Dave was a genius. I’m a Roman Catholic and I come from Very religious family, but we would sit down and watch his show every single week. We never took offence to anything he did. He was truly loved by everyone. A master at work. Yes his own show went on for years because he was so popular and loved. He was a wonderful human being and we miss him so much.The Dave Allen show was on British tv every weekend for many years. Great Reaction from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😂😂😂😇😇🙏🙏

Dave was an absolute dude. Years ahead of his time for an Irishman, the church had absolute power back then in Ireland. Try to find a BBC documentary about his family and private life. He seems to be a fantastic dad and friend, a real original thinker that feared no one.

He had a comedy/talk show called "Tonight with Dave Allen" in '67. "The Dave Allen Show" was broadcast in 1968. At Large started in '71. Before that he had an Australian show also called "Tonight with Dave Allen" in 1963. It was banned after 6 months after he told the show's producer, who was pressing him to go to an ad break, to "go away and masturbate" :-)

Oh, I used to watch this as a teenager with my adored dad, just he and I, laughing our butts off. He was a very successful businessman and a bit of a workaholic so those times are precious to me, always was a daddy’s girl from a toddler. He died in December 2022 in another state, I didn’t get to see him and our stepmother didn’t even tell us where his body was. No funeral, no nothing. I had been so close to him for so long, and at 62 he left me. Broke my heart. Thank you dad for the love of British comedy that you gave to me and which your grandson also adores. He has a large collection thanks to you. Miss you dad, and laughing together.

Dave Allen made several tv shows in Australia and was popular there. Once, upon returning to the UK, Dave said that the Australians were very a nice and generous people. They would invite you into their home. Welcome you in and serve refreshments. Lovely people. "It's the white ones you got to watch out for" Dave said.

Dave Allen had a number of TV programmes/shows: "Tonight With Dave Allen" 1967, "The Dave Allen Show" 1968, "Dave Allen at Large" 1971, "The Dave Allen Show in Australia " 1975-77, "Dave Allen's Summer People" 1976 U.S.A., "Dave Allen Live: On Life" 2021. He's also been a guest on many other shows since the early '60s. His own shows were a mixture of stand up (often sit down in his case) and sketches.

A bar stool, a drink, a cigaret and an hour of Dave Allen every Saturday in the 70's. He rewrote the rulebook for British censorship...and actually, there is one sketch, where he crams all the swearwords he can think of, as a response of some complaints of Dave saying "fuck" in a previous show. Found the clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anrJoIiDa8ZnmKM

Yeah, I remember him flicking the cigarette ash from his trouser leg as he took another swig from his clearly meant to be alcoholic drink. Sadly, a negative role model for me when I secretly started smoking at the end of the 70s. I too am an atheist, otherwise would love to meet him from a chat, smoke and a drink “upstairs” ….

Through the 1960s Dave appeared on other people's shows in Britain, South Africa and Australia, but from the late sixties he was almost always on his own show. They tended to be late evening and consisted of his sit down comedy story telling, with skits, usually visual with little or no dialogue to break it up. The clips where he looks younger were from the seventies from his BBC show Dave Allen at Large. He was less seen in the eighties but returned in the nineties first at the BBC and finally on ITV. He essentially retired in 1997 and died in 2005 aged 68.

@christinamcconnell5416 3 ай бұрын

As a girl from Tyrone I remember black and white TV back in the 70s. My family was very Catholic yet I remember one night watching him on TV with my parents. He told a story about boys in a Catholic cemetery. He told it for at least 20minutes, then he said the punch line. We all laughed old and young. He was a genius but I preferred him on the stool with his cigarette than the skits he did later.

I watched Dave Allen on TV in New Zealand when I was a teenager, family and I never missed a show. His shows were always (as we saw them anyway) on stage with him sitting in his chair in front of a live studio audience and filmed for TV, and inserted with skits he filmed through the week. There was NO swearing on TV in those days.

Dave Allen had his own shows in the UK and he came out here to Australia for several seasons. He was kicked out of the catholic church.

He was an absolute legend, he had his own show for years, I still remember watching it in the 70's, it was one of those shows the whole family would watch together and wouldn't miss, he always seemed a bit more cutting edge than most other comics at the time too, then 'Alternative Comedy' first appeared on TV in 1982 with the show 'The Young Ones' starring Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson from Bottom which you love, and that changed the comedy landscape in the UK overnight, alternative comedy as it was coined started in the Comedy Store in London and involved a large circle of comics who went on to make a long running series of films together which were hilarious, the series was called 'The Comic Strip Presents', I have the DVD boxset which has 39 films on it, would be great to see you react to one!

Dave Allen at Large was the tv show ha did on the BBC. He was taken off the air, by the BBC in 1990 for "offensive language" in broadcasting, for a joke. "You wake to the clock, you go to work to the clock, you clock-in to the clock, you clock out to the clock, you come home to the clock, you eat to the clock, you drink to the clock, you go to bed to the clock, you get up to the clock, you go back to work to the clock... You do that for forty years of your life and you retire - what do they fucking give you? A clock!" That was a time when you were not allowed to use fowl language on TV. Allen was known for satirising of religious ritual, especially Catholic ones, every week in his shows, you could of powered the whole of the UK for a day, from the Catholic's crossing themselves when he was on the air on a Saturday night, so much conectic energy was created.

The village with Inn and pond featured in the funeral sketch isn't Irish at all, it's English: Aldbury in Hertfordshire. It was a popular TV location from the 1960s onwards, most notably for the surreal spy series 'The Avengers' (most famously "Murdersville"). It is surprisingly little changed even today as a visit via Google maps will confirm.
