Richard Herring did write a sit-com that was reasonably successful..."Time Gentlemen, Please", well actually co-written, with Al Murray.
Loved it.
Paid for his London flat.
Thin Blue Line was painfully unfunny. Literally all I remember was Mina Anwar dressed for undercover work on the "street corner"
Yes i also remember that 👍😁
I have to admit, I did enjoy the Sherlock Holmes/Biggles skit.
I remember the DCI telling the Sargent not to mess up or it would go back to him by saying the line ‘your cock up, my arse!’. Funny line.
@Longrodvonhugendon yes very true, but it was still shite 💩
@Longrodvonhugendon na it was piss poor 😔
Nick Hancock is not a west Ham supporter he supports Stoke City please remember this 😅
A Previous video it was stated he was an Evertonian! I felt bad correcting that, but less so now!
Nicks obviously a Londoner, just listen to his thick cockney accent.
I think he’s just having a laugh with us now.
@@mgthestrange9098 and long may it continue. I’d love to see Nick Hancock turned into a meme.
It's a running joke.
The Thin Blue was probably Rowan Atkinsons weakest work for me. Just never remember ever laughing at it
To be fair to ‘The Thin Blue Line’, it still lives on in memes. You see gifs or videos occasionally, technically never dead even though some of these kids sharing the memes were born way after it stopped airing.
Well, he DId say that TBL doesn't really qualify as "probsbly forgotten" and said he was really just building a huge collection of 90's sitcoms.
I actually thought the TBL was quite funny.
It should never have been cancelled
@@teecee1567 I've got the DVD David Haig made that show watchable
The 90s were the 60s upside down
Literally or metaphorically?
i remember watching life after birth during my teenage years, Emma Cunliffe occupied my thoughts for a while. Do remember enjoying the show though.
I’m looking forward to Time Gentlemen Please featuring on one of these videos (assuming it’s not already been on). It’s a deceptively clever sitcom and one of the best kept secrets of the early 00s.
Yup..and richard Herring co-wrote it with Al Murray. Extremely good sitcom. TERRY! YOU'RE BARRED!
I remember seeing a commercial for The Thin Blue Line. Didn't actually see the show though. Haven't heard of any of the others.
It's legit brilliant, I loved it
I remember another article from 1993 about Ken Morley's pay demands - he compared the offer he received for playing Reg Holdsworth to asking Ryan Giggs to play for Halifax Town.
Well he went on to dominate the British TV scene and then onto Hollywood fame, so he got the last laugh. He's getting a star on the boulevard next year, so I heard.
Excellent Vlog
Am a train driver and have a story about Ken Morley.
It was about 96-97ish.
At Manchester airport station and he appeared down the escalator.we had about 20 mins turn around so was just standing on the platform watching the people going and coming off there hols.
I did not recognise him but my Conductoress did.
1st, he complained about the train looking like a bus. My answer there is a good taxi and bus service outside. He made a comment about me being a scouser and thinking we are funny.
2nd, he asked who I was I told him the driver and he asked how old I was cause I looked like I had just got out of a pram. I was 26 round that time.
He asked did it go to Manchester and if so why did it have Liverpool on the destination.
3rd, the conductoress asked him for a autograph and his reply was “I charge £10 for these”. She laughed thinking a joke and he put the paper in his pocket and got on the train.she never got that autograph what I can remember.
I chuckled to myself when you was reading the headline about him and thinking of Linda’s face when he put the paper in his pocket cause she never gave him a tenner 🤣🤣🤣.
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
"co-written by Nick Hancock, that well-known West Ham supporter"... pretty certain he was a Stoke City fan 🤔
You get the feeling most of these sitcoms start off with the title and they try to write a 'comedy' to fit it.
Monkey Tennis?
There is footage of my good friend I watched the two series on here a few weeks ago. It'was lovely little show.
"Too much f*nnying around!"
Thanks lads. I spent most of the nineties in The Netherlands. We got bbc1 and bbc2, but not the commercial channels. Thanks you for showing me that I missed nothing.
Enjoyed 'My Good Friend' if I remember right Minnie Driver stared in it before she went to Hollywood
Yes it's on here or was a few months ago I watched the two series. Minnie Driver only stared in the first series.
Ken Morley, allegedly, propositioned lots of very young men during his tour of university student union bars around this time. A chap I was at uni with at the time was shocked at the suggestion he received.
Is there anything on TV as depressing as watching an actor contractually oblige their way through a failing comedy script, leaving beats in case somebody else finds it funnier than they do?
Don't forget Filthy Rich and Catflap
Bread os the reason i hate Carla Lane. I done think the McGann brothers outing made a dent in how scousers are perceived, i can barely remember it.
I do remember Ken Morley reduced to appearing on early Safestyle UK ads in the 90s. Perhaps they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
I remember The Blind Men it was a show with a carry on type script full of innuendo and double entrenders . Ben Elton admitted The Thin Blue Line was a deliberate copy of Dads Army he said " I wanted to write a sitcom about a bunch of idiots I just seen a episode of DA and then the news about a hapless policeman and it all fell in place just substitute the army for police. "
I was drunk etc chasing tail most of the 90s so I can't remember anything but the matrix and oasis
I always look forward to your videos
Herring co wrote a great sitcom with Al Murray called Time Gentlemen Please.
One for a future episode no doubt
Sarah Crowe was a belter in Carry on Columbus.
Is Sarah Crowe doing an impersonation of Frank Spencer in that Philadelphia ad?
As the 90s barrel is getting well and truly scraped, I'm hoping he'll squeeze out a few more 2000s (2000-05 really) videos, as thats when my pop culture brain really activated. Watching these 80s and 90s vids is like playing hardmode personally, I take about 1 memory in 10 vids to be a success.
AH, I look at it the other way round. If I remember seeing even one of them it's a fail. They are dire.
I'd quite like to see The Book Group be covered. The first series was excellent. The second...not so much, but still watchable.
Compared with Blessed and The Wright Way, The Thin Blue Line was a work of genius. How Ben Elton came up with Upstart Crow after years of utter drivel I will never know - but I’m glad he did!
I like the thin Blu line, upstart crow is middling
From about 10:23, I couldn't understand a word that bloke said!
Could do a top 10 type cast actors.
I mean George Cole would always be Arthur.
Christopher Ellison will always be DI Burnside, although that said, he didn't attempt much else!
Must be others.
John Nettles and Bergerac?
Tom Baker?
Didn't half have a thing for Sara Crowe back in the day :D
Her in Carry on Columbus though...
Haha love this Lee thanks, bloody thin blue line, what a load of s**t 😂
You need to start doing British films you propley forgot about
Hope Nick Hancock isn't watching this
The Thin Blue Line is one of Ben Elton's best, along with Upstart Crow. Although a part of me wants to see The Wright Way out of morbid curiosity!
More tripe-trawling … can it get any worse? (probably) 💩
Thin blue line being voted 34th best comedy is just stupid
Just wanted to say I am loving your channel - thank you!
I remember My Good Friend, the first series also starred Minnie Driver as the owner of the house George Cole’s character moved into. She didn’t return for the second series as she making movies in Hollywood then.
The Philadelphia ad actress was extremely attractive
The only ones I remember are 'The Thin Blue Line' and 'Dressing For Breakfast'. Even my impossible to please father loved 'The Thin Blue Line. I never liked the Philadelphia Cheese commercials, I found Ann and Sara annoying in them.
I bloody love Philidelphia though, the sound of the blonde woman’s voice is enough to send me running to the fridge! 🤍💙😋
Have you done Let Them Eat Cake (BBC1) yet?
Did they steal the Bottom set for that Sometime Never one?
1:08 the thin blue line with james dreyfus
I remember Life After Birth. Very much a mid 90s sitcom due to the shows credit sequence of stop motion film, rollercoasters and Teenage Fanclub. I mean it cannot get more 90s than that… damn I miss it
Afterbirth? Disgusting. They'll put anything on TV these days.
Every time I watch The Thin Blue Line I _wish_ I could forget it.
You could just stop watching it
Seriously it's not that bad, 2nd tier yes , have you tried watching Mrs brown's boys or Miranda!?
@Just James Hahaha you funny. _You_ should be in a sitcom. I bet no-one would remember that.
I thought it was great when I was young because of James Dreyfuss arsing around, and Rowan Atkinson is good in anything. I rewatched the series twice since it first aired, but every time, Mina Anwar (badly) acting as a mouthpiece for Ben Elton's childish political hot takes pissed me off more and more.
The last time I watched it was last year, when I found it was on Amazon Prime Video. Couldn't even finish it. Done.
@R Philips Geekery Yes. One episode of each. The biggest advantage that Thin Blue Line had over them, is that I watched it before I was old enough to have a sense of taste.
I loved it tbh. But I was a child when it was on
I loved Dressing for Breakfast 😊
Remember Upwardly Mobile well. One of RTÉ's rare attempts at a sitcom. Gerard McSorley and Joe Rooney would go on to star as Fr. Todd Unctuous and Fr. Damo Lennon in Father Ted.
Is that Joan Sims in the still from My Good Friend? Nice of you to admit this is basically a long compilation of sitcoms. Actually, I have heard of hardly any of these. The Philly ad is more memorable (and funnier) than the sitcom clips. With the exception of the marginal Thin Blue Line, they are horrors shows.
Blind Men at last. The credit sequence had Abba’s The Winner Takes It All over it. Would you put George Cole’s Route Into Europe as a comedy?
ken morley is an odd one. i remember him floating up and down on his back in chorley baths with his stupid glasses and loud trunks on
You're fantastic
Flash harry was never made no mention on Wikipedia on his profile not even a picture of morley
Finally you show Sometime Never I only ever watch one episode and that was enough
Has anyone noticed that ITV rarely do decent sitcoms? I can only think of a handful that were any good.... Duty Free, the Doctor at/in, George and Mildred... There may be a few more.. but a tiny amount compared to the Beeb. The BBC is MASSIVELY better at making sitcoms. I wonder why that is?
Watching was good, better than Duty Free, etc.
Rising Damp was ITV as well I think..
@@mgthestrange9098 The only great sitcom shown on the ITV network was Rising Damp, and with the exception of the odd half-decent one, everything else pales into insignificance.
Let us not forget Oh Crikey, Rick’s favourite programme. 🙃😂
The Sooty Show? :P
Another 90s one; Days Like These, apparently this was a remake of That 70s show, Ann Bryson again in this one
Have you done I Lovett?
A few repeats won't hurt... mission statement of UKTV :D
Has he ever covered a sitcom from 97 set in a secondary school. Can't remember the name.
Chalk was the sitcom with David Bamber and Nicola Walker if this is what you are thinking of.
It was coming from the same writer and producer as Joking Apart, the latter having a small but dedicated audience. Not to mention said writer had written Press Gang.
The BBC were so impressed with the studio audience reaction they gave Chalk another series although the first hadn't been screened.
This backfired when Chalk made it to air (I believe originally it was the Nine O'Clock News leadout). The viewers at home never took to it like the studio audience did.
The 2nd series as a result was screened out of primetime to little audience.
@@andrewbarton2590 I remember it being terrible lol
@@TheRealMike1976 To add, at one point, Pola Jones (the production company) almost ran out of money towards the end of the 1st series, hence an episode was scripted where the main cast were in a staff room so they could save on paying for guest stars.
Some of the supporting characters in that episode were played by Chalk's production crew.
Not being ageist but isnt it good that George cole got work well past most older people
8:15 The flat from sometime never looks similar to Richie and Eddie's flat in bottom. I wonder if its the same set?
My thought exactly. It surely is.
It amazes me Nick gave up comedy and went back into finance
Nick Hancock is a Stoke City supporter!
Yes, it's a running joke in these videos. Each time Hancock comes up, he's given a different club, seeing as he never seemed to shut up about Stoke.
Paul Merton was in a comedy "galton and simpson presents.." basically paul merton acting in the scripts written for Tony Hancock.. i thought it was ok but a lot of people hated it.
I remember that. I like it. I don't know why it got so much hate. I love Hancock also
I remember this thin blue line it was funny
Upwardly Mobile.... Dear God
Nick Hancock is well known for being a big Stoke City fan?
That's the joke.
Oh Reg Holdsworth, Stop Fannying about..
There is great Irish comedy called
Molloy bishop Brennan plays a
Idle security guard
It's really funny.
Also there was an Irish French comedy called Roses from Dublin
David Kelly was in it it's hilarious
Takes the piss out of the Irish/French and the arty farty crowd
Welcome back
I love watching these particular (top) 10's. A lot of work clearly put in !
She read some internet list and said it outloud, you can tell there's bugger all work put in given how many of the shows she mentions never actually existed.
Damn, you got me, I DID forget about Sex amongst the stalactites since it was never produced. What level of interest qualifies for you to accuse us of forgetting about something? If you imagined Freddie Starr dreamed a sitcom about Eva Braun working in an electric razor factory, is it gonna turn up in the next "ideas you forgot about" vid?
You put the word possibly in big letters, at the start of this video, but then say the word probably. Why? Never mind, you have probably, or possibly, forgot about it....
If we’re moving to the naughties at some point, gonna kick off with The Strangerers written by Rob Grant of Red Dwarf fame. More in the comedy drama bracket but suffice to say, it didn’t last.
Now that is an obscure one. Great supporting cast, including Milton Jones if I remember.
They also did The 10%ers.
I’ll add hardware to that. Set in a DIY shop starting Martin freeman, Peter Serafinowicz and coincidentally Ken Morley.
@@turtle1154loved that show, it was quite shocking to see ryan cartright who (played steve) show up in bones and alphas later on and martin freeman and peter serafinowicz being in marvel films
There was a sitcom from the eighties called 'Slingers Day'.
It starred Bruce Forsyth and David Kelly as two supermarket managers.
You’re not thinking of Slinger’s Day are you? That was a sitcom that starred Bruce Forsyth as a supermarket manager. It is what Tripper’s Day morphed into after Leonard Rossiter passed away.
@@BarryFrancis Possibly. I could be mixing up the title of the sitcom with the name of the supermarket in it.
@@jonathanmcfadden8499 Yeah.. Trippers Day starred Brucie as Cecil Slinger. It was crap. Truly....crap.
@@teecee1567 Trippers day was Leonard Rossiter & Slingers Day was Bruce Forsyth
Tr ippers Day\Slingers Day was remade for CTV in Canada (and syndication in the US) as Check It Out.
Don Adams (yes, the guy from Get Smart and later the voice of Inspector Gadget) took on the Bruce\Leonard role.
Also in the cast of Check It Out was Simon Reynolds, who would later voice Maxie's boyfriend on the Maxie's World TV series.
Upwardly Mobile. *shudders*
The Thin Blue Line was one of the greatest ever
AMAZING .... BUT Nick ,like myself are Stoke city fans
That's the joke... Nick was notorious for mentioning Stoke when he was on TV at any opportunity. Lee's just having a bit of a laugh by saying he's an Everton/West Ham/whatever supporter
