I'm 65 years young and 'Up Pompeii' , is as funny now as it was when I first watched it, all those years ago . Frankie Howard couldn't be bettered with his 'flabber being gasted' .... And I too , had the hots for Elizabeth Larner . I still do ❗🤔 🆓🇬🇧
I always thought Elizabeth Larner was a bit of all right, but knew nothing about her fascinating musical career until looking it up today. Great stuff and Howerd was a master of recycling mediocre comedy material and routines. This was a consistently funny series and still is.
Brit comedy has its ups and downs even in the classics. Not shown here in the Philippines due to the innuendos. Just realized the late Ms Windsor's harem outfit looked like Barbara Eden's.
I always felt that Howard was un unpleasant creepy character. He was once invited on to do a solo spot on his friend Bernard Braden's show many years ago and proceeded to slate Braden and make fun of him. It totally stunned Bernard Baden as he and his wife who had supported Howard durng a difficult time of his career when he struggled to get jobs.
Unfortunately, the private lives of alot of our 'comedy heroes' was not as we imagined. Frankie Howard could be called today ..a 'sexual predator' , him being a homosexual and a very insecure man . Much like Wilfrid Bramble of 'Steptoe and Son' .🧐 At the time back then , these things never entered my head regarding their sexualty. Rock Hudson was a big shock to my system when I heard he had aids , and his 'closet' homosexual life , came out in the open .🤔 Either way , I now put that stuff to one side and just enjoy what they bring to the screen .
simply the best Frankie Howard comic genius
brilliant better than the crap we have today by a mile xx

At 21:07 "And up yours", Talbot Rothwell re-using his own lines from Carry on Up the Khyber :-)
Love what time are so
Barbara Windsor! Oh, she´s so funny!

Peter Cook and Frankie Howerd could have been twins. :) :D
Lurcio is comical
Hope some of my friends in Russia can receive this comedy show .
Victor Hunt they are not aloud to laugh
Putin a request
@@erhardbaehni1832 allowed
@@davehallett3128 Perhaps Victor Hunt meant "They're not to laugh aloud". 🤷♂️
It's called 'Up Pompeiiski' in Russia.
Brilliant 2020
Bleep-Bloop for me, too.
Nymphia. Common as muck.
Very funny. Frankie. Howard. At his. Best. Wish. They. Would. Show. It. Again.
Frankie Howard a complete professional
I hate to say this but Omar Khayyam was born about a thousand years after Pompeii …..just thought I’d mention it….😂😂😂
This was an inspiration.
He was brilliant & for a gay man he always had lots of sexy women in all his things.
Few of whom (excruciatingly correct grammar) could find that which they most wanted. O woe!
Brilliant
What would I do without my frankie
Sexual innuendo, contradiction, put downs, piss taking 😂😂😂 up pompei had the lot
It comes down to money
We several channels, but no quality
Who’s bright idea was it to schedule a stupid advertisement, just as Babs started her dance…..
A Carry on reunion.
There is no decent TV worth watching now
... and even less indecent. The miasma of Godly Puritanism has returned.
Fun
OK That sight gag at the beginning was also copied in Francis Howerd other similar satire of the history of the world Whoops Baghdad
No it wasnt
Yes, a similar gag with the water fountain at the beginning of episode 6 of Whoops Bagdad.
Very funny
Ambi Dextrous…😂😅😊

Elizabeth Larner.. A face like a dinner plate... But I wish women were like that now
A nice pair of ‘knockers’ though….👀👀
