A giant of 70s comedy so glad he never got caught up in savilgate.

Little and Large were responsible for the most atrocious Saturday night shows ever and that is saying something.
They come from an era when the common sense of humour was akin to an eight year old, or at least that is what the networks thought.

That said, I'm sad to hear that another '70s 'icon' has left us.

RIP.

What sad news.
'Little and Large' provided entertainment for so many over several years.
I recall seeing Eddie Large attending a Man C game at Selhurst Park, many,many years ago.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Eddie Large at this sad time.RIP.

I used to love watching them as an eight year old therefore their humour was definitely appreciated then. In those days, Little & Large (as with the likes of Val Doonican) would command TV ratings commanding figures well into double figure millions, albeit because there were only x 3 TV stations to choose from then.

Exactly. They were funny for kids but as a vehicle for Saturday night entertainment for adults, they were dreadful.
They were not alone in that to be fair.
I remember the first time they were on TV on opportunity knocks and it made me laugh but I was a kid .

They were edgy in comparison to the Chuckle Brothers though.

Could respond to this but it would only end up being a case of 'to me, to you'...

I got into the audience for the first comic relief and got a 10 minute blast of L&L in between videos of Lenny Henry being patronising in Africa - I know the beeb shows were naff, but live is a different matter, no matter how naff the tv product these guys were pros, they paid the rent making people laugh and when you were sat in front of them they knew how to make you laugh - Jimmy Saville starting his car ah-uh-ah-uh-ah nothing original, and the studio bods change the lighting to alter your mood, a glowing pink when sid and eddie were on bleach white for lenny in africa, but credit where it's due I s******ed, chuckled and laughed away, if they did not have presence and talent they would not have been able to get to a point where they could make saturday night drivel, prefer them to Ant and Dec who have got f all talent, just brass neck and bullsh*t.
