	Telegraph \| News \| Dave Allen
		Dave Allen, the comedian who died on Thursday night aged 68, was the master of urbane and laconic disquisitions on the more surreal details of daily life.
		Allen would frequently refer to the Catholic nuns at his childhood convent in Ireland as "the Gestapo in drag", and recall how the Carmelite priests who educated him in his teens told him that Satan "manifested himself in the loins of boys".
		According to Allen, his father lost a foot in a lift accident; it was so badly trapped that he had to cut it off with his pen-knife, and he then married the nurse who tended him.

		Allen's choice of a career as a stop-motion animator was the result seeing the films of Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen in the 1950s and early 1960s.
		Allen's first work in a theatrical feature can be seen in EQUINOX (1967 but not released until 1971), in which he animated a nightmarish octopus-like creature, a giant tusked simian character called Taurus and other creatures.
		It was one of the rare occasions when Allen stepped in front of the camera and as such is now a treasured reminder of the Puppet Master who put so many monstrous creatures and fantastic dreams up on the cinema screen.

		I can still remember his Tonight With Dave Allen series, which was aired on public television in the US.
		My parents used to watch his show, which was on TV quite late - far too late for a kid my age but since I was a night owl already at a tiny age, they usually let me sit with them and watch TV is I couldn't sleep and had nothing to read.
		I really liked Dave Allen and his whiskey glass :) At that time, nobody believed kids would turn into alcoholics because they watched somebody on TV drink alcohol.

		Allen and Lowery have similarly nasal vocal timbres, and Allen's slightly-Devoto-esque English accent produces some of the same effect as Lowery's perpetual sneer.
		Their songs brandish predictable structures and chord changes as if they were inherently virtuous, and Lowery's underachiever lyrics make me cringe and glower simultaneously, which is how I found out that it is medically possible to sprain your forehead.
		Allen, on the other hand, uses the central chord changes as a scaffolding on which to drape buzzing keyboards, misfiring hand-claps, staticky radio samples, acoustic guitars, banjo, violin, jangly piano, synth accordion and a host of happily erratic background vocalists.
