Funniest TV Moments

Morecambe & Wise's scene with Andre Previn, playing Grieg's piano concerto, especially the line "I'm playing all the right notes - just not in the right order."

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's one-legged would-be Tarzan, particularly the line "I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is, neither have you."

Tommy Cooper reciting a rubbish poem, where each character is matched with a hat he puts on when speaking their words - the bit where he loses it, half turns away and mutters quickly through the whole poem so far so as to find his place again.

There's a magical moment in a show of Frankie Howerd's at the Oxford or Cambridge Union. He does a lengthy introductory routine about not belonging there, and how it came about, all in normal discursive style. Then when he finishes, he announces that it's time to start the show - and just spouts all of his catchphrases and tics, all "Ooh ah yes, missus" until everyone is in hysterics.

Am I showing my age with this bunch of dead people? I'm tempted to cite something from Chris Morris or Alan Partridge, but no one thing is leaping to the front. There are many from the Simpsons, and it's hard to just choose one, but there is the peerlessly inspired slapstick of the first to get onto BBC, where Homer falls down Springfield Gorge, is winched up on a stretcher, banging his head against every pointy bit of rock en route, then put in an ambulance which immediately crashes, causing the stretcher to roll out of the back and bounce back down into the gorge.

Ah, that's enough. Remind us all of the ones you love.
