I had similar problems with socks as a kid - and still do now at nearly 60! My mother used to use elastic bands on my socks - and often put ankle socks on me - they are called ankle socks for a reason - they didn’t go above the ankles - often came off my feet altogether and I often found them inside of my shoes - as to kecks (trousers), they were also several sizes too big and often had me wearing belts that never lasted long or braces that made me walk like a chimpanzee! Blame that on all that PG Tips!

Dave Allen was simply at his very best during the 1990’s here when ITV just let him run free on this show with far fewer restrictions than when he was with the stuffy BBC, which I feel during his time with them didn’t properly let him showcase just how funny he could actually be. For me the 90’s was his true golden era. Best stand up comedian ever.
