I remember seeing this when I was a kid. Didn't quite get the joke at the time but I still got a laugh out of it. Great classic stuff.

The reason it was called At Last The 1948 Show, but was actually made in 1967, was a reference to how long the BBC used to leave a lot of shows gathering dust before showing them. It was a sign of changing humour as the university undergraduates who had started off in the satire boom came to prominence and featured people who would work in the Goodies and Monty Python. There are a couple of famous Monty Python sketches whichw ere originally written for this show.

I remember this skit from when I was a kid. My folks wouldn't tell me why George never married. But they laughed anyway. Even at that age I got the idea. I was about 9.

Two brilliant men, in a brilliant sketch.

@Jaochai Gay shmay! What does it matter? It's just funny. Two fat guys, well dressed in an English Club of staid members playing it s t r a i g h t as they recall a fallen member. That doesn't seem as if it would be funny at all, but the timing of these two actors with all their props, particularly with the Dom-character smoking the cigar and not the great Orson Welles, makes this priceless and as subtle as mince pie.

I had to watch this one again.. a classic.

In case there was any doubt . . .
Orson Welles and the other guy are dancing around the fact that their dead friend was a closeted homosexual.
Good to see Orson looking as if he was having fun ad enjoying himself.
