Dick Emery, Benny Hill, Spike Milligan, and the Two Ronnies are all my favorite comdians, may they rest in peace (except ronnie corbett who's still alive ;)
wasnt he great the anglia if ford ever made a bad car that was it so hard to start in morning however dick rip made up for it been dead 30 years now bless bye dick rest in peace pb manchester.
I've seen this sketch on the BBC program "My favorite joke". I had never heard of Dick Emery before. I'm glad I know about it now, I love English comedy and I'm always on the look-out for more shows and sketches =D
Anthony Sharp, the gentleman who runs the Training Centre in this sketch, played the "Minister of the Interior" in 'Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange' - one of my favourite actors in my favourite film. RIP, Mr Sharp.
I totally agree he was before I was born (I am 29) and it's humour that unlike most of the stuff around isn't mean spirited or at the expense of anybody's dignity, The Fast Show obviously had this as an influence and they prob wouldn't deny it either
@mackinl Did anyone know that Dick Emery was the president of the Airfix Modellers Club in the seventies? I was a member as a kid and you got a monthly letter from the man himself.
Brilliant! Can anyone find, and put up the sketch where Dick Emery is an undertaker on his way to a funeral and is harassed by a Hell's Angel (Roy Kinnear) who by constantly overtaking the hearse, forces it to go faster and faster. At first, all the floral tributes get blown off the hearse, then the coffin comes loose and bangs against the tailgate. Eventually, whilst careering round a bend the coffin shoots out and lands in a duck pond. Hilarious!
I suddenly remembered the 'Miss' character yesterday at hospital, when the male physiotherapist was treating me and burst out laughing - he was probably too young to remember Dick Emery. He was a genius in his field and very perceptive of human behaviour. Thank goodness he lives on at You Tube! Brilliant
Sorry.....I can't help but notice all the comments from you people talking about how things have changed from the non-chalant , caution to the wind style of 70's humor to the ridiculous politically correct hypocritical style of today. This seems to be a problem everywhere , but in Britain it's looks as if it's gone overboard.Don't you people still give a damn about YOUR country anymore? In a few more years you will be damn close to living in Sharia fucking Law! Fight Back!!!
looking back Monty Python were not funny, just a load of middle class pratts larking around thanks to Mummy & Daddy. Dick put more thought and effort into his shows then they ever did. plus he was more in touch with ordinary people.
Thanks so much for posting this. I rarely saw Mr. Emery back in the 60's. Don't know why, but every clip I ever did see was a screamer. Fantastic to see such a set of sketches. Monty Python's team had a hard act to follow - if follow they did.
pure genius. comedy at its best. no swearing or offensive material. then again when your this funny you don't need to! most comedy now really scrapes the barrel. RIP Dick. you were up there with the best.
It's odd how the classic comedians (Dick, Benny, Spike, Ronnie & Ronnie...) were so politically incorrect, and yet by today's standards they were naïve - they didn't use profanity, they weren't vulgar or malicious... they poked fun at stereotypes and everything was just good, clean fun. And they still make me laugh after all these years. R.I.P. Dick. We miss you.
@galinneall Back then, this politically-correct nonsense didn't exist, so humour was based on the differences between us. None of it was done with the slightest bit of malice. It done purely for laughs. Nowadays, it's considered, 'offensive', to say anything to point out people's differences, so the humour relies solely on smut, vulgarity and plain piss-taking.in order to get laughs. And, doesn't it suffer for it!
I never heard that Dick Emery was "much maligned"- he was extremely popular here in Australia. I have his DVDs and get a great giggle from them, 30 years later.
Absolute class ! Dick is a legend sadly missed - much better than most stuff on today - i used to watch this every Saturday night as a teenager - one of the BIG shows of the time for years ! You could see the driving test nervous man punchline coming couldnt you ? ha ha. Didnt Dick look like Freddie Mercury ? most noticable as big tooth vicar !
I say stuff the PC brigade! I grew up with comedies such as this. We were far better for it. We weren't expected to walk on eggshells then, not that I do it now!
I remember him from the telly when I was growing up. You can see his humour and characters writ large in today's Little Britain. These comedians have always kept us laughing whatever the weather.
I live in Brighton, gay capital of Europe, and I can't really think that any of them would be offended by the gay character. Heavens, that, Larry Greyson and John Innman could be the reason they came out today! Each to their own.
God that was a blast from the past love all the charactors but mandy and Hettie made me laugh when i was a kid and still do ....please upload some more ...thanks so much
Absolutely fantastic...Especially Gaylord the intellectually challenged bovver boy, ("I fink I got it wrong again dad"!!).And Hettie the frustrated spinster, and of course Mandy the raver amongst a host of un PC but very funny characters....you have got to get more Dick Emery on here....please.
