Re the 80s election, Sir Les' line, "We're faced really with a choice between a farmer with lockjaw and a dry drunk," was particularly amusing. His other line about Bob sticking to the soda water before being elected and after being elected being able to get, "As full as a Catholic school," with hindsight (and Barry's own love of a drink) made it an interesting commentary.

Makes me feel warm inside when Sir Les mentions little old NZ, even when he’s making fun of us, genius comedian is Barry

Went to see this guy in Southampton with my mum and dad before my mum passed away. He was fantastic, it was a great show..so funny!

Sir Les, was,and always will be a living legend! An absolute comedic genius

"My son Craig, who’s at St Kevin’s and looking forward to a job in the taxation department… Mind you, if he passes his exams I don’t know where he’ll work."

Looks so easy, but he was a consummate professional in every respect, God Bless Ya Les

In my opinion my favorite comedian of all time. The best

A jewel of a comedian. I can’t stop laughing from the second I see him

In the 90's as a young pre-teen I used to laugh my head off with my mom when we saw him on TV.

Sir Les is a genius, everytime I watch him at work I need oxygen.

Miss him already. Love to Barry and his family.

Loved the Don Lane show, great memories of staying up ' late '😅.

Barry Humphries is an absolute treasure, and such a lovely man. When he talked about his alcohol allergy, so had to give it up, he was straight up and honest about that struggle. (Recorded on the Parkinson Show). Love him, always, always will. 🤣💥🤣💕

This is absolute GOLD. Thank you for publishing this as we are on the eve of a Federal Election. Cast your mind back to 1983 ... "It's a choice between a farmer with lock jaw or a dry drunk!" I vividly remember going to see the Show Barry was promoting here, and on the evening I attended, it was the very day that Prince Charles and Princess Diana had landed in Darwin with the infant Prince William. Well, the phone rang on stage, and Dame Edna answered, and Priness Diana was on the line ..... "You've arrived .... you're at the Motel ... what? ..... you've sacked the Nanny ..... Oh, a local woman? Yes, I have heard of Mrs Chaimberlain, I hear she has a way with kiddies!" Oh, 1983. Fond memories.

You were one of a kind, Barry...we will miss you... RIP

Sir Les is my absolute favourite of all Barry Humphries' comic characters.

This Pom loves Sir Les

I remember the first time I saw him, at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne. He would walk around the edge of the stage, accidentally (deliberately) spitting he's whiskey over the first few rows of the audience.

Sir les is a bloody true icon and enjoys a beer like all of us

Years ago I had a conversation with an Australian lady (think Hyacinth Bucket) who bemoaned the fact that Australia was represented to the world by the likes of Humphries/Everage/Patterson. "when there are so many DECENT performers, such as Barry Crocker." I took a gentle pleasure in informing her that Barry Crocker played the lead role in "The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie". Created by ....Barry Humphries. 'Course, the world has moved on...just as well she didn't mention Rolf Harris as a beacon of nicety !

Sheer class. God bless him.

Barry was brilliant. Great characters, and he knew the legs of Sam would receive attention.

Humphreys fell into the hide, spirit and corporeal shell of his characters - genius.

One of the finest diplomats in Australias short history , if this gent would have taken Chamberlains place in 1938 ol Adolf would never have bothered ..we shall never see his like again , worse luck 😂😂😂

I was 15 when Gough was sacked and Les was based on the politicians of that era. A bit like the Royal Family, they were strangely protected by the media that also exposed them when it suited. These days with internet social media, anything embarrassing would be leaked. Back then, deals were done. Nice legs too!

"Are you with me fellas?" He was so good. RIP.

A 'snowflake's' worst imagining. I would make Sir Les the next Director General of the BBC! Just imagine the reaction from all those grossly over-paid middle class liberals at the BBC. They would be outraged but not one would resign from their cushy number.

To scared he'll give them a job, brilliant.... Les wasn't on TV nowhere near enough...

HE really should have been Governor General, that was a missed opportunity.

Don Lane is so beloved to Australians. He came over from America to teach our TV industry about late night talk shows. But he is best remembered for inveterate rumours, so beloved of our national culture, of paying working girls to perform scatalogical feats too weird to describe here. And how citizens of all ages and classes loved to share these stories with loved ones and strangers alike, easing many a conversational interlude. He was only replaced in his position by the once lovely Jennifer Khyte who visited ER with proctological novelties. Everyone knows what I mean, and bless you blissfully ignorant foreigners, who must only be guessing about our wonderful culture of always giving the benefit of the doubt to strangers.
