Cribb "Wobble to Death” Full Episode 1980 HD
The pedestrian Championship of the World is taking place in London, an indoor marathon lasting six days and the winner is the man who can be shown to have walked the greatest distance in that time in a style known as wobbling. Hot favourites are gentleman contender Captain Erskine Chadwick and professional athlete Charlie Darrell but when Darrell collapses,what first appears to have been cramp proves to be murder - he has been poisoned and later his trainer is also found dead. It looks like suicide but Cribb believes otherwise,suspecting Chadwick and his trainer,Charlie's wife or indeed any of the other competitors. He agrees that the marathon should be allowed to continue,providing him literally with a race against time to find the murderer.

Loved this when it first aired and this was my favourite episode.
I have never ever hear of this - I feel like my whole life has started again - a Victorian detective drama my God exactly my world.
And now my whole life has started again as I have just found this series as well! Quite by accident I was just listening to s Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes podcast and the guest was June Wyndham Davies spoke of this so away I went! I swear I should have been born in Victorian era! I love it
Me too!
This really has to be the best period series ever made, the attention to detail of the period is breath taking, how I missed it when first aired, or even heard about it, Oh well, I can watch it now. Thank you !
G'day from Australia, I just watched it & thought I must be the only one watching this in a long while, turns out I'm not. Most enjoyable,
Watched my first episode of this last nite now delving into another
interesting story.
thank you for sharing
Love this classic. I am a fan of the pedestrians of this era. This story depicts them well.
There's something about films from this time period early 80's - they were still real, human, intelligent and so excellent in writing, directing and production - something clearly happened after the early 80's in film, in life and culture.
Margaret Thatchers PM from 1979. Massive double rise in poverty and deprivation. The child poverty rate under her govt was the highest in Europe by 1990. Bound to impact people’s sense of well being even if you weren’t starving.
My dad was an extra in this film . He sadly passed away 10 months after filming. 🙏
So sorry for your loss, but at least you have a special momento of your dad.
@@soniavadnjal7553 absolutely Sonia. Thank you 🙏
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the wonderful background storyline
Another victim!
My hat's off to this lot. How the Brits are able to step back in time to any age with complete credibility, must say something about their national character.
If this show were made in Hollywood today, cast with skinny Gen-Z actors from Los Angeles, it would be unwatchable, regardless of the budget.
Vaudeville Funtimes,
Thanks for providing these episodes with Sergeant Cribb,
remember when it was on TV but never actually got to see it. Good luck with your channel!
I'm binge watching these. Remember seeing them when they were first shown back in 1980. A few silly, far-fetched bits, but overall very good. Wonder whether this was filmed in an actual arena, or in Granada's studios?
Great series!
Delightful series
...Same producer as the excellent Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series... this is good!
Great series
Charming but dangerous times
Really appreciate these wonderful uploads and the comments you share with Mr. Bennett! Very amusing and instructive.
My pleasure R Simon!!!! Ha...Gordon and I have a bit of a thing going !!! Don´t tell anyone!!!!
You little tease ...often told i should be on the stage......the next one out of Brighton boom boom !!!Applause bow exit stage right.:o) Hope you had a good holiday !
I did thanks!! Ha ha...brill!!!!! Get walking those boards!!!!!!! XXX
Thank you for uploading this wonderful series! Intriguing mystery and great detection without blood and gore or 4 letter words!
One man yelled out B--- S---! That's at least two 4-letter words.
Really enjoying seeing the book adaptions in this series ,reading the book first helps to flush out the characters and plot that bit further but all the stories are very well staged and quite fast paced for their age .Excellent...... hope THE CASE OF SPIRITS is somewhere out there as really enjoyed that one as much as MAD HATTERS HOLIDAY. Thanks as ever for getting these back on screen again .Classic x
It´s a very clever series and carefully adapted...nice that there are so many historical bits and pieces in the series also...the publication of Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat and the sale of London Zoo's famous elephant, Jumbo, to Barnum and Bailey's Circus. I have all the episodes accept for the pilot episode which was "Waxwork". I´m just preparing some more for download this afternoon..."Something Old, Something New" and ""A Case of Spirits"!!! You will be delighted to know, I´m sure...a nice little taste of Victorian England. x
WOW!!!...and now you're putting a cherry on top .Cheers !!Did you ever take to the boards like your dad ,guess you must have enjoyed all the back stage stuff anyway during his shows ?
No...Never did...Mother a singer and Father an actor and comic...hard act to follow...the pair of them!!!! As you say...I thoroughly enjoyed all the back stage stuff, used to be hilarious...the turns were often just as funny and entertaining in the dressing rooms as they were on stage...and of course, many of them are such intelligent people to talk to...after all they make a living by observing people and events first and then go on to portray- what they have seen and heard- on the stage. Of course, I had a fairly amazing and somewhat unusual childhood, it all seemed very glamorous to me...it wasn´t always that way in real life...but it appeared so.
I got to travel a fair bit as well...went to South Africa when I was 6 because Chubby was touring there...spent a fair amount of time with circus folk, went on film locations, and spent a good few happy seasons in the holiday camps. Wonderful memories. Excellent life experience!!!
A very dear friend of my Father was a chap called Lee Tracey...he is in some of my clips...the "Uptown at the Downtown" playlist, well Lee, still going strong I may add is just about to release a book..."WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBOURS SAY". I think it will be a good read when it comes out...you will have to get a copy
leetraceybooks.co.uk/book/what-will-the-neighbours-say/
Another book I have thoroughly enjoyed over the years is "THE AMAZING MRS SHUFFLEWICK" by Patrick Newley, which just takes you back in time to the days of vaudeville, cabaret and drag, fabulous read
www.theguardian.com/books/2008/feb/23/featuresreviews.guardianreview12
and you...were you ever of a theatrical inclination?
If only far too shy in early life ,did theatre design at college and the whole thing fascinates me especially the miraculous and ingenious transformation scene changes .Absolutely useless at telling jokes so think I'd get 'tomatoed 'off stage first appearance ;0)In awe of your dad and Mrs shufflewick for their comical timing and memory . Very into musical theatre but again never found out if I could sing ,always remember being put in the school choir as a kid to make up numbers and told to mime ...never did much for confidence.But hey what would theatre be without an audience and I'm sure that is one area I excel and show appreciation .Thanks for the book recomendations will look out for them
I think I am in awe of every one who gets on a stage and does IT. What drives them...I don´t know...always far to self conscious to do it myself...but...like you absolutely fascinated by theatreland and the characters that dwell within it. Plus...I have a father (he´s gone now but I still have him in my heart and my genes)...he was fascinated by this strange land also...hence I have his memories in my soul also...I can remember turns from the Music Hall era...of course...thats not me remembering but Chubby´s memories (as a boy himself- his awe, his wonderment).
Hard to explain but if I tell anyone I can remember Leon Cortez (who was my Godfather) and the big band days , or the black and white minstrels (don´t think you are allowed to say that these days) , or Cardew Robinson, or The Gang Shows, or Reg Stone or Vesta Tilley- I could go on forever-it was because I was watching acts as a child (in the 60s and 70s) who were themselves in wonderment of those greats and set out in their own careers to honor them...Great life, great memories...just wish I´d have been brave enough to do it myself...Alas....
And on..and on ...and on.......!!!!! XX
That's where the term _inside track_ got its name.
Greyhoind racing was the origin
I always think of this song as a 'companion-piece', to the 1960 song by Lolita, Seemann
Too bad we have never seen Sergeant Cribb's wife. I didn't even know he was married!
Me either! He doesn’t seem like he is married. In one episode he kisses a lady.
I lucked onto one episode with normal sound volume. Tried several other episodes but found all impossible to hear as the volume was so low even turning all sounds up to max, still unable to hear.
A most entertaining seies; a favorite here in the far west
Seems a bit pointless to update it to HD then present it distorted and unwatchable.
pity that we don't see much of Bobbie Brown on the TV anymore. Only ever seen her in Minder and a terrible series by Leslie Thomas in 1979.
I think you mean "Life without George"- certainly don´t see her in anything more recent than the 80s
so agree! one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen! her minder still haunts me!
Wasn't she in Blake's 7? (4th season). If she's the actress I'm thinking of, yes, she was beautiful.
Wondering if Mr. King read about or saw this ? The Long Mile ?
Don’t they get to shower or bathe? 😂
This episode is incredibly BORING. That is, except for the comic relief of that ridiculous way of walking that doctor has! 😅
Yes its a shame they didn`t up date it to the 21st century and have the odd car chase and 300 murders a minute.
Not 2 ware socks ridiculously stupid.
