Dave Allen, comedian

[Shaun Gander]

It is the same one John.
There have been a number of reasons given for his wanting Benny off, everything from too sugestive to being a bad influence on the young.
The real reason I doubt we will ever know, but there have been inferences that he is very anti gay.

I believe he died lonely and sad in Southampton a good few years back.

One very similar to Dave Allen was the Father Ted series, we have all the DVDs.
I was of the impression that the younger Steptoe was married I think his daughter was on TV ??

I loved Dave Allen - he told it as it was which made it so funny when you thought about it.

Michael Crawford, aka Frank Spencer, is one of the biggest stars of the musical stage.

Unfortunately most of them end up in parliament!!!!!

My ex brother in law was fairly senior in the Department of Health. I remember him saying that every time a government or minister changed the ONLY thing that actually changed was the door signs and letterheads.
