Les Dawson was a comedy genius. I'm baffled as why some people do not find him funny. He was simply brilliant. The mother in law jokes were only a small part of his act. He could entertain audiences without resorting to foul language, which sadly seems to be the norm today. He was at his best when he teamed up with Roy Barraclough and together they recreated Norman Evans famous' Over The Garden Wall' routine. John Cleese ( fresh from 'Monty Python' ) also appeared in some episodes as a straight man. One of Les' most remembered characters was 'Superflop', a spoof of 'Superman'. David Nobbs ( of 'Reginald Perrin' fame wrote many of the sketches. So, yes, I loved 'Sez Les' and don't care its dated or not. Les was still a huge star when he died at the start of the Nineties.
