Dave Allen - Banks And Shopping - 1993 - Part 1

Banks And Shopping - This was first shown in 1993/94 on ITV.

[@martinwilliams2556]

Surely one of the greatest comedians to have lived. No gimmicks. No shock value. No 'edgy' stuff for the sake of it. Just sheer bloody talent. He was brilliant.

[@corbeau-_-]

I just found out about him today, but also that he passed in 2005. Bitter sweet. Just came from him talking about the garden of eden.

[@carolinebishop681]

Saw him live in Plymouth years ago He was brilliant. No support act, no props, just him and his genius.

[@marysepradet6162]

you are so lucky .. would give anything for having seen him on stage , I think some people should never die !

[@boeingdriver29]

I know it’s old but it’s also timeless like Dave.......”Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank, give a man a bank and he can rob the world “.

[@iriscollins7583]

I was approached, when queuing in a bank, by a young lady. Trying to get me to have a credit card, I said , No thanks, she said, you can buy anything on it and pay monthly, and only pay whatever percent a month, I replied with my voice a little louder, I would rather save up and buy what I want and pay No Interest. She looked at me with a look of incredulity on her face and moved on. One or two in the queue smiled.😀

@michaelkingsfordgrey. Why are you so obsessed by usernames? Have seen you have a go about it more than once. Not everyone is comfortable laying their lives out for the world to see and dig into

[@paulhirst7602]

I completely forgot how funny this guy was from when I was younger, until I saw this video. What a great comic he was.

Why can't we find comedians like this today?

[@vincentmckenna281]

Such a comedy genius, with timeless humour. Still so funny in 2020.

[@alanwareham7391]

Have you noticed they've closed all the post offices and moved them into places that you either need a chart and compass to find ,or the nearest parking is half a mile away then close what's left because they say that no one uses them .A truly brilliant comedian who is certainly up with the best of the best ,thank you for putting Dave on

Always appreciated Dave's humour ... original stuff

[@thedroid6462]

It was always exciting to see Dave Allen on the TV when I was a youngster and to be able to access his routines whenever I feel like it as an adult is such a pleasure. I remember him well, smoking, drinking whiskey, riffing about religion and introducing his sketches - on prime time TV.

[@mistaben2k]

He was a pleasure to be in front of the television with.

[@cliffjamesmusic]

One of the greatest comedians/story-tellers from back in the days when people really believed that banks lent money, whereas the amount you wanted to “borrow” was only created after you signed the commitment to pay them the amount; on top of which were fees and compound interest payments, the money for which was never created. This legalised extortion has created massive unpayable debt burdens and social disruption. Would have been great to have Dave Allen’s humour and wit with us today.

[@AKenny882]

😂 funny and truthful God bless you Dave Allen 💋

This was 15 years BEFORE the financial crash. Talk about prescient.

I was once told by a bank teller that I could do all the transactions I required at their automated bank machines. I replied “I’d sooner come to you guys and keep you all in a job.” She had no reply to that.

I’ve done the same for years and always wondered how they don’t see what they’re doing, sad really.
