So if I said .... because they've become friends Eddie can't be racist ? Oh and before you tell me it's comedy I know it is ... I used to watch this every week from the age of 12. Eddie's character is a racist while the others tried their best to enlighten him that we are all humans. Eddie always saw himself as being superior to the world as it where. 🇬🇧
Eddie may be racist, but he never gets away with his ignorant views/beliefs, Bill always calls him out on it, without fail, and makes him look small, then Eddie ends up muttering to himself consoling himself that he is actually right anyway (even if he's wrong and has been proved to be so).
great comedy series pokes fun at attitudes and stereotypes rather than race a very entertaining and talented cast,BIll (Rudolph Walker) went onto be in eastenders
The good ol' days when energy supplier managers came to your local pub/social club to discus payment. Now it's rip off Britain and bald headed bastid bailiffs if you don't pay your bills.
It's funny how when I was young I had never had a meal other than a roast, meat and two veg, fish and chips or a salad. When it came to curry,chilli, spicy, my parents would say 'we don't eat that kind of thing '. I think the way the reason that this is so funny is the fact that most white English people were scared to venture outside of what their tastebuds knew.
They both appeared in one episode where the men were left baby-sitting at the end, the wives are shown scuttling off for a trip out and Eddie and Bill appear at the front doors carrying them, they chase Joan and Barbie up the street. That was the only time.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
If Eddie and Joan really ate the way they are depicted in this series (chips with everything and fried breakfasts), they'd have both been the size of a supertanker. Eddie has also been shown in past episodes having sausage and chips for his lunch in the works canteen. Fat at 40, dead at 50 lol
As fish and chips were already a staple English meal at least 50 years before that shop opened, it would be amiss to think that the two were never combined earlier, though honestly why an Italian would bother commenting as you have is quite amusing as there was no Italy before 1861, so Michelangelo,, Da Vinci, Caesar etc couldn't have been Italian..
This was a bloody great show I loved all the actors they played their parts very well its ashame they don't make great comedy like this anymore
What and cause race riots in the streets.There were race riots back then dont want them again
Joan was my favourite. I remember the general power cuts. It wasn't funny.
Just about go to Prison now with Eddie's humour.
Bloody funny and Kate Williams was lovely
Kate is absolutely gorgeous
What people who call this racist don't understand is that Eddie and Bill clearly became best mates, although neither would admit it.
yes, I always remember an episode where they refused to serve Bill in a bar, and Eddie got all defensive of him
And in real life. There best of mate's.

In certain areas in Britain you could smell curry and spicy odours in the street and that was enough to put people off .
@@NOTODIVERSITY123 oh dear... does that mean you don't eat anything else than roast veg and 2 Yorkshire puddings.

Would have thought that Bill could have sorted out his problems with the aid of the mouthpiece of Eddie.

Beef curry and no chips
Sine Joan had the baby we haven't seen it in any episode
I was just thinking that, I don't think we have seen either baby have we?
They both appeared in one episode where the men were left baby-sitting at the end, the wives are shown scuttling off for a trip out and Eddie and Bill appear at the front doors carrying them, they chase Joan and Barbie up the street. That was the only time.
The babies have been in at least 4-5 episodes... You just have to look for them
I got full collection
I'm jealous...
Jokes aside… look at Zimbabwe and increasingly South Africa.

Anybody know this please answer me. Eddy is Manu fan. Is that building in the background of the opening old Trafford?
It’s a gas works - at the end of the street they live on. It’s set in London, not Manchester
@@garythomson4702 thanks a million. Watch the entire show but did not know it was set in London.

3:47 Interesting.
The thing is this was offensive in 1970 my grand parents and parents would not allow this show on as they found it disgusting.
It wasn't offensive, it was a show that brought into households around the UK, the absurdity and stupidity of racism.
wow it sounds it 51 years ago. no way it would be shown in back in 90s or early 21st or now 21st century
I can't afford 10p
The first fish and chips show was opened on 1860s by Joseph malin a Jewish immigrant so fish and chips not British. British people adopted it
As fish and chips were already a staple English meal at least 50 years before that shop opened, it would be amiss to think that the two were never combined earlier, though honestly why an Italian would bother commenting as you have is quite amusing as there was no Italy before 1861, so Michelangelo,, Da Vinci, Caesar etc couldn't have been Italian..
