For the sheer brilliance and ingenuity of his sketches there was NO-ONEbetter unless you think of Benny Hill. The one where he appears to saw his leg off to get a parking spot which he then misses out on is a touch of genius

Back in the day, Dave Allen was a communal experience. People would gather around the telly in homes and pubs to have a good laugh. He was a great storyteller.

It was about the same price here in the states too, for decades, but now its up to $4.00 per hour in some places here.

Why that was is a mystery It should have been the other way round.... I just checked and Dave himself requested that slot because he didn't want to change the format of the show to fit an earlier audience ... itv were not happy so dave left and went to the BBC... Where he got 10 mil viewers trumping the David Frost show on itv deliberately moved to go up against the D A show....
