what’s lovely is he finds the human response funny , which it is. he throws it back ❤ excellent sense of humour in adversity ❤

[@ChazDavenport-q2d]

When he introduced Hans, his German soldier friend who he took to lunch there was a genuine look of affection on Spike’s face. Beauty amongst the superb and hilarious story telling.

Oh don’t, it’s so depressing…… Now there is no comedy just woke in case someone is offended 🙄

[@RWBHere]

@@jcw9539 They go for the lowest common denominator - gutter humour - instead of aiming high. Some comedians are deluded into thinking that the audience is laughing at their humour. But very often they are not; it's simply a shock response. I either walk out or switch off, whichever is quickest. But I can listen to the Goons (from almost 70 years ago. Yikes!), or just Milligan, for hours.

[@petertoal371]

Incredibly funny man and one of my favourites as a child growing up, listening to the goon show on the radio. I was born in 1943 and was lucky enough not to have been subjected to some of the horrors that Spike experienced. I listened to war stories being told by my aunties and uncle and of course my wonderful grandma. Spike has a brilliant way of telling stories in such a humorous way, however, by stating the true facts, you can tell that it wouldn't have been funny at the time. So many famous fans in the audiences says it all. He was revered by many.

[@jimfell7147]

Very funny.

[@787Speedbrakes]

Spike used to read his poems to us back in the mid-late ‘80s at my primary school in Winchelsea. We had no idea who he was of course, just an old man who used to say silly words and make funny voices. In my late teens I remember driving up the very narrow lane near Spikes house, to see him walking down it - still wearing his slippers! Shame they never let him have his headstone engraved how he wanted it…. “I told you I was ill.” Not been to Winchelsea Church in over 20 years but I believe it’s in Latin instead.

[@GarGri]

@@787Speedbrakes it’s actually written in Gaelic. Spike was refused a British passport because he and his father were both born in India. There’s a joke great says he sued a newspaper/magazine that called him a “stupid, English, bastard” on the grounds he wasn’t English. Brilliant way of getting his revenge as it’s easier to prove his nationality than his intelligence or legitimacy.

[@xgreenjacket]

Yes I believe it’s written in French instead.

[@christophernye1970]

Spike wasn't your standard comedian, he didn't tell jokes. Bob Monkhouse was one of the best comedians, a great joke teller. Bob was also a great raconteur, he was able to make his life story interesting and funny. That is what we hear when listening to one of Spikes anecdotes, real stories told in an amusing way. I can listen to Millican, Monkhouse, Ustinov or Niven for hours, humour often bourn out of adversity. Could it be that today's so called celebraties have led such safe, boring lives, that they have nothing of interest to say?
