well the truth is spike milligan was not british in fact he held an irish passport his father was born in sligo town ,spike did how ever serve in the british army and was refused a british passport in 1960 and ireland gave him his natural right to be irish because of his bloodline but in any case the legend will remain one of the funnest people ever and a irish poet among the best may he forever rest in peace
@sparkygl0s Shortly afterward, Spike sent a fax to the Prince, which said "I supposed a knighthood is out of the question?" Fortunately, HRH loved Spike's humor and was a close friend, and an honorary KBE was bestowed on Spike (since Spike had Irish citizenship)
Anyone sitting down when he took the stage should be flogged. The contribution Spike Milligan made to the world of comedy, the British character and the WORLD in general is incalculable. And the personal cost for that brilliance, staggering and brutal. A true genius and the funniest man of the 20th Century. Bravo Spike. Bravo. RIP.
We need another Spike, and another Pete - talk about saving the best for last. I remember watching this live with my mum and dad (my dad introduced me to The Goon Show) and we all had bladder-control moments. Who else could say that about the heir to the throne and lift the roof off? The timing was effortless and beyond perfect, and what killed me was Mel Smith at 3:08. Classic Milligan though - real anger in there somewhere. Mozart of comedy - Discuss, as they used to say in exam questions.
Spike was an incredible talent and human being, I could not agree more about the comments on Ben Elton. A prick !!! You can guarantee he will never experience an evening in his honor such as that.
@paulallan1000 are you honestly saying that Blackaddder is crap? the most iconic british sitcom of all time, and you describe it as "a shit new wave of comedy"
@00jobin I tell you what,i'd rather watch the old comedians compared to the rubbish classed as comedy these days.These comedians did'nt have to have an f or c word in every joke to be funny,just a fantastic script and likeable personalities.We'll still be watching the likes of them in 50 years time when this current crop of filth is long forgotten
I sent Spike a letter in about 1994 and he sent me one back. He lived in Rye which has some irony. Dumbwomans lane if i recall correctly, what a lovely gentleman.
These kinds of awards ceremonys where everything's over the top and so pretentious make me want to eat my face off. Aaaaggghhh.. that fucking music they play!
now thats the sign of a great comedian... just a few words, and the whole room is gasping for air from laughing... thank you spoke millignar, you wonderful typing error you :)
@19630541 He would've said the exact same thing. Prince Charles is a massive Spike Milligan fan and the two of them were very close friends. Spike wrote his obituary when he knew he was dying which read "Wrote the Goon Show and died" and his tombstone reads "I told you I was ill" in Irish. Comedy genius until the day he died and beyond.
@hanghoodiescum Yeah, the people in the audience have big noses like they're Jewish. Have you a little prick? I know you ARE a little prick, but HAVE you a little prick?
Good clip. Spike was touched with mad comic genius. The fact that he imitated foreigners and thought daft people were funny does not detract a bit from his creativity. He always stuck up for the underdog actually. I used to like Ben Elton, it embarasses me now.
Really Ladies, this seminal moment in british comedy, is reduced to your petty comments about ben elton, and some inarticulate stuff about BNP supporters. Have you actually watched this video?? The great man takes the piss out of royalty, and makes Jonafan Woss look like a complete pwank (plank). Forget your petty loyalties, enjoy the great man.
I notice that Ian Hislop is the only one not making a big show of his applause.. all the others know the cameras are on them and act accordingly.. At least Hislop knows what's what..
Spike also took the piss out of the Irish and the English so what? He took the piss out of humanities daftness and if that daft person had a turban or a red beret it was all fair game. Just because he wasnt drowning in 'P.C' it doesnt make him a bigot.
All jokes have a target, as long as malice isnt the reason for that joke there is no harm done, he was a grumpy old git but not a bigot.
great guy he was, I reckon true comedy died with him, imagine if he was still alive though, i'd never have a dull day with his humour on every now and then
Look at that hypocritical little cunt Ben Elton he should be shot the smug little basterd.He was the one who complained about the old type of comedians like Spike that caused them to lose their shows and tv contracts in the early 80's to be replaced by Elton and his shit new wave of comedy,also he hated the royals yet he can't stop kissing their arses these days,somebody should knock the little fucker out.That is the only person i have ever wished death on.
@paulallan1000 well said the cunt even denies that he was ever left wing,opportunist self satisfied cunt that last part was a direct quote from his mummys memoires
@calum66 If you checked your facts Elton said in numerous interviews in the early 80's that Spike Milligan should not have been on tv as his shows were so out of touch with the youth of today and it was time he retired check it out then apologise
@ChainsawVsGod Are you kidding?? I started First Casualty and gave up, it was that tedious, would never have gone to print without his name on it, Blackadder GF was pure genius tho
Haha. First casualty and Inconvievable are his only two bad novels. Don't judge all his stuff by that one book though. Please. He's written some amazing stuff. You should check out Stark, Gridlock or High society. Or literally any other of his books. Hilarious and very well written.
@paulallan1000 Totally agree, Ben Elton is about as funny as hemaroids. He`s fucking useless!! And whether anyone likes Jim Davidson or not, he`s right about one thing, Ben Elton has proven that you can still be a stand-up comic WITHOUT getting any laughs.
Spike Milligan was a true comedy giant, what a pity none of his genius rubbed off on to the overpaid nob-ends standing either side of him here. R.I.P Spike.
just after this Spike would send a fax to the Prince of Wales, it would read "So, I suppose a Knighthood's out of the question?". Spike would get his Knighthood six years later.
one of my all time favourite comedians, I read all his war books, the funniest thing I ever read, he was full of witty quips and one liners, one of my favourites is " I want to be buried up a tree so people will look up to me ". and about his friend Harry Secombe he said "I'm glad he died before me, because I didn't want him to sing at my funeral." a comic genius.
I was a little too young to fully depreciate Spike but as i have gained years and seen more and more of spikes wonderful comedy i can now fully appreciate the intelligence and wit behind it all, oh Spike... wherever good humor and silliness abide i know your there in spirit.
@seamusmcmad - what on earth have the 'PC Brigade' got to do with anything? Spike was a forward-thinker in every way - I'm sure he would be disgusted to have his name linked with any sort of harking back to the 'good old days' when everyone could be as racist and sexist as they liked.
@seamusmcmad Yeah, I must apologise. I thought you were just a bit of a tit, but it seems from looking at your other comments that you're a BNP supporter. I have no interest in getting into a battle with a racist moron. Thank you and goodbye.

One of Humour's big moments.ONLY Milligan could have said THIS and only he could have got away with it and made EVERYONE explode with joy and laughter at it because of what he said.Its also a joy to see him chuckling at it HIMSELF after he said it like a naughty schoolboy ! ; what a madman !
This is when tv was at it's best. Look at he faces there Smith, Hislop, Sessions, Barrymoore and not forgetting the genius that is Milligan! t went downhill after the stopped showing it live cos the swearing etc...I'm also glad at 0:50 they cut to the cunts not applauding or giving him the standing ovation he so clearly deserved, respected and worked hard for. Look at the guy on the balcony with the grey hair looking down at them with the contempt they deserve! Good Boy!!
@bensimps123 He was awarded a kbe, knight commander of the british empire. It was honourary due to the fact he was an irish citizen. His coffin was draped in the flag of the republic of ireland. His headstone bears gaelic (irish) language. I dont think its in dispute what nationality spike thought he was.
@daithijjj but still he sounded english and lived here for longer so in my view that makes him more british then irish but if he wanted to be a fake irishman so be it

One of Humour's big moments.ONLY Milligan could have said THIS and only he could have got away with it and made EVERYONE explode with joy and laughter at it because of what he said.Its also a joy to see him chuckling at it HIMSELF after he said it like a naughty schoolboy ! ; what a madman !

Spike Milligan, too much laughter for one lifetime but what a life it was.

A magnificent human being and humorist. The very best comedy of the last 50 years owes a debt to this man.

This is when tv was at it's best. Look at he faces there Smith, Hislop, Sessions, Barrymoore and not forgetting the genius that is Milligan! t went downhill after the stopped showing it live cos the swearing etc...I'm also glad at 0:50 they cut to the cunts not applauding or giving him the standing ovation he so clearly deserved, respected and worked hard for. Look at the guy on the balcony with the grey hair looking down at them with the contempt they deserve! Good Boy!!

@lac6480 well he was born in india and lived most his life in this country (england) so don't claim him to be completly irish!

@bensimps123 He was awarded a kbe, knight commander of the british empire. It was honourary due to the fact he was an irish citizen. His coffin was draped in the flag of the republic of ireland. His headstone bears gaelic (irish) language. I dont think its in dispute what nationality spike thought he was.

@daithijjj but still he sounded english and lived here for longer so in my view that makes him more british then irish but if he wanted to be a fake irishman so be it
