I grew up watching classic British television during the 70s but this one is something that completely by passed me, saying that though, anything with Madeline Smith in from back in the day, is an absolute must watch for me as, in this case she was only 21, I don't think I have seen her look so beautiful, she was a young boys fantasy back then, now in my 60s I can appreciate her even more!
I remember this series very well!, one of my favourites back in the day, thanks for uploading as it's great to see it again, classic British comedy that sadly couldn't be made today.
Great upload. Even though I'm a huge fan of the British sitcom, I've no knowledge of this series. Would welcome seeing more. All huge names back in the day.
I'd never heard of this before, but I got all nostalgic in the first 5 minutes! Remember the days when wages were in cash in a brown envelope, and your bosses would occasionally plead (and pay well!) for anyone to work on a weekend rather than taking it for granted? I'm 55, but I feel about 80 now! 😆
yes it all comes flooding back ,we had the little cash envelopes like the blokes got in the play, lucky ken Connor got to kiss Maddy Smith :} we could always tell if we had a pay rise as the coins would rattle in the envelope :} happy days , which was over 50 years ago , seems like yesterday .
wow id completely forgotten about this one i would have been 4 years old watching with my grandfather. You have certainly evoked a lot of emotions for me with these uploads with memories flooding back. Thank you so very much
Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for when I was scrolling through the comments. Not sure why the location is always the first thing I want to know, but it is.
It was on in 1970 I was a school child I remember my mum talking about it because she liked Kenneth Connor . He was in those carry on movies . But i have never seen it until now. Thank u .
Never seen or heard of this show although I was around at the time. Had to watch as I have always had a huge crush on Madeline having first seen her in The Vampire Lovers, Taste The Blood Of Dracula and Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell.
Great upload - love seeing the ones that have been totally forgotten/unseen for decades like this, It’s pretty bad of course but in that tacky early 70s way which is quite watchable, the “old” man character is like a Poundland version of Clive Dunn
Yes, who in 1970 (young or old) was really still wearing the stereotype ragged scarf and flat cap combo? I was 16/17 in 1970, but have no recollection of this series. Kenneth Connor looks completely different to his normal appearance.
Kenneth Connor in transition here, just on the cusp between the game young bantam of his 50's and 60's performances and the elder statesman of his M Alphonse years.
Not to be unkind, but I think he was a bit too far into the transition to pull this one off (no pun intended), and he's also playing against type unfortunately, as he was always quite passive in the carry-on films (best known for the reaction shot of his repressed cry of "coooorrr"!).
Never heard of this and I'm 71. Mind you, in the 70's I had other things on my mind than 'Telly'! Any more episodes coming? This was a class group of actors.
What a cast- like a who’s who of British comedy. That zoom in and Connor’s trademark gurning are such a throwback to the 70s. Like a window into another world, but sadly not really very funny- it’s more of a light hearted drama than a sitcom for a live audience. Good find- I’d never heard of it.
Right out of left field - I have many rare British sitcoms, but I've never heard of this one ! Thanks for this real rarity - You haven't got any of His and Her's also featuring Madeline ?
Incredible what Madeline is wearing you wouldn’t bat an eyelid seeing in the high street today there’s nothing new under the sun, I really must brush up on my wallpapering , must have been one of Kenneth’s favourite “rolls”😂I wonder if this was only on certain ITV regions hmmm?
I don't remember this one at all, I remember most of the '60s and '70s which this was made in. Madeleine Smith is a lovely woman, I've met her on a few occasions, she was beautiful but never stuck up.
Something wrong here. I don't remember this. However, there was a very useful early DIY programme in the early 1980s called On the House which served me very well with the first property I bought circa 1986.
As Sid James had a hit with bless this house they were probably hoping to have another hit with carry on star Kenneth Connor. It wasn’t his fault, it was the poor writing.
I definitely don't recall this, was it regional? Thanks for posting. Kenneth Connor totally wasted in this, as are the other actors, the writing is pretty awful.
Unfortunately this is pretty poor. Despite some great comic actors (notably Kenneth Connor) the general impression created here is that of a mediocre amateur dramatics performance at the local church hall. Poor script, direction, and production values are the culprits.

Is she drinking bloody Mary`s?
she looked great in Vampire Lovers
Fantastic!! Never Seen This Before, Always Great to See Kenneth Connor
Never heard of this series but was worth watching just for the gorgeous Madeline Smith!
Madeline Smith was absolutely stunning, a real English Rose! Beautiful
I met Madeline Smith at a film fair a few years ago. She is still very charming.

Love these old sitcoms and ones like this never heard of or seen would have been before I was born
Amazing how you get drawn in. Didn't intend to watch all this, but I did.
She was stunning.
Its always good to see kenny connor in anything hes in
I enjoyed that i would like to watch more of the series if possible
The opening and closing aerial shots show the building of housing estates in Garforth on the eastern outskirts of Leeds.
Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for when I was scrolling through the comments. Not sure why the location is always the first thing I want to know, but it is.
The late John Junkin: also a noteable comedy scriptwriter. Good combination of cast.
Sad effort

Maddy Smith. Now she was a very early boyhood crush. Her & Valerie Leon..
Hai Karate ads were awesome.

You like beautiful buxom women then?

Thank you for this, it was fascinating! Excellent attention to detail to note even the music featured on the radio! Well done!!
Never heard of it either. We must have been too busy helping young ladies in distress out back then 😂😂😂
Twas great to see a site of Wimpy dormer bungalows under construction in the opening credits. happy days
There was another sitcom featuring builders called Cowboys. It starred Colin Welland and David Kelly.
I remember that one. Shown in the week on ITV. Remember Roy Kinnear being on it. We used to talk about it at school.
I vaguely recall that comedy with David Kelly and Colin Bellend. @@Raider577
Loved that show must have been about 1980?
Maddaline Smith,,could've turned elton john straight ,,she had it absolutely beautiful 😊
Nah, EJ's a shirt lifter forever
Shes absolutely beautiful, pity about the lame script ;-)
The Apartment set looks very similar in layout to the one used in the Only Fools And Horses Sitcom, another great comedy classic!!!
I remember it ive been looking for it but couldnt temember the title .thanks for uploading
There were some excellent television shows produced in the 70's, Unfortunately this show isn't one of them.
Agreed but it's still funnier than anything produced on main stream TV in the last 25 years
The signature tune for this series was a piece of library music called The Happy Monster, by the Benny Simon Sound Company.
Maddie Smith whose dress James Bond opened with a magnet in Live and Let Die.
Never heard of this and I'm 71. Mind you, in the 70's I had other things on my mind than 'Telly'! Any more episodes coming? This was a class group of actors.

Heck i was only 10 when this came out,but can actually remember it😮
Kenneth Connor's face at 5.07 needs to be a GIF!
Patrick Troughton guest-starred in one episode as a mad German professor. A reference to his 'Doctor Who' character was made.
Madeleine Smith brightened up my teenage years
Never even heard of this ..great stuff .
It's interesting, it's Kenneth Connor, between the Carry On films and series, and Allo Allo. Never seen before.
Madeline smith was definitely one of the fittest women on the planet in the day... She's still fit today
I was 10 can remember seeing it am guessing my dad watched it if Madeline Smith was in it.
Better times 🍺🍺
Kenneth Connor MBE (1918-1993) How fantastic was he 😊 I'd love to see more episodes
I wonder if this tv series got a dvd release 🤔
Right out of left field - I have many rare British sitcoms, but I've never heard of this one ! Thanks for this real rarity - You haven't got any of His and Her's also featuring Madeline ?

Madeline Smith, Paula wilcox, Sally geeson and Jackie piper were all gorgeous.
I don't remember this one at all, I remember most of the '60s and '70s which this was made in. Madeleine Smith is a lovely woman, I've met her on a few occasions, she was beautiful but never stuck up.
It must have been shortly after this that Madeline starred in The Vampire Lovers!
That came up in a conversation in work the other night. A colleague was trying to tell me only ugly women appeared in horror films. 🤷♂️
@@EricTheBlue61 A colleague...who clearly has not seen many horror films.
You can’t go wrong with good old Kenneth Connor can you?
Amazing how no one had heard of this!
'Talking of charlies, take a look at that lot over there!' Quality.
only on for the beautifull madeline
Any more of these? As I know they all still exist
..that would be very good . .
This must have only been on a few ITV regions. I have never heard of it at all.
But of a forerunner to Auf Wiedersehen Pet in some ways, maybe the inspiration for Wayne?
It shows the age of this sitcom that Peter Attard who plays the young, trendy ladies' man is now eighty years old.
Madeline Smith is achingly beautiful.
Do you have the rest of the episodes for this? Been wanting to see this for ages
Gorgeous Maddie
Produced by Yorkshire TV so may not have been broadcast elsewhere ? All episodes exist so possible DVD edition?
Thought that was Guy Martin for a moment😂
A proper 70s sitcom theme tune
They should have called it "On the Building Site"!
Touch of dad's army too!
Madeline Smith was and still is a gorgeous looking woman...
Tommy Godfrey - also in Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language.
Would this have been on ITV ? Was it shown nationally ?
Gordon Rollings good actor
Like most here I don’t remember this series at all - not a classic but great talent and Maddy Smith!!🔥🔥🔥
Nice to see Kenneth Connor acting instead of a full act of silly noises
Something wrong here. I don't remember this.
However, there was a very useful early DIY programme in the early 1980s called On the House which served me very well with the first property I bought circa 1986.
Haha that young lad looks like my cousin did in late 70s my dad used say wolfman is here
He's old enough to be her grandad
Does anyone know a site where we can get all eps of these series? 👍
Only discovered this one second ago!!!
@eddiepower3876 Don't give up the day job!
Brilliant cast actor's
You've got a sub out of me for this.. well done.
Classic British telly that no one seems to remember.
proper crumpet
Do you have the other episodes of this?
I have never seen this before
What exactly was the bit about the sink plunger alluding to?
How British TV survived this I'll never know?
Birds of a Feather was still to come.
British TV is dead at this point in time .
Wouldn't surprise me if David Jason based some of Delboy on Kenneth Connor here
Me 2 never remember this 😮
Never heard of this sitcom and not really surprised but any glimpse of life back then is welcome. BTW is that Clive Dunn of 'Grandad' fame?
It's actor John Normington, playing much older like Clive Dunn, but not written as well...
@@Porsche962C Ah ok thanks yes this is pretty bad isn't it?
@@markwardel6751
Still better than the rainbow propaganda that masquerades as comedy these days.
Madeline Smith, totally gorgeous like a lot of those sexy 1970's actresses.
an Oughter dramatic role by Madeline,😮💨
Never ever heard of this
As Sid James had a hit with bless this house they were probably hoping to have another hit with carry on star Kenneth Connor. It wasn’t his fault, it was the poor writing.
..compared to what is put out Today ...this is comedy Gold . . .. lol
'On The House' started in 1970. 'Bless This House' started in 1971.
I'm 63 and don't remember this at all.
Anyone else think Stan looks like Guy Martin.
Yes. And he also looks like a werewolf
