I can remember playing on streets like this when I was a nipper. Austin Cambridge, MGB'S, Austin 1300's and ford Cortinas. Helping the milkman on a Saturday deliver whilst he collected "payments", damn it....I have turned into my grandad.....sad to say that I am one now.
Simple but funny traditional British comedy, despite it being a struggle at times with lack of money, food and occasionally electricity it was a privilege growing up in the 70's.
@Joe Pastrami You are actually bang on with that, they were a novelty, I always remember sitting round the coal fire toasting our bread at supper time....Dave Allen another blast from the past, funny funny guy.
I remember the record I was playing slowing to a stop and me suddenly standing in the dark. Hearing my mother asking around the family if anyone had 50p for the meter. Hearing the coin drop and light and music coming back to life. All part of the fun that was the 70s.
TV was the only good thing about growing up in the 70's for me. Kids today have it great with centrally heated bedrooms, games consoles, smart phones, foreign holidays, internet porn, shops open Sundays.
I grew up in the 70s and my father and I both avid viewers of comedy shows and of course Top of the Pops. Me for the music and Pans People for the old man!!!
Yes if you make a joke with a youngster these days firstly they dont get it as thick as two short planks and secondly they must have had a sense of humour transplant or void of it in the first place. You just get a sneer or get blanked.
I work with community and schools so did some fire safety before bonfire how to call and what number to ring in emergency 80% primary school year 5-6 said I will call 911. I said we don't live in USA we live in Britan . Too much americanised. Gold channel should put this series again
Looks like a nice cared for street. Nice wood doors and pretty gardens. Wonder what it looks like now. UPVC doors and windows, parking bays and crappy street lamps.
I love camp and outrageous comedy from the 60's and 70's. Brilliant. The difference between the communitues of that era and now is the impact of drugs. Give users their supply in return for participation and commitment to a drug rehab programme. Game over for the dealers. Pretty much the same view was expressed to me by an ex-C.I.D. guy I was talking to a few of days ago..Drugs are at the centre of most crime now. You can't arrest your way out of the problem. Alcohol is a drug. If we banned it tomorrow, gangsters would supply it instead at a much higher price.
By God, I think that car behind the mailman at the end is a Wolseley (15/60 or 16/60). Those are rare as hens' teeth today. One thing I enjoy about watching Dick and other British series from the 70's is seeing these great old cars that you just don't find anymore. And the humour - I've watched this skit a dozen times and every time I have to laugh.
That's Wendy Richards - of "Are you being served" , "EastEnders", etc. fame - in the 1st scene. She plays the part of the woman who answers the door to the milkman.
yep most bobies rode bikes or walked. very few drove round in cars. They tended to know everyone in their beat area as well so could tell if someone shouldnt be there. If u got caught dropping litter the cop would grab u by the ear and drag u home and made sure 1 of ur parents spanked u. If they tried that now they would be spat on.
@@cliffbird5016 They never went that far with me,I never dropped litter anyway,but one did tell me off royally back then as a 10 or 11-year-old for walking on the top of all the garden walls along the alleyway that ran behind all the back gates on that side of our road at the time.
Dick Emery, Benny Hill, Spike Milligan and Stanley Baxter were comedy genius's and they were so far ahead of their time. Their comedy was , for the time, so very risque yet by the standards of today, now seem tame , but they were far more entertaining than 90% of today's so called comedy actors.
Pure magic! Just compare this to the utter rubbish on TV now all performed by politically correct automatons with absolutely no idea of comedy! Dick Emery like Benny Hill did sketches that everyone was thinking instead what everyone thought they should be thinking!
@@unmea69l8er Yeah it was safer than walking the streets of Belfast or Derry staying in until a loyalist threw a petrol bomb through your living room window to burn you out.
This is true, but don't forget the TV company would have "taken over" the street for the day, so they might have arranged it that way while they were filming.
*poo not sh*t *we not wee? Are you obsessed with terms of bodily substances being excreted from the body in the urine and feces. What about lovely semen and footballers horrible spit as well??
Loved watching it back in the 70s. Shame its not repeated today as we are desperately in need of some good comedy on TV. It's all far to much political correct now and is killing any sort of decent comedy on our tv screens 😠
Wow, years since I last saw some Dick Emery, he was a regular feature of Saturday tea-time TV, somewhere between Dr Who and The Generation Game if I recall correctly, great fun and died way too early back in 1976 I think??
Sometimes being called under-rated is a whooming great complement. In Sir Richard of Emery's case, he is the arch understudy and understanding of pure comedic genius. A daft old brush. Who could also be old, young( ish), female, male. Whatever. Always likeable, though. And also very, very funny.
Turn back the clock to the 70's and 80's. Best days of our life's
They certainly were - not like the nightmare we're living in now.
Not really ,just as shit then as it is now tbh
@@iliketowatchvideos47 they mean that there was no media fear mongering or media mind conditioning back then.
I agree...
True....
Absolutely brilliant. Wish we still lived in this kind of society, I can't be the only one..... RIP Dick Emery.
And yet the media are never done criticising the 70s, as if this day and age of people who don’t even know if they’re men or women is better.

Despite the endless strikes and the 70's being the decade that fashion forgot, the music, sport, TV and movies will never be bettered.
Wow, a younger Wendy Richards!
The days when we were allowed to laugh at ourselves and have a bit of harmless fun with other people instead of the world of PC we live in now.
Yes if you make a joke with a youngster these days firstly they dont get it as thick as two short planks and secondly they must have had a sense of humour transplant or void of it in the first place. You just get a sneer or get blanked.
I agree with you but sexism and homophobia was awful back then

They SO dont make them like this anymore. this is great. no need of swearing etc its just pure comedy
Wendy Richards was a beauty!
He was married 5 ? times with stunning birds - no surprise that he died prematurely. I loved Dick Emery
That's how I was conceived two pints and half a butter please milk man.
A great performer and comedian sadly missed.
When life was slower and times were simple.
Time passing by quickly is one of the signs of the day of judment in islam
Yes times were simpler less stressful good old fashioned comedy now we are imprisoned in our own homes wit shit. On telly
My absolute favourite comedian along with Dave Allen ...
Looks like a nice cared for street. Nice wood doors and pretty gardens. Wonder what it looks like now. UPVC doors and windows, parking bays and crappy street lamps.
upvc doors are just wrong.cant even paint them
I was thinking same .
Probably looks like a third world country
It looks better than in this video. Most of the doors have been replaced with their original designs and the paths are back to Victorian tiles.
@@jameshurst3279 I see this increasingly. Depending on the street, naturally, but many are going this way, restoring homes to an original look.
Thanks for posting this clip, How could he refuse Wendy Richards invitation for coffee? I love the rector character he plays, Pure class!
I watched all his programmes they were great .you don't get comedy like this now,
absolutely hilarious stuff pure comedy gold no way in Hell would get away with any of that today
Dick Emery , Ronnie Barker , George and Mildred all No swearing. ! Just pure skill , what trash we have these days compared with them .
Well funny, Dick Emery was great, especially the old man Lampwick.
Thanks for posting the clip
I hate getting old

One of our lodgers had an old 50s one of those in the late 70s/early 80s.
In my opinion , so much better than what is served up as comedy these days . Still I am old enough to remember the very funny Arthur Haynes.

Hello from Ireland Dave. I thought it was only over here that we said "me" in place of "my".
It's funny how the the old is more entertaining than today. Maybe it has something to do with,
(that it was just GREAT).
Political Correctness has killed humour. The 70s and early 80s are halcyon days for TV laughter.
That's Wendy Richards - of "Are you being served" , "EastEnders", etc. fame - in the 1st scene. She plays the part of the woman who answers the door to the milkman.

Stumbled on this video somehow and find it was filmed down my road, Laurel Avenue, Twickenham.
We were allowed to laugh in those days.
Neat privet hedges and well kept lawns before block paving off road parking.
Is still like that, is Laurel Avenue in Twickenham
Theses were really good days....
Agreed.

Brilliant haven't seen him in years, used to love him as a kid especially the man mad old woman, "Oooh you are awful...but i like you"
Does anyone else notice just how few vehicles were parked outside on the roads? The 1970's had so few vehicles
This is true, but don't forget the TV company would have "taken over" the street for the day, so they might have arranged it that way while they were filming.
@@mistofoles it was like that in the 70s in London
bring back fuel rationing
The UK in the 1970s also had the best public transport system in the world. That and most people were either at work or could not afford a car.
Not to say how few are driving down the road
Wendy looking super hot!!!

👍
Until she joined Eastenders.
Brilliant vicar sketch ...mucking about with his parish !😂😂😂
Thanks for the memories
Oh how we miss the comedy greats!
Great times, even though it could be hard. The milkman, postman knew everything and everyone on their rounds.
REST IN PEACE YOU WERE GREAT I Miss you you were best irishman manchester.
Good Times. Innocent fun no box ticking and pc bullshit
