Is it just me? Mike Yarwood dead.

[Rake Aboot]

Nice of you to put all that effort into starting a thread about a guy that’s died , just to say you didn’t like him.

Some folk .

Love thy Neighbour

Clangers brilliant had forgot about them

I believe he’s seen more as a key game changer and roll model for many of today’s impersonators and satire-heavy script writers.

Ps: How they got away with this as a Children’s program is beyond me but glad they did! Skip to10:50:

Hemorrhoids Are funnier than Rory Bremner.

When I said ‘still funnier than Rory Bremner’, I meant he’s still funnier NOW.

 

[LuckyEddie]

Yeah right. 'Fess up you only watched it because of Nina Baden-Semper!

I was 10 when the programme finished!
Girls were still ergh-yuk to me at that point

At seventy it comes back into play, I believe.

I’d confused the guy with Mike Yardley who used to write for the field

He knew his side by sides from his over and unders but he could also do a mean impression.

TBF Mike Yarwood made a long career out of what he did , so it could not of been that bad- I would of watched and enjoyed as a kid-

70’s classic for me would have to be Tiswaz

No they ain't.

No they ain't.

You put your finger right on the point, so that's a thumbs up from me

There certainly was a lot of rubbish on the telly in the '70s. In the funny stakes, Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies were good. Excellent in parts, but they had off days too. They seem to make endless programmes about them now, which lends me to think they are bereft of ideas now. Fawlty Towers was excellent of course. In more recent times, The Office was excellent too, although I'm no great fan of wossname. Most of the sitcoms became pretty repetitive after an episode or two.

As for other programmes, I, Claudius was great. Having said that, I've run out of thoughts now on 70s telly. At least then the tellies were a bit deep, so you could put an ornament or two on them.

Anyway, this was my favourite in the '60s.

Monty python though not mainstream and the cadburys flake advert which I think was late seventies.

Now I’m older I can watch the Cadbury flake adverts with a different eye.
