I also liked Mike Burton with his surreal style of humour and Eddie Flanagan, so relaxed it looked like he'd forgotten why he was there in between his jokes. Mix in the excellent aforememtioned Charlie Wiiliams, and Ken Goodwin etc how could it not be a great show!

    I'm sorry you feel that way, because I remember the seventies very well, and I don't remember everything being rubbish at all. In fact, I think on the whole it was far superior to the time we live in now. Better TV, better music, better football, better movies...and a lot less government intrusiveness and surveillance than we have to put up with now. Give me the seventies every time...

Also, these comedians were veterans of the working men's clubs, which was a tough training ground, and they had to tailor their comedy to their style of clubs.

    Wow a very young Mike Reid (aka Frank Butcher from Eastenders) and Frank Carson (from Tiswas). Brought up with these jokes. A lot of these comedians had completely different jokes when they played in the clubs or broadcast after the watershed!

    Luckily, I was born in '65. I was forced to watch these constantly rehashed old jokes when my parents had control of the TV while I was growing up. Then the 80s came along with the possibility of seeing alternative comedians like Alexi Sayle on a portable in the bedroom. Perfect timing for me. The comedy world was blown wide open , and we never looked back

      'alternative' wasn't comedy, it was dumbed down slapstick and relied on profanity, just like today.
      Sure, these jokes are crappy, and in fairness, they never hardly made me laugh, but alternative simply appealed to the lowest of brows. Simple baby comedy, like the young ones, with stupid slapstick and toilet humour (and not even good toilet humour)
      Comedy never recovered after that.

      I too was born in 65. Whilst I don't think this programme has aged well, it must be remembered there was zero tolerance of foul language, or of "adult subjects" on TV in the 70s.
      The world we lived in then has gone forever, as through the ensuing decades, foul language and "adult themed" subjects became mainstream humour.
      Today of course it's fascinating to think we can say THE most foul language, about depraved $e×ual acts on TV without a care, but "The Vicar of Dibley" and "Only Fools and Horses" have warnings about possible offensive content!!

    @westchesterfarmer4439 4 года назад +17

    Remember watching this show back in the 1970s. Even then, I found some jokes were better than others, some comedians were better than others, some episodes were better than others. While some 'politically minded' characters are quick to knock this show, as hostile to their values or views, its worth remembering this was afternoon television, on a Saturday? The comedians were here to entertain a family audience, comprising every age. Many had a quite different act for adult audiences, and many had survived a long career in working mans clubs etc. Whether you like their humour or not, the vast majority of decent, civilised human beings will be most concerned at those that seek to curb other peoples sense of humour, because they know it won't stop there.

      I understand what you are meaning, but you must understand it was a time when you couldn't say things on TV as you could do on stage. But today the humour are most based upon swearings and lavatory humour than these comedians did on The Comedians.

    There was a paperback that came out around same time. I remember studying it assiduously as a schoolgirl and 1970s the comedians had so much personality. Alot of fun There was a music hall vibe holding British comedy lost since the 1980s. But judging by The Sketch Show 2003, British comedy has not suffered despite the predations of the EU experiment.
