That's a very good Ruth Gordon at 1:30 (I assume that's who it's supposed to be). And I can't quite make out what is said at 4:17. And I was thinking I was the only person who'd spoofed The Towering Inferno!
This was made in the days when we knew how to make comedy. Political correctness has taken over since then and later comedy has been sanitized to the point it isn't funny any more.
One of Scotland's gems. A genius of a comedy actor. Still funny and brilliant. Thanks,Stanley for giving us so much joy and laughter. Peace.
JEEZE!! WHAT A FIGURE!!!! I ADORE THIS GUY, HE"S A LEGENDxxxxxxx
It is wonderful seeing this again. A wonderful funny man and a superb character actor. What a talent.
I was mesmerised as a kid watching Stanley Baxter-such a screen presence and a rare ability to play practically any part
LOVE Stanley Baxter! Just seeing his face makes me feel happy.
OMG too funny. Love the fire for his ciggie lighter ha, ha, ha CLASSIC. I missed his show when I left the UK. Thanks for posting.
Stanley Baxter is a National Treasure and funny as hell to Boot.
Just brilliant bringing together all the tropes of the disaster films if the period!!!
I saw this on TV in Australia over 40 years ago and never forgot it.
So funny! And so great to see it again after all this time.
me 2
Extraordinary talent!
I remember watching this first time around, Makes me feel old!
omygoodness this is one of my favorites from Stanley ❤
Classic comedy from a true master.
Brought back memories of laughing my ribs off with my older brother as kids. I blame Stanley for my warped sense of humour! Genius.
wonderful Stanley Baxter
I remember the exitement waiting for this to be aired in 1975!
'And here's me just over from Ulster for some peace and quiet!'
Didn't expect her! :p
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS MAN ESPECIALLY HIS "BROADS" WHAT A PHYSIQUE !!! xx
A true genius of Scottish comedy with. killer legs!
Stanley Baxter played all these roles himself
As an American, there are so many of these that I haven't seen. So there's a lot of catching up to do.
what ever happened to great comedy? Thanks Stan!
Political fucking correctness
I watched this the first time, the only thing I rememered was him lighting the cigarette on the flames. Great gag.
Yeah, I love that bit, too!
Just got introduced to Parliamo Glasgow, from Stanley baxter. Not laughed so much in a long time. 🤣🤣🤣
And the control panel behind Security desk is same one as used in Gerry Anderson's UFO (Moonbase control centre)
Best legs in the business!
I'm crazy about Stanley Baxter. I don't think any male comedy performer looked funnier in drag.
Made an excellent woman stunning woof

The tower they used was London Weekend Television's studios. 😛
Soon to be demolished in real life. :( 24 floors is too small in the London of today. ~Shame. I love the building.
1 person doesn't like this?? A person with no sense of humour I would say.
WeTheStrange you always get one idiot ,,,he was very funny ,
It was probably one of today's terminally unfunny so-called comics like Jimmy Carr!
A twat more like.
Watched BillOddie And Erik Sykes discussing Chaplin,," whats that all abou"t they said.

More than likely an accident!!
I wonder how many people watching this get the Ulster joke?! Just what I needed to cheer me up.
That's a very good Ruth Gordon at 1:30 (I assume that's who it's supposed to be). And I can't quite make out what is said at 4:17.

Here I am,
Broken-hearted,
Paid the penny,
Only…
The missing word is farted, i.e. they paid to use the toilet, but it wasn’t a productive visit.
This was made in the days when we knew how to make comedy. Political correctness has taken over since then and later comedy has been sanitized to the point it isn't funny any more.
You carnt beat this 🌹👍🏽
Back in the days before ITV went down market with its never ending list of reality shows like love Island and other such cheap pathetic crap..
That colored toilet paper was found to give women urinary track infections making this skit more darkly humorous, .
Sorry Dirty Jokes
