I grew up watching Candid Camera in the US and now I'm just discovering the UK version. To me, the eloquent British way of speaking makes the stunts even better!
Me too, good ol' days. I had a little Morris Minor like that one. Maroon it was. "Pull the starter" brought back memories. Loved that little car, she was already old who I owned her in 1980. Time flies.
I take my hat off to the driving instructor, he has such calmness under a trying situation, great show, used to watch this every week, here in England.
I was hoping that the instructor would get into the driving seat, then the people whose cars had been hit would arrive and kick up a fuss. Then the bloke being taught would blame the driving instructor 😂
That instructor said he’d been teaching driving lessons for 40 years. After today’s disastrous lesson, I’m sure he was thinking about retirement. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Many, many years ago I was a Driving Instructor in Toronto & I had a certain nationality lady that had gone through something like 50 driving lessons previously & a half dozen or so Instructors. Being young & invincible, I figured I would give it a shot. My first clue that she was going to be a problem was when I told her to drive straight through at a traffic light. Even though the light was red she was going to do just as I had told her & drive straight through. My next clue was when I told her to turn right at the next traffic light & she turned left, crossing 3 lanes of traffic, & having a bus come screeching to a stop just inches from my side of the car. After that I refused to take her out anymore, drove her home & told her after 50 lessons she was a menace on the road & to take the bus. She told me she always gets her left & right mixed up & then proceeded to complain to the Mayor, Ministry of Transport, The Better Business Bureau, you name it. - True story.
A classic yes , but why does it "Cut off" so quickly ? I would have loved to see the instructers reaction when he was told about "Candid Camera" anyone know why it finished like it did ?
old man goes: don't you think its about time you stop hitting other peoples cars the joker goes: ya it would be a good idea, i hit 2 over the weekend. hahahahaha. loooool.
I mean that instructor is a bit of a drip with his come in me old son when the man can't drive. Then gets back in the car to let him try again when he has already hit one car. I hope he was never an examiner!
hardly a grey hair on his head for a man who's obviously in his 60s, around that time the dyes used for human hair contained an industrial dye which infected the scalp then if left untreated would eventually poison the brain leading to what was known as 'mop-madness' where a person would either gesticulate in a weird way or if very unlucky they would have diarrhoea blowbacks which coupled with the bobbling of the head and the rampant flicking of the hair made for quite a sight I can tell you, it's on youtube... mop madness... hair bobbling poo
Candid Camera should have had several more cars positioned on the street for him to have his demolition derby. After the instructor with 40 years experience has to deal with that, then the driver tells him he found his learner's permit/drivers license in the street. He would have retired on the spot. ;)
This rhyme do I need to learn this ? Every word of this sir you must really know. how to do the rest sir that you need to show, Just one of our little bits of rubbish to fill up a page that's all, just a piece of poetry P.M.S.L ..Arthur Atkins was a gemius wind up !! Ha ha ha
Love these characters but that Instructor would be in serious trouble these days for allowing a pupil to hit other cars due to such inadequate tuition.
Eithical instructor. Will have to pay IF they come out. Just get away with no note on who caused the dent, eh? Teacher at first walked between the cars and did not notice there was less than a foot room and still told guy to go in reverse. So who’s stupid?
Back in the day, bumpers had an actual use just for this. People did not file claims for bumping a bumper. Bumpers back then were very strong and usually matched the same height as other cars so it was nothing to hit a bumper.
@@coecludd hi I can tell you it was filmed in Chelsea London I think between 19 72 to 19 73. I was assisting a car parking into a garage in Langton street Chelsea I it was a guy with blond hair and a female assistant
The instructor says he's been teaching for 40 yrs but no way would you let a new person to driving drive a car in such a difficult tricky situation . To drive the car from starting with a car parked in front and behind , and into oncoming traffic .
he has parked on the wrong side? oh think cant park like that at nights. anyway, he should have let the instructor start the car and then have the owners of the other cars come and blame the instructor
Please note that I will sharing some very rare UK Candid Camera pranks weekly on my channel over the next few months. Please subscribe and enjoy 😊🎥
Do you have the clip of this driving instructor being told he's on Candid Camera, I'd love to see that.
Thanks Coecludd, they are all great
This is why the UK was so special
The old “ moggy thousand “ .... this was excellent! 👍
such a calm, unflustered instructor. incredible.
I grew up watching Candid Camera in the US and now I'm just discovering the UK version. To me, the eloquent British way of speaking makes the stunts even better!
"don't you think it's about time you stopped hitting other people's cars ?" Brilliant !
The instructor is so calm, charming chap.
Yes, but he was gradually starting to lose it...
He’s unreal he has to ask to see the guys car insurance mot and his his provisional licence.. before the lesson not after he’s bashed a car..
I love seeing old clips with NO MOBILE PHONES!!!!
Hilarious. I love the instructors patience. Great clip altogether
That instructor ... patience of a saint. Bloody hilarious.
Not patient at all, just an incredibly bad driving instructor. I do like him though.
So bloody funny from a bygone era when life was much simpler and we could laugh at ourselves.
Very true,,The Instructor would sue the producers, claim untold thousands of pounds,, because of the "stress" it caused him, what has become of us?
I couldn’t agree more! ☹️
Fun to see regular people in the UK, in those days. I miss the old days.
Me too, good ol' days. I had a little Morris Minor like that one. Maroon it was. "Pull the starter" brought back memories. Loved that little car, she was already old who I owned her in 1980. Time flies.
Brought back a lot of memories! Good Ole days.
He hits two cars before the instructor says, "I think I should show you what to do!" - Can you just imagine that nowadays? - Priceless!
Love the rag over the lens
They were wiping a window in a vehicle where this was being filmed.
They certainly don't make them like this anymore brilliant classic
“Isn't it about time you stopped hitting other cars? Sir” 😂
I take my hat off to the driving instructor, he has such calmness under a trying situation, great show, used to watch this every week, here in England.
"Don't worry me old lad. Get in and show me what you can do."
The instructor was a Legend 😂👍🏻
"May I get the car away from here for you Sir ?"
Priceless.
He wanted to get away.
"I hit 2 over the weekend" nice one
Don't worry sir. Nothings going to happen! Famous last words.
Make Sure You Don't Hit That Car Behind .BANG. Priceless.
I was hoping that the instructor would get into the driving seat, then the people whose cars had been hit would arrive and kick up a fuss. Then the bloke being taught would blame the driving instructor 😂
Great British humour from a bygone age, much more humorous than the American equivalent.
Candid Camera was fantastic to watch and i only wish it would come back on again
Yes like beatals about in 2023
That instructor said he’d been teaching driving lessons for 40 years. After today’s disastrous lesson, I’m sure he was thinking about retirement. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha !! wounderfull !!
When we called Britain England !!!
40 years of that, and not a grey rib. A special breed indeed.
"Will you sit in, Sir, Please?"
"This tyre..."
"Oh, mum!"

Great story. Thanks for sharing 😉 🚗
Still funny! Omg, this wouldn’t fly today. So patient. He’s thinking this is gonna be a long day.
The instructor started out so confident, then fell apart
"I found a driving licence" sounds like this is what happened to many of the drivers on the road.
Thankyou for sharing these what a laugh they used to be 🤣
"You hit that one an' all Sir" deadpan
Make sure you don’t hit that car behind you....you have hit the car behind you!
I used to love Candid Camera! This video is great, many thanks for posting!
Hi ya
Yes and real , no caned laugher
Great show they can’t make shows like this anymore
Pity we don't see the bit when he says .. "Smile you're on Candid Camera"
didnt think id ever see this again the bloke learning to drive is so funny thanks
Arthur Atkins is his name
"Dont worry, nothin's gonna happen, we've all got to start from somewhere"
I grew up in the same street as Arthur Atkins,knew his kids,he was very dry in real life,very funny
Hi Michael.. I'm Arthur's youngest son.. can't place you but remind me?! Simon
Did you live in Cloister?
Yes,used to knock around with your brother Nicky
Lived at no.98cloister road,in between Garath Evan's familly and Philip Smith's familly
@@simonatkins7207 You're dad was the best on the show,hilarious
He's probably thinking, "Oh, bloody hell, I finally got the ultimate idiot!!!!
I can't even write this comment I'm laughing that much 😅😅😅😅😅😅when he hit the 2nd car 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know. I just can't stop laughing! Tears are streaming from my face. It seems so mundane and banal, but it is amazingly funny. I can't explain it.
That was great
I think the instructor has basically given up on life.... hilarious!
they should have gone to the caff & had a cuppa.
Well "How did I do" did I pass? lmao
Absolutely brilliant.....'oh mum' lol
A classic yes , but why does it "Cut off" so quickly ? I would have loved to see the instructers reaction when he was told about "Candid Camera" anyone know why it finished like it did ?
Nice patient instructor.
Men’s wigs certainly weren’t what they are today back then! Dear god it’s like wearing a loaf of bread on his head!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't worry me old lad!
Instructor had 40 years experience? What , at bumper cars laddie?
And he’s got a hay loft sitting on top of his noggin ! Bad toupee!
Toupee? Ive gotta look again..i thought he had good style.
mind there's a car coming ! Ha ha 😂
Use to love this show they were classic
Thx 4 sharing
Those poor Morris Minors getting all banged up for a laugh.... it's criminal that is.
dont you fink its about time we stopped hitting cars hahaha
I thought you had the handbrake on.
The nervous driver looked like Quint out of Jaws
Don't you think it's about time we stopped hitting other people's cars?? (Nah, let's keep at it!)
No wonder driving instructors have nervous breakdowns.
old man goes: don't you think its about time you stop hitting other peoples cars
the joker goes: ya it would be a good idea, i hit 2 over the weekend. hahahahaha. loooool.
Arthur Atkins is his name
Blimey, the instructor is thinking about the 1st lesson report he will turn in to the office. Oh vey! At least he’s natally dressed
The patients of a saint
Only if the saint is a doctor.
That person repeatedly wiping the window!
Not to worry, me old mucker!
"..I thought you had the hand brake on" ...lol
I'm a bit sceptical, because no driving instructor would start a first time learner from between two cars. Never, not even n the 60s.
He’s supposed to have a license per the instructors comment towards the end
If I had a funky car like that I would be the star of the show on the down town cruise
The days driving was a pleasure and not like today a money making machine for the treasury
I mean that instructor is a bit of a drip with his come in me old son when the man can't drive. Then gets back in the car to let him try again when he has already hit one car. I hope he was never an examiner!

Thats a fine rag they usin to keep window clear for the camera
"Drivings a piece of cake?" ... "Yeah!" then chaos ensues, lol!
Absolutely hilarious 😂
That is hilarious!!

He was a calm but rather inept instructor.

Yes he would. 🚗

@@JM-yx1lmI know guys who own $80,000 ford trucks who would kill you if you left a fingerprint on the hood🙀
I starred in candid camera in the 19 70s only wish I could find the clip
Can you tell me what it is? I’ll check my archive.
@@coecludd hi I can tell you it was filmed in Chelsea London I think between 19 72 to 19 73. I was assisting a car parking into a garage in Langton street Chelsea I it was a guy with blond hair and a female assistant
@@coecludd As best of my memory as it was over 45 years ago
I loved this video but the constant fogging and then wiping of the camera lens got annoying
another age - seems like a century ago
It's like 60 years ago, but feels like 70.
no reveal, no thumbs up.
I thought you had the handbrake on? Mind!
The instructor says he's been teaching for 40 yrs but no way would you let a new person to driving drive a car in such a difficult tricky situation . To drive the car from starting with a car parked in front and behind , and into oncoming traffic .
So he started teaching in the 1930s. Long time ago.
paacer .... Things were way more relaxed back then.
I will show you the gears when we get away from here !!!!!!
as if you would get a complete beginner to start by driving off from a closely parked situation.
Hit the gas
You’re not so stupid mate hahaha
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Is that his real hair?
he has parked on the wrong side? oh think cant park like that at nights. anyway, he should have let the instructor start the car and then have the owners of the other cars come and blame the instructor
My instructor checked mine AFTER the first lesson.
Should have checked it before.
