Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
One of the funniest and cleverest comics ever. He was satirical but it was a gentler form of satire. Who can ever forget his "pope" who spoke like a maffia gangster? I adored him in his hay-day. RIP indeed.

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
 So sad to hear of this.Very appropriate sentiment Uncle Mick.  I loved his zany sense of humour and he didn't mind poking a bit of gentle fun at himself into the bargain.

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
Have to agree with you all, used to love watching his shows. Hope they repeat them, if the pc brigade don't step in.

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
He had both his thumbs, Chav. It was the top of his index finger he was missing. He told a very funny story about how he lost it - all to do with his dad chopping a log and him putting his finger on it etc. I'm quite sure he made it up but it was a good tale.

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
One of the funniest men ever - and, unusually for a comedian, VERY VERY sexy!

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
I liked Dave Allen as well,he was funny and it was a shame that he as not been on our screens for many years,may his God go with him. I hope the BBC will do a tribute show.

Re: Memories of youth. Dave Allen RIP.
Remember my Dad saying "watch this chap Linds,he's funny!" and I was dubious because at the time I didn't rate Dad's other faves;Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper.Thankfully I sat and watched and loved it !
I think when you are young some humour just doesn't appeal though I like both the aforementioned now! {still can't abide frank Spencer though!**
