This is so funny! Stan Laurel has to be one of the funniest British comedians of the day, I think this is great. I mean, the end scene, the invisible cards (you dropped one)and this had all the elements of a classic, which is what it is. Long live Laurel and Hardy!

Oh yeah, it was on BBC today, I didn't laugh one time, the humor is just not of today anymore...

Really? I can't say I agree, because I laughed. Some of the slapstick was pretty awful, but the jokes were funny, and I laughed a lot! Especially the fact that the lady was so pantomimical! (I think that's the word, at least...)

You're right. They didn't swear even once.
