_"I'm afraid it's in Colchester - ouch!"_
If you haven't already seen the *_Association Football_* episode of the 'Mr Cholmondeley-Warner Information Films', it's a, er... toss-up between that one and this as to which is my favourite - and I don't even like football!
Twin beds was popularised by Hollywood films because of the Hayes Code (1934 to1968), "When it came to depicting men and women in the bedroom, the Hays Code offered filmmakers two options. They could have the couple sleeping in separate twin beds, like the wholesome, sexless partners the audience supposedly clamored for. Or, they could show the couple sleeping in the same bed, with one caveat: the woman had to have one foot on the floor for the duration of the scene. Presumably, this was to reassure viewers that no racy acts were about to occur".
As late as the early 60s on the Dick Van Dyke Show (a US sitcom) the bedroom scenes showed the married couple in separate single beds.
Just like snooker, then. 😬
New balls, please...
Things with all the what you can and can't do now seem to have turned the clock back again.
@@grahamholmes9630 Meanwhile, in Britain, on the BBC at prime time, two male comedians (Morecambe and Wise) did a weekly skit in which they shared a flat and a double bed, and no one even raised an eyebrow.
Laurel and Hardy did the exact same, back before American censors became so paranoid, prudish and sensitive to absolutely everything. You can blame the same moral crusade of clucking Christians for the subsequent ''Satanic Panic'' which saw them trying to ban Darwin from the school curriculum or Heavy Metal from the airwaves in the 80s.
No other developed, democratic nation has been quite so uptight and paternalistic since the Victorian era. America has a very strange relationship with ''decency''.
I was amazed at some of the pre code movies by the likes of Busby Berkley thewhich were quite risque along with actresses like Jean Harlow. I thought like many of my generation, I'm 62, that we invented sex and pornography. We did not.
People in the UK really did speak like that in the 30's and 40's.
The wife here is played by Carla Mendonça, the same Englsh actress who played the intelligent spouse in 'Women, Know Your Limits'.
well spotted.
In the UK if you were poor you shared a bed...sometimes with the children if you had money you had twin beds and if you were wealthy you had separate rooms too!
I grew up in a terraced house built in 1851 it was poor but it still had 3 bedrooms, This is just a joke about British sexual reserve.
@@Michael.Talbot I wish we still had some.
We must've been rich.......I lived in a 4 bedroomed council house....ha ha ha ha ha
Look up Harry and Paul - The Confectioner
McJibbin 02:42 ...my grandmother never set eyes on her naked husband. 'Relations' were in the dark, under the covers. The prudishness was real. Or at least this is what she purported to have happened while telling to my older sisters. Grandma died in 1991 at age 80 for perspective. Thanks for your content and great to see your Harry Enfield appreciation.. cheers from New Zealand
I've been to Colchester - it's not as bad as Mrs Cholmondley-Warner is making out.
The whole sleeping in separate beds was a television thing (mainly US television).
pathe as in cafe not path as in bath.
Totally forgotten this one - thanks for the review
how could you
My grandparents had separate beds - however, there wasn't broken glass on the floor, sooo...
No do not shut up! Your reactions is why we watch as well as seeing you enjoy old comedy and learning new terms. Some of us learn new things as well from your curiousness (don't know if that's a word but it is now lol). It's also funny seeing your "brain ticking" 😂😂
My grandparents had separate beds. They're the only people that I know of. But then my grandmother thought she was posh.
Some of the humour and references were lost on you but it is encouraging for your future spouse that you are now aware of what ‘conjugal rights’ means.
Single beds for married couples is an American thing 😂
Two twin beds, Connor? That's going a bit far, dontcha know?
Here in Great Britain we all talk like this, don'cha know.........
You're alright. Don't beat yourself up. I like your site. Love
Pathé, Yes you finally got it!
I’ve seen that so many times and only just noticed the babies , doh
Hard to believe now that Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise were shown in sketches , sharing a double bed !
The BBC once did a set of interviews with people over the age of 80, on what they knew about sex when they got married. With most it was nothing, one woman found in her 60s, she was still a virgin.
Perhaps she missed the Train?
@@MrDaiseymay
Do hope it wasn't left in Colchester.
Awe babe, I love that you’re liking our comedy. 😂
✌️❤️🏴🇬🇧🏳️🌈 xxx
"Not only a stiff upper lip" 😂😂😂
Which the British were famous for----i.e didn't lose their nerve
Good evening Connor
Good evening Mr Irvin.
After WW2 when I was born, Britain was a frightfully repressed place ;) Then came the 1960s, baby boomers lol. Thanks Conor.
The War,. changed EVERYTHING
WATCH THE 'YORKSHIREMAN', PLEASE !!!!!
Hey Jibbs✌️😂😂 so glad you got the references as they were intended, I think you're right they have the poor editing, the posh voices and crackly film just right and yes this very much sums up 1930s public information of the time, depending on how you feel about it the UK has really gone down hill regarding polite behaviour or we've just stopped being so stuffy and pompous 😂great reaction👍
The latter-- and add the openess as demonstrated in the films and TV of the recent past.
This reminds me of genuine British public information films from around the 1930s/40s, which can seem very quaint and unintentionally funny to us now.
Er, that's exactly why these were done.
Nope---It's a deliberate exaggeration of how ignorant and reluctant they were, to openly discuss, A'hem---SEX ! The Terribly Terribly clipped BBC accent is very accurate.
Thank you!!! 🖤
You have to understand the British social attitudes to sex, even inside marriage, during the era of the 1940s to get this sketch.......
Er … Hollywood where if two people were on a bed one foot had to be on the floor!
@@moonshine3333
If you've failed to understand that the 'stiff upper lip' featured here, is mocking a peculiarly British kind of frigidity, then the humour of this video is flying even higher over your head.
Besides, I can't think of a single British movie in the first 10 years after WW2, that had a sex scene anywhere near as overt as that between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in 'From here to Eternity' from 1953. Infact, not until the 'kitchen sink dramas' of the late 50s, or early 60's, did the British cinema become more relaxed about sex.
So your contradiction of my original comment, just proves that you didn't understand the video either, so why bother to demonstrate that.......?
Do the Association Football one, it’s brilliant…😂
Captained by Charles Charlie Charles, one half of the famous Charles brothers.
@@lmcgregoruk and the halftime entertainment is provided by the man they call “Mr Banjo”, it’s George Banjo…😂
Sordid and Frightful 😂🤣
It's a matter of time and place I think, my grandparents had separate bedrooms once Granny decided that two children, was plenty. Well, once she came back from hysteria treatment anyways.. A marriage of convenience was not so rare back in the day and as such I don't imagine they'd share a bed if they had no reason to - considering they had chemical castration as an option in Britain for homosexuality, I can see a fair few "married couples" that didn't share a house, let alone bed.
Herman and Lilly Munster were the first television couple to share a bed
They used to call it "doing the beat with two backs" frigging hillarious.
'the beast'
new to me.
Yeah there were government information films just like this one so its funny bc its true
You should try Hale and Pace x
The drug song is wonderful
Most invigorating!
💯💯
Has the train arrived in Paddington yet 😜
No, but it's due at Cockermouth anytime now :O)
@@annother3350 Never take the train from Colchester to Cockermouth.
Some of the upper classes may have acted in this way, as they tended to be prim & proper & they would have been told by their mothers to lay back & think of England.When I 1st found out where we came from I said one of stupidest things ever.I said u don't think the Queen would do anything like that do u.But normal people would just get on with it & enjoy it.
As Lord Curzon, then Viceroy of India, said to his wife, " Madame, ladies do not move "
@@brianrodney712 Yes, I think he needed to read the Kamasutra to broaden his sex life.
I'd guess that separate beds had something to do with availability of contraception in those days and men having comparatively long working hours not wanting to disturb the wife with early starts
You are a Brit at heart. love your content you are by far the best reaction youtuber out there, thank you for bringing a smile to my face brother 😊.
It was not talked about
For a potato. He means Russia.
😄👍❤️🇸🇪🇺🇸
Conjugal rights is simply sex.
Harry Enfield clever sophisticated comedy satire is just so genius, it is quite frankly a waste of time having shows like blackadder ,harry enfield, and many others on British TV on US networks Totally lost on Americans, maybe a few get the satirical wit ,its when they start to ''analyse''it which means they are clueless to the material, then the fun begins that is hilarious watching it that said i have little empathy for our cousins
I think the humour is slightly lost on you mate. ‘No sex please we’re British’ sex, for some reason, was seen to be a very unbritish thing to do…. Well all did it but nobody spoke about it. British women were labelled as coy and frigid and viewed sex as something dirty and some that’s not necessary…. Babies just appeared one day…. I think that’s why the stork baby delivery system was invented 😂
