I Love Keith Allen - Larry 'Ringside' Lewis - BSB 1990

Here's Keith Allen (Lily Allen's dad) in an clip from his 1990 series for BSB called 'I Love Keith Allen'. As I understand it, the original tapes of this series have been wiped. Enjoy this brief clip of one of Allen's funniest characters, Larry 'Ringside' Lewis. He's a former boxing commentator who's trying to hit the big time and become a household name on BSB. Sadly the channel didn't last above six months on the air before merging with Sky to form BSkyB. All the decent shows vanished overnight and we got wall-to-wall Simpsons and 21 Jump Street.

When we join Larry, he's at what he thinks is the Queen's garden party. It turns out to be the Chelsea Flower Show.

his documentaries are brilliant and I duno why he just doesnt get back on telly with his own series again instead of that crap robin hood thing.did he do the conservative party sketch as a character?

[retunerman]

Yes, he did the Conservative thing as Larry 'Ringside' Lewis. I never caught it on tape at the time, but it was so funny seeing these smart arses thinking they were being really clever and he was really sending them up and they couldn't see it. They walked right into his trap.

This is fucking amazing!!!!!!!

wheres the rest of it!!!!!!

keith allens a fucking god, hes HILARIOUS.

please Allen himself must have his series on tape!!!someone get in contact with him.

[retunerman]

I hope he has got them on tape. I'd have thought he must have his own copies on VHS. It seems a great shame that this show appears to have been wiped. I missed a few when they were on BSB. He did a great show where he went to some Conservative party bash and was taking the p*ss out of some young political wannabes who thought they were taking the p*ss out of him! I'd agree. Keith Allen is pure class.
