      If like me you remember Dave Allen fondly, watched him as a kid with my mum and brother, not afraid to extract the urine from anything, there are a couple of his BBC programmes on iPlayer. Still bloody brilliant.

      Live on life. 

      The Immaculate Selection.

        He was a great laugh – served him flowers for many years – loved his sunflowers!! Very pleasant, no airs or graces, would just stop by and chat, he was as irreverent in general conversation as he was on his shows, we had a good few chuckles over the years. Was very sad when he passed – one of life’s good guys.

            Always tilting at the windmills of establishment, church and politics. A very funny man, his dry humour and sketches often had me in tears of laughter. Great link Nolan, thanks.

            I'm out.

              Unlike a lot of comedy most of what he did is still relevant. I guess because the behaviour of his targets hasn’t changed, like Yes Minister they’re still up to the same things.

                Unlike today’s comedians he used language subtly and constructively. He did not f&blind as just filler words. It meant that you could sit down and watch him with the kids without feeling that you have to tell the kids not to copy his/her speech form.
