Unlike many so-called comedians this guy was actually funny without being obnoxious. His comedy inspired the type of "over-educated" singing comedy that I do today as an old man. RIP Kelly Monteith a true original funny man.
I've been trying to remember this guy's name for years. Loved his show. Now I find he has died. Sad to be reminded who he is that way. RIP Kelly Monteith a very funny guy.
Went to see him at Bridlington spa one night very small audience felt a bit sorry for him but he gave it his all and everyone there thought it was great can’t remember the year must have been around 1984 ish RIP
Just heard that he has died but didn't recognise the name. After a quick TH-cam search I found this video .. oh yes, I remember him now. I did find his show funny, hard to believe it was 44 years ago RIP Mr Monteith
RIP Kelly. This show mentions the Queen mothers 80th birthday celebration so, seeing as she was born on August 4th 1900, this must mean that the 1979 date mentioned is wrong and this must be a recording of a repeat of the series a year later. Incidentally well done for having a working VCR of a long dead format. Philips dropped the N1700 around 1980 to start pushing their new V2000 format and machines on the public (the forgotten third format in the VHS v Betamax war). This 42 year old tape holds up pretty well considering its age.
Funny how you forget a name until they die. Used to love this guy as a kid. RIP Kelly
Great show really enjoyed it in the early 80’s
Used to love watching this as a kid. RIP Kelly Monteith
Loved this as a kid 👦🤙❣️
I remember roaring with laughter to this exact episode aged 12. Nice to see Von Klinkerhoffen and Captain Peacock.
Loved his humour. R.I.P. Kelly
Brilliant to see this show again.. Still funny.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I loved this as a kid - and It's Garry Shandling's Show, which is so inspired by it.
I used to look forward to this show so much back in the late 70`s. Thanks for all
the great memories Kelly.
Loved this guy....seen him live in Glasgow.

My first introduction as a British kid into American humour .
I loved this as a 16 year old. This guy came out of the blue on the BBC. Was very shortlived. I wonder what made the BBC decide to show it?
Probably the fact he’d made such a good impression on The Des O’Connor show.
Short lived? It lasted five years!
@@jatlarge6354 it seemed short lived. I only watched the first couple of years.
I remember watching this as a kid thinking it odd that he was American.
id love to see this repeated on tv again its the same shows over and over
Kelly Monteith RIP
seen an old Jay Leno bit today which made me think of Kelly.
First seen both of them in late 70s on Des O'Connor
Just heard that he has died but didn't recognise the name.

RIP Kelly Monteith 1942-2023😢
That link was from 1980 was when I was 20 and now looking at it with its clipped BBC diction, it looks like something from the 1950.
I think I remember this.
Some of the best double- and triple-talk I've ever heard: 26:00

Rip Kelly we loved you ❤️
I watch this with my dad
I remember people writing into Points of View complaining that we didn’t need an American on British telly. I thought he was pretty funny
Oh wow, just finished watching it. Some familiar faces...Gabrielle Drake, Frank Thornton, Victor Spinetti and Louis Mansi (from Allo Allo).
There's more programs on bbc then than there is now
BBC totally run out of ideas.
r.i.p Kelly
The good old days. First, the coffee: 15:10 Then the soup: 15:41
Loved this
R.I.P. Kelly
I was a huge fan of Gabrielle Drake's brother, Nick.
-Captain Peacock- Burton the banker's speech was worthy of Sir Humphrey.
R.i.p Kelly
Used to love this as a kid. Great work. Btw is Katharine Hepburn on a phone in that still?
I don't remember this guy being on BBC1, RIEP Kelly Monteith
funny guy..
Very lame comedy
First series good, second flopped.
Hardly - The show ran for six successful seasons up until 1984.
