died at 52. same year as Victoria wood in 2016. What a double blow for legendary female comedians. Two of the greatest writers of comedy ever nevermind their acting skills.

I'd forgotten how Sharp she was. What a sad loss

the absolute brilliance of Caroline Aherne is here for everyone to see, so sad she isn't here to entertain us now

Totally agree she’s one of the greats, but I think she did get full recognition, you could feel the shock and grief when she passed away from public and celebrity alike, heartbreaking it came so close to Victoria Wood’s passing too.

People always tend to immediately say things such as "underrated" and "not enough recognition" when someone has died. Well I think after 11 awards and 5 nominations, she did get the deserved recognition. It's just tragic that her life was cut so short.

So sad we lost Caroline far too soon , a great talent. Rest in peace lovely

Very scripted but that's not to take away the brilliance of Caroline Aherne's delivery of the "set pleces". Comedy genius indeed. RIP Caroline.

I miss her so much, she was a genius.

RIP Caroline, you are amazing. RIP to her guests that have also passed.

To Rolf Harris: 'You've made Australia popular... you and Cell Block H.' Prophetic.

Caroline - you were a genius R.I.P

Absolutely talented and so missed

Talk about under-rated. This, her bits in The Fast Show, and for those of us of a certain age - Sister Mary Immaculate. Genius.

This character has a lot of Jim royle in it. The sharp wit and put downs and passive aggressiveness. She was so marvellous

RIP Caroline. You were absolutely genius

So beautiful, i never met her but if i did i dont think id be able to take my eyes off of her.

Lightning quick. Bless her x

She was DAMN quick "Are you Paul Merton's mother?" "No, are you?"

2019 still fantastic Shows how garbage TV is today . Rolf Harris and cell block H .. Did Mrs Merton know something back then . I was also shocked on how many of her guests are no longer with us . R.I.P Caroline gone but not forgotten x

Loved this quick glimpse of Gary Rhodes as well

Fkin brilliant! A short lived classic.

"Lovely, sit down before Im sick." Fucking hell, she was a sharp one.

Her comedy and creativity is amazing,and Mrs Merton,brilliant character to get away with saying anything,it was almost like the guests were fooled into thinking she was senior citizen and just had to sit and take what she said,add the audience and the illusion was complete,brilliant. Caroline Aherne♥️💕

She was a true comedian. Legend

Missed this , she was so amazing , clever , talented, and missed so much ❤😢

Can't believe most of these people have died, including her 😭😭😭

I used to LOVE this. Laugh out loud hilarious now and then.

"Someone who's not so puddled" just did me in.

Chris Eubank was so egotistical and he made a complete fool of himself. Some people are just incapable of laughing at themselves. Aherne was superb.

Every episode was brilliant. I remember her heated debate on conservation. 'Sting he's great isn't he, all that saving the rainforest. But where was he when they dug up our bowling green.' Brilliant. I also loved her routine Sister Immaculate who was a catty nun. Much missed Caroline.

'The Tears of a Clown' may be an age old saying: It is widely known that Caroline had many personal troubles. I hope that the name of 'Caroline Aherne' wil be embedded in history for all time as one the best ever talents in the history of comedy.

Caroline never got the credit she deserved Amazing wit,comic genius.

Watch over and over again and think of my dearest friend Ainsley Best

KZread should have a laugh 😂 button. One of my favourite shows.

Blimey! An appearance on her show and you had a 50% chance of kicking the bucket early!

Fabulous. Genius. So missed

Shocking to realise how many are now gone!

She was a genius.

Sadly missed. Such a talent.

Sad watching this now, half the people are dead! Life is short, do what you want to do.

This comedy style of interviewing originated in Australia in the 1970s by a tv character named Norman Gunston real name Garry MacDonald, a brilliant actor and comedian.

i do miss her she is so funny such a great actress and presenter i Love her

A comic genius. Rest in peace kaz

(about Mark Thatcher) "No, I'll give him a miss"

"You are the female Margaret Thatcher aren't ya? is it true you both have 666 on the back of your head?" LMAO!

Classic - possibly the best !

I watch this at least once a week!

Brilliant. Wow. Chris Eubank was way too serious.

Absolutely amazing.. probably even better than the Royle Family and that was unbelievable

A mix of guests, in no particular order. Then you have Gary Rhodes, followed by Clive James. Who both passed away within hours of each other, many years down the line.

This was a treat. Such a loss to us all that she l ft early.

So many great guests and the host, who are sadly no longer with us. Though, I had to laugh when Mrs Merton said Rolf Harris and Prisoner Cell Block H were the two best things to come out of Australia. Rolf became his own prisoner in Cell Block H!

Sit down! …Before I’m sick. 😂

She really was a treasure.

Mrs Merton was awsome.

She is brilliant

Loved her in the Royale family, so sad she's gone.

Having a go at people is friendly its cockney way better than talking behind there backs

Funniest lady ever X rest in peace caroline

The best 🙏

Caroline- "Do you know who finds you absolutely fascinating" Edwina - "Go on" Caroline- "You" Ahahahah 😄
