Dear God I feel old! Saw this the first time around and couldn't remember what it was called over the years, I could only recall Robin Baily, John Comer and the opening titles for some reason! Wonderful to find old shows from your youth on these channels...scary though, how fast the passage of time....this first episode was broadcast in August, 1975....47 years...
This show is new to me. Thank you so much for sharing. So nice to see Liz Smith. I only know her from Vicar of Dibley, and she left so early in that show. Cheers!
It is quite true most women do yack, yack, yack. It's like the old Les Dawson gag: "Archaeologists have found a human skeleton. They reckon it's about 10 thousand years old and female. They know it's female because it's mouth is open".
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 ?" ua-cam.com/video/POO4lrTclNY/v-deo.html
Robin Bailey - what an actor.
A classic old comedy show,better than some of the so called comedy we get today
english language the best and wonderful actors to embelish it more
I heard that.....Pardon!
Well I gave up after four and a half minutes. I didn't laugh once.

RIP Anita Carey (Pat) may the price of sprouts be outrageous
She was a beauty in this and Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads....................
Now watching this on gold tv its good old fashioned comedy not the trash you get today i do remember this from the 1970s love it
RIP Anita Carey, the glorious, snobby and ambitious Pat ❤
Loved it & still love it 👍
Brilliant to watch this again after so many years.
I agree good old fashioned comedy from the 1970s
Ar well um
This show is new to me. Thank you so much for sharing. So nice to see Liz Smith. I only know her from Vicar of Dibley, and she left so early in that show. Cheers!
Thanks for the upload mate. I 'eard that pardon.
What a gem from the past THANKS
How good to see that Bernard Lodge was credited for the title sequence, he created many of the title sequences for Doctor Who as well.
Wow that Anita Carey was stunning.
I agree 100%. I used to have a huge crush on her when I was 15
She died on 19th July 2023.
This is delicious. How wonderful to see John Comer
Mmm. Aye well brilliant stuff 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
One of the best comedies ever
John comer was one of the best
Dead pan actors ever
Along with Geoffrey Palmer
Rip both of them
I heard that Pardon
I always remember the episode with Lofty Saltmaresh in it who was about 5 ft tall with his netted driving gloves & Morris Marina🤣
I saw this at the time, I didnt realise it was Stephen Rea......
Ye gods. Even Anita and John couldn't save that.
It always reminded me of Last of the Summer Wine, but funny.
A like, only because last of the summer wine is its own kind of bad.
OH JOHN COMER he of late last of the summer wine .. with IVY …. Died of a heart attack as I recall 😢
Throat cancer did for poor old John.
I heard that pardon
Another "comedy" that didn't escape the confines of the sceptered isles, thus keeping the international reputation of British TV intact.
Looks to me that the earrings that Liz Smith is wearing are Whitby Jet. Same thing with the other ladies.
If she hadn't been killed, it would have been fatal. 😆
Subbed

o well, l second that
@@tomatenpaprika6323 As do I.
Very funny. It's hilarious when the men talk about a woman laying an egg ... Pardon?
Sanatogen.
Sañatogen, iron tabs my dad used to buy them for me,,,, said I needed them
What was the reason the man with the box always ended a sentence with "Pardon"?
He was a WW1 veteran who was suffering what today is known as PTSD. The box contained the ashes of Parkinson his "oppo" in the trenches.

And your point ?
@@davec5621 IM A DOCTOR AND I WANT MY SAUSAGE'S !
What awful relations
Fantastic stuff, but Steven Rea is a terrible actor!
He only followed the script. He played it deadpan. His acting got better when Hollywood came calling.
This is terrible compared to last of the summer wine
You've got no taste man...
