Rinrada Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The "Worker" with ...ello my daling....wee Charlie Drake needs a spot. Last time I saw him was on a BBC thingy where he was the old sex tourist who went out to the Phillippines with a bunch of guys from South Wales on a tak-a- way bride holiday week. The old whoremaster /owner of the agency was Greengrass from that Yorkshire show where they play the 60s music.(heartbeat..remembered) Unlike the newbies in "Sunshine Girls" he knew the score and as soon as they arrived in Manila he was off with a couple of numshies out on the razzle while the others went through the marriage rigmarol...Over 50s ..very popular they are....I dont know....whyyyyyyyyy. Sexton ends up getting off with "Rosie from the Bar" marrying her and opening up their own agency in Cardiff...sounds familar........final words.....you have tried the rest ...now try the Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Soupy Sales Show' only broadcast on local LA tv at 3 pm on a school day...meant to be for school kids but when you got humor like 'I doan' like apple pie but my wife sure can make my banana cream' you gets the message...he had puppets like white fang and black tooth and pookie an' nookie...then soupy holds out 5 fingers and says 'one for white fang...et all' with the middle finger remaining ans sez 'an' this one for the sponsor...'... absolutely brilliant... Soupy Sales...an American icon...prepared the way for massive LSD consumption and a whole new way ob lookin' at the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) I'm curious to know from any of you Brits if you've checked out this link by the BBC. I think the number of comedy programmes each year back in the 50's and 60's is rather astounding. How many of these were actual hits and became popular? Well, I guess during those decades the U.S. had just as many westerns. Good God, there were more of those than I could name.

Tippaporn Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 missed out SOAP..one of the funniest shows ever to come out of seppo land. I quit watching TV in '78. So anything since then I'm clueless about. I've heard many of the names but don't no nothin' about 'em. Lots of people talked about Soap, though. BTW, where's 'seppo land?' Is that like . . . east southeast of Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordofdelusion Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I must throw in another vote for The Family Guy. Funniest thing on U.S. TV now. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the only news worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmac Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Has anyone over here managed to get to see Ricky Gervais' last show "Extras"? I think it is funnier than "The Office". Well worth picking up a copy of the DVD's when next back in the UK folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
