The best of Dick Emery

[@iap-ug3oy]

I met Dick Emery over 60 years ago when he was appearing at the Manchester Hippodrome , I was working in the box office .What a very nice man he was…I miss all these fabulous comedians…

[@BluebirdFrank]

Wonderful childhood memories of the Dick Emery show and other classics I loved the seventies feel so lucky to have had a proper upbringing where you could just laugh at life in all its absurdity

@@yvetterock2728yea I think the TV companies struggle to get either one of them to make new content. Especially Dick. He’s just lazy I think. #eyeroll.

Used to watch the Dick Emery Show with my beloved grandad. We would to roar with laughter together. Not sure if I understood what I was laughing at, but seeing my grandad doubled up was enough for me 😂😂😂

I remember watching this show with my mum and dad back in the 1970s it was great Saturday night entertainment,

[@paulw6057]

Yep, the theme music alone brings back memories of anticipation. It's a pity they haven't brought out a decent set of individual episodes/series on DVD, the same with Dave Allen.

[@ross8474]

It was so much better back then .There was no political correctness then .One had freedom of speech where as one has not no more .One did not have to put up with everyday talk with gay issues and Black people issues everyday .And we had funny comedy on tv .Now it's more like people talking about there issues everyday all the time and its becoming to much and over bearing on everyday life

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

[@garywinkworth3380]

what an absloute legend good old fashioned humour. him benny hill and a host of others untill the world went mad.

[@redstar1223]

For the time his humour was not overtly misogynistic like for example Benny Hill. His characters were very gentle stereotypes. Clarence as an example did not criticise homosexuality. Rather he was portrayed care free and in an affectionate way. Considering the peer pressure to be overtly offensive he crafted much loved characters that could generally be seen - even today as on the right side of political correctness. Dick Emery was a staunch Socialist who as well as giving vast amounts to charity, organised charitable events with his showbiz friends. He was no angel in his private life I accept. Who is lol A genius x
