It's not just the comedy of Stanley Baxter we in Britain were  blessed with. Hancock/

Kenneth Williams/ The Goons/ Benny Hill

Morcambe & Wise/ Monty Python/ Dick Emery / Eric Sykes to name just a few. American comedy has always been shit

Bilko/ Hogans Heroes/ I love lucy / Johnny Carson/ Dick Van Dyke Show.

This is the one dimensional pile of sick is what the US offered us in GB when I was growing up. But alas money talks and our comedy heroes either faded away or sold out.

I'm and American who learned about Stanley Baxter in 1978, due to PBS, here in California, from the moment I saw Baxter, I knew a lot about how blessed you are in the UK to have this talent.

[Pyroman1990]

im from the uk, not too familiar with him though

[algoyo]

He is the best comic talent we have had frankly. His shows were legendary in their scope and scale.

The interviewer looks strangely like Caroline Quentin.

[brushfuse]

Baxter is a really talented and funny guy. He's returning with a new one off comedy christmas show for 2008. I'll certainly look forward to this.

[ojideagu]

Its funny that this would be unthinkable to make now lol an old man alone with 2 kids in his windmill.

[Striplight1980]

I used to love that show!! I had a crush on Melanie... TO THINK THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO!!

[ymo1965]

Just watched the b&w comedy movie 'very important person' with stanley' and cant believe i remembered his name (im 43). What a genius. God bless him! he was THE best!

[richg101]

such a strange little idea for a tv program, from back in the day where there was real soul. I remember this being such an enjoyable program as a child. searching for the video or dvd if there ever was one.

[THEGRANDPRIXWEBSITE]

HES NOT DEAD.

[bwcajp]

Indeed! He's in a radio play on Radio 4 this week. Where do these rumours come from?

[GEORDIE2K7]

It's a shame he's dead like. I've got the video of Mr Majeika. It's a classic film.

[eastwardtv]

[8589brian]
