I was born in 1994 and started watching Steptoe and son when I was 2 years old and have been hooked ever since. I was born in the wrong era and don't fit into the bullshit we live in now.
I remember as a young tacker sitting on my mum or dads knee, watching Steptoe and son, it was a time when both parents were laughing and not shouting,me and my sister were allowed to stay up until 9pm which was mmmassive for a little 7year old lady,well,I'm an old fart according to my mates kuds however,I still love these episodes,and I like to think that whenever I watch one on UA-cam, my folks are watching down and still laughing,it's a lovely memory and I can relive it episode by episode many thanks UA-cam for making it happen, cheers 🍻 Robbie Renalson Devonport Tassie
I am a fan, but re-watching the entire back catalogue recently, I feel we sometimes look back with rose-tinted speaks - there were a lot of really poor episodes and a lot of repeated plot. I put this episode towards the better efforts, with 4/5 really, really excellent episodes in total.
Yep. It's historically accurate (add no dogs and no Irish too) but I'm glad we've moved on. Seems like some in the UK are intent in dragging us back to these grim times, sadly.
I don't think it would just be the politically correct 😂. As much as I like SAS, the world has moved on from such terminology - it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the humour either
Back then it was us and them and for the them it was them and us, then the them moved here and now we can't be an us any more but the them can still be a them and us
I was bond 1968, Steptoe an son came to our telly 📺 I think 62 when they started the show it was d 70,s when I frist got to know steptoe an son They became part of my life watching them eath week was like getting now homework 😂😂 thay we're the best tell aviation at that time still to this day I look forward to putting them on an getting a good old laugh 😃 😅greg p from 🇮🇪Ireland Dublin 8 🇮🇪
Yes, the laughing was great. I hadto wait till I left home to get to see them. No TV allowed in our house! And they were so like my Hubby's Family !! ❤
Such great acting from both of them in this one.. The way that Harold looks away in slight pain, regret and disappointment when Albert tells him that he's rented his room out to a lodger. So subtle but says so much.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
The chances of a comedy written this well ever appearing again are near on impossible. The chances of a comedy ever being acted so well is never going to happen again for as long as the sun shines.
I can imagine all the snowflakes will faint watching this.
They'd probably be offended by a horse working
Imagine putting Albert's advert in the window today
Like the general talking about the west indies in Fawley Towers
Very much of its time. Say it now to someone's face and good luck. You'll need it.
The snowflakes are the ones who think having watched a tv show in the 60s makes them Douglas Bader
I love steptoe and son I could never get bored of them one of the greatest comedy films off all time rip to both of them

Me too. It's crap now.
@bbyng7316 it's meant to be..check agenda 2030
I was born in 84 and grew up with these classic sitcoms
True talen, good writing
Everything missing from modern TV
@@PaulH-hl5hw Yes I know about it
@markj5054 great 👍
Hope you watch thecrowhouse..etc..

Made me smile this Robbie 30 years of steptoe in my life so far
Could watch these all day
I do 😂
Brilliant writing, Brilliant acting. Classical comedy.
Comedy and Pathos from two great actors. 👍

@@christopherpenny6083 not at all
@@ac1dP1nk thanks for the insightful response. It's an opinion anyway so not right or wrong
What an absolute gem 💎
Awwe@ thst smile Albert gave at the end was so sweet. It was him saying "Welcome home son"
Great episode... very funny. BTW, the Queen of England pub, is now called "the Duchess" - 320 Goldhawk Road.
Has that area changed a lot since then, do you know?
That part ofLondon is posh now no rag and bone merchants
reminds me of my grandad used to be lol he was from that era same year as brambel 1912 and hated modern ways and long haired earwigs as he called them
To many snowflakes In this country now 🙄
It makes me chuckle how it's only heterosexual white people who use the term 'snowflakes,' as nothing offensive is aimed at them.
Then, they shouldn't watch it instead of trying to spoil it for the rest of us
What in shite has that comment got to do with anything? Take a day off being a gammon
Dear old Harry H Corbett was so funny
Love all the videos of steptoe
If they put this on the politically correct mob would have a field day at 8:23
Hard to believe it was perfectly legal to put a sign like that in the window

@@mazzab1970 now it's there just not said, like "no single mums".
OMG. They’re back on!!!! And some new ones. 6 to go by My calculations. 😁😁😁Happy Bunny here.
Absolute genius comedy writing, the chemistry between the two characters portrayed gloriously. 😂🎉
Thanks a million great comedy 😁😁😁
love this one particularly. shows such hidden tenderness!
I can just watch these over and over!!
uk was a different place, racism was not even racism back then.
Back then it was us and them and for the them it was them and us, then the them moved here and now we can't be an us any more but the them can still be a them and us

This is comedy 🤣 Gold
Love Steptoe and Son
Really funny this can't stop laughing at this
Brilliant
Poor Harold. So proud....
Can't blame Harold objecting to a lodger foul Idea 👎
One of the few things keeping me sane!!
I love this the UK have the best comedy I'd watch this over an over ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never watched the black-and-white episodes. Thank you so much.
Great acting and funny
This is my favourite one 👌🏼10/10
😂😂👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could have had some fun who the lodger could have been
Philip from Rising Damp 😂
Absolutely Brilliant!
Poor old man can't win in this one
11:50 Nightwatchman's tent.
Rooms 1/- a week.
Best of the best… love watching these two…
What happened to the episode ( The Piano ) ?
I watched that episode a couple of nights ago.
@fionaoliver7237 I’ll search it again
excellent.

Anybody know where the queen of England pub is ?
Looks like the pub is now called 'The Duchess' on Goldhawk Road which ties in with the area where the Steptoes live in the series!
@@CanterburyAyles thank you
320 goldhawk Road...The facade of the Sweet shop is now a brick wall and railings...
@@pjtdecor thanks
One of the best episodes
I'm in ..... advertising . Yeah , Harold , we saw ya !!
Have some of the colourised videos gone?
Awesome video but I wish we could have other episodes like the economist and the holiday properly on here

I know the feeling. Derelict.
I hate being poor
16:04 Never in a million years thought I’d see Albert do the Running Man!!!
This and rising damp bestvever.
I would like to see Wilfred Brambell play brothers with Peter Cushing. I know they are both passed.
Wilfred Brambell was 52 when he said he was 66 in this episode! I had to look it up because I thought he was about 70!
Ho Harrold. You are a one. But I love you. Thank you dad. 😊😊❤❤
No wogs. " there's good wogs and bad wogs "😂😂😂
in next weeks episode some bird tells Harold he's a SUPER MAN.
Wogs 😂
Thanks!
OFAH was based on Steptoe.
No I don't think so

These two worked so well together but once the filming ended they rarely spoke to one and other they both thought they had out smarted each other
