Bizarrely went to a pub quiz last night and one of the rounds was to shape a pumpkin out of play dough. Randomly opted for this Tommy Cooper pumpkin. Didn't win. There's a small chance they may not of recognised him.

Nothing dates like comedy. Tommy Cooper was a funny man but I can see why a young person seeing an old clip would be mystified. My Mum saw Max Miller live and says he was a very funny act but whatever it was he had was very much of its time.

I have always been left cold by the Goonshow but there were programmes that I loved in years gone by that I see or listen to now and wonder what I saw in them. I am sad to say that a lot of Monty Python has that effect on me now.

One old radio show that I think does stand up to the test of time is Round the Horne. Still wonderful.

Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial

Agreed. Seen them years ago in Lewisham concert hall,they were cack!!

Sad to think my old fav only fools wouldn't be appreciated by any off spring I have...as you all say...most comedy ages terribly

presently...I don't think there's anyone quicker than lee mack.

Yep... he's cooking on comedy gas right now.

I hope Lee Mack uses some of that gas to poison Russell Howard who is not in the slightest bit funny.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
