Because the BBC is run by spineless bastards who care more about the right of a few minorities with chips on their shoulders not to be offended, than the right of the rest of us to enjoy one of the mn whose work defined an era. Like you say - shame on them!
Read Spike's Book "PUCKOON" published in orange Penguin. Your local library should have it. I have bought it many times only for it to be "borrowed" and never returned. One copy went through a block of apartments like a dose of Epsom Salts. My eternal gratitude to you for posting this vid. Kind regards, Murphy. PS check out Spike "Idiot of the year" on YOUTUBE The show presenter is a mock of Hughie Green who fathered Paula Yates. Many thanks again.
Thing is, they are all stereotypes - come on, everyone knows that the Irish aren't all stupid (Spike was Irish too of course - and born in India), not all Jews are money-orientated, not all Germans are anti-semitic etc.....
It's the stereotypes that are funny, and they're not true to life at all.
I really want to see the time he appeared on ABC in Australia. Wikipedia tells me he hung around for the news and ad libbed a news item about himself after each news story.
if you google 'q6 milligan', you will find the Qseries tribute site with lots of scripts and pics and vids from Spike Milligan's finest TV hour. And a DVD petition to sign!
If Spikes hilarious surrealism doesnt kill you in laughter, him losing it at his own silliness whilst the cameras continue to roll will. We'll never see his like again. :(
I've got a personal letter from Spike too and two of his books signed that I sent him for that purpose in 1995. They won't be going on eBay....I treasure them dearly.
Spike is awesome! How is it that he could do that then and people laughed, and now people are all like: "Oooh, he's mocking us! Crucify him! Crucify him!" Who cares? Stop being thin skinned and laugh at yourselves people!!!!!
Spike's a legend, true comics can do and say what they want, Spike called Prince Charles on live TV a 'Grovelling Little Bastard' Problem? Not with me. It's this fucking Stupid PC UK we live in who call the shots. Lets ban Carry On Films, Benny Hill, Rising Damp, Two Ronnies, Dave Allen, 'Goodness Gracious Me'they used the P word...ooh. If Richard Pryor was starting out today, he would stand no chance. PS Jim Davison is an unfunny Racist Dick...see my point?
Absolutely. Spike Milligan was definitely NOT a racist. There was an incident in the war when Spike and his platoon were off duty while a platoon of Indians were on guard. One of Spike's fellow privates said "What are those bloody wogs doing here?" and Spike replies "Those wogs are standing between you and the Germans."
do not worry sir the spider on the bread roll will get in lmfaoshind :) spike you legend

The 'Grovelling Bastard' thing was really just part of his humour anyway. Even Prince Charles got the joke since Spike was Knighted some Years later

Apparently, the night of the performance, when Spike got home he sent Prince Charles a fax saying "I suppose a knighthoods out of the question then?"
