Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
He has never been funny at all and should have been done under the trades description act for calling himself a comedian.
when my oldest son was a toddler - this is 16 or 17 years ago now - I tried various things to calm him down when he was going bonkers in the car. For some reason I tried and succeeded with singing the theme tune from 'Mum. So, for a long time it became a family favourite singalong ( and mercifully brief) so my two sons are very familiar with the theme choon but never seen the programme. Although, TBH, I never found it that funny in the first place. Oh, also makes a good song for testing mic levels!
I presume some people did find some of this offensive at the time.
I had a conversation at work once about Mind Your Language, often regarded as the most offensive show by modern standards due to the racial stereotypes. Interesting that a Sikh woman I worked with said it was her family's favourite show as it was the only show with Asian actors.
My other pet old show that looks different now is The Goodies, full of innuendo which completely passed me by at the time.
Ricky Gervais's humour fell off a cliff once The Office was over.
Have I Got News For You - used to be 'must watch' TV 20 years ago; post Angus Deayton, dull as ditch water.
Most comedy is made for the moment, and most comedians have a moment. In the old days of music hall and the early days of alternative comedy many acts would not want to appear on film or telly as it would mean that their act, played nightly for years with little new material but played in the main toaudiences who had never seen it before, would expire all too quickly.
The need to contstantly refresh material can kill a talent.
