I'm 62 and just watched and enjoyed this, Mike Yarwood puts in an appearance too.
Such a good show.
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 think Jimmy carr based his career on his style
Very clever bloke.
Great writer and stand up comic.
A rather oliaginous duo.Originally Posted by ToTaL ITK
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
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.
I always thought he was a bit creepy and oily
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
Bob was a genius, there's a great book about him

Raving tory
Never liked his school of comedy .....Crowther , Him , Forsythe
All a bit forced even though they were not
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.
I do
The thing was, there were only two channels in those days, and even when BBC2 started, many people couldn't get it because it needed a new aerial (change from 405 lines to 625 lines - that's how the B&W picture was broadcast).
Ann Astone was hot, but we never knew whether she genuinely thick or it was an act.
I just looked up her biog - she admitted mental arithmetic was a struggle. Born Anne Lloyd, had to change it to Aston (Where GS was filmed) as there was another Anne Lloyd in showbiz.
Liked the one from the halfway line
Ann Aston had one from the halfway line? Bernie must have put some oooomph into that.
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.
BM always seemed a bit creepy on TV, but contestants aften said he was really a top bloke who calmed their nerves and really wanted them to do well.
