Classic TV moments
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just watched Dame Shirley Bassey on the Morecambe and Wise Show in 1971.
It's one of those classic TV moments that never fails to make me (Mrs KC) laugh, no matter how many times I see it! What a wonderful sport she was AND she didn't miss a note 
How about you? What's your favourite TV moment from yesteryear? |

"Two Ronnie's 4 candles sketch  "
Straight in with the right answer. I'll have to nominate the Does God Exist sketch by Not the Nine O'Clock News. Failing that the Alas Smith & Jones Customs sketch. |

‘Fignon is bouncing off the barriers here. He’s lost the Tour de France! The crowd has realised it… Laurent Fignon has lost the Tour de France right on the line. Eight seconds. Can you believe it?’ Phil Ligget, Paris 1989
8 seconds in July. The only day the Tour de France was to be contested on the final day and it will never be repeated.
This was down to tri-bars a complete game changer. |

Blackadder Goes Forth, final scene. Caught me completely by surprise, and the room was quite dusty.
Happier moments were 4 Candles, Morecambe & Wise with Andre Previn, Monty Python's parrot sketch, Victoria Wood Ballad of Barry & Freda.
So many.. |

Blackadder Goes Forth.
I've got the boxset and the commentary explains how the final scene, where they go over the top ended not as a classic, but as a damp squib.
That is, until they slowed it down, made it fade to white, slow down the them tune, turned it to silence, then shown The Somme in monochrome and slowly bring it back to life with colour and bird song.
Comedy had become philosophical.
Comedy is the highest form of inteligence. Edward de Bono.
