      Is this the same Dave Allen whose show was played here in the US during that mass importation of British (and even Australian) shows of the late seventies and early eighties?
      “Dave Allen At Large” was the show.

      Other odd shows I watched during that period were “The Goodies”…remember that one?….. and “The Paul Hogan Show”….before he was Crocodile Dundee!

    Brother Jamal , you know who else does the same thing where he's talking to someone else but, you only hear his side of the conversation is the great BOB NEWHART (except he mainly uses a phone that isn't there , and his delivery is calmer) He's a genius and a legend and he'll make you spit out your drink for sure bro!✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏

    loved me some Dave Allen At Large! the shows got to us some years late, but we’d see his show on Saturday nights on WTTW in Chicago. there was the time block of shows starting at 10pm: Monty Python, Dave Allen and Doctor Who. such great times!

      Here in the NYC area, Channel 9 (a local, non network station) used to broadcast reruns of Benny Hill and Dave Allen at Large back-to-back. The local PBS station aired Monty Pythons. Luckily there were on different nights.

    This made me think of my parents' house that was like Pink Floyd's Time as they had a grandfather clock, a grandmother clock, a cuckoo clock and a Navy clock. If you think this is convoluted try explaining that 12 o'clock is 8 bells and 5 o'clock is 2 bells and 8 o'clock is 8 bells and 10 o'clock is 4 bells. Clue: it's to do with 4 hour shifts on a ship but fucking confusing for anyone not drilled in this since childhood who wakes up in the middle of the night to listen to the dcacophony of bells, chimes and cuckoos going nuts.

    And up till 1982 we only had BBC and ITV
    I’m afraid in todays woke snowflake world he would be part of cancel culture and would be labelled misogynistic

    There's just so many ways to look at an analog clock that don't make sense reading a digital one. Similar with the trouble of getting a kid to read/write/understand cursive when they've spent all their time with digital devices.

    As long as you are going done the English comedy rabbit hole (well Dave Allen is actually Irish), you should check out Jethro. Sadly, Jethro passed away in 2021, but he was hilarious. Jethro based his comedy on Cornwall - the southwestern most region of England. Cornwall has a unique culture, so some jokes might be difficult to understand. But Jethro was very good.

  • @breakall25

    Can remember teaching my son's, the oldest just took it for what it was just Dad making me learn something new. My youngest question after question. And he is like ok now he understands the concept but now approximately isn't good enough anymore! If he asks what time it is and you say oh it's quarter after 5, he will go to the kitchen look at clock on microwave and run back Dad it's only 5:12. Or if you say it's almost 6 he will look at like well don't you know how to read your watch it will tell you the time exactly, fine it's 10 minutes to 6. Well 10 minutes is along time you said it's almost 6, this the rabbit hole of explaining approximate time which he explains is stupid if you look at your watch why not say the exact time every time. And on and on such a huge difference between kids. They are older now but the youngest still has questions constantly. If he calls in the evening and says Dad I got a question well there goes a good portion of the evening. Oh and of course Dad knows everything and can fix anything so explaining you don't know the answer you will have to look into it he's like there is someone who knows something Dad doesn't he must be a genius. So much fun wouldn't trade raising my 2 son's for anything and to see them become truly Good Humans I take great pride in! Sorry so long winded but this brought back a lot of memories.😂

    He has the same type of humor Bill Cosby had. Watch Bill talk about chocolate cake for breakfast sometime...he's talking to people who aren't on the stage. Now, that being said, Dave Allen had a lot of sketch comedy during his shows besides his monologue and they could sometimes be very slightly risque', but still very funny.

    this is soooooo funny, just a moment ago I was talking to a friend of my about Language. Similar sounding word with different meaning, what made them invent a word with a Silent sounding letter and so on. One of the words we talk about was, Hole, Whole and Holy, Knows & Nose. Lick, Leak and Lake has got something do do with water. Another is about Anagram, words like, Live & Evil, God and Dog as in Dogma, Zeus & Suez.
