Like others on this thread, I couldn't stand Norman Wisdom, nor Charlie Drake.

Tastes change over the years; some humour, and comedians, seem timeless whereas others tend to live in a particular period.

I was an avid fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but when I watched a rerun of the series I was left wondering how I'd ever seen anything funny in it.

The Two Ronnie's I would consider timeless and are still a source for the style of some of my 'stories :-D

Morecombe and Wise were so much part of my childhood I could never say anything against them......In our household Christmas day wasn't complete without them on TV, neither was Sunday mornings with my dad playing their LPs before the Archers.

As a child I didn't 'get' Charlie Drake as he annoyed me, but I loved Norman Wisdom.

I didn't like Ken Dodd when I was younger, but having heard him on Radio 4extra repeats I can appreciate his clever humour.

Ken Dodd was undeniably a good singer.
