'The Good Old Days' compered by Leonard Sachs.
My goodness, he was an accomplished wordsmith.

Well, if the gig becomes available again the BBC will have a natural replacement.
They might need to increase the running time though.

I am sure Boris Johnson would be an outstanding replacement!
I have just thought of another programme, 'All our yesterdays' with Brian Inglis.
just watched this, very funny but doesn't include his best sketches. Thanks

Boris would be more suited to a Worzel Gummidge remake and could improvise the script.
All our Yesterdays was a very interesting programme.

I understand your thinking !
Perhaps Jacob Rees-Mogg would be a sterling replacement for Leonard Sachs.

Mr. Rees-Mogg would be better served sprawled languidly in an armchair at Bertie Wooster's Drones club. He wouldn't even need to change his clothes.

Jacob and I will be enjoying a tipple together in the near future but it will not be at the 'Bertie Wooster's Drones Club' !!
I suspect I will be sprawled languidly after a few 'Tinctures' ! 😀 😀

Sykes was always value. Hattiesburg Jaqueline and Derek Guyler enhanced it.

Bloody predictive texting. Hattie Jaques of course.

Remember when Peter Sellers was in it. That was quite a coup at the time.

Sellers in early days was a genius. Two Way Stretch, Ladykillers etc. Lost his way in Hollywood - he didn’t have writers like Sykes. I loved Eric in Those Magnificent Men - he and Terry Thomas. Comic gold.

Sykes - But sir she’s a good girl.
Thomas - was Perkins, was.

Agreed. They were dependable as ever, so we’re Pete and Dud. Highlight though was Jimmy Durante singing the title song.
Sellers best old movie for me was Fred Kite in I’m Alright Jack- with Irene Handle (his favourite actress) as Mother.
