[@frankplatt323]

Hannah Gordon was so beautiful, my teenage years were spent dreaming about her. I always wanted to marry her and then go live in Paris happy ever after. Neither ever happened. How, life, how could you be so cruel?

[@gaskellr44]

And I was hoping for a happy ending.

[@stevenmorley1639]

I would definitely liked a happy ending with Hannah in the day , hehehe....

God, I love that sketch. It doesn't matter if I'm watching him in Steptoe and Son, A Clockwork Orange, Schalcken the Painter or Barnaby Rudge, my mind always wanders to him dancing awkwardly as Ben Elton asks if he's getting down. He also had a nice little cameo in the Comic Strip Presents episode The Bullshitters, in which he delivers the memorable line "He's nothing but a work-shy, pinko, shit-stirring bastard".

[@sleepingdragonsstir7737]

Take the woke and so-called offence out of entertainment, this is what you get.

[@EnglishMike]

So it's okay to call black people a highly racist term because it's not woke? I'm a lifelong fan of Morecambe and Wise, but your comment is ridiculous. First of all, the comedy of their day was far more censored by the BBC than it is today, even with the occasionally blatant racist and sexist line in there. Secondly, they would certainly have been mortified by those lines if they'd still been around today, especially the racist term (which was also used in Dad's Army multiple times back in the day). Yes, it was a different time, but there's a good reason why such jokes aren't shown today on TV -- because we know better now. It's the same reason why shows like the Black and White Minstrel Show and On the Buses won't ever see the light of day again. But, fortunately, the 99% of the Morecambe and Wise shows are just as watchable today as they were back them. Good comedy is timeless. But, by all means keep whining about wokeness, if you like...
