Innocent days of laughter. Thank you 😅

Yes thank heavens for U Tube.

Classic comedy,love it ,just don't see shows like this nowadays.

Such a skilled and talented comedian.

This is my favourite Dick Emery sketch! I can’t believe I was only 13 when this was made but I remember it so well. June Whitfield was so lovely, I met her briefly in London in 1984 and she was so sweet. Both are sadly missed but left us so many great sketches and happy memories. 💜💜

There is actually another sketch of these two, in it, they take out a life insurance policy and "accidentally" try to knock each other off. I found it in one of the full episodes on youtube. It is amusing to watch these two at it again!

my late mother made us watch Dick Emery...we loved it because he made her laugh

One of the funniest sketches in comedy history.. Amazing!!! Always loved this...

Dick Emery what a total talent. Hilarious

June Whitfield is great

Hi Nick Your father was an absolute genius. I can't recall the amount of times I've fallen about with laughter watching hisshows. Too few and not long enough. James Maynard Kitchener Lampwick (My fav character) is a very treasured memory, that will stay with me forever. How brilliant he was to millions

Wow. Your father is the most creative genius ever. His drag was legendary as was his happily married sketch. But his best shot was in drag as a princess then following it up with a man's walk. Priceless. Wow we love you Emery

Wonderful.

As his son, I know that he was not a pilot during WWIi but he was in the RAG Gangshows where he developed some of his characters.

Thank you Nick. I'm glad you have put the record straight. Your dad was a comic genius, you must be so proud. GLF

Great

Really great laughs, and I love how non-" PC" those times were! We knew how to laugh without being nasty. 21st Century is really vile by comparison.

I admired your dad very much proud are you . HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY HERO The greatest and always will be . irishman pat manchester . bless.

SUPERB!

I remember David Jason saying in his auto-biography, he appeared with Dick Emery at the Pier Theatre, Bournemouth in the 1960s. Apparently, Dick quite openly fooled around with other women despite the fact he was married, which made the rest of the cast feel very uncomfortable when Dick's wife came to visit him.

Best one I ever watched the party at vicars when crushing biscuits and rubbing in his hair teapot poured in top pocket best sketch I ever saw as bored six weeks holidays bored out of my skull teenager live to see it again

After he died..the BBC wouldnt release his programmes..thats why you dont see re-runs. Some legal thing with his wife. He loved racing cars bikes boats etc. I use to know someone who bought a Corvette sports car only to fing the previous owner...Dick Emery.

@drpoxy It really ios my pleasure. I Thank You for taking the time to tell me. GLF

The best Dick in the business, still makes me laugh today never mind when I was a child growing up in the 70s..... Pure comedy genius

The early shades, this sketch was funny and shady, lol 😂😈, Dick passed away 6 months before I was born, but I grew up quickly watching Benny Hill, mid 80’s

@anitalittle2002 Yes it certianly is! Dick was a great comic talent, no one like him now. Thank You for your comment. GLF

So this is where the writers of father Ted got their idea for the happy couple who ran the local shop. Good old Dick Emery.

Comedy genius, and wasn’t June beautiful

I thought the twist was gonna be June was actually Reggie's wife !

Notice the genuine laughter from the audience instead of the mechanical tinned screaming superimposed on today's unfunny comedy.

Does anyone remember the snooker table sketch where the sides fell off? Can't find it anywhere... any ideas?

It was a beautiful country England was in the 1970s I was living over there from 1977 untill 1979 and i went back there in 1982 it was still good then.and left there in Dec 1982 I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE COUNTRY SINCE LEAVING. England had its own brand of comedy its own brand of food and its own brand of beverages. How sad England has become now since Margret Thatcher left power that was when their downfall began When John Major took over the Muslim invasion began They got rid of shows like this they took over areas of London they call no go zones you cannot go there if you Are not Muslim you have to go to the police station and get a list of places you can go to and i believe the pubs are gone in the no-go zones (thanks to John Major) The English butcher shop is gone replaced with halal meat only the Muslims will eat. And gone are the theater They don't watch movies in Syria the go prey in a mosque there is no form of entertainment there Unless you consider going to church a form of entertainment white chapel is now a no go zone The last i heard Darby road in Southampton England Is all Muslim owned no whore houses there anymore England had lost its identity because of invasion Lost the pubs lost British beef lost alcohol In short England and become a European Iraq With no consideration for the Englishman! Back then the average Joe used to complain about Margret thatcher I wonder what they re saying since Now I'll bet they wish thatcher was still in power

@castlebar67 I believe he was married, but was famous for his portrayal of "Gaylord" and others. GLF

Catherine Tate is a legend in our times

Angie and Den anyone?

Better back then, a lot cheaper
