Sick Stavros Friday Night Live

80's COMEDY CLASSIC: Stavros (Harry Enfield) the Kebab Shop owner, is very ill. I am suprised that this isn't already on KZbin. From ben Elton's "Friday Night Live".

[@ChuffingNorah]

I actually knew the real character who Stavros was based upon. He had a small Kebab shop on Mare Street in Hackney, and spoke that strange mixture of Cockney & Greek. This was around 1979. Paul Whitehouse worked at Hackney Council just up the road, not far from the shop. Strange but True.

Real

Stavros was Harry's best ever character. What a genius Paul Whitehouse is.

[@shaunatkinson6370]

Very funny indeed. This was one of the best Harry Enfield characters ever. Classic !!

Great squad that was back in the day brings back memories of how I became an Arsenal fan

[@rajnirvan3336]

That Arsenal poster is when beat Liverpool 2-1 Littlewoods Cup Final 1987

Absolutely brilliant Harry Enfield.

[@chrisst8922]

Such a good programme. I saw the one off they did last year. Just as good. That's what happens when you keep the same producer and cast.

[@daveshaw2342]

Great stuff . Wouldnt be allowed to be made now...

[@peterdacatplayz4894]

My dad showed me this I bet I'm the only young person who's watching this

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Brilliant

[@davidwalters6985]

[@samhyde6395]

Where's Nick and Adam?

[@gowmitch069]

2020 NHS still hasn't changed

[@enoz.j3506]

2024, even worse.

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

The same things have been said about it longer than I've been alive (48) so why people keep believing the bullshit that it's underfunded. It's piss poorly run by the bureaucrats and always has been. Too many vested interests with their own little empires milking it and deliberately stopping it from working

[@carpypark]

Or is it Andy Linighan?

[@gigitv736]

Sonny with a chance did this too!

[@kenspinozastone7195]

I got called a stavros today by my mixed race girlfriend (I'm cypriot), I didn't really know what it meant until I watched this, It's funny but in an inexplicable way I also found it offensive.

[@katymay6171]

It's offensive because British Greek Cypriots have lived with erasure, and are objects of fun and stereotypes. They have faced lots of challenges since the 1950's when many came to the UK, but are seen (along with British Greeks, as feckless, 'hot-blooded' or duplicitous depending on gender and age).

[@conradmason87]

No sound... probably for the best.

[@7DeeDub2]

Bloody awful, can't believe I used to find this crap funny in the 80's, best bit about this vid was the reminder of Kenneth Williams.

[@misst.e.a.187]

Crikey, mate, you've mislaid your funny! 🤔😄
