You are and were my favourite comedian of the 1980s . I was only five or six when I first remember watching the show on ITV. Ty for the laughs 😌ohhh I could crush a grape. Rock on Tommy.
Bobby died a Christian. They didn't talk to each other for years after a fall out they had. Bobby said he sat down with a Pastor one day and though Bobby said he had what he called a very serious conversation with the pastor as Bobby was an Atheist and admitted he never prayed in his life. Anyway Bobby said he was struck by the meeting he had and with the Pastors calmness and it affected him deeply, he went back to the Pastor and he said it was a very life changing experience, he said it was instant and he prayed with the Pastor. Bobby remained a Christian and it made him get back in contact with Tommy Cannon and they reconciled their friendship. Through that reconciliation Tommy himself became a Christian and both he and Bobby got very involved in Christian talks and meetings etc. So Bobby please God is at rest in Heaven and I'm sure now he'll be waiting for his great pal Tommy to be reconciled once again forever. So it's amazing where one chance meeting with a pastor made Bobby and Tommy besties again. It would have been unimaginable if both had gone to their graves enemies .
This shows how good Bobby was. Usually Rik overtook everyone in a scene, but Bobby more than held his own. Not a strange pairing. Both had a similar energy.
@@ClassicWorld19 There was a mutual respect between Cannon and Ball and Rik. Also Chubby Brown paid tribute to Rik when he died calling him a fantastic comic talent
I met Bobby Ball once at Pendlebury Evangelical church. He was giving his testimony of when he became a Christian and he signed a copy of his book for me.
1980s talent and entertainment. TV nostalgia. Beautiful guys and ladies all of them. Tom, Bobby and Rik. Legends. Little and Large, Jeremy Beadle. TV was full of spirit.
"still rocking on Tommy"..with your legendary shows..top notch..nothing like this these days..rest in peace..Bobby..never forgotten..kid of the 80s... :-)
Absolutely Fucking Brilliant and Hilarious. Brings Back Sooooo Many Memories of my Childhood and growing up, watching Not only Cannon & Ball, but also the late & Great Rik Mayall and the rest of the guys in The Young Ones too :)
You made me laugh then you have made me cry,laugh,cry,laugh over this morning thinking of the great tv we had in this country with 4 channels(C4 came in 83 ). You have this morning made think of my dearest mother who would sit there in her chair tears streaming down her face gasping for breath. I spent a lot of time with me mum as I was brought up by her when my father passed away in 69. I was 4 at the time and we would spend many a happy time watching shows like this. Her absolute favourites were morecambe and wise,she once said that these two C&B were as good as M&W,that was praise indeed from her. God I miss her terribly she passed away in 86 after a hard life. These remind me of her so much. Thank you for the tears,laughter and great memories mr Ball. Deepest condolences to your family and Tommy his partner. Goodnight god bless sleep tight and get a show going in heaven
Fantastic show. A real pleasure to have met you bobby. You & tommy should have been knighted for your talent to showbiz. A pleasure to have called you a friend. Rest in peace sir.
Huge sadness to hear of Bobby's passing, but what a great legacy of laughter and joy to remember him by! Condolences to Tommy and his family. God bless 🌹 xxx
How delighted I was to learn that yesterday when he passed away. I’ll meet him one day, guaranteed! Also found out that Tommy is ‘saved’ as well, so we can enjoy the Cannon & Ball show for eternity as well. 😇
RIP,Ya little legend,i wonder if we will have a re-run of the Cannon & Ball shows from the mid 80s,hilarious anyone reading this,please youtube Cannon and Ball old macdonalds farm sketch,absolutely BRILLIANT.
19.00 love the 80s adverts. Flake Bran Flakes. Remington. Lucozade (iron maiden phantom of the opera) So unforgettable. Renault 11 in London.. a snapshot
I remember first seeing this advert when I was young. I'd never heard Iron Maiden before and song got me hooked....... And 40 years later I'm still a fan
What an astonishingly, almost random selection of material and guests lol Material by Sid Green, half of the Sid and Dick team who wrote the original Morecambe and Wise material. Some of this was recycled. I am sure I recognise the ballroom dancing sketch. And Rik Mayall? Why not. lol And Geoff Atkinson wrote the famed Hitler sitcom "Heil Honey! I'm Home!" What could possibly go wrong? RIP Bobby - Rock on.
Oh wow, that Flake ad - you know it's 2020 and still to this day sometimes I'll randomly break out into a rendition of that rock-power-ballad version of the cadbury flake song - but I don't think I've actually heard the original source since the 80s - until now.
A 40 minute programme with only a 2 minute ad break? What strangeness is this??? Nowadays there would have to be at least three 7 minute long ad breaks leaving only 19 minutes of actual content! TV is shit now...
Bobby Ball and Rik Mayall riffing off each other! Bobby completely got Rik’s humour - tremendous sketch!
They were brilliant and still make us laugh out loud even now, I'm glad RUclips keeps the memories alive like this.
Rest in peace bobby and Rik❤️

🎵 “And your hearttttt… will flyyyy… awayyyy”. 🎶 Just lovely - happier times. 😊
Whatever happened to Saturday nights😔 love to them both💖
The scene with Rik Mayall.....BLOODY HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love you Bobby! A place in the hearts of many of us 80’s kids. Sleep well xxxx

RIP Bobby. Thanks for the laughs through my childhood x
They were happier days
Yes, there was very much an innocence about them, even in the ads.
Love this show ,brings back memories of my childhood,mr mayall and mr ball were so funny,r.I.p both of them ,such a sad loss 😢
Proper entertainment with proper entertainers. Forgot just how funny these guys were and with the legend that is Rik Mayall. Thanks for the laughs.
This Rik Mayall interaction is the most surreal thing I've ever seen.
So, all good.
R.I.P Bobby. Another legend gone. You left us with memories of a wonderfully funny human being! Rock On!
Did we ever know what we had? So much joy from watching this. R.I.P. Bobby
R.I.P Bobby Ball A beautiful Soul. So sad to hear of your passing. Bless you.
Almost as if the stars align, he makes a Sean Connery reference in the opening bit.
@@Phil_KaneONite_Wood And R.I.P Rik Mayall
For those who are looking for Rik Mayall, It's 28:59
That glint in his eyes - just a funny, happy decent human being.
RIP Bobby.
Still watch these ever day. This is when I was the happiness in my life.
RIP Bobby well miss you thanks for All the happy year you gave us.

Agree!
@@ClassicWorld19 There was a mutual respect between Cannon and Ball and Rik. Also Chubby Brown paid tribute to Rik when he died calling him a fantastic comic talent
I lived through 1984 and I'm relatively sane.
Both Rik and Bobby Ball both in heaven now having a good laugh together
Just as long as Jesus Christ doesn't try to steal any of Rik's limelight.
@@liborsionko THE Rik Mayall
I remember the adverts like they were yesterday.
I really want a Renault 11 now
RIP Bobby Ball 1944-2020
RIP Bobby, you'll do for me lad, you'll do for me.👍

Even as a child I recognised that naughty glint in his eyes. Happy memories, thank you Bobby. RIP

Rik Mayall absolute legend and never seen this before. David Thewlis Bran Flakes and Iron Maiden in their short but legendary Di’Anno era whoah yeah 👍
Can you imagine when Ric got the call from his agent, I've got you a job it's on the canon and ball show. R.I.P the pair of um
Agree. Very different genres and worlds apart at the time.
Rik asked to be in it. He respected Bobby in particular and his act was influenced by him.
Absolutely Fucking Brilliant and Hilarious. Brings Back Sooooo Many Memories of my Childhood and growing up, watching Not only Cannon & Ball, but also the late & Great Rik Mayall and the rest of the guys in The Young Ones too :)
@Arc Light FUCK YOU!!!!! Don't Like it, Tough Shit!!!!!
Rock on Bobby! Somewhere up there there's an angel with red braces !
One of the 1st shows recall & yet another legend passed on. Bless Bobby..

Fantastic show. A real pleasure to have met you bobby. You & tommy should have been knighted for your talent to showbiz. A pleasure to have called you a friend. Rest in peace sir.
Laughing and crying .. Loved them RIP Bobby
Feel happy to see this, feel sad also. Brings back lovely memories. Loved this show! RIP funny guy, you made people laugh. Thank you.

Xxx R.I.P. BOBBY BALL xxX COMEDY LEGEND Xxx
Rik?
Rik is obviously streets above them but the slapstick with Bobby works. They could have possibly developed something together.
Can’t you see the influence of style on Rik Mayall from Bobby Ball ?
Cannon and ball are the best.x
JUIST HEAR BOBBY HAS PASSED AWAY RIP
Huge sadness to hear of Bobby's passing, but what a great legacy of laughter and joy to remember him by! Condolences to Tommy and his family. God bless 🌹 xxx
I grew up with these guys on the TV 😂 RIP Bobby , you'll always be a legend!
Two legends sadly missed. Bobby and Rick. ☹
We will miss Bobby but thankfully he is born again so he is sorted for eternity. Are you?
How delighted I was to learn that yesterday when he passed away. I’ll meet him one day, guaranteed!
Also found out that Tommy is ‘saved’ as well, so we can enjoy the Cannon & Ball show for eternity as well. 😇
Bobby ball one of a few British icons now then Tommy what can you do without him? "rock on Tommy" Rip Bobby you are already missed.

This is the passing over of the comedy baton on British TV. Brilliant.
Those adverts... wow 👍🏻🤣
"Tasty, tasty, very very tasty. (They're very tasty).
R I P Bobby you made me laugh so many times and im sure many others ,thoughts are with his family and Tommys family
Rock on tommy loved these boys 😂😂😂my sense of humour
MAYALL, CANNON AND BALL? THE NEW THREE STOOGES!
Absolutely fantastic, Rik is the best comedian ever!!
The adverts are the most 1980's adverts from the 1980's.
Oh the flake girl!
Rip Bobby sure will miss you you made my childhood such 4 and laughter 👍👍👍👍
I loved the lucozade advert music well before being an Iron Maiden fan. That tune was the one that captured me.
Ah the Daley Thompson Lucozade advert. That got me into Iron Maiden!
I remember first seeing this advert when I was young. I'd never heard Iron Maiden before and song got me hooked....... And 40 years later I'm still a fan
@@mikeowen7526 yep, same for me Mike.
They are still brilliant live in 2017
Rip bobby ball ❤❤❤
I hope Network releases series 8 and 9 of Cannon and Ball.
Thanks for posting, great memories RIP Bobby Ball.
Still brilliant 2019
RIP Bobby
three great comedians
JUIST HEAR BOBBY HAS PASSED AWAY RIP
The best thing about this was the old adverts. Renault 11 and on a B Reg. So this must be around 1985!!!
kernowarty around 85 😂😂 the title says 84
Tru dat!
Love these guys
Fancy Bobby mentioning Sean Connery in the same week that both of them died.
I thought the same!
Superrrb Awesome Fantastic show😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What could possibly go wrong? RIP Bobby - Rock on.
r.i.p. Bobby ball
Rock on tommy.
RIP Rick and Bobby
Are we sure this ‘84?
I remember all the ads perfectly but I’d of only been 4! Lol
Bobby was only 5'3 I think and his wife is just about 6 ft and I'm only 5'1!
awesome
Rip Bobby
ITV's answer to Little and Large.

Oooooooonly the cruuuuuumbliest flaaaaakiest chocolaaaaaatttte.....!!!!!!!!
Yeh I always fancied that bird on the boat. I bet she is a right old banger now 😂
26:50 wait till 2020 mate... we’ve hundreds!
Rik looks scrummy! RIP Rik and Bobby
Sad loss bobby ball
21:11 bit of an aggressive manoeuvre there, tanking along the slip road! No wonder there aren't many Renault 11's left, must have all been written off
A 40 minute programme with only a 2 minute ad break? What strangeness is this??? Nowadays there would have to be at least three 7 minute long ad breaks leaving only 19 minutes of actual content! TV is shit now...
Rik at 28:59
With ads too cool
David Thewlis in the Bran Flakes advert?!
Yeah, this was his first paid gig as an actor.
I had the DVD of this.
no dvd's in 84.
Christopher Drennan i had all the series on dvd all 7 series you can pick them up cheap on Amazon
Robert Wainwright when's series 8 and 9 out on DVD?
The wrapper on that flake would never get past health and safety nowadays.
They should come out of retirement, do new show
😂😂
allways so funny
I clicked on the video expecting a short clip with Rik Mayall, not the whole episode. If you only want to watch Rik 28:50 and it will start at 28:54.
