Being born in Royston near Barnsley (the same Barnsley where Michael Parkinson hails from and he is a Yorkshire man) makes Charlie Williams a Yorkshire man garinda, not an adopted one.

He was funny without having to resort to smut and foul language to get a laugh, which is more than can be said of many of today’s alleged comedians.

So he poked fun at himself and his race, so what? He wasn’t cruel with it and it did more to break down the race barriers than any Whitehall dictats.

Hopefully ITV will now produce a compilation of his slots on The Comedians on DVD.
