EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1960s, a time when television programming was beginning to explore social issues with a touch of humor. Pictured in this iconic image are three legendary comedians: Kenny Lynch, Spike Milligan, and Eric Sykes. They were part of the groundbreaking TV programme "Curry and Chips" where Spike Milligan fearlessly portrayed an immigrant named Kevin O'Grady. In this satirical show, set in a joke factory, Milligan's character worked as a floor sweeper while facing racial ridicule from his colleagues. The series aimed to shed light on the prevalent racism and stereotypes faced by immigrants during that era. With their impeccable comedic timing and wit, these talented actors managed to tackle sensitive subjects through laughter. The photograph captures an important moment in television history when comedy became a vehicle for social commentary. It serves as a reminder of how far society has progressed since then while acknowledging the challenges that were once faced by minority communities. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to appreciate the bravery of these performers who used their platform to challenge prejudice and promote understanding. This print stands as both a testament to their talent and a symbol of progress towards inclusivity within our entertainment industry.
