Ke1t Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Before the internet, cable, satellite, HULU, and PS5 the primary form of entertainment seemed to be variety... and it was shit. Imagine having to sit through this shite, waiting for the internet to be invented. Four Beasts and a Midget. Sounds terrific. Isn't. Link to comment

YorkDon Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 At least there wasn’t shite like TOWIE etc. It was good honest shite back then, and no dayglo orange talentless wannabes like Gemma Collins and Rylan Clarke. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Cannon and Ball were so bad I remember literally sobbing with hate at them as a kid. My folks thought they were hilarious, and would roar with laughter any time the mentally deficient one with the perm said his catchphrase, "Rock on, Tommy!" Their jokes were pish, their variety act songs had no place in the modern era, and nothing about them was even mildly amusing... yet they were, at one time, probably the biggest 'comedy' act in Britain. It was surreal and bizarre and baffling. Like a fucking Twilight Zone episode. Link to comment

Poodler Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Is Blackadder actually funny though or is it just funny because everyone says it is? It’s like blasphemy to nae like it in Blighty I’ve only ever seen a couple of clips on YouTube, more than enough Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Good old entertainment? Rising Damp, Minder, Classic Corrie (although it's getting too far on now for my liking, should start again in 84 or so) Link to comment
