Review of Sez Les

Sez Les (1969–1976)
5/10
Not Dawson's best

Warning: Spoilers
Les Dawson is a great comedian but this long running Thames sketch show does not rank among his best in my opinion, despite it being what put him on the comedy map, as well as starting his memorable double act with Roy Barraclough as gossipy harridans Cissy and Ada.

Each show would kick off with Dawson's orchestra doing their piece, before Les moved on to sketches, songs and monologues. The sketches were probably the best part of the show, though overall they still were not much cop, such as one featuring Les as a cack-handed dentist. John Cleese appeared now and again as Les' sidekick.

'Sez Les' ended in 1976. Thankfully, Les moved onto more superior shows such as 'The Dawson Watch'.
