I used to watch Dave Allen in the 70's, 80's, 90's and it's 2024 now and thank goodness for TH-cam I've found him again. I'm 79 now and he was the best and is still the best. Thank you lad for all the hours of pleasure you have given me and millions of others.
To the genius who created this channel: Thank You! I watched Allen as a kid late at night his show was played as reruns here in the states. I absolutely loved his take on what we call life so here I am fifty years later STILL laughing thank you Dave Allen for your legacy it is a valuable gift in fact priceless.😂🥰😊
Wow! We used to watch this show in 1980, just before the Benny Hill show; always enjoyed Dave's jokes & sketches, Thanks So much for bringing them back!
Same here...lol...it came on at 2am if I remember right...lived in middle tennessee...rural...no satelite tv yet...no cable...5 channels was it....this was a blessing lol...
Don’t think we EVER watched Dave Allen when I was young as he was considered anti catholic ( my family were catholics ) and too ‘sexy’ but coming to watch his programmes later in life, he is just SO funny and I LOVE the ‘ anti catholic ‘ jokes, though I still am one !!!
If you're American it's always the same thing. "I remember him, he came right on after Benny Hill". They absoluely owned the airwaves between 11PM to midnight in the late 70's early 80's.
Dave Alan's comedy is based on his ability to observe people's behaviour around him.. improving with age.. the 90s episodes are absolutely hilarious RIP Dave..
A 8:13 Dave mentions the year of 2020. How right he was about man wanting more and more. And it is happening now in the year of 2022 when man is stil not satisfied what he has.
gosh, don't you hate the way the announcer comes in during the credits (during a rebroadcast of this show on tv many years / decades later ) - that defo didn't happen back in '71, it's a 'modern' thing. takes away from the magic of the show. i had to pause it when your wuns voice kicked in. dave allen is the best. loved him back in the 70's, wonderful to see all these again. thanks so much for uploading!
8:00 Dave predicts that the year 2020 will see great prosperity and huge benefits for workers. Actual 2020: a global pandemic, and Amazon workers pissing in bottles to make quota.
+Andrew Radakovitz u took the words out of my mouth i swear, did u notice that he put his middle finger up when he started talking about fishing I miss this guy he was something else he really was special
Thank you so much for this channel and the uploads! I remember Dave Allen on Dutch tv a looong time ago. My parents didn't watch it because they just couldn't understand it even though it was subtitled. I'm glad I rose above my upbringing and (even after all these years) love to watch him. His sense of humour is still timeless. A great storyteller, a great comedian. And looking good as well. Those sparkles in his eyes, he just could get away with almost anyting. And he did! 😎
I think it goes like this: The woman knows her husband is lying because the fishmonger charged them with three of the six fish the man claims have captured.
Dave Allen, like his contemporary, Benny Hill, collected and retold the jokes that had done the rounds on vaudeville and music hall for many years. Unlike Benny Hill, this man tried to be 'alternative' and 'counter-cultural' too. Well, he was on the BBC, after all!
Dunno why here in Australia we swapped over to that plastic American crap such as Seinfeld. (Hogan's Hero's and MASH excluded), instead of staying with anything outa the BBC. Show's such as Dave, Benny Hill, The Goodies, Ain't Half Hot Mum, The Two Ronnie's, heck, I could go on. But all those early 90's American so called "comedies" just dumbed the genre down. Friends, Seinfeld, later on, absolutely not funny shows such as The Big Bang Theory. All of those were just comedies for the very simple minded. IMO, British comedy was much more sophisticated.
6:57 in! Check out that kids slide! These days all kids get is some stupid plastic thing that's only three feet off the ground & No kids using it. It's no wonder they'd rather play on a computer & get fat.
Indisputable leader. He was clues man. Now we implement magna carta. As we were not duped but blaspemed. He does all with fun laughter and sure footed Ness. Right you are. Pain was main weapon so return derision with happy and free. Why in one life would you stop temptation as they stole everything. Allen says be you as God delights being bigger more varied unpoped and a regular guy with sex pure no detail missed. Gone realised. He knows enemies are to be ended. Nazis must go. He has hidden messages why not destroy misery misery makes and gold diamond dead. Or die forever well done Dave we go in tonight. Life

If you're American it's always the same thing. "I remember him, he came right on after Benny Hill". They absoluely owned the airwaves between 11PM to midnight in the late 70's early 80's.
yep
Most TV stations switched off at midnight in Australia in the 60's and 70's.
Dave Alan's comedy is based on his ability to observe people's behaviour around him.. improving with age.. the 90s episodes are absolutely hilarious RIP Dave..
ditto, who needs a psychiatrist 🤪
He reminds me of my youth mum and dad used to let me stay up and watch him
A 8:13 Dave mentions the year of 2020. How right he was about man wanting more and more. And it is happening now in the year of 2022 when man is stil not satisfied what he has.
I'm watching this in August 2024.

especially with that northern accent
Thank you for the God go with you.
He says: "your God go with you", he was an atheist.
Ah....the Irish sence of humor....I 😄😁😆😅🤣☺
8:00 Dave predicts that the year 2020 will see great prosperity and huge benefits for workers. Actual 2020: a global pandemic, and Amazon workers pissing in bottles to make quota.
David has a beautiful smile and he is very cleaver also he speaks perfect.
Kind of funny when at the 8 minute ark he talks about "imagine it's 2020" and here I am watching this in 2024....
Me too. 🤣😂
It's almost 2020......
+Andrew Radakovitz u took the words out of my mouth i swear, did u notice that he put his middle finger up when he started talking about fishing I miss this guy he was something else he really was special

Thank you so much for this channel and the uploads! I remember Dave Allen on Dutch tv a looong time ago.

That's what I hate about parlors and their clocks.
By the time you took off your clothes, the hour already had passed.
LOL
Wished I had a granny like that.
"50 years time, in the year 2020" 50 years is going to go by pretty fast
The older you get the quicker time flys.

For anyone wondering about the reference to Rolls Royce, the company was in financial trouble and went into receivership the year the show was made.
fucking brilliant all round comedian thanks
Naughty. No bad language- thank you
2020 not was Like he imagine😢
In the year 2020, that was two years ago!
Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 John

Happy memories
Addictive stuff!
His a top bloke 😊 sadly mist ❤ r.i.p❤❤❤
joke about 2020 heard in 2024
GREAT.
Good always.
it s 2020 now...
So funny!
The joke about the year 2020 is interesting .... 8:55
Eire had Dave Allen / Scots The Big Yin Connelly / Eng. Les Dawson
RTE banned Dave Allen. People on the East coast of Ireland could pick him up on the BBC.
Australia Paul Hogan
The scene around 37:40 looks like an eerie prophevy
First time I saw this was on PBS in Florida, in 1985, when I moved there from Eastern Europe. Still in USA, still think this was pite genius.
@17.31, what did St Peter say to the Irish man?
Dave was born in firhouse dublin ireland
@33.19, did he say "i killed my fore?" What does that mean?
Good!
Can someone tell me the name of the sandy haired guy with the moustache who was always in those Dave Allen sketches ? He's the cowboy at 18.42.
Is this the man?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sharvell-Martin
Yes, that's him, thank you kindly. I didn't know he'd passed on 2010.
You're welcome. Too many gone. Too many from my youth, anyway!
17:08 can some one explain? I can't get it
the implication being only one guy from Ireland got to heaven -
The Irish Benny Hill or Benny Hill was the Protestant Dave Allen
Can someone explain the one armed fish joke.
It's at 9:00
he's trying to describe how big the fish is, and he can't.
No the one before that. The one where the wife asks about the no of fishes.
I think it goes like this: The woman knows her husband is lying because the fishmonger charged them with three of the six fish the man claims have captured.
because he's only got one arm!
🤣😅😅😅
2:41 lol)
Ĺìght classical
Lìght classis
However, in the year 2022....
Dave Allen, like his contemporary, Benny Hill, collected and retold the jokes that had done the rounds on vaudeville and music hall for many years. Unlike Benny Hill, this man tried to be 'alternative' and 'counter-cultural' too. Well, he was on the BBC, after all!
That's it; there's only so many jokes in the world, and throughout his tv career, and interviews, he retold many.
He wasn't that far off with the £375pw. Maybe a few years late. But not a bad prediction.
Dunno why here in Australia we swapped over to that plastic American crap such as Seinfeld. (Hogan's Hero's and MASH excluded), instead of staying with anything outa the BBC. Show's such as Dave, Benny Hill, The Goodies, Ain't Half Hot Mum, The Two Ronnie's, heck, I could go on.

when tv was worth watching .no swearing just pure laughs and good jokes and sketches . todays so called comics could learn a lot from Dave Allen
Dave swore in his later stuff and it was still funny.
hate the ADS
that Japanese torture was weird
6:57 in! Check out that kids slide! These days all kids get is some stupid plastic thing that's only three feet off the ground & No kids using it. It's no wonder they'd rather play on a computer & get fat.
He was WAY off on 2020! LOL
Indisputable leader. He was clues man. Now we implement magna carta. As we were not duped but blaspemed. He does all with fun laughter and sure footed Ness. Right you are. Pain was main weapon so return derision with happy and free. Why in one life would you stop temptation as they stole everything. Allen says be you as God delights being bigger more varied unpoped and a regular guy with sex pure no detail missed. Gone realised. He knows enemies are to be ended. Nazis must go. He has hidden messages why not destroy misery misery makes and gold diamond dead. Or die forever well done Dave we go in tonight. Life
dark was this siily episode. not a great episode
