One of my earliest tv memories was staying up late with my older brothers on the weekends and watching Monty Python. I’m sure at least half of it flew right over my head, but I caught enough that I would be doubled over with laughter most of the time.
I also liked Benny Hill and Dave Allen At Large, though I didn’t “get” Allen at all until I was a bit older. Also remember another comedy show on around the same time as Python called The Goodies. Much more slapstick and juvenile compared to MP IIRC, but I still laughed.
Dave Allen At Large was great. Usually it came on after Benny Hill.....Good times.
