@@KBJ58 if as I suspect, you are the writer of the utter filth that permeated the radio 2 airwaves via Mr. Wogan then I for one would put you on a comedy pedestal with Barry. Your writing of Janet and John and Terry's timing and often breaking down when he saw what was coming next are a pure joy to the ears of every dirty minded listener. The fact that loads of people come onto KZbin and seek it out proves how much he is missed and how funny your material is. I hope you despair as much as I do about the pc brigade and their attitude to comedy. Britain was built on smut, innuendo and a saucy postcard type of humour and it's getting lost. Probably the only films I saw on telly over Christmas were the carry on films. I've seen them countless times but they're still funny. Anyway, a lovely tribute to Barry who's laugh was extremely infectious, especially on I'm sorry I haven't a clue. Keep up the good work if you're still working in the writing game - for fucks sake we need a laugh more than ever. All the best, Neil.

@@neilcurran1589 Thank you for those kind words. I couldn't bring myself to write the J&J stories for anyone else, so the smut was curtailed when Terry died. I think I'd used up the few remaining shreds of innuendo left over from ISIHAC. But I have some great memories of those golden days. I do however, tip my hat to the great Ian Pattinson who wrote much of Humph's lines. Slightly bizarrely, he used to work in the Lloyds building too. Must be something in the water...

The Nevile Shute joke is without doubt one of the most perfect comedy moments in radio history. It’s form, delivery and reaction are just perfect. Everything comes together in millisecond timing. Also, the fact that this comedy moment would be almost impossible and too complicated to explain to , say, an American and yet, it’s genius is it’s simplicity. You cannot predict the punchline till it lands. I confess to never have heard of Mr Shute, but will never forget him now. The genius of Iain Pattison, the masterly delivery of Lyttleton, everything falls into place.

100% agree. It's astonishingly puerile, brilliantly orchestrated, perfectly delivered and jaw-droppingly filthy. The waves of audience laughter, as the double meaning (no! surely not!) sinks in is almost as funny as the joke itself.

I heard a showbiz joke about Lionel Blair. Apparently he was on his way to a performance one day and his care broke down. As he was by a canal and there was no traffic he hitched a lift on a passing barge. Grateful for the lift he gets talking to the barge owner who explained that he was on his way carrying ten tons of household waste. Approaching a lock, the lock keeper shouts to the barge captain as to what he was carrying. The reply was "Ten tons of shit and Lionel Blair!". This happened through several locks, when finally Lionel says to the barge captain "Is there any chance I could have top billing for a change......"

Thank you so much for this and other compilations. My joy in hearing Humph deliver these line with impeccable insouciance is only tempered by a little sadness that if this were to be introduced today he would be cancelled for hate rather than applauded for joy.

The current presenter, Jack Dee, has continued this right up to the present day. Nobody has 'cancelled' a single thing about him You are just hijacking a recent death to vomit forth some nonsense about 'cancel culture' because you think recent deaths = people taking any notice of your nonsense. Shame on you.

@@davidice1 To be fair, Jack Dee didn't make jokes about his sexuality - that's changed, and that's something that would absolutely NOT be allowed today.
@dickyr32952 жыл бұрын
@@davidice1 The only person here vomiting bile seems to be you. I stand by my view because for all of Jack Dee's brilliance in the role he does not mention his sexuality in the same tone. Imagine him referring every week to Eddie Izzard's dress or gender or Sam Smith's non-binary identity. Both are as deserving of mockery as every other aspect of life but you know that cancellation would be the inevitable result of such an approach. Now I would love to hear what you think about that without the nastiness that pervaded your first post. Keep it civil or keep it quiet is pretty much what I'm saying.

Thank you for all the work you put into these compilations. May I suggest that your next project be The Complete Introductions --- from "You join us this week...." to "Let's meet the teams". Writer Iain Pattinson created a series of brilliant short descriptions of each town, some of which ended up as the book compilation "Lyttelton's Britain". Worthy of Wodehouse!

Made me laugh every time. Having read Lionel Blair's obit recently, the constant innuendo affected his family and his children were bullied due to it. I felt a bit guilty TBH.

@iwasglad1228 ай бұрын
Well, I'm sure that if Blair's agent had made a complaint to the BBC, the innuendos would have have been stopped. ISIHAC was only meant to be comedic. It was never their aim to be cruel. I can't for one minute believe the team would countenance the continuance of the jokes had they KNOWN offence was being caused. Comedians yes, but also gentlemen - each and every one of them. RIP WR, HL, JH, TBT and BC.
