I thought Bob & Ray did some brilliant and daring presentations. One that comes to mind was 'Baa Baa Black Sheep", a sketch about a sheep that was being accused of being red or perhaps, Red would be more correct - during the McCarthy hearings, when entertainers were being blown out of the entertainment waters for being suspected of being Communist, or merely refusing to discuss the matter, cf Pete Seeger. Little touches like using "The March of the Gladiators", synonymous in the states with a circus, as a bridge or break.

Morcombe and Wise seemed great to me, although I was admittedly only recently exposed to the British comedy scene. Corny at times, but good.
