Absolutely fascinating. I usually hate lazy swearing in comedy but watching all these clips they show that ‘tits’ was funnier than ‘boobs’ was funnier than ‘considerable assets’.

I went down a rabbit hole when I first saw this Dave Allen clip of a more famous Yes, Prime Minister gag. Some fascinating trivia in this thread.

With the news about the upcoming Dave Allen biopic on BBC2, I read about Dave Allen At Large. And in this edition from 1976, he tells a joke that is now most closely associated with Yes Prime Minister. See for yourself! Anybody with any info on this?

It was me who was in charge of finding the new presenter which eventually became Dani Behr. A girl called Nyusta was my favourite but she froze during the final audition in the studio. She's a singer now I think.
