Very funny chat show appearance by Spike Milligan, where he is reunited with some of his old War War II colleagues to celebrate his 70th birthday on Terry Wogan's chat show in 1988. Includes surprise guest at the end.
Apologies for the quality of the footage, but I thought comedy fans would like to see it.

Wogan-"You all stayed together during the War which is extraordinary really"- quick as a flash interrupted by Spike, "Well we were on the same side, you see." Loved him. Such a quick wit. Sorely missed.

I met spike several times, although he was a difficult character, I loved him, and miss him dearly, he cost me a fortune! Sleep well Prince of Comedy. xxxx

@jeanmyers1787 4 года назад

TheMrgaztop I hope he’s resting well now, he was a tormented soul but a source of much laughter.

Here in America, it wasn't so very long ago that I heard the name Spike Milligan for the first time. Since then, he's made me laugh myself silly. How, oh how, did we ever miss this one? He is the Shakespeare of Comedy!!!!

After he had served his country in the war, the British government rewarded him by declaring him stateless.

@ClannCholmain 3 года назад

@Paul Williams, Spike’s father was Irish, and Spike was an Irish citizen. In an interview he called himself Irish. Many many Irishmen died in Britain uniform, and I’m not aware of any doing that for Hitler or Mussolini.

@grantd165 Год назад

He seems so happy here which wasn't always the case. Bless him, he's from my Grandads generation and reading Spikes war diaries bought me closer to him than anything else. Not a perfect man by any means but Ive loved him ever since I first read puckoon.
