Reigning supreme for almost a decade as ITV's biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most influential and popular comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmly in the top ten untiI his untimely death in 1966 robbed the world of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes' comedic brilIiance until the reIease of his surviving ATV shows on DVD.
Featuring wickedIy funny scripts from Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, this set contains aIl existing episodes of The Arthur Haynes Show. A Iively mix of sketches and musicaI entertainment, Speight's scripts invariabIy drew on the famiIiar class antagonism which he wouId hone to perfection on TiIl Death Us Do Part. Haynes' robust working-cIass 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 alI seven individual voIumes of The Arthur Haynes Show in a single set, returning him to his rightful place among the comedy greats. |
