The jokes are crap but the sense of fun and the corpsing are absolutely brilliant, timeless! Growing up I always thought of Katie Boyle as asexual, how wrong was I.
a few years back (think it was in the times.. may have been the sun..i dunno) that they showed a sketch that is classed as 'non pc' by spike and a few more comics of his time to a multi race audience of 120 people. After the clips were shwon they asked each of them how they felt about the clips. They found that the races that were featured in the clips didnt find it racist. Yet the races that wern't featured said it was racist. When i find the link ill come back and post it -_-
@chubbylilloser It's sad isn't it, people love to get offended on other people's behalf. It's like the Brand/Ross scandal only two people found the initial broadcast offensive it took another 30,000 to actively seek it out and be outraged. It's pathetic
Absolutely wonderful sketch - one of Spike's best! He always said he didn't understand why the Beeb wouldn't repeat his shows. Some of the top executives (who wouldn't know something funny if it fell on them) didn't like it, and refused to acknowledge the incredible contribution to comedy Spike made. Maybe that's still the case now.
The BBC hated the Q series and never got the absurdist humour it espoused.
More sadly: Spike and Eric Sykes wrote a series, about two old Variety comedians trying to make a comeback in the age of alternative humour.
They sent it to the BBC.
It was returned, barely read, with "NOT FUNNY" written in red ink across the front page :-(
But Jonathan Ross and Russel Brand were oh just so hilarious, weren't they??? With their swearing, obscene 'phone calls and multi-million pound contracts.
Why the hell isn't Q5-9 and There's A Lot Of It About available on DVD? Spike influenced the Pythons, and there's now a whole generation who are totally oblivious to the genius of his his TV work.
The 'Q ' series is probably the maddest British comedy series ever made, i remember it in the 1970's, like Monty python, but to date you cannot buy it on video/dvd for some reason.
according to my Grandad (a huge Spike Milligan fan) there was a stereotype back then of the Irish being stupid, and therefore likely to jump into a soup bowl to try and save a fly's life
@specialfx34 PC never stopped this kind of comedy, what are you talking about? This is laughing at stereotypes, not making them, one of the many reasons why Spike is a genius and loved by so many - a huge difference from the nasty vapid racist crap of Bernard Manning and his ilk, which thankfully is not on TV any more and good riddance to it.
Oh for the glory days of un-hyped, non-pc, English humour.
Having read about him, it appears that Milligan could be very unpleasant to people around him. But, to me, as a fan, he will always be a very funny man, who by just looking at his facial expressions made you cry with laughter.
@ProteusQ71, it's got nothing to do with health and safety, that was not an issue in the early 70's, it's a joke about the Irish being thick and thinking the fly is drowning.
@ProteusQ71 lol yeah I mean isn't that what the Irish were like right? I mean in this, the French are often mistaken as "dirty and smelly", Germans as Nazis and Israelis as greedy people.
Brilliant. What a shame the bleeding heart do gooder liberals have dictated how we should try and live our lives. Thank god for You Tube and the internet.
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!
