Surely one of the greatest comedians to have lived. No gimmicks. No shock value. No 'edgy' stuff for the sake of it. Just sheer bloody talent. He was brilliant.

I was approached, when queuing in a bank, by a young lady. Trying to get me to have a credit card, I said , No thanks, she said, you can buy anything on it and pay monthly, and only pay whatever percent a month, I replied with my voice a little louder, I would rather save up and buy what I want and pay No Interest. She looked at me with a look of incredulity on her face and moved on. One or two in the queue smiled.😀

So great,

The bit about old people is so true, on so many levels. They've been in a queue, and now it's their turn... to socialise.

Wonderful comedian, I have enjoyed his talent for over 40 yrsc

Dave Allen - unparalleled, He was the funniest guy ever and totally unique.Wish he was still here 💔

Comedians who say it straight and how it is and comically are always the best. As is Dave Allen 👏✌️🤘

One of the best comedians/stand up comedians ever...

Absolutely brilliant ! Choking on my coffee !

Oh God, please give him back to us!

Such a comedy genius, with timeless humour. Still so funny in 2020.

Funniest guy ever. Loved Dave Allen.

It was always exciting to see Dave Allen on the TV when I was a youngster and to be able to access his routines whenever I feel like it as an adult is such a pleasure. I remember him well, smoking, drinking whiskey, riffing about religion and introducing his sketches - on prime time TV.

God bless him! At least he went before online banking came in!

Have you noticed they've closed all the post offices and moved them into places that you either need a chart and compass to find ,or the nearest parking is half a mile away then close what's left because they say that no one uses them .A truly brilliant comedian who is certainly up with the best of the best ,thank you for putting Dave on

I haven’t seen him for years but his humour is timeless. Such joy!

Good old Dave Allen best stand up comedian of all time!,hope all these programes are released on DVD!

...and today (2022) you're lucky to find a bank on your High Street.

Great humour never loses its relevance.

Absolutely great comedian great delivery great timing peerless

Can you imagine Dave laying into our banks today LOL........

A unique comedian, no one has being able to equal him. Very much missed!

"there should be a queue for foreigners" OMG can't get enough of this !

That’s one of the best anecdotes from the comedic legend that is Dave Allen!

😂 funny and truthful God bless you Dave Allen 💋

Truth personified in humour ( incredible how true This àctually Is )

Brilliant and a great observer of the human race.

Always appreciated Dave's humour ... original stuff

One of the greatest comedians/story-tellers from back in the days when people really believed that banks lent money, whereas the amount you wanted to “borrow” was only created after you signed the commitment to pay them the amount; on top of which were fees and compound interest payments, the money for which was never created. This legalised extortion has created massive unpayable debt burdens and social disruption. Would have been great to have Dave Allen’s humour and wit with us today.

This guy will always be one of the best, him and Mr Dorson I sadly miss.

What a comedian 👍

Nobody could match him then or now, he was brilliant. To watch the so called comedians on TV now trying to get laughs is painful and a waste of time.
