The joke doesn't need to be that funny (and it isn't), but perfect delivery can work wonders. Unable to move because of an unexploded bomb in his lap, I give you the legendary Arthur Lowe...

Absolutely magical.

I looked at the first clip and then went on to "Don't tell him Pike" It can still make me laugh no matter how many times I see it. Me and Barrie spent the rest of Sunday afternoon looking at the old comedy clips and what a change not to have swearing and shouting to try and make everything seem funny. There are very few truly good comedies on TV now. God I am getting old.!!
