I keep forgetting to press like on these Dave Allen sketches, so just to show my love for the man, I love all of them. There, I don't have to worry if I miss some. I have said before, this man is probably the first comedian to make me laugh at him and at myself. Most of his comedy I relate to and that honestly brings back memories of my younger and recent years that I can now laugh at. Wish you were still with us old chum. 👍🏻🇦🇺😢 and 🤣🤣.

Dave Allen - the greatest ever, think he needs recognition in this day because boy do we really need to see the truth and laugh about it now more than ever. If someone in the producing world has any sense they will bring back a series on showing him from his young years right through - but not a 1 hr programme but a good showing - someone make it happen!
