MM,
Yeah he was funny in his day, ...Always Original!!
But we had quite a few Good Comedians, around that time, thinking of the ones in his era, ... there was Tommy Cooper, Ronnie Barker, both just as good in there own right... Funny though, i can't remember any more names, but i know it was a golden era for UK comeadians for around 10 years...
Then there was the TV comedy series, you must of heard of ''only fools and horses'' , another was ''Till Death do us part'' ..you Yanks copied that one, ( think you called it ''Archie'' or something.) then there was ''Steptoe and Son''
Try Googling them, ...haha!! Especially the Only fools and horses movie length episodes that were released as Xmas specials every year. If you find them, look for the superman one, now that one was funny.....
David....
