    Very funny and unorthodox show!

    What do you get when you mix Johnny Carson and Benny Hill? DAVE ALLEN! This show was a mixture of Dave Allen's stand-up type material, (while he sat down in his chair) and skits that ridiculed everyday people, primarily of England. If they ran this again, I will tape and collect them all!
