Very much "of their time".

Hilarious on a rainy Saturday night in 1975 - but their brand of humour hasn't really stood the test of time very well.

Still, they hark back to a much more innocent age - I mean, two middle-aged blokes sharing a bed, and yet nobody ever tittered and nudge-nudged over it. Nobody batted an eyelid. It was just ... well ... two middle-aged blokes sharing a bed.

I think their type of comedy still holds up well these days.

When the musical segment was on I would go out and make a cup of tea.
