1984 was a sad year for anyone who loved old school British comedy - Tommy Cooper died in April, Eric Morecambe followed him a month later, and as if that were not heartbreaking enough, in October Leonard Rossiter passed on. With the alternative comedy revolution gathering momentum, it looked as though the old guard's days were numbered.
Top-drawer comedy, the drawer being labelled 'Jokes That Were Held For Questioning The Night Vaudeville Died'. In its way, a loving tribute to the great days of sketch comedy.
