Sharing my love of music hall. Marie Lloyd, Joyce Grenfell, Hinge and Bracket and others under the cut. Bring back The Good Old Days, I say. Hosted by Harry Hill. It's also a celebration of the complete hilarity of British humour, the way we just don't give a stuff about PC-ness.

Adore the gentle and wicked humour. Really ahead of its time in the 1970s. I bet most of the audience didn't understand many of the innuendos.

I wish I'd seen her.

No words. I remember the first time I saw this and I was weeping with laughter. It still makes me laugh.

The wonderful Armstrong and Miller (they also do the best RAF pilots ever.)

and finally - the fabulous Tim Minchin on Jonathan Ross. This may need a little explanation for non-Brits, but Jonathan's Ross's house band is called Four Poofs and Piano. Because they are. Best line: They can cure a man of trouser love and turn him onto skirt.

God I love being English.
