When did he retire?

I remember watching him in my pj's on ABC with my parents in the 1970s. I can remember vividly. That pose, drink on the side, cigarette, strong stage lights and him perspiring, touching his forehead, skits and more. So many great tv shows then. Now, tv is shit and I don't watch it.

Imagine hearing and seeing a comedian these days, this funny and this well dressed? Allen was class and he was a class act.

Sir Eric Pearce had a really great Menzies look 👍

Does anyone know where more of this show is?

Where are the nude people??

I'm a racist

Thank you to the channel owner and all other channel owners who put these up for us to still thoroughly enjoy. Never dated. Always hilarious.

Cool. It’s a lot better than a lot of the stuff we get these days anyways. Proper drama between father and son underneath the comedy for starters. Crawfords should release the whole series.

Love it! JF was a good comedic actor! Now on to part 2!

love dave so handsome rip

years ahead of his time R.I.P

A comic genius

Roll around on the floor stuff. My late Dad and I absolutely adored him. What an adlibber par excellence. What a gentleman ❤. RIP Dave Allen.

And he’s right about booze

I love him❤️ he’s the best ever👍😂😂😂

Wow. I worked with their daughter Lauren in Japan. She is the spitting image of her mom.

Australian TV could be pretty cringe

Brilliant.

Anymore episodes

Gee they both look so much alike Bert and his Dear Mother if they werent seen together here i would swear Bert is Dressing up to look like her.

Who is he who ever he is he's dead

I absolutely loved watching his show, growing up and looking at it now I can remember the crush that I had on him!

Other parts please 😀

I love how he throws in the little digs at chanel 9. First part " it's been a while since he was on Australian TV, "live" anyway. And now the " argument while on the the commercial brake ". Referring the reason why they sacked him the last time. 😂

1977

Corruption in Melbourne at that time was ramped

Now 40 years later,Melbourne is an overpopulated shithole,full of junkies I was born and bred there,i had to get out its been ruined.

Legend❤

Wheres part 2?

Wow, not a Melbourne deal I’ve ever know I just know the one with the second most expensive in the world that is overcrowded where young people feel like there is no hope for the future in the wake of the entire countries population doubling at a very fast rate.

Hello, I'd like to know if you are the Phil Johnson who loves St.Kilda footy Club, his mum, 3AW, Derryn Hinch and the ABC. If you are I'd love to have a chat. Steve Hurley

Textiles, footware, automotive industry..........gone gone & gone😣

40 years later we now have a debt bigger than NSW, QLD & TAS combined......a few government big build progects, that will undoubtedly run way over budget, lack of affordable housing, energy costs continually rising........we didn't know how good we had it then🤣

Now 2023 Melbourne is akin to rats in a barrel.

thats nothing compared to what dan andrews did to the poor helpless victorians

reminds me of the documentary 'Utopia'

It’s may 2023 and looks like the chips are down again.. Victoria is $100 billion in debt

The name's Allen, Dave Allen

looking at them 80's cars being made in the factory and feeling like they're being restored instead because its the 2020's now..

That's better , I didn't think I was that old .

...it's almost like it's ALWAYS been a communist shit hole.

.....and what was the future for Melbourne??? Dan frickin Andrews!!!! ...........if I had a time machine I'd go back and kill myself.

Danny Ramsay & Cheryl Stark..l also noticed Peter O' Brien's name in the credits..he played Danny Ramsay's brother Shane, in Neighbours too.

Population of Red China? At least 2 Billion. Bloody Wombats!

Thanks for sharing this, pal.

A very young Sigrid Thornton is the star struck girl in blue at 1:16

love the plastic tarp set backdrop for jessie come home

I was 18 in 1981 , I don’t remember it to be this bleak

I was never keen on Eric or Bert. They were right wing and extremely self-centred. . And, as for Chanel Nine. It still exists and is still appalling.
