Do you like 'silent' comedy?
If so . .
I appreciate that some are a bit dear but the used ones are a lot cheaper and, in my experience, generally ok.

Haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the tip.
The original Plank with Tommy Cooper is an absolute must for any collection!

It seems so bizarre now that they had totally straight musical performances on in between all the sketches.
In the first couple of two ronnies series they had 'straight' magicians n stuff too
It was a different age
Tv was full of 'variety' shows
You had some comedy
And then you had some music
Then maybe a vent
Anyway I do a brilliant impression of Ronnie Corbett saying "And now ladies and gentlemen - Miss Barbara Dickson..."

The Ronnie Corbett would tell me which of the whores hitchhiking by the side of the road I needed to sacrifice to the DarK Lord Cthulu. Back then I drove a HGV

Golden days
Pop/Rock concerts used to be like that in the 60s.
I remember seeing The Shadows and The Beatles with 'novelty' acts on the bill.

Did you actually see the Beatles in concert?
Yes, three times.
This was my first
Wow OR, that's something, where did you see them play?
That show was at The Odeon Birmingham 10th March 1963.
The show had an interval and the second top billing (Tommy Roe) was to close the first half and top (Chris Montez) the second half. The Beatles were due on directly before Tommy Roe but they were switched around as Please Please Me had reached number 1 a couple of weeks before.
Amazing.
