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 🤣😂
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.
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.
I love UA-cam 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.
Loved him and Lily Savage presenting this. I couldn’t imagine today’s comedians being any good, like Russel Howard and Nish Kumar getting all political or James Acaster having a spoilt schoolboy rant
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
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!
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 :)
Les Mr Dawson on fire !! unrepeatable class act.
Most definitely
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.
Totally engaged with Les what a true talent and legend in entertainment!!!

"Look, you came in for nothing..." 😂
That "Midwife is still in shock" done me 🤣
Listen out for Les's mother in law joke - it's a gem!
Excuse the cliche but Less made this it's own show. What talent he was.
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 UA-cam via the good old days that have definitely gone for good
Not laughed at telly so much in years. Dawson‘s a bloody comedy genius. 😅
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.
Much preferred Les Dawson to Terry Wogan in this. Used to like his sarcasm about the prizes.🤣
Don’t think any quiz show host took the mickey out the programme he was presenting more than Les with blankety blank.
But the viewers loved it.
Oh, Les, we love you.

Nice one, great upload 👍
Brilliant stuff. Cheers

Dawson is only bettered by Bradley Walsh
Simply Brilliant
Holy moly, how funny is this compared to the absolute rubbish we are subjected to now.

This would have been transmitted on a Friday night.
I'm singing this now
Blankety Blank!🎵🎶
I always found Terry wogan quite annoying (in everything ),
Good old Les, you couldnt help but love him 👍🏽
Totally agree 💯
