Only one Dave Allan brilliant best there ever was no one has come closeripx

Why have we become so prudish? We used to watch and laugh our heads off with all of these amazing comedy sketches. We were the lucky generation. Everything is sadly so horribly dull now. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 John

The good die young. Certainly was in his case.

Used to love his show as a kid and it's still the best.

Kind of funny when at the 8 minute ark he talks about "imagine it's 2020" and here I am watching this in 2024....

It was great in its day, but now the country is filled with ignorant immigrants who have destroyed our shithole island.

I only just found Dave Allen this week. WHAT CLASS.

So glad we have videos as sadly he is gone and tv doesnt show him😢

What a treasure this was! I will save it and let my old da see it. He'll get the references too! But oh... have I learned how to laugh since I first laughed with Dave Allen... Sorrow, hardship and grief do indeed hone humor - and my adult sons don't understand me anymore. They'd better get a grip. Cheers, All!

Oh my God, i was 10 yrs old yet i still remember the Charlie and Pope ioke, which means i haven't totally lost my marbles....yet.

Dave Allen is the funniest Irishman since Oscar Wilde. 😆

I honestly wonder how that brilliant man got away with some of stuff he did, I still miss is humour I've never found anyone or heard anyone like him? He was the best and still is. We'll what ever God he's with I bet that great man is making him laugh.

Still love this man when I'm feeling a bit down,I just sit and binge watch him from every episode I've got.

Seeing this at 59 ..remember at ..from Sweden at 10-11 year and loved his humour, specieally the chirch..I understand him.not eveything but he was ,those who speak out.I new it then and know it now! God Bless kind eyes😊❤.

Dave Allen was simply the best. This would be even better if RU-vid didn't edit out the audio on every other sketch! Like it or not, this is history and you can't erase history because it might offend you!

This is horrible, unless you're 13, living in 1970. Something you'd see on Ed Sullivan. Lame !

And to think at the time, many found this controversial. I loved this show as a kid, and I'm laughing just as hard now. Dave Allen was a comedy genius!

I've never seen this series so thank you. Hard to believe it's so long ago.

When shitting was shit?

Grabbing a utube tune in 2024, getting drunk until you receive your next delivery at your front door.

He would've been a good James Bond.

Timeless comedy. Thank you David Tynan O'Mahony, and good night.

Thank you so much for sharing this, right back to my childhood, theme music & all, my dear mum loved him. Blessings ever from Belfast.

Thank you so much for this. I was 7 when this aired, my mum loved Dave Allen & this is such a gift to see over 50 years later, blessings from Belfast.

Top man! Always loved his dress sense.

Well there no comedy no more for fear of afending mozlems

He wasn't that far off with the £375pw. Maybe a few years late. But not a bad prediction.

A reminder of the the times when the BBC actually produced some of the best entertainment going....NOW THEY ARE A MARXIST SEWER

oooohhhhyes

oooohhhhyes

I have been looking for him for years. I couldn't remember his name but remembered it was a British show.

In the shops you can buy what they call...A BAG FOR LIFE. 😮😮😮I already have one. Married her 40 years ago. 😅😅😅😅

I love Dave allen I am a 77year old😂😂😂😂 5:02

He was light years ahead with content .Much respect to the BBC for not listening to the complainers that often rang in .

Funny, Dave Allen was my first real contact with British humor, well, Irish humor. Loved him from get go.

Always brilliant

Shit rape is not funny

Dave Allen was a genius best comedian ever to have walked this earth the most hilarious man ever doesn’t matter how many times I watch him I laugh and giggle so much and always will world class comedian missed beyond words 😢x

What an extraordinary artist! We didn't have the privilege to watch him during communist Romania 🇹🇩. I don't know why, I have watched scores of gems like this for the last few months and never seen anything against that hated system of the 70s and 80s. We owe you big, Dave Allen. 💕 from 🇹🇩.

Lukewarm

I am from Connecticut, USA and recalled watching the show on PBS. Loved the show ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely funny comedian 😂😅😅

The Brian Boru joke (around 5:45) is one of the funniest jokes of all time. I saw it more than 35 years ago, and remembered it well enough to look it up and find it now. Genius. :)

Ha Australia lotto draws probably in the late 70s? To clarify, during the episode the channel 7 logo appears so my guess is although this is a BBC production, the captured version is when it was aired on Channel 7 in Australia. As someone who grew up in Sydney in the 70s, I remember watching Dave Allen with my parents. Also the National lottery did not come to the UK to much later.

❤
