Little & Large Xmas special 1980. Extraordinary.

Thanks for that link. I feel all warm and furry now.

Moving that post into the other thread and am locking it. Way too many plugs for that guy's stuff and Patreon on here now, sorry.

What other thread? What was wrong with posting that link?

God it's just so annoying when people post links to entertaining, comedy-based content.

Well it seems a shame. I think anybody who's followed this thread will be pleased to read that - he's a great writer. I wasn't "plugging" anything, I don't have any connection to him.

Yeah, I understand.  However, and maybe I'm just being cynical, but this blog just seemed partly aimed at getting even more traffic out of CaB by appealing to a long-running, popular thread.  One issue I've had on here before is with posters like Jesse Thorn, who circumvent the "no self-promotion" rules by asking other people to post links on their behalf.  Not saying that's what's happening here, but I already felt a tad uncomfortable about the amount of promotion, and this Little and Large thing was enough for me.

All feels a bit too spammy for CaB, for my tastes, espcially with him posting in the other thread.

[Sonny_Jim]

I've been following both threads and enjoy his work, also he does post in other threads so it's not 100% spam.  Understand why you took that decision.

This Youtube clip has a roundup near the start of the next day's BBC1, including a bit from our boys which is an absolute clunker even by their standards.

Lovely Penelope Keith... btw, it's that time of year, so break out the mince pies and port and stick that L&L special on!

"How can any funny face, that seems to be commonplace..."

[Glebe]

What time's Christmas dinner?

[Indomitable Spirit]

A doubly topical sketch from our heroes here.

Worth sticking with until the very end as it spins wildly from a pretty conventional "what if .... was ..." sketch into a final shot that resembles a piece of queer collage art. Fascinating.

[TheGingerAlien]

Fascinating.

Wow

[Gurke and Hare]

"The red red grass of home." Fucking hell.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

I knew there was a Tankie - Savile connection and this proves it.

[Brundle-Fly]

It's reassuring to know that all those disused Savile hairpieces got repurposed for the mimicking of Johnson and Trump.

[Twonty Gostelow]

"The red red grass of home." Fucking hell.

And that was supposed to be the topper! The two other puns were funnier.
Quite a good impression vocally though, but the hair's badly wrong.

[Twonty Gostelow]

Mrs Large's POV in bed on a moonlit night when she's accidentally left a gap in the curtains.

[Glebe]

That was Syd & Eddie's 'alternative comedy' phase.

Any word on Syd? Anyone been to his restaurant or owt?

Ah no, forgot about that - was meaning to make a pilgrimage there, possibly via Carolgees' Candles

[Glebe]

possibly via Carolgees' Candles

Bliss.

If there was a channel that just repeated exactly what was on 40 years ago, I'd most probably watch it the most out of all the myriad of channels available now.

dead, nonce, nonce, dead, dementia, dead, fuckin ell still alive, etc

it'd be exactly the same as the first time you watched a Dad's Army repeat

[Gurke and Hare]

Dad's Army's remarkably nonce-free for the era, isn't it? I can't think of any of the main cast with allegations against them.

Old comedians seem to have pretty much escaped unscathed from nonce allegations.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

Not that it matters to how bad the noncing is, but if Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier were named I'd have been a bit down for a few days. Arthur Lowe was the voice of the Mr Men and I want to believe Le Mesurier's nice guy rep.

Saying that I hope Clive Dunn gets blood libelled (void if Dunn was actually Jewish and replace with "accused of being Clive Dunn")

edit:

Dunn was a supporter of the Labour Party. He claimed his outspoken socialist beliefs often caused conflict with his Dad's Army co-star, Arthur Lowe, who was a staunch conservative. As a schoolboy, he and his classmates briefly joined the British Union of Fascists, but Dunn left the party once he learned of its anti-Semitic ideology.

go to hell Arthur, long live Comrade Dunn

You stupid boy.

[kalowski]

Don't tell him, Video Game Fan 2000.

[Twonty Gostelow]

I do have a vague memory of a weird man introducing Dunn sitting in a rocking chair surrounded by young girls.

[Sonny_Jim]

Ban this sick filth.

[Twonty Gostelow]

Ban this sick filth.

Yes, but this is the one where the weird man in a vest hasn't been edited out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWj90ITxNDs.

[Brundle-Fly]

I like the way Dunn quietly lets off an eggy fart at the 2:25 mark.
