Marty Feldman was a friend whom I miss very much. He was a comic genius and truly gentle soul. Not many Americans know that in his homeland, Marty was the British equivalent of Woody Allen... namely an accomplished writer and performer. Marty's seminal BBC series laid the foundation for "Monty Python" as many of its members worked on his writing staff.

Marty should never be forgotten and the full true nature of his incredible talent should forever stay on our radar. He was much more than "Aye-Gore."

I'm sharing some rarities in my possession that Marty gave me back in the seventies. Here's an undertaker sketch that also features the late, great Spike Milligan.

  • Thanks for this. I ...

    Thanks for this. I have a copy of the "Comedy Machine" episode this comes from, but it's edited, and has a laughter track and narration over it. The narrator, when they join forces says "they decided instead of being two unsuccessful undertakers, they should join forces and become one big unsuccessful undertakers". One more thing, the narrator was Orson Welles.

    Keep posting these brilliant rarities. They are hugely appreciated. God bless Marty.

  • Thanks, thanks, ...

    Thanks, thanks, thanks! I've seen clips of this since the 80s but never the whole thing. I'm pretty sure is does still exist in an archive but as with all 70s stuff it is a bit near the knuckle for the PC brigade. Good innocent fun, an why not?
