[@cuddlybear4108]

Marvellous material here, thank you Chloe. Barry Cryer rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤

[@keithnaylor1981]

It would be great to see more of these, not so much for the jokes but to see the familiar faces.

Great upload, to think they were only in their 30's. Great funnymen. Gawd bless 'em.

Never thought much about Charlie Chester but his 21.00 bit was brilliant!

George Shearing used to love reciting that 'London' version of the Lord's Prayer from his piano at concerts. Saw him do that while performing with Mel Torme and the BBC Big Band at the RFH in 1990.

Also done in season 8 on Inside No. 9

Barry Cryer, Proof you can take the man out of yorkshire, but you never take yorkshire out of the man.

The two dolly birds didn’t make it to the screened series.

[@johnissoevil]

Each team had three jokers here. We had a different Joker's Wild here in the States, and 3 Jokers git you an instant win with one correct answer.

Was Ray Martine a comedian?

[@ysthafellgynghori8423]

He was more of a comedian than Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and Peter Kay ever were.

Rachel Riley's mum and auntie looking very lovely there. Didn't they know any jokes or were they just not sufficiently male and middle-aged to get a word in?

Why are the two women dressed in leotards?

[@finncullen]

They wouldn't allow nudity on TV in those days, and it's frankly wicked of you to expect them to

[@rayjennings3637]

@@finncullen Boy. Have you missed the target. Those women are only there for titivation! They don't have to be dressed like that at all. There's no reason on Earth - apart from the weird mind of the producer, that they should be dressed like that!

@@rayjennings3637 It's called a joke. Better material than most of the 'Comedians' in this show. Only Les Dawson shone through.
