I’m sorry, but this is just not believable. The steam engine was a Class 23 Albatross which was introduced on GWR in May 1948. It was not introduced into LNER until October 1948 because there was an issue with maintenance of the reciprocal overhead valve and it was felt that the work required would beyond the maintenance team in the North as they were too pre-occupied with whippets and pigeons.
The class 23 was never equipped with the 1925 GPO model telephone as shown in the clip. A schoolboy error. The class 23 always had the 1946 GPO model telephone which included a coin box with the A and B buttons.
If you are going to produce a film like this, I do really think that you need to up your game and get accurate with all your facts. I am available to work with the producers on some future projects as my doctors believe I will be able to return to the community at some stage. I have asked my pet baboon who lives in my bedside cabinet and he thinks the medication is starting to work.
Remarkable, Holmes! I'll go back to drooling.
Comment of the year!
Well-spotted, don't they research these things anymore!
Those damned reciprocal overhead valves again. Caused nothing but trouble. Regards to your baboon.
It wasn't a class 23, you winklegobbler. It was an industrial saddle tank, probably an 0-4-0 shunter and would not have been on the main line pulling a passenger train. Clearly a limited production budget spent at some cheap 3rd class heritage line.
How utterly ludicrous; a passenger train pulled by an industrial saddle tank locomotive? I rather think not.
That is funny.
LOL
Funny thing old chap,...I read that using Mr Cholmondley-Warners voice,...
@@westboundbadger So did I. What cads we are!
Touché, sir!
Superb
Big Suze! Big bad Suze!
Phone on the train, quality
Is she Big Suze? I bloody love her
Wheres the full episode???
Like it!
Is that big suze
Naah cant be true
Mk
:-)
It demonstrates quite clearly that taking care of troublesome domestic issues can be achieved without unpleasantness and sordidness, but thoughtfully, sensitively and in an understated way, which only a public school taught English gentleman is qualified to undertake.
Indubitably.
Quite so.
Well said , I completely agree old chap.
I should cocoa!!
Too true, old chap, too true...
This is not a laughing matter. I have l lived with the consequences of being murdered by my wife for ever so long........ frightful school fees....
👌👌🤣
Shame. I heard she was a decent sort.
Owfly sorry old boy - Wot rotten luck!
Oh I don't know chaps, one might get a commemorative park bench out of it. Jolly handy when feeding the ducks I'd say.
LOL
Puddlespit! I was to send this to my wife for a good bout of hilarity until the ending of the affair, which saw the unfortunate end of a group of jolly good men. I can't have her getting the last laugh over me you see.
Well, i expect she knows her limits.
Things were more straightforward in those days
Oh yes ,Enfield and Whitehouse are consumate performers of the film noir genre ....but if they were to come dahn my street at 4 oclock in the morning , all tanked up and pissing through my neighbours letterboxes with their pants around their ankles and singing `Ob-la-di ` at full volume ...I should say ``Oi Whitehouse , Enfield, NO...OOOOOOOO ! ....etc etc
Excellent. :-)
Credit to you sir, and no mistake.
LOL ace
Hula hoop’s gonna stay round forever!
And give 'im a slap!
That woman did not know her limits
Maybe not, but she absolutely adores fluffy little kittens.
Harry & Paul was such a great series. Hope they do something similar again.
"Murder my wife?" "Really?"...."Meeeee, the Third Duke of Wimburn, a man with MY reputation?..........."
a wireless telephone on a train? good heavens.
But how did Mrs Magilacuddy hear the call? Mrs Fleming didn't speak into the receiver.
It was hands free didn’t you see her headset 😀
Lloyd what are you doing here
What a strange coincidence
It’s a bit like Brexit, isn’t it.
@Lindybeige For that model of telephone, you held the earpiece and spoke into a fixed receiver as into a microphone on a stand.
I just love the way he says "I see." at the beginning. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
“ 🥶 “ 💯🤣😂👍
Feels like how I'd respond to such an outrageous and out-of-the-blue-request. "Oh, OK." Instead of turning the lunatic down.
Perfection. Better than perfect, one feels.
And the other guys “verry well” is terrific.
Sophie Winkleman : seriously one of the most beautiful women EVER. You don't really see it in this scene, but she is almost perfect.
Pervert.
When she comes out as the younger sister in the Polish Cafe sketch it is insane. In the current beauty obsessed world it is amazing she isn't more famous
Remember she also featured in the States in Two and a half men - our chance to make the yanks jealous of us...
I love these suspense thrillers, the way that this one builds slowly, relentlessly to its stunning conclusion over the 110 seconds of the movie. It's one of those "taut psychological thrillers" really.
That dramatic twist at the end was literally the most exciting finish to any movie ever!
I love how cold hearted she is saying "Let's never speak again".
I wouldn't have my wife murdered.
She would have my guts for garters.
To me, this is the absolute best comedy sketch I have ever watched. Ever bit of dialogue, the delivery and even inflection… it’s just superb. I’ve probably watched it 100 times.
It really is brilliant.
Couldn't agree more ol' chap: everything is ship shape and bristol fashion.
The movie is great too.
It's a parody of an early Hitchcock film, "Strangers on a Train". Two strangers meet on a train and undertake to murder each others wives. 😀 Being complete strangers, it would be almost impossible for the police to solve, because there's no connection between them. That's how people whiled away the time, pootling through the English countryside, in the old days.
I like how all of the actors are called Basil in the credits. In truth, I think the only Hitchcock actor called Basil was Basil Radford (but it feels like there were more)
Dial B for Basil?
Basilica Winklegobbler
Hahaha 🤣🤣
theres actually a lot of them living in a retirement home for stiffy actors set up by the late basil rathbone in basildon
Basil Rathbone....?
They are so great at the old black and white stuff.
........R A C I S T !!!!!!!!!!!!
And the colour stuff...
That was surprisingly excellent for something so silly.
Oh what have you done Big suze?
She'll always be big Suze
@@gerardmaroney3918 Who's big Suze?
@@blackmore4
Sophie Winkleman
@Jeff Vader hang on, shouldn't you be controlling the Death Star and making sure all the trays are dry?
@@mikeynma He's too busy eating penne arrabiata (with an unwanted portion of peas) while meting out "death by tray".
This is one of those parodies that you can’t stop thinking about when watching the original once you’ve seen it
What is it based on?
@@mohsinuddin7049 strangers on a train, a hitchcock film where 2 strangers agree to murder each others wives
@@mohsinuddin7049 It's based on "Strangers on a Train", Alfred Hitchcock of course for something like that. Strangers on a Train is a 1951 American psychological thriller film noir produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and based on the 1950 novel Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith.
sometimes I really do believe that the only thing keeping the sexes from killing each other is, well, sex.
What a fantastic handle you have! One of the best!
@@stevechristie2569 Is that when ladies like to have sex? Just want to know for when I get older. Thanks
You're not married then...
Imagine trying a script like that today? Mate all the lefties would be up in arms!!!
I am a leftie and I am not up in arms.
Rose Harvey
I’m a leftie too, but I have no arms......
I am Spartacus. I am armless
Nice. Take a cute little skit and try to insert political bullshit into it. What maroon.
@@therealxunil2 So maroon it's purple
Everyone credited as Basil makes this especially perfect
I may be too cynical, but I can’t imagine an American version of this having the restraint to not show the wife wasting all the men.
She didn't "waste" them, she murdered them. Quite a different thing altogether.
@@peterpozman6972 That's a moot point. (And please, do not point that moot at me.)
@@peterpozman6972 How so Peter? Wasting surely means "murdering"....Please, do define.
@@patagualianmostly7437 if she'd been on an American train she would have wasted them.
Well I thought the the thing was a bit of a rum do.
Ghastly way to treat a chap, even if he was a bad sort.
Rotten business...
Brilliant, so, so funny and done in a fantastic English way
"I've murdered all your husbands. Let's not speak again". Hilarious, dry Brit humour at its best. 😂😂😂😂
She says "all THE husbands." But your take on it is even better!! Lol
@@kevinbush4300 Must have been a conference call... maybe?
@@patagualianmostly7437 - conference calls were all the thing in the 1950s
I was not expecting that ending. I can not believe i have not seen this sketch as a Harry Enfield fan but that is the first time i have cried tears of laughter in years.
But ‘Strangers on a Train’ was an American film. This is ‘Strangers on a Train’ brought to you by the characters from ‘The Lady Vanishes’.
Bit of "Dial M for Murder" thrown in too for good measure
lol, I'd watch that.
Masterful duplicate of the genre.
coming next week: Strangers on a UA-cam Comments Page. Bahwahahahahaha. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
simpler, happier times
For a further insight into this fascinating subject i would reccomended that any chap requiring a home visit so to speak should try and source a splended bbc play for today entitled 'curtains for molly'
Beautifully done/camera work.
Is this a visual copy of hitchcock's film? Even then impressive for the quality.
i bet if you suggested this to someone on the tube , you might be pleasantly surprised .
The classic take on the 1940 thriller still remarkable give it a watch
Mechanical, automatic or quartz?
@@rjrj4750 Pocket watch & chain for this one.
@@rjrj4750 Fob.
1951 i think it was. Fabulous sketch. Brilliant film.
Liked the reference of the 4.50 from Paddington at the end
now that was a twist I wasn't expecting! you've just gotta love these Hitchcock film
This is the Tory Conference Special Train. Thanks old boy !
It's a pity she never finished the job.
Nah...it would have been a cattle train if it had been the other bunch.....
Brit Humor
Harry and Paul, absolute genius
Big Suze is a murderer? Johnson managed to dodge that one, eh?
All sorted in under 3 minutes. Hitchcock took over 2 hours.
I don't think I'd like to have my wife murdered for various reasons.. No. 1 it could lead to all sorts of bother and get you trouble.. No. 2 it could be complicated if children are Involved and no. 3 I don't have a wife
I say ..shouldn't family matters be discussed in private and within the confines of...the club ?
I shall be contacting M.
Anyone fancy helping me, erm you know...
I'll be much oblidged to. That is if you were so kind to return the favor..
Is this a comedy sketch or is it true? Surely that should be made clear as nobody should be encouraging mass murder, should they? Although the lady is rather pretty so That's allright then I suppose.
Oh look here old man, have you considered the logistics, frightfully tricky things are wives, what!? 😁😁
Brilliant sketch :)
I wonder if the Mrs McGillicuddy mentioned at the end is a reference to a character in Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple novel ‘4:50 from Paddington’ (also known as ‘What Mrs McGillicuddy Saw’). It also includes murder on a train!
Covered beautifully: by Nitram Nagev

Yes, the production crew were very slipshod in their research. What's more, the killer woman couldn't have 'phoned Mrs McGillicuddy because she was on the 4.50 from Paddington.
All getting rather confusing.... As all good British Drama is of course!
Women! Always interfering.
It's a wonder we get anything done.
There is No Life without a Wife.
Stay on Track for the next episode.
Brilliant bijou banter.
( ... can one really have one´s wife disposed of this way ? I say.)
true comedic genius..now for some marmalade on buttered toast..yummy!
Kevin Eldon's so brilliant. He made it so believable that a man would happily murder another man's wife, just to help out
Do stop posting this nonsense Mrs Eldon ...... it's really getting quite tiresome!
Whew, dodged a bullet there! ...Mrs Fleming!? I was just making a joke! MRS FLEMING, PLEASE HAVE MER...
Ive been trying to concoct an accident for years but so far haven’t been able to pull it off.
Shes fine.
Watching this while on spacecake is a whole different level of hilarious
The female of the species is more deadlier than the male
1:28 It's Big Suze, isn't it?
Excellent! Looks like Big Suze - Sophie Winkleman (half sister of Claudia, in case you didn't know).
Well they were certainly around in the 40's but this was the 24th April 1951.
"Bevan resigns" give it away?
What a ridiculous idea for a story. Trains don’t have phones.
They did when I went to uni in Birmingham UK in the mid 90s, to and from home by Cross Country train that had a phone by the buffet. Must have worked on 2 or 3G. Removed iirc by about 2000 due to the increasing adoption of mobiles and subsequent lack of use.
Anyone else think Harry Enfield is head and shoulders above any other comedian in UK history?
Except one - Paul Whitehouse
The twist ending kind of gives context to the seemingly senseless appetite for murder the guys on the train had. In that world, everyone kills everyone, and so you have to kill everyone you know before they kill you, and they all know that, so they set out to kill you before you can get a chance to kill them before they get a chance to kill you.
Simon Day is such a cad, in this.
My wife is a good sort.
Some below commented they’d watched it 100 times! British public School! Politeness rules! Hilarious!
The actress is VERY beautiful. You can't really see it in this clip, but she's outstanding, she's one of the very best.
Big Suze
This illustrates the supreme reasonableness of the British. We don’t have emotions as such, just thoughts and actions. If a thought is rational, then action follows naturally. Other nationalities accuse us of being cold and unfeeling, but they typically are in the grip of messy and unpredictable ‘emotions’. Foreigners often seem to become excitable, and accuse us of bleeding their country dry, for instance. The tried-and-tested solution to this is to send in the gunboats, to help them see reason. But it can’t be easy to be a foreigner, cut off from civilisation as they are by the English Channel. We can at least fly the flag of reasonableness, which this educational video does so well. I’d better stop there, because the nurse is coming round with my anti-psychotic medication.
Comedy sketch..? damn! thought it was a DIY video, better let the other chap know PDQ....
A great improvement on the original movie! ☺
The irony is that my wife murded me . Shocking really, I always considered her a good sort.
I'm so pleased they're back with a new series.
Funnily enough, just recently I'd been thinking about it.
I hope they have the old pet Northerner sketches. (No offense!)
I do wish we could go back to such polite times, especially as I am neither a husband nor wife.
I do miss the old days when Englishmen were courteous in their dealings with each other. I mean, it costs nothing.
looks like Sophie Winkleman playing the guys wife
It is.
Xerbraski thats because it is
Did they use the Middleton Railway for filming this scene does anyone know 🤔?
This clip is every feminists wet dream.
The ending certainly is.
Harry And Paul is great! :D I'm so glad they've made another series. :) First comment also.
Traingers on a Strain
could of thought of a better ending started off funny
She’s absolutely gorgeous
The Brits are the best！
Yes we jolly well are.
Bloody hell… is that… is that BIG SUZE?!!!
Excellent spoof of Hitchcock’s masterpiece!
love it
