    Quite simple the most wonderful comedy character ever created. Superbly conceived, written, and performed. The count just hits my funny bone like nobody else. Love it🤣🤣

    Only the BBC could stop Count Arthur after 3 series!!! He is brilliant!
    Instead we have an alternative of the comedians in their own personal grave yards doing talk shows, quiz shows, holiday shows and adverts. Cheap television!
    Suppose it pays, but they are not funny....unlike Count Arthur Strong who gets taken off!!

    I've got tickets to see the great Count in May, I really am! I will sit there in the auditorimum and cleverly laugh in all the right moments which should make him nervous and be very discomplacent. Then afterwards I will meet him. Hopefully the Count will be there. For the last two seasons some bloke called Steve Delaney and I'm not making this up, has come out instead, and waffled on at us. I'll be ready this time. Doncaster Theatre, with a different hat on so he doesn't recognise me from Adam or Eve. So don't come that!!!!

      @@davidowen6977 I rate Steve at the very top of our long history of comedic actors, if only for the fact that the Count is purely his own creation.
      He's on shortlist for sure .
      I'm 66yo and I grew up with radio comedy, all the greats, Hancock, Al Read etc and they're great, but CAS radio show made me laugh out loud more than anything I've heard before.
