I remember watching the show when it went out. It was quite a brave move, on Jasper's part, to broadcast it live. To prove it was live he held up a portable television and tuned it to the BBC and told the audience 'watching at home' to turn over for a few seconds so that they could see it was real and not a recording. He also pleaded for them to switch back! I also remember in this show he dealt a classic put down to a heckler 'sit back in your chair and we'll plug it in😂 - the audience loved it!
Katy Boyle presented him and a few people were heckling if I remember right. My Mother said, “Turn it over, it looks rubbish”. Luckily we didn’t and a star was born.
We hired a VHS when my son, now in his fifties, was quite young, we recorded a Jasper show, he practically wore the tape out watching it. Then along came the vinyl records, he wore those out. No one has ever, in my opinion beaten my boy at laughing at Jasper Carrott, rolling about on the floor.
So do I. Especially the pick and mix, if anywhere does pick and mix now ìts mega expensive and you get practically bugger all. I remember reading in the papers a fair few years ago that one ex-woolworths had been reopened, selling the same stuff, and it was actually called Woolies!!! I wonder if it's still in business?
@@michaeledwards427They played part of Jasper's LP in Woolworth's record section. I thought it was a new Monty Python release. Bought the album and all the others as they came out. I wish I still had them!😊
Saw him in Norwich in the eighties. I laughed so hard I was praying for him to stop a minute so I could breathe. My diaphragm hurt for a week. I believe he still tours occassionally but he never comes east. I'm fairly certain he'd be very welcome here.
Birmingham's greatest. Had this on LP and after the mole story, when the tv transmission ended, Jasper did a story "Can you set fire to a fart". Yes you can was the answer.
The thing is, that's exactly what those little buggers do to you, I've been through the exact same thing except I stopped short of the 12 bore shotgun.
Absolutely terrific, please keep up the good work and keep ramping up the message about the genocide. Thank you Irish Reoublic and the Irish people. ❤❤❤
of all the comedic sketches i have seen over the years, this one is the one i have seen the most and still cracks me up. Ah Mr Carrott, you've given so many people a damn good laugh:)
It was most of the comedy back then that was toilet jokes, mothers in law, the Irish etc etc. Today is much more the observational side with very few traditional gag tellers.
Townie adapts to country life. Moles? You will never have that green stripey lawn you dreamed of. Mini mole- volcanoes greet your bleary waking eyes at dawn of day. I have watched a vegetarian Roman Catholic head gardener sneak up on an active mole hill and plunge a pitchfork into it. The writhing, impaled little creature, crushed quickly under his heel. As an estate gardener, you have to do things like this, it's all part of country life. That's why I left!
A time when I actually watched comedy on terrestrial TV. Now I don't bother big mistake, well we all make mistakes said the dalek getting off a dustbin.
Oh dear... Unrecorded? Of course not! This was recorded off-air where it was broadcast from a recording. It's still hilarious though. Thanks for the laugh.
Actually, it was from a programme broadcast live on ITV called The Unrecorded Jasper Carrott! It was slightly retitled on a repeat of the show as Recorded Jasper Carrott - the LP had the Un part crossed out!
