    As a youngster in the late 70's and early 80's I used to frequent the City Tavern, Haymarket, Farmers Rest and The Percy, Friday night and for gigs used to be off to the Mayfair, apart from The Percy all gone now, sadly.

    My wife lived in St Cuthbert's Village and the bath scene was filmed in her mam and dad's flat. Her dad had been at work from 5.30 am in the redheugh iron and steel works and when he finished he went straight home, there he was met by numerous cameras rolling and as he was starving he walked straight through the middle of the set. He basically said after he was shouted at , you know what you can do I've been at work I'm dirty and hungry so you lot can f... Off .
    Oh and they got nothing for the use of the flat as it was council !.

    Awesome video and well done for pointing that out about the pubs. They also filmed some of Get Carter in North Blyth on the coal staithes. My mother was pregnant with me at the time and she went down to watch them filming it. Ian Hendry signed an autograph for my mother but Michael Caine wouldn’t come down of the set.

    Hi Eddie, another interesting and informative video. It's also fascinating to read the comments from your viewers about how locals appeared to be have been used as unpaid extras, as it adds weight to the story may mam told. Whilst filming was talking place she and my grandma came home, (to Blyth) from a trip to Newcastle, telling us they had seen Michael Caine and will be in the film. Apparently they had decided to go for a game of bingo and were in the hall when the bingo scene was filmed. They said they had been asked if they were extras, but replied, "No we're here for the bingo." Thinking about it at home, they then wondered if they had missed out on a few bob! Sad to say they never made it to the film cut, if indeed they had been caught on camera at all. Cheers Eddie keep up the good work.

    Hey Eddie, I’ve always known it was the Northeastern that Jack walks into. When Joe Robertson opened a bar on the approximate site of the Northeastern, he called it the Long Bar in recognition of this, he also hung pictures from Get Carter around the bar too.
    Also if you look closely at the scene in the Long Bar you’ll notice the five fingered man drinking at the bar.

    The Spit And Vomit was actually a knocking shop frequented by women who had £5 chalked on the soles of their shoes. After my first session in there as a 16 year old I asked me dad what that meant -he said that's how much they charge for a fuck. Get Carter was filmed in The Long Bar and those famous lines were said at "Alf Robert's" house and not at the car park.

As usual you are on top of your game when it comes to everything Newcastle. the long bar you mentioned was a gem, pity its gone unfortunately like a lot of the iconic pubs, bars and some amazing clubs Mayfair, Go-Go come to mind lost but not yet forgotten.

    I love "Get Carter" but it's very hard to suspend disbelief with Michael Caine having not even a hint of a Geordie accent, despite Newcastle supposedly being his "home town". This was never explained. He made quite a reasonable effort doing a "posh" accent whilst he was
    killing thousands of Zulus, but was Geordie his ultimate defeat? lol :)

    The Old Spit & Vomit - remember it well. Caine's problem as an actor was that he was totally incapable of speaking in other than a cockney accent. This to me undermined the credibility of an otherwise excellent film somewhat, as he was definitely supposed to be a geordie. The film was based on the Ted Lewis novel 'Jack's return Home'. What about a vid on the infamous multi story car park? It was a hideous Brutalist erection designed by the Owen Luder Partnership, mercifully demolished in 2010.

Caine told him they were real in the bar scene as they were all regulars and the pub manager dare not throw them out because they would never return to that boozer again.

    Whilst I don't dispute what happened, the footage doesn't prove anything, the movie took so many liberties with continuity.

      It proves he didn’t walk directly across the road into the Victoria Comet, which is claimed in writing by the pub. In addition, you’ll see in comments on here that family members are aware that the scene was filmed in ‘The Long bar’ (not the VC).
      And hating to state the obvious, if the scene was actually filmed in the VC, why go to all the trouble to show him walking towards the The North Eastern Bar and not directly across the road into the VC.
      All added up, it seems proof enough 👍🏻

      @@TynesideLife As i said i'm not disputing the claims but the film has plenty places where he's in a journey where he ends up somewhere else in the next clip. You could fessibly watch him go in the door of that pub and the indoor shot would be somewhere else. I'm just saying the footage misleads throughout the movie

      @@redf7209 I accept your broad point. thankfully however, I haven’t produced a video about the movie. I’ve produced a video about a specific claim, about a specific scene in a very famous movie for this area.
      The evidence pretty much is categorically at odds with the ‘tourism’ claim made by the VC
