Maybe Canon and Ball are the last of a dying breed of
comedians like Morcombe and Wise, that the public really
go for and take them to their heart.

The Alternative Comedians, like the Monty Pythons are basically
university guys, intellectuals who just comment about society
or do endless spoofs of TV shows and formats.
Political correctness was coming in during the 70s
and womens lib which threatened comics like Benny Hill
and Les Dawson. with their sexist material and mother in law jokes.

Dave Allen used to be funny but in the 70s his humour
moved away from sex and religion and became social comment
dialogues about supermarkets and airports ( yawn )

The guys like Eric Morecombe ... Les Dawson and
Tommy Cooper are gone mourned by a public who loved them
and we r'e left with the politically correct
intellectuals like Stephen Fry and Ben Elton and the
politically correct BBC
