T'was a great show, head and shoulders above many in that format. That format always sucks. Ignoring the numbers (1, 47, whatever) it was great to get re-aquainted with some of the comics there. Manning and Chubby Brown, while being horrible in so many ways, are at times funny, but I wish Davidson's tongue would get cut out, he's a complete twazzock.
When watching it I was thinking/hoping that one day you'll be able to hit a button to download shows by people in these lists - came out wanting to check Sadowitz, and definetely want to hear some Lenny Bruce now.
Missed the beginning though - did Hancock make the grade? Or Spike Milligan, or the Goons, or The Goodies et al?
Mention this cos there did seem to be a year zero approach in the show, as if stand up really began in the 80s with a few exceptions, which is of course not true.
