General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I heard Roy Walker on the radio the other day, doing something about the 40th anniversary of The Comedians.

Interviewer asked about the aparrent racism in the jokes, particularly the Irish ones.

Roy explained that at the time that was the norm, but people, including himself, went on to change the slant so as not to be, or appear to be racist.

In his case, he said he introduced his thick brother-in-law character who he named Hugh.

Laterly to become known as Shughie.

I just thought at the time that Shughie was just another Irish mon, like Pat and Mick.
