Never ever be another.

No f ing or blinding, just pure comedy.

Les Dawson, another great English treasure. Bless him.......

Funny bloke 😢😢

Wish we had these wonderful times back fantastic les was ❤

Absolutely adored Les,broke my heart when he died,moreso as my dad died three months later also in hospital xx

Oh my dog. Bloody Hughie Green

Peter whittaker what a ridiculous comment

These truly talented Comics will never be replaced

Jane Horrocks, what a rude women. You are an actor dear, read repeat,read repeat, don't take yourself so seriously.

Les Dawson is a national Treasure 👍🇬🇧

Wow! His side burns are something else!

I'd take this mans comedy before any comic alive today. it's just not in the same class. We thank the internet for hooking us up with the classic comedians of yesterday

Thanks 🙏

Loved les wished we'd got people like this now, all to fake and full of themselves

One of the greatest comedians of all time. The world is a much duller place without Les.

Les, we need you now. We have no laughs.

There is no comedy now, just reflections, not a smile.

I am midway through his autobiography, easily one of the best written biographies around. At this time you can still pick it up for less than the price of postage. The reason he looks so gobsmacked is he was worried his wife was having an affair, due to silent phone calls and home visits of strange men to his house when he was out. Of course it was only the show team arranging this episode.

Aok 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

IM so glad to have stumbled upon this guy, literally laughed until i cried -

that raised platform on set is a health & safety nightmare 😂

Genius - thank you for uploading.

Bring back the good times we miss

Honestly. Bit tacky of this doco to term Les’s wife as ‘widow’. Why not just ‘wife’

100%. I’m only 57 so was very thing at the height of most of these but I live in the past. Today comics are so afraid to offend their comedy is often talking about one subject - themselves. And that’s an act that gets old very very quick.

I met him in Wolverhampton many years ago at the theatre bar. the matinee performance of a Pantomime. and just wanted to say how much I loved him as a comedian. i timidly touched him on the shoulder and said, ''Mr. Dawson? '' He turned and said, ''Do I owe you any money?''I said No.... and he replied, '' Do you want to borrow any money?'' I said no..''In that case, I AM the right honorable Les Dawson.''and asked if we were coming to the afternoons performance. '' Take my advice and don't ! I have no idea who I am supposed to be, and I make all my lines up in the afternoon anyway.. '' it was as if I was talking to an old friend. Well we did go of course, and he was superb... as usual.

One of the best comics every No swearing no sexist remarks No racist remarks just go old Fashion comedy Not like today’s comedians Sexist disgusting and racist Remarks The old comedy was a lot Funny than todays Crap

southern comedians try to be funny..Northern comedians ARE funny!

V G by B😢

Don't like evethat blonde she can't act her voice is sickly. Every one is praising him she seems to snidley pick holes like we were all actors and he sort of bended in or he thought he was thinner than he was les knew who hw was a genius

What a genius, he was often much quicker than his audience, show me someone as funny today, you can try but you'll fail.

If u ever on a downer just watch Les best upper ever

Absolutely 💯 brilliant. Along with the greats😊

My dad used to work at Lytham crematorium & knew les Dawson. Les used to come to the crematorium to visit his wife's grave . Whenever they saw each whilst driving they'd wind the window down & stick two fingers up at each other.

Dawson: the face that launched a thousand expats! With his piano playing, it wasn't just that every fifth or sixth note would be off key, but that the deliberate choice of ''wrong'' notes were perfectly crafted to garuntee a laugh. Genius.

Legendary Genius ,,,,,

Hmmm not quite Frankie Boyle

Apparently Hughie Green tied the Opportunity Knocks people into very unreasonable contracts.

My parents were born in collyhurst …My father was the youngest of 15 and they lived in a two up and two down,,, coal fire ..no hot water…and my mother came from a family of seven……. They were all immaculate …that all went out into the world and achieved great things…. Unbelievable..How things have changed…..

Ever associated with the great Les, it's a shame to hear of Mo Moreland's passing the other day. ❤

if only he had taken better care of himself

Les had so much skill and so much presence; he could just stand on the stage and, without saying a word, with just a look or a glance, make you laugh in anticipation. His performances on The Good Old Days are absolute classics!

Great character !

Dawson, Dodds, Manning, Freddie Starr, Cooper, Benny Hill, Milligan, and Sellers, you'll never see their likes again. We all now live in a PC world. Todays comics in the main, with the odd exception, are rubbish.

Met Les once in the Empire bar during pantomime season. I was a serving PC in Liverpool at the time in charge of the kids of serving officers from F division. I was in the bar and he came in dressed as Widow Twankey. Just the two of us. Ever stopped laughing for 30 minutes!😊 Anyway when he went back on stage he told the kids I was in charge of to get their heads down for the night as their chaperone was pissed in the bar!! Maybe one or two minor details might be wrong, I’m old now, but i will always be proud of that memory. A wonderful man.

Just makes you realise how much we have let go.

His face what a lovely fella Les was Hughie green showed up a few years ago in some UFO documents seems his military service was quite interesting

Love les dawson ❤♥😍

Thank you.
