So basically the opposite of what we have now. Old men planting trees is hippy dippy middle class university student stuff and those people are utterly dispised. The general population in Britain at least wants to make loads of money while the natural world turns into a heIIscape
@@MCshlthead That's true but I think the proverb is more of a metaphor for doing good things that will never benefit you, other than having the satisfaction of doing it.
"Happiness is amazing. It's so amazing it doesn't matter if it's yours or not". That hit me hard. Like even if I'm not happy myself, the least I can do with my life is to try to make others happy in whatever small ways possible. Because it's not all about me.
It's also great to feel the Energy off Genuine happiness, yours or Anybody Else's. That bit always makes My eyes stream and cheeks wet !!!. I'm getting wet ears now just a writing this.
You ste Beautiful indeed. I love all happiness even though I'm struggling at the moment.. so loving the BEAUTIFUL ENERGY of all happiness is Amazing for everyone that connects with it. Bless you so much. As I wrote this, the Sun emerged amongst the clouds. Keep going my lovely. To feel any happiness no matter who, where, why or what,...its ours to revel in..
After Life, helped me A LOT in matter of the copping with my feelings and depression, living with a suicidal mind, it helped me to feel less alone somehow.
0:19 - "Good to have a backup". With that glance and tone, she tells so much about her character. Probably contemplated suicide and the same argument so many times herself, that it's almost trivial for her to understand Ricky's character. Great acting by Penelope Wilton.
This scene reminds me of an Asian proverb: a young Sultan was passing by when he saw an old man planting an (olive?) tree. He asked the old man why he was bothering planting it as he would never see the tree bear fruit. The old man said that when he was young someone had planted it and he had benefited, he was just returning the favour. The young Sultan was so impressed with his foresight he gave the man some money from his purse. The old man smiled and said, "See? It has already benefited me in this life".
I heard Winston Churchill told his gardener to plant a tree when he was nearly 90. The gardener said it would take the tree a hundred years to grow. Well you best plant it now hadn't you!
Anna's the strongest character of the series and the things she says are always the most important lines of the script. She deserves a cult following like that of Sister Michael from Derry Girls.
This scene really got me. It felt genuine, not hand-fisted like so many other series and/or movies. You feel for the main character because he's not a bad person, but he's not in a right place right now. He doesn't care anymore and yet he cannot dismiss the fact that he actually gives a fuck about the people that he loves. He's hurting, but he finally understands. As much as I love the second season, as it's full of heart-braking, touching moments, I would've been happy if it ended after episode 6 'cuz Tony's arc was beautiful to watch and experience.
If you like this you’d probably like Bojack Horseman as well. I haven’t watched this series but I’ve seen several clips and they all give me Bojack vibes (which is a great thing)
@@Tkokat definitely worth watching it all imo. It doesn’t really show it’s true colors as a show until about halfway through the first season so at the very least do the first season
I feel exactly like Tony... this show is fucking amazing, it's incredible how it makes me cry and laugh at the same time. Can't wait for the second season (:
Anne is the embodiment of relieve and grace. I wish i find someone like her in my miserable life, or at least i can be one like her to someone i love someday.
Penelope Wilton is amazing in everything she does but her performance here touched me so much. Her character managed to convey something so profound and cathartic in such a human and empathetic way.
I hate it when shows have lines that really resonate with you. This scene made me look at my own life and decisions I’ve made and ultimately where I am now.
After seeing this movie I always remember a old man like 70 he used to jog when we used to play he saw his children died his wife death and his brothers and sisters die all of them they 5 of them even he still jogs everday he even jogged the day he died he a great man
I do find it a bit funny, despite how depressing it might be, but this whole "I can always fall back on suicide" has been my line of thinking for as long as I can remember.
I wasn't completely on board with this series I must admit - could take or leave bits of it, but the scenes with Tony and Ann always get me. The writing in some of these is sublime and something everyone should see.
@Langelos Thank you for uploading this video. I've been having a tumor/cancer scare since last week, and tomorrow I will see my oncologist for further inspection. I've been thinking: if heaven is a guarantee, or if there is no heaven or hell, why people want to continue living with continuous battles instead of just die and being in peace. These clips are thought provoking. And might give me the answer I need. Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏
The best kind of person. Can rebuild you entire will to push on and in the same breathe make fun of you without you ever questioning their intent. It's a show... but she kept Tony alive
I had recently got really tired of my job (and to a degree life) which can be immensely tough and unforgiving that I had considered not going back to it and to a degree checking out of the whole game. But this scene / proverb could just put a positive spin on it for me. Genius and beautiful!
Those of us that listened to the podcast and xfm shows have heard this line before. I think it involved Ricky and Steve trying to explain the concept to Karl.
Thats kind of the point he enjoys doing it but knows he won't live to see them grow so someone else will enjoy his hard work that he enjoys doing. Helping someone should be selfless........ or some shit like that
Anyone knows where to find the transcript of this dialogue? it is so great, I want to save it somewhere to remember it... I might make a painting of it or some shit....

She is the heart of the show.
She wasn't a bad Prime Minister, either.
@@synthonaplinth5980 yes i know who she is.
I thought she was MP for Flydale North
Such an amazing writer. Genius.
YES HE IS ❤
Is it wrong to call him one of the most relatable comedians of our generation?
That line about the trees is brilliant!!!
Michael Redding its pure brilliance imo
Ricky told that to Pilkington once...
He didn't get it.

@@isakgren1910 Thank you killing those innocent Arabs, right?
Penelope Wilton is such an amazing actress! Loved her performances in Downtown Abbey as well.
Penelope was also Simon Peggy's Mum in that Zombie Film Shawn of the Dead ... "Hello" !!! She says so eloquent throughout like she's on Happy Drugs.

zero dislikes after two weeks...thats how brilliant this scene was...
And only 16 dislikes in 1 year
this show is hot garbage
Great series ☺
@@lawrencetrl2 This comment has 0 likes in one whole year! You must be fun at parties :)
If youve listened to Ricky's xfm radio shows and podcasts, youve basically seen his tv shows
I love these small talks between Tony and her. It's so meaningful and deep and she's such a lovely woman
It's not small talks, it's life wisdom choped up in minor pieces.
I feel exactly like Tony... this show is fucking amazing, it's incredible how it makes me cry and laugh at the same time. Can't wait for the second season (:
I was crying but grinning so much. Best scene in the series.
Probably my favourite scene. Beautifully crafted.
This scene quite literally saved my life.
Best TV series EVER!!!
Anne is the embodiment of relieve and grace. I wish i find someone like her in my miserable life, or at least i can be one like her to someone i love someday.
Prime minister Harriet Jones...."yes we know who you are "
Don’t you think she looks tired?
I waited for a Person Like you 😅
I love those two strangers building this friendship/chemistry. Wow. I love Ricky Gervais. And that lady!!!
"Happiness is amazing. It doesn't matter if it's yours or not."
If anyone is curious the background song name is : Hammock - Together Alone
I felt that the music augmented the delivery of emotions of this scene.
Thank you so much, I had a feeling it was hammock, just wasn’t sure which song. I appreciate you
What a great actress she is!
god, having suicide as a serious backplan... I've never seen a piece of media that portrayed depression so accurately. Every scene.
She is lovely, and has been for many years.
This is the most beautiful, most powerful scene ever. Ever. Amazing scene. It's so real. This scene changed the lives of many who viewed it.
Penelope Wilton is amazing in everything she does but her performance here touched me so much. Her character managed to convey something so profound and cathartic in such a human and empathetic way.
"It is better to light even one candle than to curse the darkness". Add your light to the sum of light.
The dialog is SO TRUE TO HOME.. Lovely. Cheers me up. Ty
I’ve just finished watching first season but I don’t know how many times I shed tears. I really love this scene - full of love and important wit.
Anne was spectacular in this role. She brought compassion and real warmth to the role. The writing and the acting was truly superb Ricky. Thanks….
I hate it when shows have lines that really resonate with you. This scene made me look at my own life and decisions I’ve made and ultimately where I am now.
It's his best since extras. Bloody genius....
Old men plant trees in the shade of which they know they will never sit in. The best line in the whole brilliant series.
After seeing this movie I always remember a old man like 70 he used to jog when we used to play he saw his children died his wife death and his brothers and sisters die all of them they 5 of them even he still jogs everday he even jogged the day he died he a great man
Such a great show and this is my absolute favorite scene of the whole show
What episode is it?
I do find it a bit funny, despite how depressing it might be, but this whole "I can always fall back on suicide" has been my line of thinking for as long as I can remember.
A legacy touches the lives of those long after you’re gone.
I wasn't completely on board with this series I must admit - could take or leave bits of it, but the scenes with Tony and Ann always get me. The writing in some of these is sublime and something everyone should see.
Loved these scene's with this lovely lady
just seen this show today... fantastic show.. and penelope wilton was superb in it.
I love this. It’s something that took me 40 years to figure out but serving others is the only thing that brings me pure JOY. 🙏🏻❤️
Love their beautiful talks on the bench!💞

Man. I need to go watch this now, this scene just hit me a like a truck. Absolutely brilliant, it doesn't feel acted... it feels real.
Great actress
When I start to slip, I watch this.
Im in tears. Wow. So great. Awesome
the tree proverb reminded me of karl, rick and steve 😢
January 1st, 2023...drunk...crying...i will always follow these words.
That lady is so beautiful, like a favourite auntie ...

I like how she pronounce "exactly"
Don't just watch it, live it.
I love this show.
This scene hit me hard. Such a great dialogue
Brilliant scene, so touching.
Nothing like humoristic honesty with no ill intent between friends.
Makes me smile this scene 🙂
So much depth and emotion involved in this scene. Makes me sad, happy and emotional every time I watch this clip!
Love that comment about the trees. Beautiful
That is hands-down the best quote I’ve ever heard
im gonna go clean this show convinced me
that saying was on a podcast he made with Steve and Karl, I forgot what Karl said about it probably something inane
It was when they read their little book of quotes and karl said "he was probably into gardening anyway"
Happiness is amazing. It’s so amazing that it doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not.. JUST LOVED IT ❤️
Love this scene...and message
My favorite scene in the entire series.
Those of us that listened to the podcast and xfm shows have heard this line before. I think it involved Ricky and Steve trying to explain the concept to Karl.
Omg uno I cried when she said that idek

Every show or movie has that wise character full of love and compassion. In After Life, that character is Anna.
Thanks for sharing - such a lovely scene
They will sit in that shade and just not remember that they planted that tree.
This show saved my life
Brilliant quote
Amazing performance from both x
Maybe the old fella planting the tree enjoys gardening
Oh ffs
Pilkington is that you?
Thats kind of the point he enjoys doing it but knows he won't live to see them grow so someone else will enjoy his hard work that he enjoys doing.
Helping someone should be selfless........ or some shit like that
fuck I love you
Remember when he said this proverb to Karl and he just completely didn’t understand it
Beautiful that’s all I gotta say
pfff, what a great writing. unbelievable.
This almost makes you cry
I love this scene. beautiful
Anyone knows where to find the transcript of this dialogue? it is so great, I want to save it somewhere to remember it... I might make a painting of it or some shit....
Anyone wondering what's the music in the background .... Its 'Together Alone by Hammock'
Is she an angel?
I think she is
"Angels don't have wings and don't live in clouds. If you want to be an Angel, you have to do it when you're alive, be good, do good things.Some have four legs and bark or meow."
Incredible scene
Starkravingly beautiful.
You saved me...a million times over many years, thank you, more than I can Express
WOW What an amazing scene !
"...and that's it!"
Thank you Rickey
No other show like it.
Dammit... Everyone really needs an Anne in their life!
Amen!
This clip was lovely
