Watched a little That Mitchell and Webb Look (initially for "Cricket, here in Yorkshire?") then The Armstrong and Miller Show, as they're about the same age.
Weird how in hindsight Armstrong and Miller is much more consistently good, even though it's much less well remembered. Most sketches are bangers, but Mitchell and Webb is half and half classics and duffers (some poorly aged, some flat at the time).

— When I was a lad, there was only one Germany. There was Latvia, and Lithuania, and Estonia. And Bosnia. Herzegovina. Serbia and Croatia. Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan... and then it all changed. And then it all changed back again. Those changes cost the life of 66 million people. But it didn't cost me a penny — because I kept my old atlas!

“You shouldn’t moan about the audience. There’s nothing wrong with the audience. If they don’t laugh at your jokes, there’s something wrong with your joke. And so… I’m not terribly sympathetic to that sort of attitude, to be honest.”

I've genuinely enjoyed #Ghosts although I discovered it only after the American version. I'm glad there's one more series but so sad to hear it's ending.

#BOTD #KennethWilliams has become a favorite after watching several of the #BritishComedy series CARRY ON ...
#BOTD wiseguy #SheldonLeonard looked tough but had just a dash of charm to make his characters fun.
