    This was so groundbreaking back then........ You really NEED to look back to the 70's Irish history to understand the political situation, bombs going off left right and centre, people getting killed almost daily, then this guy shows up and rips the piss out of what the "troubles" were all about, religion, bigotry and all that it brought with it.

    Dave Allen was raised as an Irish Catholic who realised that he had certain issues with what he was being taught. Later in life, he transferred his experiences into comedy.
    You said he had no reverence to God, but at the end of every show, he said, "may your God go with you." ✌️

      I’m Australian and have always known that he was Irish. And I grew up,watching him with my darling dad as a teenager in the 70’s and was always fascinated by his half missing index finger. But British and an Irish humour is just the best and we were raised listening to the Goons in the car with our dad. My absolute love for your comedy has been passed to my son who has a massive collection and also adores it. So whether British or Irish, you guys are the best (and Aussies aren’t too shabby either).

    Girls, your laughter is so infectious, welcome to my world. Dave Allen was a great favourite of mine and my lovely late dad's many decades ago, we would howl laughing at his sketches, his jokes his sense of humour was ours to a tee. We always settled down to watch the show together. I broke my heart when he died on my youngest son's 17th birthday, 10th March 2005, he went to his maker with a cigarette in one hand and a whisky in the other to join my dad and all our Irish relatives and his too. May his God Go With Him. God's Own Comedian he was known as, Dave Allen: God's Own Comedian, rather fitting end for this comedy genious would'nt you say? Plenty more episodes to see on her that he did and documentary on his life too.

    I know Dave's Irish accent may be hard for you to pick up on sometimes, but I think you would have been better not reading the captions - which a lot of the time were wrong. Better to just try to work out what he said on hearing alone.

    Unfortunately that translator is really bad.
    But god bless you all for checking out Dave Allen. Adored this man as a kid

    Dave Allen was Irish. It's not british comedy. Do you even know what you are talking about?
