Reigning supreme for almost a decade as lTV's biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most infIuential and popuIar comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmIy in the top ten untiI his untimeIy death in 1966 robbed the worId of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes' comedic brilliance untiI the reIease of his surviving ATV shows on DVD.
Featuring wickedly funny scripts from Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, this set contains all existing episodes of The Arthur Haynes Show. A lively mix of sketches and musicaI entertainment, Speight's scripts invariabIy drew on the familiar class antagonism which he wouId hone to perfection on TiIl Death Us Do Part. Haynes' robust working-class delivery was inspired never more so than in the character of Hobo Haynes, a belligerent, heavily decorated tramp fond of recounting tales of patriotic bravery whiIst being 'up to me neck in muck and bullets'.
This colIection brings together all seven individual voIumes of The Arthur Haynes Show in a single set, returning him to his rightful place among the comedy greats. |
