John Bluthal was such a brilliant foil to Milligan's madness in everything they did together. His role in holding this brilliant but often erratic comedy all together should not be underestimated. Looking at Milligan's work at the time could be a bit hit and miss with not everything working. It is good to see the best stuff still surviving and this one is hilarious. I notice a lot of the work that has survived seems to have Bluthal in it.
Absolutely! John Bluthal is still working and stealing scenes. He played Herbert Marcuse in the Coen Brothers film “Hail, Caesar!”, and was not at all outshone by the stellar Hollywood cast (George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Josh Brolin et al). His best comedy work was with Milligan, but let’s not forget Frank in The Vicar of Dibley. A brilliant actor, end of!
Gotta love a Jewish Tailor joke. Two Jewish tailors were chatting. "So, you've been on holiday, then?" says one. "Yes," says the other. "I've been to Rome." "Do anything interesting?" asks the first. "Yes," says the second. "I met the Pope." "You met the Pope?!" says the first. "What's he like?" "Twenty nine leg, slight drop right shoulder."
Python produced so much material and so many films. I agree that some of their skits weren't that funny. But many were very funny. But you cant deny their films. I think the python's far exceeded what SPike did; But Spike certainly started the ball rolling and is very funny indeed.
4:04 John Bluthal says 'orthanologist' for 'ornithologist'. It might well have been intentional, but something makes me suspect a mistake... Anyway, a brilliant performance, as always.
Seriously??? Amazed you bothered watching. Whose a clever boy then. Good grief. Laughter anybody???? Probably didnt even get the teen joke busy being a smart arse. Or should I say turn
I'm shocked that RUclips has allowed this disgraceful clip to be uploaded. You can clearly hear said out loud that most offensive of terms "traffic warden".
John Bluthal also did a marvellous impression of Huw Wheldon, who produced and presented arts and other documentaries and became a BBC controller. Bluthal captured the slow, pretentious voice and movements. Despite that, Huw Wheldon produced excellent programmes, far better than the woke, even more pretentious but empty Scheiss of the BBC today.

So true
Absolutely hilarious. John Bluthel and Spike are just brilliant.
John Bluthal was a brilliant Hughie Green. The voice was great and the insincerity was spot on!
John was brilliant all round.

@@trevorkeyes1639 And you mean that most sincerely
Superb!
John Bluthal...the greatest support actor in anything Spike Milligan ever did,

FANTASTIC there is nothing as FUNNY on TV Today.
My kind of humour. 😂😂🙂
Brilliant impression

And for Americans, a highly simplified version of this sketch - with subtitles and explanantions - will appear later.
I love the way he's p!ssing away a huge budget. Class
Absolutely brilliant stuff.
I notice though that RUclips has begun to censor the auto-generated subtitles! In this video, at 3:00.
A great Huge Greeny, and I mean that folks, I really do.

Spike was king never liked python pretentious, spike was down to earth,well he is now love you spike you was the man
Put down the bottle.

Hughie Green was apparently Paula Yates mother. It’s so weird. When she found out she went quite mad.
Hughie Green proving that men CAN have babies, hey?!!
The woke cretins of today are onto something then…
“And I mean that most sincerely folks!”
Huh??
I would go mad if I found out Hughie was my mother 😂😂
Youth of today would know the meaning of "John Thomas".
You call that a lining!
The clapometer
A one off
Black face and throttling a pensioner. I can't see that working out on Xfactor.

Some of his sketches didn't make sense, I guess that's why they were so funny
Watch something else. You dont get it. Its meant to be bizarre. Thats the joke
His take off of an indian is a direct plot, because he was born in india, and live there for many years.

I didn’t realise how naughty this is I wouldn’t have shared if 8 had known 🧐
vic reeves copied spike slavishly
And Spike watched the Big Night Out series and said he thought it was the funniest thing on tv.
