Dave Allen ITV 1993 Episode 7 Extended

If you liked this video please take a look at my latest blog tinyurl.com/39...
This is the 7th and final episode from Dave Allen's 1993 show on ITV, which aside from the 1994 Christmas special in the same theme and design as this show, sadly marked his final stand up work.
His final work also represented some of his best work, being as controversial as ever.
In this extended episode, Dave talks about things that cause stress and irritation, generally focusing on the service sector of supermarkets, post offices, banks, doctors and dentists.
For some hitherto unknown reason, this episode was trimmed down with material from this, spliced with the 1st episode of the series removing jibes about the Queen and John Major, possibly as the regional networks thought it might be too controversial, if anyone knows or suspects why please post it down in the comments.
Regardless here is the full version of the final show, which is my personal favourite of all as every bit of this is still relatable today, nearly 30 years later.

I'm sorry but there's a bunch of us here watching Dave, and the thing is if you're Irish especially Dublin you could relate to everything he's says because it all really happens, the supermarket, now that's a thing we all went through,he didn't need to make up his material because he lived it, just as we did.but he made a horrible day at Tesco sound like he knew exactly what you went through that day, because you did, for real,as I said he told the truth about everything,as anyone who is Irish were there time and time again I, we've got to have a Dave Allen day,can yea just imagine that? all hell breaking loose, kidding,by mate,johnser ☘️🥃

R.i.p mr.allen one of our own and one of the best Irish comic's by far sorry spike ur second😂

[@borleyboo5613]

My most favourite comedian ever! Much loved and missed.

[@Val-xj6lk]

Iv known Dave my whole life,we lived together for a time,I never saw any major difference between his work and and his life,I love this country but it's slightly quieter without davie.our time together was a mixture of laughter and a fear of not being able to make people laugh, but of course that never happened,we would sit and paint all evening, go inside, he'd kiss me and read through most nights,we could walk around the town all day,as every ten minutes he'd be engrossed with everyone,never failed.a beautiful soul and one hell of a man,in every way, every single way😉

[@jenniferwells9032]

He is so fantastic 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@solitairestarr5516]

Sometimes I wish my asthma was better controlled - because Dave will have me laughing so much that I can hardly stop coughing!! He is a much loved gem in the realm of memory and dreams. Thank you for posting these videos.

[@frankowalker4662]

Same, I have to keep pausin it until I recover. LOL.

[@drawbardave6591]

Thanks so much for uploading. Dave is a legend!

[@moonshinesa8234]

The veterinarian, who looked after my animals, used to work in the UK. The Allens were clients of his employer. He told me that Dave was just as funny off the stage and that his wife was even funnier. When they used to bring one of their pets into the vets they used to have everyone in stitches. That’s a gift.

[@bripeel4828]

Best comedian ever

[@sheilaseitz9711]

Had a little tear when he said “and for the last time, may your God go with you.” Loved watching him in the 70s with my dad and never tire of watching him now. A comic genius!

[@SandraDyson-c5e]

What a brilliant man can watch him over and over missed so much ❤

[@8888-9]

Saturday Evenings in Denmark snowing outside, gathered by the TV as the music started the chair spot lighted, and Dave Allen appears. Was one of the best nights of the week for an 11 year old. Am sad he did not live longer than his late 60's very early 70's.

[@ibjensen8626]

I'm from Denmark too. I was too young to understand what he was saying but he made my parents laugh a lot Susan

[@moutsee]

the best and funniest I know, love him

"We're all being manipulated". How prophetic.

Only a few know this!

[@deniseeastaugh9757]

One of the best

[@partyflockske]

Never knew Dave Allen, he was already on TV when i got born, now i'm binchwatching his material. He was a really keen observer and when i see this, he was well ahead of his time. He saw things that are now still very current. These show light up these days.. where everything changed in a couple of years... ( and not for the better )

[@dtb4394]

21:44 His expression and voice is priceless, genius and oh so true. Tears of laughter here.

[@kadzunk63]

Dave Allen may have been ahead of his time but that's a good thing... because if he were from THIS time we'd never have seen him on TV because he'd be in jail (or undergoing therapy)

[@sealyoness]

There were a lot of things that could be shown on TV that can't be shown now. It's odd that a congresswoman can show a vicarious view purportedly of the president's son on the House floor, but risque jokes and puns are frowned on. And sadly, variety shows too.

[@Val-xj6lk]

I put this up weeks ago,I wanted the world to see a genius at work,I love comedy,I'd smile 🙂, but Davie makes my day hurt, crying with serious laughter and some times I couldn't stop the bodial moves I'd make, he was the best and still is the greatest,this man made me laugh,, and I have never been able to laugh at any other comic,he was just bang on, miss you Dave,I hope you're with god, 🙏 oh Dave that's right you were an atheist, just kidding 😂 I'm sure god is laughing with you right now,love you so much and miss you like crazy, valerie ☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️

[@sealyoness]

God probably brought the pints.

[@davidanderson9043]

Such clever comedy. So funny and hats off to comedians who have everyone in fits of laughter without swearing.

[@samanthafox2664]

A true and honest comedian that told it like it was, without apology. What a legend. Thanks for the laughs Dave and RIP (with a very large glass of whiskey) x

[@sylviamills631]

Yes,he made laughter on every day of every experience of every human living In this world

[@jenniferwells9032]

Comedy genius

[@Val-xj6lk]

Ah there he is , the funniest Irish man who ever lived, my lovely Davie,he said it like it was,our backgrounds so much alike.a handsome,and very wise man and if you were brought up in those times, you will identify with everything he says,as it was bang on,yea even the church, very very true.miss you Davie,have one for me up there,I'm sure god understands your humour, you were kind, so handsome and so bloody funny,r.i.p Pal, missing yes love valerie ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️❤️

[@sealyoness]

He was a grand fine joke and story teller. There is another who left stand-up comedy and writes some of the funniest and profound books - Caimh Mcdonnell. Wish I'd seen him in person so I could compare their brands of humor.

[@peterfranks6243]

The original and still the best alternative comedian, and as a fellow Dub' he was my favourite comic. The Dean Martin of comedy

[@mandyjourneaux6552]

very very funny!

[@robertjoynes5990]

very funny man =may your god go with you

[@easystar123]

Absolute genius. I love Dave Allen. My favourite comedian of all time. When I was a boy of nine years of age I'd watch Dave At Large every Monday night. That was 1972. I'm now 61 in 2024 and I still love this man.

[@ruthecker399]

Every time i watch him,he makes me cry...with laughter.

[@captainmoretokin2172]

Funny guy.

[@sealyoness]

Sadly, I had to watch Dave Allen along with my cat; husband working, and it was on PBS when I was a young adult. He was so funny. I learned my first priest joke from him.

[@Tara-TJ-007]

[@johnrowley3721]

I gotta say, I’m not used to seeing Dave standing up to do his comedy!! 😁👍

Went in one day for tights, got to the area, what do I find,? Socks for babies 12 to 18 months, they are'nt much use for a night out are they, especially when my baby is 35 years old!!!!!!!

[@7Network]

In England we got 7 x 30 minute editions, the extra here was from a different edtition, and you can noticeably see the joins so not sure where the extended folklore comes from

[@sonadagothalus]

If you look at Episode 1 (also uploaded) this is the full 30 minute episode where his suit and hair match. For whatever reason some of the footage from Episode 7 was trimmed down and replaced some of the footage in Episode 1, but you can see his suit and hair don't match, beyond being a black suit. Whatever way you view it, there are 6 regular length episodes and 1 much longer final episode being this one. No need to try to quibble claiming there is some duplication of footage going on.

[@7Network]

@@sonadagothalus the extras in this ep 7 have already been screened - i recorded all 7 editions, any thing extra in "7/7" had already been shown - there is the need to "quibble"

[@sonadagothalus]

@@7Network ok, please highlight from the other 6 episodes, which one contains the same footage as this because I am not sure I understand what point you are trying to make?

[@redblade8160]

I used to think that Dave Allen was a very funny comedian, but now he just bores me to sleep! His jokes and sketches are very tame (childlike).

[@kadzunk63]

Appearantly you have quite a different sleeping routine than the rest of us. But of course we're all allowed to have our own opinion... Stay safe my friend
