Now what do we do ? - What Do We Do Now? Spike Milligan RIP Told You He Was Ill. Whom? Whom was ill? Who do you think?

Tortoise an "Ology" not Tautology?

I know that this was deeply unpopular but it would have been nice to have some sort of ceremony to mark the occasion when William became Prince of Wales.

🤣🤣🤣🤣fabulous 👌

God Save the King.

Spike - bonkers but brilliant.

'Mad' and 'insane' where the comments by two women at the beginning...lol...Spike had the ability to make it look like he was an idiot to those who didn't have the type of brain to see what he was doing...Just like Groucho, Laurel and Chaplin he's certainly up there with them...Everything he did and said was worked out and sometimes in a live instant...No madness or insanity there...only genius

🎉the madness seems to all be coming true,love spikes humour,his timing was perfect,I was abit young first time around ,but glad I grew into it, comedy now is swearing or filth ,women the worst,

I’m old enough to say that I watch this live on tv. It was CRINGE WORTHY. And embarrassing ,I even felt sorry for Charles. All dreamt up and staged by Princess Margaret’s husband, ( obviously with the Queen and government’s backing) BUT really I SINCERELY hope that Charles NEVER DOES THAT TO WILLIAM,or WILLIAM do it to George. They’d be sooo embarrassed. 😳🫣🫣

You can also visualize the Goons Show as well, (as Harry is inside the elephant) where a real bunch of wonderful nuts get together. At the age of 75 I still laugh so much at this wonderful presentation.

I feel privileged that I once met & spent an extraordinary evening with Ken Campbell. He truly was a one off

1969, in Durban, South Africa, was where these pearls of wisdom were first offered, as genuine advice, and we'll meant......

Spike Milligan, not a brilliant academic mind, but rather a genius intellect, a complicated " by the worlds' hypocrisy" man, but with huge empathy, compassion, and a heart bigger than most, all of this I learnt in one weekend with him, Sellers and Seecombe, who was a great friend of my Father, Harold Lake,and mother, Maureen Adair. A beautiful mind of note. He told me ' Martin my lad, don't ever enter show biz, we're all mad, don't know who we are, and are mostly queer".

The elephant saga was definitely an excellent call back to a Goons style skit.

Prince Charles has turned out to be a piss-ant & his treatment of Princess Diana is absolutely horrid, I hope she haunts him, watched The Crown & Mummy covered-up for him!!

I said the world was mad The world said I was mad Goddamnit, they outvoted me! Spike, the only sane one.

i can be seen v dimly about 1:38 on the band stage, w glasses, and i would be on the piano at the jazz club, w Chris De Pyss on sax and our guitarist (don't remember name) on washtub bass

Loved it.....

Authorities are all legally approved narcissists, maniacs and criminals.

Annoying interviewer as always!

So glad he saw the blatant insanity of the world. This has also inspired some of my books such as Quantum Nipples (amazon kdp).😊

is this the one the comics are based on

All credit to John Bluthal for always providing great comic support for Spike.

Now, God save The King❤

AMAZING. What a force of nature Ken Campbell was. The world needs more people who are truly, freely themselves.

Brilliant ! Thank you 👍 So this is where WHO ,Gates & Whitty got their medical "science" training.

My dad was spikes best friend in India when he was 10. Both born in India . My dad 1924

The royal family was adorable and genuine. I adore them. From the states.❤

I find it difficult to believe that only sixteen people have commented on this. I think that there many silent commentators who are happy to not manifest their thoughts in any way. I am certain that the unvoiced and unwritten views are largely benign, benevolent even. Perhaps, for the sake of some sort of celestial balance, there ought to be at least one vaguely antagonistic comment.

That mirrors is to make the Devil 😈 happy !!

A really deep and insightful look into psyche of Spike Milligan. I love it that Spike opened up, but feel he was still hiding some of his demons and that he did not want to hang out too much of the dirty washing of his life in the interview for public scrutiny. His first wife in particular who left him because she simply could not cope with his mental instability that led up to a nervous breakdown was a wonderful woman who Spike by his own admission truly deeply loved. She was the love of Spike's life. Deep down inside Spike felt so much painful regret, remorse, and guilt for what he had put his wonderful wife through. Spike must have looked within himself and thought, 'Me. I did that. I was the one that drove that wonderful woman, the mother of my children, away. The woman I loved, the woman who meant everything to me in this life. Yes, it was me, I did that.' Considering himself a failure because of that stupidity, often wishing he could simply turn back the clock to put things to rights, must have gnawed on his conscious. Spikes second wife who died of cancer was not mentioned either, being another wonderful woman, and that too must have had a profound affect on him both emotionally and mentally. An intellectual eccentric none conformist, I liked Spikes viewpoint and can admire his desire to retreat from materialism into a world of simple living devoid of adults and more attune to children and nature. This is a retreat not so much from society or responsibility generally but as a means of alleviating high stress levels and disorder in his life that he had suffered from for years mainly due to others pressuring him beyond his capabilities leading him to spates of depression and mental instability. God bless Spike. He made his mistakes, but under the duress of intense pressure that caused him to mentally deteriorate. How refreshing it was that Spike recovered from his condition, realising its cause and directing his life to minimise a potential reoccurrence. On the whole Spike Milligan was a good man who stuck with his phenomenal talent, and who tried his best under very strenuous circumstances in his life not only for himself, but for his children and others. RIP Spike. Thank you for all you gave us. We miss you.

his life with ptsd is insightful.

2023. The anti christ and a cup of tea brought me here.

'either that...or she didn't have a sense of humour.' Lol. 'overdrawn at the bank, and born in India.' odd segue.

Queen Elizabeth surely knew how to put on a royal display of pageantry and adhere to traditions. This new generation, irk. smh.

So there may not be another prince of wales investiture. hmm. Might as well cancel the title like the welsh want them to and call it crown prince and princess already. Let them have a fit over that too.. can't please all.

Spike made several profound points, esp on inflation - met with brief silence. Dimbleby just goes on to the next question.

Lousy interviewer - so unnatural and many interesting points made by Spike are swept away by moving on too quickly with no exploration , no sharing of a moment or elaborating. Makes me feel uncomfortable. Perhaps this style is just a reflection of that period " this is how we do it" and no other way is even thought of What a lovely human being Spike is - so gentle , warm ,self depreciating & funny. I feel I want to slow it down a bit & make it more informal and meander a little.

SPLENDID🇬🇧👍🤪

Given how Prince of Wales Investitures will obviously never happen again. I'm glad we got the full coverage of this one.

He is right his work pursued him.

God gave us a God gifted human and he learned to laugh at himself and take us along with him for ever. I share his philosophy. Thank you.

Gotta love British tradition no-one else comes close 🎉

A complicated man is Spike, but I love so many many elements of his intelligently simple psyche 😊

whats up with the rugby helmet the queen was wearing.
