Beggar My Neighbour - S2 Ep2 - A Host of Friends

A rare sit-com from 1967 starring Reg Varney, Pat Coombs, Desmond Walter-Ellis and June Whitfield, focusing on miss-matched neighbours.
Out of the three original series spanning 23 episodes, only 7 are known to survive; one episode from the first series and all six from series two.

I just notice that during the credits there're using the same font style as they would later use in Dad's Army.

wow you have made my year I've always wanted to see beggar my neighbour as I think Reg Varney and Pat Coombs are two greats of comedy. I wonder if all the other episodes from Series 2 will ever become available do you have any more episodes.

Thanks for your kind comment, it's always nice to have positive feedback. This is all I have of the series at the min I'm afraid, should I get anymore, you'll find it here :)

+British Comedy Rarities thank you very much I'm a massive fan of classic Ray 60s comedy there's also a sitcom from the 60s that featured a belief in the starring role Joanna Lumley that's another one been waiting to see

I like on the buses, but this is rubbish.

[@martinepstein3332]

Watch something else then

[@georgiaraynes1421]

Terrible acting

[@paulhay7791]

It's a particular style. The standard sitcom was written and acted a bit over the top. I watched this in the 60's.

Seemed to have little rehearsals as I heard a few almost fluffed lines, but I guess that makes it more realistic than today's overly polished and almost robotic delivery of line's.
Agree it did seem as though they were reading quickly from a dog eared joke book, far to many one liners being fired off
