Used to love that show, no pretext at a real quiz show at all, just a laugh a minute. Kenny was unstoppable, such a loss. I forgot what a great personality Roy was. And Lorraine looks edible !
@ancient of daze Hahaha! How much things have changed in the 11 years since I wrote that comment. I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts several years ago. Every so often I dip my toes back in but I jump right back out again. It’s so toxic there now. Horrible place.
Goodbye to another of the stars that were a huge part of my childhood. Wherever Terry has gone, I hope Cuddly Ken was there waiting to greet him, and to bend his microphone again.
I watched this same episode When i lived in England in 1979 On BBC 1 television I loved kenny Everette I watched This show every week. My Aunt Ivy who is now deceased Had a crush on Terry Wogan She loved him big time.
Everett was unique. I love him so much. My comedy idol in my youth. Anarchic, without dominating. Too many modern comedians try and take over every line, shouting across others. He just waits for his moment, destroys everyone with the best gag, moves on.
On his radio show (probably many years later) Mr Everett did say that the bending the microphone was a scripted gag that he and Mr Wogan suggested to the production "team". This was an exception because, unlike similar shows from other countries, there were very few scripted jokes ("suggested" lines).
@@mmumambientsounds-timers If you re-watch his shows today and find that you get entertainment from them now, then you have gone far back in your development!
@@redblade8160 that would figure as the target age for the humour would have been 15-21 . That said , he was extremely ahead of his time & some of the sketches & characters are still funny as f*** .
R.I.P to all the celebrates we lost since this episode. Roy Kinnear (8 January 1934 - 20 September 1988) Kenny Everett (25 December 1944 - 4 April 1995) Dame Thora Hird (28 May 1911 - 15 March 2003) Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG (3 May 1934 - 1 May 2011) Sir Terry Wogan (3 August 1938 - 31 January 2016)
So THAT'S why Terry bent Kenny's microphone stick when he appeared on the Star Quiz segment of Kenny's show! Putting it into context just makes it so much funnier!
OMG this brings back such good memories. We used to watch it on a PYE 21" TV that you has to actually get up out of your seat and push a button to change the channel.
The voice that you hear over the opening titles is the late Tony Hawes. Tony was an accomplished screenwriter and actor. He was married to Stan Laurel's Daughter (Lois Laurel-Hawes).
Used to love watching this when I was a kid with my grandma, my grandad hated terry wogan and would sit there chunterin to himself all way through 😂..Great fun
as a kid Henry Cooper was that guy who was always on Blankety Blank , it was a bit of a shock to discover that he was originally famous for being a boxer.
Brilliant! I loved the Aussie version.. When revealing the answers in the final round, they always asked 'Peter the phantom puller' to give it a pull. Lmao.
One of the rare times we can say the Aussie version was better than the UK version of something! Graham Kennedy was great as the host! More risque and better comedic value than Wogan's version..
@@markdp1983 a few years ago I saw the Vietnam war movie "The Odd Angry Shot", starring Graham Kennedy as an Australian SAS trooper. He actually managed to pull it off quite well, and when I found our about him later I was very surprised to find that he was the Australian version of Terry Wogan. One newspaper headline was "GraGra's going to War, But he Won't be Shooting Blankety Blanks". He also played a reporter in "The Killing Fields". As good as Wogan was, I couldn't imagine him playing a straight role like that, which just shows how versatile Kennedy was.
I remember seeing this episode Back in 1979 when I was a kid Poor Roy Kinear died while making A movie he told the director he couldn't ride horses the director Made him ride the horse anyway Poor Roy Kinear fell off the horse Broke his neck and died as a result Of that accident and kenny Everette died of A.I.D.S in 1984 Which was a real blow to me Losing my hero my friend and my Idle I miss both Kenny Everette And Roy Kinear eveyday.
Belvedere Bailey It's a British humour thing. We know it's rubbish but it's glorious rubbish so we make it silly. Graham Kennedy was great in an Australian way. Game shows in Oz had no prize limitations, GK got all his mates in, rudder, glitzier - horses for courses and all that.
Can never forget Kenny's part in the greatest single of all time. I used to listen to his radio show and we loved Bohemian Rhapsody............... Mainly because Kenny kept playing it every half hour and it lasted for 6 minutes! Kenny not only gave DJs a chance to have a pee whilst it was playing..... They could have a crap too!
@@corbe1970ify I think you are correct.... As usual, the Beeb overdid it and killed the fatted calf. They tend to do that with their better programmes...and they simply end up spoiling the memories of millions.
The reason Americans "won't get it" is because US game shows didn't have the same limitations on prizes that the UK did at the time. The FCC didn't crack down on prize values the way Britain's Independant Broadcasting Authority did back then. The limits were even stricter on BBC because the brass over there felt it inappropriate to spend taxpayer money on that kind of thing. By the time the IBA limits were lifted, brits were watching the Lily Savage revival version. It's not because Americans are somehow denser, this is wholly local humor, where the context means damn near everything.
I think you are right but I also think that, speaking about Kenny Everett in particular here, many American people would never have 'gotten it' (no offence intended to any US person). This is a very 'British' kind of humour and it has always allowed for a certain kind of 'naughty' behaviour that would not be tolerated on American TV, especially going back 30 or 40 years ago. Do you honestly think that Kenny Everett or the 'Carry On' movies or Benny Hill to mention but a few would have been a hit among many Americans. Not on your life. There would be a riot. Kenny would have loved that! Hope that those from the show who have passed on are sleeping tight.
Back when "celebrities" meant they actually entertained for a living. Kenny light years ahead both on radio & TV - Just how many of us were wow-ing at Hot Gossip on the show, yet that was a break in the laughter of the sketches; Sid Snot, Angry of Mayfair, Captain Kremmen of course & Brother Lee Love which made the singers laugh as much as we did. Then the rows of A-List talent lining up to get on the show to have the Mick taken? Cliff Richard, Rod Stewart, David Essex, etc We're richer for having had them all in our youth 😄😅🤣😂
More than anything this really makes me think of how sad it is that they're moving the 'Beeb out of TV Centre - imagine this lot hanging out in the bar afterwards, with all the other cast/crew from the other studios filming that day. So much great material was concieved not just in filming but in the surrounds of the television centre, just from people who wouldn't normally think of formal 'collaborations' hanging out and getting jolly. No more. Such a shame.
Kenny as ever, superb and fun, Roy played being a grump well and he was a very funny guy. Susan one of the players looked rather nice there, lovely looking woman.
and in that same respect its amazing how a show like Blockbusters here lasted like 2 years with Bill Cullen from 80-82 in the US and yet the Bob Holness Era lasted significantly longer at 10 years! It should also be noted that I have become more of a fan of the UK game/quiz shows just because I feel us Americans f***ed up the genre lately
Kenny was decades before his time.
An absolute Legend
Nope. he was of his time. If he appeared now, he would either be throttled by woke executives or cancelled by a Twitter mob.
They knew he was a homosexual junkie during this show?
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 Probably. They also knew Savile was a peado. I'd watch Kenny Everette again and again for his humour. I'd like to see Savile erased from most if not all shows.

Kenny Everett was similar to Spike Milligan, he couldn't go a minute without saying something mad, miss them both.
Kenny Everett was hilarious, anarchic comedic genius.
and all done in the best possible taste!
Gizzard puke ere!
Used to love that show, no pretext at a real quiz show at all, just a laugh a minute. Kenny was unstoppable, such a loss. I forgot what a great personality Roy was. And Lorraine looks edible !
I’d definitely give her one.
cannibalism
warning ⚠️
Lorraine - HOT as
Terry and Kenny together were comedy dynamite. RIP both.
very true mate.
forever waltzing thro the BBC looking for the broadcasting under manager
Imagine Kenny Everett tweeting on Twitter. Would have been excellent.
@ancient of daze Hahaha! How much things have changed in the 11 years since I wrote that comment. I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts several years ago. Every so often I dip my toes back in but I jump right back out again. It’s so toxic there now. Horrible place.
He’d have one of the highest follower numbers
Twitter couldn't have coped!
He would have had millions of followers, including me xx
In the days where tweets were buzbys tweets and Silvester and Tweety
I've always said Kenny was ahead of his time. He even mentions tweeting in his answer!
what about lorraine chase and the moustache? shes living in 2019 lol
I thought that, I wonder how many people got inspiration from him in the special effects industry today.
So did Lorraine chase
Lorraine chase is really cute
So did Larry Grayson in the October 79 show "tweeted". I only remembered as I just saw a clip.
Goodbye to another of the stars that were a huge part of my childhood. Wherever Terry has gone, I hope Cuddly Ken was there waiting to greet him, and to bend his microphone again.
Kenny when you died I felt like I lost my best friend. Rip mate.
Roy Kinnear was such a funny guy, with great facial expressions.
I dunno, I think he was a 'bad egg!'
You had to be there watching back in the day to know what legends these people were!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👍😎
40 years later and its still funny than ever, especially Kenny!
I watched this same episode
When i lived in England in 1979
On BBC 1 television
I loved kenny Everette I watched
This show every week.
My Aunt Ivy who is now deceased
Had a crush on Terry Wogan
She loved him big time.

Perfect analogy and so very true.
Still miss him. His inventive bright silly humour we loved when we were growing up.

John Ericsson
It's all scripted
Funny that was scripted, didn’t seem to know where to go with it.
As a child of the 80’s I found the Kenny Everett show extremely boring. I wonder if I re-watched it I would think differently?

"Screw the game! Hit him with the gunge!"
I love how it's like the show is barely keeping it together. I never appreciated its quirky quality as a small child.
Kenny always steals the show! Classic! Adore him!
I actually remember this episode! Kenny was always the best guest on it!
There were only a few people that would make me watch it and Kenny was one of them.
OMG this brings back such good memories. We used to watch it on a PYE 21" TV that you has to actually get up out of your seat and push a button to change the channel.
Back in the days when we were allowed to have a sense of humour in this Country!
Oh wow I remember this episode and every other episode,loved it back then
Kenny, bloody loved that bloke.
“What happened with your glass of water, Henry?”
“I thought I’d splash it all over!”
Please “Like” if you remember THAT ad with Henry...
What you on about.
It’s a uk thing
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Terry and Kenny really worked well together, they bounced off each other and the comedy was so natural.
Wogan was such a good sport, perfect host, no horrible sarcasm.
If you ever heard his Eurovision commentaries, they were dripping with sarcasm! (Rightly deserved too!)
@@johnhodgetts6617 Yes, Loved the way he turned the Eurovision into Blankety Blank.... as you say, deservedly so!
Remember this as a kid, mum especially loved it. #RIP Terry and thanks for all the laughs. x
The voice that you hear over the opening titles is the late Tony Hawes.
Tony was an accomplished screenwriter and actor. He was married to Stan Laurel's Daughter (Lois Laurel-Hawes).
For just a moment, I was back in time.
good old Kenny - loved his shows back when I was young & still do.
still have a Captain Kremmen LP.
RIP Kenny - thanks for all the laughter 💖
Used to watch this when I was little and Kenny was always a highlight!
Used to love watching this when I was a kid with my grandma, my grandad hated terry wogan and would sit there chunterin to himself all way through 😂..Great fun
as a kid Henry Cooper was that guy who was always on Blankety Blank , it was a bit of a shock to discover that he was originally famous for being a boxer.
Yeah, I just knew him from the Brute ads and then I found out that he was a boxer who had knocked Muhammad Ali on his ass.
Man i so miss shows like this, there isn't a single evening show on telly anymore worth watching hardly.
As a kid I used too love this show , & still in year 2022 !!
I lived in the same street as Kenny (Morris Cole) as a child and have some fond memories of him. RIP 💗
this show was hilairious back in the day especially when Kenny Everett was on
Roy, Thora, Henry, Kenny and the legendary Sir Terry are no longer with us. Terry & Kenny bounced off each other.

Poor Roy Kinear died while making
A movie he told the director he couldn't ride horses the director
Made him ride the horse anyway

Broke his neck and died as a result
Of that accident and kenny Everette died of A.I.D.S in 1984
Which was a real blow to me
Losing my hero my friend and my
Idle I miss both Kenny Everette
And Roy Kinear eveyday.
Watching this helps me to appreciate Graham Kennedy's sheer talent in the Austrailan version of this.

I was 9years old and I remember this episode. Kenny is even funnier.
Loved it when Les Dawson was on hosting it "ooh, knickers, knackers, knockers!!" :) :)
I liked when he binned that stupid microphone prop. What was Terry thinking? At least it gave Kenny something to break.

Loved this show

I remember watching this, when it was first shown. I must have been 12 years old at the time.
Loved Kenny Everett
Kenny Everett, pure genius
in the States it was called Match Game hosted by Richard Dawson in the early 70s
