Saturday nights spent with family, everyone watching Cannon & Ball, room filled with laughter. Not a mobile phone in sight, take me back to the 80's. Thankyou Bobby Ball, legend 👍
Deeply saddened by Bobby's passing, a genuine and down to earth soul. One of the true comedy greats and all time double acts. God bless Bobby, you're a legend and we all love you. I'm off to watch The Boys In Blue now :)
It's hard to emphasise just how much these two absolutely owned Saturday nights in the 80's. Attracting huge audiences, the like of which anyone now can only dream of, they clocked up a staggering 71 episodes of their prime time show. A fabulous legacy. Rock on! RIP Bobby, thanks for the laughs.
RIP Bobby. Absoluted rocked by his passing. Seen them in Blackpool as a kid, and saw them live last year, and they were brilliant. Had tickets to see them next April too. :(
Amazing comedy sadly missed Bobby thank you for year's of laughter thinking of Tommy and everyone who new loved Bobby his wife Bobby 's children keep rocking Tommy ❤❤xxx
Wonderful. They had their unique style! Status Quo, with their second great song. Margarita Time, the first one being Pictures of Matchstick Men, all the rest were just amplified noise.
Jockie Wilson. What a sad story. So much talent and died pretty much pennyless, living off benefits in a council house in his final days. He passed away at just 62 in 2012. RIP Jockie Wilson.
Absolutely loved these two as a child and my teens...gutted Bobby has passed 😢😢😢 saw them in panto when I was about 9 or 10 and Bobby came and sat on my mums knee messing about... It was hilarious 😆😆😆😆😆 I'll never forget it! Rock On Bobby In Heaven... You'll Do For Me Cocker!!
These guys are one of the best. They are sill touring today. Their show last year was so funny! If you sit in the front row dont look Bobby in the eye!
Perhaps they were better live, but I've never seen them live. TV (and certainly at the time of day they were on, being pre-watershed) placed constraints on the material they could perform. The trouble was that they came in the wake of Morecambe & Wise, and The Two Ronnies, both of whom made great television as double acts. And as they say, when you've had gold ...
These were the days my 80s childhood tv, Britain in them days only had 4 channels so viewing figures for all the entertainment shows were up to 30 million. Also in them days if you had your own show or became a singer you were simply meant to be , these two like all artists in them days started out in rough clubs every Saturday and was found by tv channels unlike these days where tv is shit reality tv creating celebrities who are famous for fuck all and the volume of songs written and produced for so called artists these days is shocking and they call them superstars ..take me back ..take me back
@Nigel Kent - Channel 4 started on 2nd November 1982. I'm not sure if Cannon & Ball made any Channel 4 appearances or not. There's too many TV channels nowadays for reasons already stated in the top comment.
On a plane in 1984 to Las Palmas...Bobby was a terrified air passenger... stood up by the door all the way smoking one-after-another (back in the days when you could smoke on planes) never sat down for 4 hours... had a few drinks then kept us all entertained with gag-after-gag... I was at the same resort as him and met every night for drinks and a bloody good laff!! RIP Bob... Pip!
It's November 2020 and watch these two in the 80s on Saturday nights with my family. They are still as funny now as they was all those years back. Love the airplane Sketch when Bobby picks on the old woman to get out of the seat 😂😂😂 Just Classic Comedy. R.i.P. Bobby Thanks for the laughs over the years. I'm Filling up 😭🙏
Seen Bobby & Tommy a few times in Blackpool not just on the pier seen them both in a pub in Blackpool & got talking to both of them they great fellas definitely Bobby is.
Oh my. I have few words to describe how sad I am to hear dear Bobby Ball left us due to Covid. Thank you Bobby for the tears of laughter you gave me over so many years. I hope you and my dear Bro Dave have met for a pint wherever you are. We loved you dearly
There's a reason there's no great double acts anymore. It's because there's no where left to hone their talents. It used to be the music halls and theatres and then it became the working mens clubs and piers at seaside resorts which is where Tommy and Bobby learnt their craft. Great comedy needs great timing and they had it, particular Bobby. One look, one pause just at the right time makes all the difference. My Dad and me didn't have much in common but comedy is the one thing we shared and we use to sit with tears running down our eyes at these two. I was a big fan of the Young Ones growing up and was chuffed to see Rik Mayall doing a sketch with them. He said he loved it and really enjoyed working with them both. When Bobby passed it wasn't just another comic leaving us it was the end of a double act era...for a while at least...Rock on Bobby lad and Tommy stay strong !
Miss you Bobby, so does Tommy. Rest in peace. You were both brilliant together back in the 70s. Everyone enjoyed watching you both in your shows on the TV and at the theatre's you attended over the years. 😊😮😊❤❤
Worked with these two many years ago on the building of Oldham civic hall and they used to practice their routine on the lads, then years later saw them at a Sheffield working men's club and they where brilliant, though I must admit 2hen I was a welder I didn't think they'd scale the heights that they eventually did, a classic double act, so funny
You can just tell these two love the stage, we felt like we knew them and it was their skill which unlocked the the art of laughter for us all. Thanks Bobby, you were the best.
I have memories not only seeing them, and loved watching them in the 80s,but also of working with them,i(n a play written by Bobby),that was the last time was just over 3 yrs ago, they should have been at our theatre in April,postponed to just two weeks ago,and of course didnt happen, and it never will now...but I have my piccie of the last time...another entertainer who would have been working right up to the end,had theatres not been closed..He could also play the piano, and gave us a few tunes during the free time,after set-up etc:..I sadi to him, do you fancy moving on the Compton Organ next...he replied said "Ill give that a miss".,
Bobby Ball you will be missed. Cannon and Ball, Not Going Out. Condolences to your family, loved ones and your good friend Tommy. I remember seeing the "Send in the Clowns" when I was a kid. There was something rather moving about that. R.I.P. (Rock on In Peace)
Hi Pazza...Just wanna send all my luv to Yvonne & family,plus of course Tommy & family!! Used to go to Bobby's club (Brace's) in Rochdale in the day...RIP BOBBY XXX FROM AN OWDHAM LASS!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Lost it when he grabbed the little ol dear
Same
Without any doubt the best live comedy act I ever saw simple brilliance
I grew up watching these guys,back in the 80's. Another bit of my childhood gone... Rip Bobby. Thoughts and prayers to your family.
It’s still quality when you can still laugh at it now ................
Absolute geniuses these two. They broke the mould with these 2 greats. RIP Bobby.
That first one with the seats has better timing than most comedy sketches done today.
Amazing comedy sadly missed Bobby thank you for year's of laughter thinking of Tommy and everyone who new loved Bobby his wife Bobby 's children keep rocking Tommy ❤❤xxx
Loved Cannon and Ball as a Kid I used to cry with laughter watching them. God Bless Bobby RIP and thank you.
I love these two they are my child hood and I just watched this whole set front to back enjoying every morsel
I loved these watching these 2 at my grandmas on a saturday night. Still laughing at this. Quality lasts
Hilarious. They’ve easily got to be in the top 100 TV comedy double acts in the last 40 years.
I’d go as far as to say top 10
Loved your show going to be missed thanks for all your laughs rest in peace ✌
Wonderful. They had their unique style!
Status Quo, with their second great song. Margarita Time, the first one being Pictures of Matchstick Men, all the rest were just amplified noise.
Awww absolutely gutted 😞 a massive part of my childhood, thank you for making me laugh!
Bobby Ball... I’ll flippin miss you 💫💔💫
Sadly missed. Absolute legends. These 2 are part of my youth. They were hilarious. RIP Bobby.
Forgotten how good they were. Proper entertainers. Thank you Bobby & Tommy
ALWAYS loved this duo, hilarious still have me laughing..and status quo..performing live.actually playing instruments..real musicians
Where have all the comedians gone? Love this, thanks for the memories 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jockie Wilson. What a sad story. So much talent and died pretty much pennyless, living off benefits in a council house in his final days. He passed away at just 62 in 2012. RIP Jockie Wilson.
Wow! I had no idea, how tragic.
Legend

These guys are one of the best. They are sill touring today. Their show last year was so funny! If you sit in the front row dont look Bobby in the eye!
Bryan Grieve my favs from this were send in the clowns, West side story, status quo and jocky wilson
Omg yeh they are so funny and amazing I was crying with laughter
Bryan Grieve my late mother was sitting in the front row wearing a flowery dress , he said she looked like a well kept grave. I nearly wet myself .😂😂

Cannon and Ball were on TV before Channel 4 started, so there were only 3 channels!
