Nothing can or ever will beat the old TV shows. I used to laugh until my stomach hurt.

RIP Bobby Ball and RIP Rick Parfit . This has reminded me how good Tommy and Bobby were. Obviously Tommy is still with us , but it shows what fabulous performers they were as a double act.

Love cannon and ball and the mighty Quo...gold bless Bobby and Rick ❤

Nothing on television like that these days it was class

This is an absolute gem RIP Rick parfitt Bobby Ball

Bobby & Rik both gone too soon but by hell they gave us all good times. RIP.

Love this, the quo were great to join in, so so funny 👏👏👏👏

When even stars had a sense of humour real life

Not seen this in years, used to have it on VHS. Love how Rick fluffs the intro on one of the times. They're both two criminally underated acts

When British TV was great. Not one cook or makeover in sight.

Rick and Bobby miss you guys so so much…. R.I.P. guys… Legends 💔💔💔🌹🌹🌹👍

Quo have always been good sports

Cannon and Ball did the pantomime season some years ago at the Grand Opera House in Belfast and it was by far the best, funniest panto that I’ve ever been to. I’m over 70 now so I’ve been to a lot of pantos. They were brilliant.

And Cannon and Ball

Wonderful from a Beatles fan born and bred in Liverpool. Met McCartney a lot over the years.

Absolute magic... Still funny after all this time.

Everytime I walk past Millets in town, I think of this video

Watch him Tom, he's moving in🤣🤣

Love all the negative comments from the Russell Brand fans. Before they made it to TV Cannon and Ball used to fill the clubs and stars of the small screen would turn up in the audience to watch true craftsmen at work. They were the only comedians you could see every night of the same week and laugh every night of that week. TV didn't do them justice, same for Russ Abbot and to some extent Freddie Starr. Haters hate on Tommy and Bobby were great whether or not you agree doesn't really matter, does it?

@@theknightwhosaysni1356 Yeah, the Morecambe & Wise, Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood, Goodies and Dave Allan years spoiled us. Comedy couldn't match it and needed a new direction which came some years later. But comedians attracted to ITV were less funny there, I'm not sure why but the writing was cruder and lacking in finesse.

I'm no Brand fan, but watching this sober rather than in a club after a few pints doesn't help. The truth is they weren't very funny then and they aren't now.

Brilliant Comic's, Saw there Acts at Bridlington Three Bees Theatre Bar, They were Hilarious.

Does anyone remember a show called 'Seaside Special ' every Saturday early evening. My mum and dad used to love it. TV back then was a damn sight more entertaining. There was no P.C. and not as many ethnic faces as today especially in advertisements!!

He was so good

Aw the best … love em so much 😍😍😍

Great shout it just shows how times have changed

Love it. So funny. Love Bobby Ball.

This was the first time id seen what Quo looked like back in 1984, Id herd 12 gold bars and liked some of the songs. This clip (although cringeworthy now) cemented my love for the band. Although I still remeber that after all the Caroline intros I was Dissaponted that they played Marg Time.

nothing to do with money, this was entertainment in our day, xxx

Brilliant

Loved it😂

The Swan Man of Ilkley!

Great

Bobby Ball looks like Alan Lancaster lol

This was hilarious . Hahahaha

These two guests in suits - this is a nightmare! Quo - as always great !!!!

Ant & dec are the biggest talentless tossers EVER to appear on tv,their profiles have comments turned off because people have left slagged them off.

Rumour has it that Bobby was genuinely annoyed with Status Quo during this as they didn't rehearse any of it.
