polling old timey British film comedians

"Perhaps the best remembered of their gags is when an attractive girl in a grass skirt is followed across stage by Bud Flanagan wheeling a lawnmower."

:/

i feel when we smugly tut tut a present-day tabloid for headline referencing a 70s sit-com we're forgetting that e.g. likeable 80s TV show shine on harvey moon* was referencing a song written in fkn 1903 lol

(reminded of this bcz "shine on harvest moon" is considered a flanagan & allen song: true pop culture has some tough-as-boots connective tissue) (viz the connective tissue between the crazy gang and hellraiser = kenneth cranham)
