Funniest 2 Ronnie's = late stand in village play. Only saw it once. Actually cried laughing.

Cook and moore one legged audition and TW3 "no jenkins" get honourable mentions.

Sorry, can't stand Due and Pete. Peter Cook, overrated badly (IMO).

They did do some odd good stuff but I always found Dudley Moore's corpsing during sketches annoying and unprofessional, and detracted from the humour.

A bit like Python, really. Some absolute belters but you have to wade through a lot of dross to get to them.

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Monty Python is an odd one in that there are no hidden gems. All the well known bits are all there is. It’s difficult with that sort of humour to see why some works and some doesn’t. Reeves and Mortimer have experienced this as well.

I remember it being de rigeur at my school to carry around the 'Derek and Clive (Live)' album. I finally got to listen to it at a friend's house, but I'm afraid that I didn't find it at all funny.

Peter Cook in a brief cameo at the start of the first episode of 'The Black Adder' always makes me laugh though.

Not a comedy sketch but this Sunday 10.20pm on ITV is Mike Basset.

If you've never seen it you are in for a treat, supposedly based on Graham Taylor it reminds me more of Big Sam. Great moment when a drunk Mike Basset is dancing on the tables in his underpants, not a pretty sight. Pele walks in with a journalist talking about the beautiful games takes one look and say "the English" and quickly steers her out the door.

Love this movie.

The Rowan Atkinson piano mime in the first Secret Policeman's Ball - brilliant, clever and very funny.
