Any Dave Allen Fans About?

[ladybirder]

Two one hour programmes just started on BBC2.

[pixie374]

Thank you- I will find them. I used to love him when I was younger, if I'm thinking of the right person :-)

[tonyav]

This is he, pixie.

[pixie374]

That's him- thank you Tony :-) xx

[ladybirder]

I'm an Aiden Gillen fan as well so loving this.

[tonyav]

I liked him ( interesting character ) in Peaky Blinders, lb.

[ladybirder]

Yes Tony. Took me ages to put a name to the face.

[tonyav]

Yes he does look different to how he normally looks in Peaky Blinders, lb.

[jennyjoan]

yes I have them on record so when i retired for the night I can watch him from my beddy-byes - sista phoned me to let me know about him - I know my mother and father liked him but in those days I don't think there were subtitles so I could never follow him per se

[jennyjoan]

^^^ retire

I used to love his old shows as a kid in the 1970s.
I always wondered if the stuff in his glass was whiskey.
My Mum bought me a DVD of some of his shows a while ago, I've been saving it "for a rainy day". I think it's still in its cellophane wrapper!

Showing my age when I remember some of these sketches!

[chrissa1]

Loved him. I’ve seen this programme before though.

[jennyjoan]

That's the same as me Mal re box-sets - have a box set of M*A*S*H sitting for about a year and half - sista loved it - always thought the humour was brilliant but when it was shown years ago - never was subtitled - even now I think it is on True Entertainment and still not subtitled. Might get around to it some "sunny summer day". Whenever that will be

[Caran]

It's amazing how he looked like him at times.

I was tucked up with my knitting enjoying this wonderful man when I was interrupted by a Catholic priest.......Dave Allen and I have a lot in common.....
Part of this programme was on the radio last week.....bliss to listen to under the duvet....x

[gness]

What a beautiful man......and a gentleman.....x

[Baldric]

Second Programme Brilliant, What a Gentleman he was.

[davegosling]

I have a feeling I've seen these before, though great telly nonetheless.

[mallyh]

i always remember the sketch he did with the bottom half of a woman in victorian floozy dress and top half of a gentleman ,with the womans walk getting faster as if she is been followed lol.

[kvalidir]

He looks like my Dad, funny man but apparently contentious.
