This is the man who admitted to buying the boxset of 'Love thy Neighbour'
Because you were stuck on Mt Pleasant with Jim Davidson for entertainment... don't take it out on me!

I remember it well from my youth. Used to be one of the highlights of my week. Bernard Manning, Colin Crompton, Charlie Williams, all sadly no longer with us. The show also featured George Roper, Frank Carson, Dougie Brown and, of course, Ken Goodwin. Wonder whether they'll put it out on DVD. They don't make 'em like that any more!

Just you I think, but comedy is a matter of taste and opinion so if he makes you laugh thats good enough - By the way Im into oral sex myself, I talk about it all the time!!

My girlfriend is gutted about Manning dying.[/quote]
I saw Manning twice at his Embassy club. Great entertainment, but the beer left a lot to be desired. I think the rumours that it was watered down may well have been true!

Didnt know Manning was dead!! - He caused havock in Derby when he played one of our major hotels - A lot of the staff were black and refused to serve drinks etc to the punters who thought racist jokes were funny - He never came back, nobody in Derby would book him after that - The comedians was a pretty good show for the time without having any really outstanding comedians - I did like Mike Reid though, who I liked even more as an actor playing Frank Butcher.

Don't bet on it as some of the jokes are non-PC. I heard a rumour once that BBC thought of editing their old shows like 'Only Fools...' and that to remove jokes that are non-PC.
It is only a matter of time.
They did it recently on an episode of porridge taking out a gay reference.
So it's now started.
