  • Summary

  • Les Dawson was one of Britain's most popular comedians of the Seventies and Eighties who brought a winning combination of brilliant comic deadpan and linguistic eloquence to his work...as well as being the principal exponent of the celebrated 'mother-in-law' joke. His Cissie and Ada routines with actor Roy Barraclough remain unrivalled classics to this day. Lucille Ball was America's biggest female comedy star of all time - the originator of the TV sitcom as a comic form and a peerless comedic actress. I Love Lucy remains the go-to blueprint for the studio-based situation comedy a full seventy years since it debuted. Ball's charisma and astonishing timing cemented her legacy as one of the all time greats.

    Mark Wells and John Marley discuss these two legendary performers, and enjoy remembering the laughs they gave us.
