Can't remember his ailing health being public knowledge at the time,but those in the industry obviously knew. Think he died a few months later.

I'm 62 and just watched and enjoyed this, Mike Yarwood puts in an appearance too.
Such a good show.

I think Jimmy carr based his career on his style
Very clever bloke.
Great writer and stand up comic.
I always thought he was a bit creepy and oily
A rather oliaginous duo.Originally Posted by ToTaL ITK
Me too. Although I did like the Golden Shot. I remember reading he was a prolific joke writer.
Reminds me of being with my grandfather so good memories for me
Haven’t seen anything in about 20-25 years so looking forward to watching this
1.rich in, covered with, or producing oil; oily.
"fabrics would quickly become filthy in this oleaginous kingdom"
2.
exaggeratedly and distastefully complimentary; obsequious.
"candidates made oleaginous speeches praising government policies"
don't use big word unless you know what they mean
Bob was a genius, there's a great book about him

I think you just shot yourself in the foot, old fruit
Well done for looking it up, though. You learned something after all.
if you Google Monkhouse and oleaginous you'll quickly find a dozen or more articles where he's described as such, well his on stage persona at least.
ToTaL not ITK perhaps.
Raving tory
Never liked his school of comedy .....Crowther , Him , Forsythe
All a bit forced even though they were not
That's a good call
Micheal McCyntyre is another oily entertainer
Surely you can't really mean 'oily'. I looked it up in the dictionary and it states that oil is 'any nonpolar chemical substance that is composed primarily of hydrocarbons and is hydrophobic and lipophilic'
If you are going to use short words make sure you know what they mean

Probably well over 30 years ago I was talking with someone who worked in the New Theatre and he said Monkhouse was the most odious tw@t they’d ever met there. Sid James however was apparently a top bloke who was happy in the company of everyone.
But did you like The Golden Shot? Bernie the Bolt, Ann Aston? What's not to like?
Who remembers the Golden Shot when it first aired in 1967 with Jackie Rae and Heinz the bolt? Heinz was brought to the UK being the ‘bolt loader’ from the original German version. There were actually three different Bernies throughout the ‘Bernie’ era.
The Golden Shot used to be broadcast at Sunday tea times to huge audiences, it seemed like everyone used to watch it at the time. Wonder how it would have got on today in competition with the football on Sky?
Different times eh, two iconic game shows, most probably the biggest of the week, screened during that Sunday afternoon slot. Golden Shot & Bullseye. Pubs shut at 2pm, The Big Match when having your dinner, then the game shows. One time of the week when the family were together at home I s’pose. Strange how in those years I always remember being out playing football, cricket or just generally messing about yet I remember being in watching these shows. Perhaps I could be in two places at one time during those halcyon days
I was far more into rugby in the seventies and eighties than I am now and I think one of the reasons for that is that, especially once I got my black and white portable telly for my O level results from my parents, Rugby Special was part of my Sunday afternoon ritual, as was Ski Sunday with David Vine. I've mentioned before on here that I love watching old editions of Match of the Day ad the Big Match on You Tube and I've recently discovered someone who posts old rugby matches from forty and fifty years ago on there. I'm pretty embarrassed to say that at tea time yesterday I was watching a game between Lydney and Sale on You Tube from an edition of Rugby Special from 1983 I think it was with Nigel Starmer-Smith commenating - Christ, I need helpDifferent times eh, two iconic game shows, most probably the biggest of the week, screened during that Sunday afternoon slot.
