Dave Allen ITV 1993 Episode 5

If you liked this video please take a look at my latest blog tinyurl.com/39...
This is the 5th episode from Dave Allen's 1993 show on ITV, which aside from the 1994 Christmas special in the same theme and design as this show, sadly marked his final stand up work.
His final work also represented some of his best work, being as controversial as ever.
In this episode Dave talks about the stress and tribulations with driving and cars, with the new technology and automated messages in cars, something that has aged perfectly with all of the advances in recent years still making this relatable in 2022 almost 30 years later.

Sad... Only 143 likes for the TAMOCOAT! Sorry, I just made up that abbreviation 😁It means The Absolute Master Of Comedy Of All Times! He was just SO brilliant! I saw his earlier shows when they were on TV in Holland. I don't know what year(s) were broadcasted but it must have been from the "At Large" shows. At that time I was probably in my teens and my English was wobbly at best I didn't get most of the jokes. When I asked my mother she was no help because her English was even worse than mine, and she didn't really like his jokes on religion. She wasn't church-going but was raised by VERY strict parents. And subtitles were not as good as they are now, so I missed a lot. But I loved to watch anyway. He was a very good looking man (I say now that I am 60) and might have earned himself a small fortune. Not just because of the shows, but because of all the very realistic sound effects he could do. Just my humble opinion. Btw I do remember one particular part. I've recently re-watched it as part of the "At Large" shows. It's were he talks about a priest saying "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost" and that he, as a kid heard "In the name of The Father, the Son, and in the hole he goes". I understood something similar when I was a child. In Dutch it goes: "In de naam van de Vader, de Zoon, en de Heilige Geest" where Heilige Geest means Holy Ghost. As a child I understood "en de Heilige Geest" (and the Holy Ghost) as "en het Heilige Beest" (and the Holy Beast) Thank you so much for uploading this treasure trove! Only 2 more to go... *sniff* Btw I kind of miss the Irish drunk jokes but that is what I remember him from. Silly me :)

How's that, mate? If you're saying that Dave Allen is riotously funny and a most ingenious, inventive and clever comedian and story teller, then I heartily agree with you!

This bloke must be writing 11th. or 12.th. century Anglo Saxon or perhaps the Old Norse Viking tongue!
