Spike Milligan - Anglo-Italian Police Training Film

[AbuAvital]

With the Islamic takeover I wonder if Spike would be allowed to perform today with a towel on his head.

[dave2806]

@AbuAvital he would do it anyway . that was just spike all over .

[ShanksDChopper]

@dave2806 Indeed. In fact, telling Spike that he couldn't do something was a surefire way to get him to do it.

[jakesbrain]

@ShanksDChopper As Spike would point out, there's a lot of difference between a level-headed person telling you that you OUGHT not do something and a madly P.C. person telling you that you MUST not do it. The latter are more fun to tweak.

PC humour Spike-stylie xxx

I like David Lodge's THUG tattoo on his forehead!

[walesfan1]

Absolutely brilliant. Funny as fuck. Those were the days when you could offend any nation without some moanie minnie complaining.

[HUNTT01]

BILLIANT HUMOUR STUFF THE PC AND ETHNIC LOBBY IF ANYONES OFFENDED JUST DONT WATCH OR LISTEN ITS YOUR CHOICE THE QUICKER THE BBC PUBLISHES THE SERIES OF MILIGAN SHOWS ON DISC THE BETTER.

I wonder if Spike was making fun of the "Black and White minstral" show? They insisted all through the 70's that blacking up was OK as they were singing minstrals despite the fact that they actually didnt sing any authentic minstral songs on their show apart from an occassional Al Jolson song. Strange.

Spike was great.

PC humour ? lol

[GlowWorm1962]

@realgungho  A contradiction in terms IMO.

[joebstarsurfer]

genius

[HUNTT01]

GET A LIFE ITS NOT RACIST ITS JUST VERY GOOD HUMOUR WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN IF IT CAUSES OFFENCE WHY WATCH IT.

THIS WAS DONE IN THE DAYS THAT WE COULD LAUGH WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT POLITCAL CORRECTNESS OR ETHNIC IDIOTS.

[death2utubenow]

@HUNTT01 I agree about PC and comedy but your term "ETHNIC IDIOTS" makes me think you are talking about something totally different and that we have nothing in common.

[diipiividiio]

If you have to ask you would never understand the explanation

[vanderpant2116]

why does the police man have black face paint on ??

[uklandman]

Satire

[tonymontana1974]

@vanderpant2116 Milligan would do stuff like have a man with black face paint on for no reason really it dosent make a lot of sence but a lot of his comedy dosent still funny though.

[LeeJTurnock]

Because it's a Spike Milligan show!

[malcstag]

THERE WAS NO GREEN PAINT

[buttsyrc8]

@vanderpant2116

We will never know

[Nimmynimmypinkpoo]

I remember cracking up at this sketch when I saw it on TV. First time I've seen it since, and it still has me in stitches. Classic Spike brilliant madness.

[ReeseyLee]

YEs this is hilarious!

[lepetamane]

[LeeJTurnock]

If ANYONE out there has the full, complete There's A Lot Of It About series as broadcast in 1982 (NOT the revised repeats!), PLEASE upload it all to YouTube. I watched the series when I was eight years old and it was exhilarating.
