He quite often sits with the commentators on the gantry in the East Stand. Usually arriving after the game has started.0

Love this picture and his reaction.

Jimbo is in his mid 60's and his comedy since he was 20 has reflected the times and also he gave his audience what they found funny.
We now have a fully multi racial society with London being totally cosmopolitan with a myriad of different folk from all over the globe. Chalky, 'Jim's black mate' a character from 4 decades ago doesn't reflect the young Black and dual heritage people who have been born and raised in this Country.
Despite never having been into his comedy; he is a Charlton fan and that's one redeeming feature, though I always thought he was mad for getting married so many times and all that dosh he has to pay out.
I got news for most of the younger guys on here from a white background. So many of your Dad's, Grandad's would've had similar views from Jim if they came from the 'working classes' or even the likes of Churchill who would have ticked all the boxes for Racist, sexist and homophobic because they were the majority view back in the day.
2021 is a different world.
Couldn't get away with that type of humour now of course but back then I did find him funny
If being offended by racism, sexism and homophobia is just a “pathetic little thing” I plead guilty. As too gardening I hate it personally but see it’s a greatly loved pursuit of many that is beneficial to all. If indoor bowls is on and I chance on it I enjoy watching it. It’s very soothing and nap enabling.4 -

Some people won't be happy until there's no comedy - then nobody is "offended".
Jim takes the piss out of everyone, regardless of colour, sex, religion, ability etc etc
Chalky White is an impression of a black pal of his - if it's racist, how come Chalky regularly came out on top in Jim's gags?
Your problem is the accent and the assumption that all black people speak/behave like Chalky. They don't...anybody with an ounce of intelligence knows that.
Do you get offended by Eddie Murphy or Lenny Henry doing impressions of white people? Do all impressionists need to stop their work unless the impression is of somebody from the same country/background/religion as them? Absolute bonkers! No daft Irish gags then....no Scotsmen are tight gags...no gags that involve a French accent or from anywhere else in the world.
Stop hate gags - absolutely, totally agree with that. But please stop this insistence of wiping all gags/banter/joking from this earth - you're making the world a very boring place.
FTR - I'm neither Right wing or left. I'm straight down the middle. Just want to get on with life as best I can with whoever I can regardless of background.25 -
What is deemed offensive now,was not looked at in the same light years ago.Anyone remember the Les Berry testimonial against Arsenal,Jim did the introductions with "Here com de Arsenal team"as Paul Davis,Micky Thomas etc. run out pissing themselves laughing.0

Jim does a lot of charity work for the Armed Forces Veterans etc, expect the lefties hate that!3

Great post Arry, right on the money.3

Met Jim in London a couple of years ago. Was more than happy to have a chat. Came across as a nice bloke!0

I seem to remember Jim Bowen????!!! represented us, gawd knows why.
The only possible link I can see between this programme and Charlton is that ATV was, at the time, controlled by Lew Grade, Michael's uncle.
Up For The Cup was so bad, it was never recommissioned. ATV itself folded just over a year later.0 -
That's because he is.
Too many people upset by the fact some of his act 40 years ago is now considered in poor taste but it's mainly because he's a working class Tory. And a lot of posters on here hate that.4 -

Saw Jimbo at the Fairfield Halls about two months after we relegated palice.
There were around 2,000 there, not all of them appreciated his Sha la la song!3 -
