To wonder why Les Dawson was so popular?

I listen to radio 4 extra a lot while I'm cooking/ironing and generally just let whatever's on wash over me - but they're repeating a Les Dawson series at the moment and I have to switch off - it's just so horrible - every joke or sketch is anti women, anti disabled, racist, xenophobic

I was a child in the 70s so I know what it was like then, but jeez it's awful. I caught an episode of Doctor in the House a couple of weeks ago, and the whole episode seemed to centre on attractive women in-patients happy to be touched up, or worse, by student doctors

It really is no wonder saville and the rest got away with so much for so long

Somehow the 70s stuff seems worse than the 50s and 60s, thankfully I've managed to avoid the Goodies, I didn't like that first time round!

I never found him funny but his piano playing was brilliant.
