I met him as well as a child at St. Patrick's Day parade "save the whale float". Really lovely man. I read all his wartime books then when I got a bit older. So funny.
"What is your defence to this accusation that you're sending us up and making a mockery of your own countrymen?" "Don't read the book if you haven't got a sense of humour." True then as now.
@@ballockybill2277 I miss them all. Even Terry wogan with his soft cheeky Irish wit was a joy to watch. Dare l say it even val doonican especially at Christmas time.
More compelling viewing in 5 minutes of one interview than you'll see in an entire season of the modern LLS.
So true!!!!
Met Spike Milligan walking around the city, a true gentleman & very genuine.

Great share,thank you 👍 I'm imagining a meeting between Flann and Spike 💭
Proper legend of a man!
Aww absolutely FANTASTIC ,, Spike was Magic & Gay was untouchable..
Great combo
Two legends of genuine great talent.
@@colinsmith1288 Couldn’t agree more Colin .. 👍
Spike was a legend , gay was an insufferable arsehole
Thank goodness Gay was never kidnapped by the Beeb,just as Terry Wogan was!!
They is only one word for Spike genius
Late to the party as per usual but you tube shows us characters from the past that would be amazing now
Loved him
Brilliant witt

wonder what happened to the book ?. i never seen a copy of it.
no one has ever matched Gay Byrne
We are the makers of dreams and the singers of songs - Spike Milligan . Gay Byrne - Why are you putting down the Irish . lol
Well it's very easy to take the P out of your own as long as you're getting an end product ie money
Dave Allen did the same. But bloody funny Al, the same.
@@colinsmith1288 I love Dave Allen . I remember he had his own TV show back in the day . Love Spike Milligan too .
