Born in the thirties, grew up in the forties, so I remember these old films and Will Hay in particular. He was a mega star then and the most popular comedian in the country. He ligjhtened our lives during WW2 but sadly, never made really old bones. Best wishes to any contemporaries who remember him with affection, like me. England, January, 2024.
I Grew up in the 80s and 90s and its down to the fact that my dad loved will hay that I grew up loving will hay also, especially with Moffatt and Marriott, thanks for your comment 👍🏻
Just before Ol Man died I'd send him a one word text 'Buggleskkelly'(not sure of spelling) and get 'shut ya eyes so ya don't see how I do it ' back, absolute class
Like the manwithnoname , these films were very special to us in the 80’s/90’s. So very funny, they are such an important part of British culture, i used to salivate when Albert made that bacon, it looked so tasty , we didnt have much , but these films and the famous five books helped us through many summers, i still watch them regularly. Ronald, it must have been amazing seeing these films in the cinema
@dcdel1 sorry Dcdel I've only just seen this comment, it's good to know that there are others out there whom will hay films meant so much to 👍🏻 and I agree about the bacon when Albert's cooking breakfast .... or was it someone cooking Albert 😂😉
Its been not only interesting stepping back in time to watch some films i saw as a child and new ones but also taking not of all the changes and the stars of bygone days whose children are now famous etc more exciting is to find the british films made all around our once beautiful nation
I think these folks are a comedy group. Before "Monty Python". Before the "Carry On" gang. But, this group are part of a great tradition in British comedy.🎭🤡👍
One of the finest and perfectly comedy films ever made,by truly brilliant cast with Will Hay and co,t then in 80s remade poorly but watchable with Cannon and Ball.
@billygillan821 ahhh yes it was titled "The Boys in Blue" I saw it when I was young, and upon hearing that it was supposedly a remake of ask a policeman, I remember thinking that it was nothing like Ask a policeman whatsoever, and because of that I wasn't able to give it a fair go at entertaining me, I just kept wishing I was watching Hay Moffatt and Marriott 😂
Not entirely sure ... but memory tells me ... oh mr porter ... ask a policeman ... where's that fire.... old bones of the river ... windbag the sailor .... not sure if I'm forgetting any ... good morning boys with just Moffat, convict 99 with just marriott I think ..... 🤔
Thanks for reply oh mr porter, ask a policeman, where's that fire,convict 99, windbag the sailor, and old bones of the river deff have all 3 in, you know your classics wonder if there's any more with all 3 in? Thanks
@Pete85riot ive just been googling and apparently Moore marriott has a bit part in "Dandy Dick" and that's where he suggested future roles alongside Hay
nearly 90 years old an they still make folk laugh , like the Marx brothers too , the last new film that made me laugh was porky's 1981 after that nothin mutch was funny , so ah rewatch the old ones , so many great comic actors Alister Simms terry thomas norman wisdom too many to mention here but am sure you all have your fave by the way ah would love ti see Whisky galore again another great laugh , the world was a lot more optimistic back then now aw folk do is moan , can't cancel the memories can they , aye !
I absolutely cringed to watch the headlights and sidelights being smashed off the front wings of this quality drophead Talbot before it was driven through the shop window : . Not possible to determine the model , could be a 75, 90 or possibly a 105 . Certainly rare coachwork with 'pram iron' hood on this chassis, possibly by 'Carlton' and couldn't have been any more than 4-6 yrs old at the time of filming : Tragic waste !
Absolute pleasure watching a classic comedy. Better than the dross they call comedy these days 😂

Love watching old black and white films
I love all these old classic B&W films with Will Hay, George Formby and even Arthur Askey!

These were shown in the 1980s on weekday evenings on bbc2 and I often watched with my great grandmother. Another world happy memories
