To add to my comment below, The Land Of Green Ginger is a street in the old town area with many pubs and clubs, which in the days he was talking about, was heaving with punters. Narrow cobbled streets, not far off the docks, was always a haven for artists of many kinds, singers, comedians, bands, yes Hull buzzed in those days under very difficult circumstances, Norman Collier is from Hull and along with Spiders From Mars, The Beautiful South, and Fine Young Cannibals.

I'm from Hull and the story he tells is true. Trawler men came home, and they were home for 3 days before they were off again. And yes they drank into oblivion for the simple reason that they might not come home again, which many didn't, a thing to think of when you eat your fish and chips.
It was a rough life and during winter many a wife and kids didn't know if they would see their dad again once he went away. The clubs reflected reality and stayed open longer when a trawler came home.

@JapeUK you are absolutely right. i grew up in the 70's and it was an incredible time where all regions of the UK were an important part of the nations entertainment + media
.
very sad those days have gone, they were magical

1:25 - I haven't heard the word "stoned" as a euphemism for drunk on alcohol for decades. It's most often associated with smoking weed these days.

A Yorkshireman interviewing a Lancashireman for 16 unbroken minutes on the realities of comedy on prime time television. Speaking as a northerner born in 1989 who loves my adopted city of London, I'm nostalgic for an approach and a period I never even knew. When Les said there's no north-south divide it was probably truer in 1974 than in 2012, mediawise at least.

Does anybody find it hard to hear what exactly he is saying?

Listen to the last 5min. So true. Society today don't 'get' this type of humour.
The comics of today do not make me laugh at all. :(

Take it easy

@Crintingnut You are soooooo wrong. Parkinson enjoyed every minute and Les was and will remain in our hearts as great as he always was!
