Im only 21, and I've grown up seeing and listening to many comedians, but I have found the ones that make me laugh the most are old ones like Les. Back when the BBC had stricter rules the true comedians shone through by working around the limitations or finding subtle ways past it (Round the Horne especially!). It's a shame people don't comedy like this anymore ... Thank you for uploading this! =D
What a fantastic entertainer he was. A good friend was lucky enough to meet him many years ago in the palace hotel in manchester he spent over an hour in his company memories that still make him chuckle to this day. RIP Les a true entertainer.
PLEASE: will who ever owns the Les Dawson footage re-release it onto TV? We had Frankie Howerd (thanks above), now it's time for the genius that is Mr Dawson!
I remember this live. Awesome stuff
