Les Dawson , featuring , Joe Brown , Angela Rippon , Victor Kiam , Ellie Laine , Charlie Daze , Nerys Hughes. First broadcast on Friday 4th December 1987
What a great comedian, absolutely hilarious. My favourite comic, still greatly missed after nearly thirty year's after his death. Loved how he disses the prizes, BBC at it's best 🤣😂
Come back Les, you are sorely missed. What a good sport the young Scottish lass was, really pretty too, a real laugh and comfortable enough in her own skin to get her teeth out on national tele, you wont see a girl do that with today's fish lipped, botox faced excuses.
They don’t produce comedians like Les anymore ..... a great shame this type of humour is no more .... these days they have to be smutty and swear for laughs
@@1ATV Sandra, a great contestant with a lovely laugh. I recall one show with Les discussing working mens clubs with Roy B. "If they liked your act, they didn't clap they let you live!". Classic Les.
I love CZcams so much sometimes, ironically, I'm not sure I'd be able to deal with the modern TV world so much without it on many occasions, even though in so many ways it is a large part of the proliferation of diluted content.
To be a true gameshow how, they need a showman (including hereafter referring to all genders) to control and steer the show, run the game plus entertain. It doesnt happen now and they just read the autocue with no personality. Mr Dawson was that true showman.
Dean Martin: I didn't dislike "old Terry"... he did OK on this show but I get where you are coming from....he overdid the smarmy bit at times. Les, on the other hand, took the show and ran with it...took it to a new level of a very low level quiz show. It worked. But be fair... the foundations were laid by Terry. They just exaggerated the idea of it being cheap for comedic effect. The perfect vehicle for Les..... With his "When I were a lad...." & his Mother-in-Law jokes. He was truly on fire in this one!
the aim of the game is to win the smallest prize. It takes up less space in a skip. Great stuff. Saturday night entertainment is just the same now, but no-one will realise how bad it is for 10 years. Seriously, the teeth lady was a hoot
I'm not sure what the deal is with Challenge, but they only seem to have the first Les Dawson series from 1984. They only had two Wogan series, the first from 1979 and another from '81. Also, I remember Kenny Everett being on many episodes (perhaps not with Les) but they only showed one! It's great there's a few more here though, thanks for uploading :)
Wow can you imagine a young comedian today like James Acaster, Nish Kumar or Russell Howard being as funny and spontaneous as this hosting a game show? Older comedians are always funnier coz they have more life experience but the BBC wants young politically liberal ones to lecture us instead of making us laugh
More laughs in this than every comedy show in the last year
But he was a straight white male, so he shouldn't be allowed on TV because he is a racist.
Les Mr Dawson on fire !! unrepeatable class act.
Most definitely
Totally engaged with Les what a true talent and legend in entertainment!!!

That "Midwife is still in shock" done me 🤣
Listen out for Les's mother in law joke - it's a gem!
"Look, you came in for nothing..." 😂
Love this back in the day.
There wasn't much else!

Tho she had a torrid time on the show and even backchatted Les before she was removed.
Not laughed at telly so much in years. Dawson‘s a bloody comedy genius. 😅
Oh, Les, we love you.
This is classic Les.
Had this recorded many years ago.
Thanks for uploading.
Agreed .... so much better than today’s output.
@@1ATV I love Les off the cuff. That is when he was at his best.
Some classic one liners...
Made me laugh for hours...
I miss his humour.

@@spitfiremark1a768 watch tbese Tbese all on CZcams via the good old days that have definitely gone for good
Les was a genius!
Much preferred Les Dawson to Terry Wogan in this. Used to like his sarcasm about the prizes.🤣
Excuse the cliche but Less made this it's own show. What talent he was.
Simply Brilliant
Les Dawson comedy legend and genius
Brilliant stuff. Cheers
Nice one, great upload 👍
