Dear god I love this man, Dave Allen was my most favourite comedians when I was a child. He still can mesmerise me in these stories. I love the way he pulls you ever so slowly into his web of horror, only to throw in an hilarious ending and we’d roar with laughter. Dave Allen you will always be in my heart. I loved your stories, skits and witty humour. Hearing them again I still roar with laughter. Thank you for your talent and the fondest of memories. God bless you. I bet you’re making them laugh in heaven. They are lucky to have you.

"The Bloody Chamber" - Angela Carter. This is also a very famous 'fable' that is tweaked to fit the chosen scenario. This all comes from the fable of 'Bluebeard', but is merely an extension of the biblical understanding of women as 'temptresses', who are responsible for ALL men philandering from their 'frigid' wives, and who, therefore, must be punished over-and-over-again for their.....being born? Anyway, kudos to Allen for telling the story, and leaving it grim, and open to interpretation. Wonderful story telling, from a wonderful talent.

The woman! It's the curiosity of one's own fate. That's why it's the women through out history how were and still are fortune tellers, especially the Gypsies. I know because of my Gypsy ancestry. The witch of Endor in the book of Samuel shows God's displeasure, of trying to find out his programme into future time of cause and effect and the tale told by the late and great comedian is like a modern version of what happens with medaling curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat! Maybe that's why we call women Pussy Cats.
