...Comedy acts/comedians should always be remembered?

Laurel and Hardy

Lenny Bruce

Bill Hicks

Emo Philips, just to use a few examples.

Who would you like to see remembered and introduced to the younger generations?

The Two Ronnies

Morecambe & Wise

Les Dawson

Dame Edna

Lily Savage

Dave Allen

French & Saunders

Victoria Wood

Smith & Jones (and not the 9 o'clock news)

Frank Carson

Rik Mayall

and even Bernard Manning

All had their day, sadly some of the joke on for far too long.

I always thought Brian Conley was a terrific all round entertainer but he seems to have disappeared from television. He still does panto and musicals but I wish they'd bring him back on mainstream tv again.

He does quite a lot of theatrical work, panto's are a good money spinner for any actor/actress, you'd be surprised how many queue up to star in them.

Well can't disagree with anything gone before.

Marx Brothers Please.

Love the comment by Graucho when asked to join the Variety Club:

"I wouldn't wish to belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member"
