Charlie Williams was genius for me even when he appeared in Love Thy Neighbor sorry Stephen K Amos his a pioneer and stop going on about Koon cheese, yes it's Australian cheese with a offensive term don't need to mention it all the time your on TV. |

If anything, that generation of comics actually enjoyed inverse snobbery. Take Bernard Manning: he'd get quite respectable critics claiming that he had 'great' timing. That was absolute nonsense. Jack Benny had great timing. Manning had quite good timing for a humble club comic. A very different thing. I'm sad Carson's gone, but I found him an odd bloke, wandering around, 'off duty,' cracking jokes non-stop. There never seemed much connection with other people. But if he enjoyed life, in his own way, good for him. |

I prefer the old stand up comedy to this so called observational comedy it's too predicable and you know exactly what they going to say and you also know what the punchline going to be. Just wait for them to hear the audience laugh says it all so even have to tell them that's the joke says enough. I wish Colin Crompton was alive and well he made The Wheeltappers for me.
