And why is this interview still so relevant today! It reminds me of the interview of Brigitte Kaandorp by Andries Knevel about her song called "Andries Knevel", same vibes. Something like:: "How dare you say something which goes against my perception."
In the opening scene when the bus approaches and Bolam sticks out his hand to stop it and the bus driver ignores him and drives on. He obviously knows that Bolam won't have any money to pay his fare.
Malcolm Muggeridge said it will have absolutely no influence in the long run, and he was absolutely wrong about that. He’s been dead now for 24 years and he lived to the ripe old age of 87
I like to think had the Nazarene seen the film himself, he would laugh knowingly, say something to the effect of “Yeah, there were a lot of people who said that at the time.” and kissed everyone who left the theater and reminded them to Love G-d and their neighbor as themselves.
At the end of episode three, the serving hatch door falls on Bob's left hand. At the start of episode four, he's got the fingers of his right hand bandaged.
It's geet canny like, the theme tune lyrics are so appropriate. Remember the slum clearances as a kid. Was good to have a sitcom from the true north of England, just the lack of Geordie/ Mackem twang
They don't speak with accents, they speak with received pronunciation, which technically is not an accent. There's no such thing as a 'posh accent', that term is completely meaningless.
Listening to the hypocrite Malcolm Muggeridge spilling out his bs is hilarious. If you think he was a devout Christian, he was actually a sexual pervert
i think the film made fun of the followers, and the tendency for people to follow anyone, and that demigrated religion, and belittled religiosity, making them like groupies and Jesus just another bloke being chosen like Brian. I think this is why the priests felt affronted. the followers were but of the joke, ie the priests too.
great stuff
What ever happened to you and me 😢
You don't see 20 foot wide trains these days
No wonder I wasn't allowed to watch much tv in the 70s - boobs!
Stands up today,brilliant!
Never tire of watching great comedy especially these.
and i stand by my comments
Yes, I am good with Python, Monthy Python

photos on a projector sums up how basic things were back then. Rest In Peace Thelma and Bob -played by the late great Brigit Forsyth & Rodney Bewes
Muggeridge and Stockwood acted like a pair of wankers
i am surprised at Malcolm Muggeridge who is a wise man, missed the point.
Miggeridge a wise man? On what planet?

Moan moan whinge whinge

Ant and Dec tried to revive the Likely Lads. Failed miserably
The first few minutes of this could be from a flying circus episode.
Am I right in thinking that terrys sister also played the wife of next door neighbours in George & Mildred??
I swear, the bishop could be a character from a Python sketch. I didn’t think people actually spoke like that
Aprt from the fashions and the occasional news reference, it could have been made yesterday.
is this a comedy? 25 min in, waiting for it... seems like a stage drama
A timeless British classic. Needs to be bought back.

The father in law is Bill Owen, Compo from Last of the Summer Wine TV Series
1973-1 million unemployed. 1.44 million people aged 16 and over were unemployed in the UK during April to June 2024 .
Made in a time that TV programmes were made with professional actors.
At the end of episode three, the serving hatch door falls on Bob's left hand. At the start of episode four, he's got the fingers of his right hand bandaged.
Wish it had a third series
You are the messiah, my lord, and I should know, I've followed a few.
I don't like Bob. Terry makes up for that though.
James Bolam - fabulous actor and made this programme for me.
Kind of ironic that the most played song at British funerals is “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” instead of some Christian hymn.
watching again in 2024. Best of British.
Yeah me too...one episode a night...great stuff !!
"You've never liked Thelma have you"- Terry wasnt the only one.....She was awful.
Absolutely hated this.
No hiding place is one of the greatest comedy episodes of all time.
Merci, gracias, thank's...........Love !
A British friend of mine introduced me this old tv show. This is a very good way to learn about British humour.
It's geet canny like, the theme tune lyrics are so appropriate. Remember the slum clearances as a kid. Was good to have a sitcom from the true north of England, just the lack of Geordie/ Mackem twang
Great to see Linda Preston (Deidre Costello) of 'I didn't know you cared ' fame ,in a small part .
Strange, I've known Cleese and Palin my whole life, who are the old guys?
@8:35 The way Terry is all shadowed, and then right after he calls Bob a b****rd, the lights go on revealing his angry face. So perfect!
Stockwood and Muggeridge's accents are so posh, they could convince Prince Phillip that he was an immigrant.
They don't speak with accents, they speak with received pronunciation, which technically is not an accent. There's no such thing as a 'posh accent', that term is completely meaningless.
I’d rather laugh with the sinners, than cry with these two idiots that hide behind the “cloth.”
Just watched the movie for the first time, because of this video. I was laughing to the point of tears.
