God, I can hardly keep upright for laughing. Why isn't this man more widely appreciated?
because he is made for radio and your imagination...it doesn't transfer to tv
@@ericlyon1425 I absolutely love the TV show, but I'd never listened to the radio version. He was a completely new character to me. My wife and I are currently watching the 3 seasons on Netflix, and have not laughed so much in a long time 😅
more please 😅😅😅😅
Was sooooooo disappointed when the BBC dropped it after just 3 series. He’s an absolute Genius Long Live The Count.....
Because he is white
@@gavindouglas3196 The Mash report got 4 years.
Genius modern old time style. But he is actually unique in his own right. Never get tired of these comedy gems.
@@gavindouglas3196 so true!
@@cyclist68 Should have been with hard labour!.
If your down and feel low have no fear the count is at Hand.
The best episode ever. The bit about Cliff Richard. I nearly crashed my car. I had to pull over.
The TV series was really good too but I suppose it didn't fulfil the quotas.
The mistletoe and wine quote is my favourite from all the radio episodes. Pure genius. Which sums him up nicely. I saw him at the Liverpool Empire, and met him afterwards, and had my photo taken holding a sign saying genius, with an arrow pointing towards him.
Me too, I had to pause it.
Oh I remember this, back when radio was any good.
Count Arthur Strong is the funniest comedian in Years. fabulous.
The Cliff Richard/Buttocks sequence is one of the glories of radio comedy
As someone who's actually from Egypt, this was hilarious 😂.
As some who is actually not from Egypt this was hilarious.
Just been trying to put my make up on whilst listening to this......gave it up.....shaking with laughter !😆😆
Me too.
Count Arthur Strong one of the funniest men on radio
This count is actually the king of comedy
I haven't laughed out loud as much since Spike Milligan , the man is a genius !!!
Yes good comparison. CAS is brilliant.
Best comedy since... . ... I don't know when. I really do
I have to admit I much prefer the Radio series. This was mainly because they tried to change it from Northern to fit the Southern cultural heritage of an East end cafe. It’s a shame they didn’t stick to the Northern elements that make Count Arthur so Strong up North 😊
Yes....the only advantage is you see his facial expressions and body movements 😂
I have watched on tv and listened on radio and I haven't laughed so loud for years.
Re-watching the series and I haven’t laughed so hard in all my life, the tears are pouring out. I really hope some more things are coming again, please!!
A hidden gem, Thank you for sharing.
Count Arthur told me recently "Sadly due to a complete mix up, which I might add was not of my making, I've been barred from entering Egypt ever again. A young native lad called Abdul asked me to hold some tickets for him whilst the Police took him away for questioning. Another Policeman explained that I should have had a sales licence. What, for doing someone a favour just holding their tickets, I argued. It didn't do any good as they prosecuted me for Pyramid selling" You couldn't make it up.

Count Arthur on the Radio as opposed to the TV is hilarious. He is pure genius. I have all his Radio plays and his book. I listen to him many times and still pick up jokes I missed. I don't think it crossed to tv as Well. The new characters were not that good. I wish with all my being he would do more radio.
Hilarious. Love how he constantly digs the conversational hole ever deeper!!! I laugh so much it makes my face ache. Brilliant stuff!!
Always back down to Earth with count Arthur!
Being a Brit in the US, I didn’t discover the Count until a few years ago. I think I managed to listen to all his radio shows before they were taken down. The Hillman Minx with Terry Wogan is still my favorite. Too bad the BBC archive doesn’t still have them available.
Heard the very first episode ..... a comic icon. SUPERB. " Get me a glass of water please WAZZER".
This guy's a comic genius...looking forward to seeing him live
tom hughes he is amazing live. You wait til you see him on Candida camera
Absolute legend 👏
Saw him last night in Tewkesbury, very very funny. Class act.
We were there, it was great, there had been floods everywhere and it was just before the pandemic, happy days!
have been listening to arthurs adventures in spain his spanish elvis had me in hysterics catch it on radio 4 extra
i heard that , it was hilarious
I was on the day on the recording present in the audience
'Returned' to the Count having been in the audience for the Des O'Connor and Jimmy Tarbuck tour last night here in Harrogate (they were brilliant and are showbiz royalty) got chatting with a bloke sat next seat and he'd seen the Count on stage recently - great to meet a fellow fan - been listening to the Count for hours since - gosh I must see him live!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
One of the funniest men on the radio ever
Absolutely brilliant,I was on the end of my schute, suite, sodding seat listening to this piles of windows, bloody pearls of wisdom
Saw him live in Exeter a couple of years ago. Hilarious. My stomach was actually hurting so much from laughing. There’s no one that can do this.
This man is hilarious. He has me in stitches.
fantastic comedian. so underrated 😂😂😂😂
I just got hooked on this show!! Steve Delaney is hilarious!
i used to work in a call centre and i often got through to customers as cantankerous as count arthur strong.
Two slices of tea
Thank goodness I found this !
I know where there are several full radio episodes if you are still looking..?
The best thing since sliced bread.... I really do
I think all those who decry Arthur's rise to fame as a star of the televisual arts are trying to deny his talents to the seething masses. The genius must be allowed to be overexposed in all mediums, large and extra large.
The Count is so great he's not just a Count, he's a Calculate! He's almost a COMPUTE!
@@MatthewMcVeagh Its always the different the stand alone characters that get short thrift while the mundane talentless ones get wide exposure.
For example James cordon?? he is as funny as woodworm in a cripples crutch. Dry grey beige comes to mind but the populace love him even in America...I just don't understand it. Count Arthur steve delany has more talent under his little pinky than corden. But again the powers that be want you to laugh at who they choose it seems.
@@Alji3dom Agree :)
@@Alji3dom Not really fair. Corden is an idiot and mostly unfunny. But there's comedy genius in Gavin and Stacey which he co wrote. Arthur appeals to a narrow band of people and the BBC needed a bigger audience. I love him live, on radio and on TV, but he's not hugely popular even with my age group. And his live audiences are nearly all aging men, so not great for diversity. BTW woodworm in a cripple's crutch is desperate comedicaly. I rest my suitcases.
I just wish I was around in 1968-69 when everything seemed to happen. Count Steve
Just the kind of talk on Egypt they should hold at the British Museum. I'd pay good money to go. :D
Sheer delight!
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂
Truly BRILLIANT !!!
FUNNIEST RADIO STAR SINCE HANCOCK
Aaaaaahhhh listening to count arthur in a warm bath
The opening bit reminds me of my days working in a call centre, when I had to cold call pensioners.
I wouldn't have thought prisoners had phones. Are you sure that's what it was?
@@FiremanSam60 I got through to a few people who were locked up.
Excellent show. Very funny.
thanks for that. I really do!
Absolute genius
i'd love to see a 3-way debate with Psychic Charlie and little Tiny Tut on the effects of modern history education vis-a vis the Doncaster Alhambra; channelling Burning Billy Bugle and Lenny Long Arms of course
Brilliant 🙂👍❤️
Come back Arthur, I really do.
"...half-past seven! what's up with yer?!"
I remember seeing count author string in the west end years ago doing Shakespeares's City....town... hamlet!!! loved his rendition of the speech 'to be a bee or a wasp, what was the question?
I'm crying here XD
"Knotted rope, viper, Lioness, Dog head, Eagle, knotted rope, Sun God, Lioness, knotted rope"
= "Halft past Seven! What's wrong with yer?!"
PERFECT 😂
Bloody GENIUS😄 😂 😂😂😂
The best.
I much prefer the radio version, on TV its more of a regular comedy, no word play & he doesn't get drunk or cause so much bother.. BTW - the sig tune reminds me of Hancock's Half Hour..
brilliant. i have not laughed this much since her indoors said i do.
Why have I never heard of this guy before? Absolutely hilarious
you are probably not a Radio 4 listener as there were 8 series broadcast over a decade or so.
Quite brilliant.
Wonderful stuff.
The show was great
a 1 month reply would be considerableish under the circumfrumstanceses
Absolute comic genius!
We all love anything to do with Egyepaligicolialy 😄
Surreal.
Just about the funniest radio series' ever made.....i sometimes think i must be in a minority.
Agreed - Count Arthur is great on the radio. The TV show is all wrong - where is Wilf and the pub?
Agreed: Count Arthur Strong without Wilf the butcher is like Fred Astaire without Ginger Baker - unthinkable.
I susspose you mean't Ginger Rogers
@@iangwilliams8812 I think he was paying tribute to Arthur
Diversity.
You couldn't make it up
His radio shows are a million times better than the tv show which was ok but these are brilliant
Brilliant!
one word .genious.
Great 'sampler' as they were once known.
My 'tinned' CD set must now be in need of updating.
Love this so much
viper, vulture, half past seven. Rambling genius
I hope Little Tiny King Tut shows up.
Mmmmmmffff
subbed! TYSM!
He’s great
What's that Society again, Arthur?
To the Tech "..look at your bit of paper!"
"..back round to the ticket office!" Love it!!
wonderful comedy, radio is the medium for his talents. Can't get into the tv shows for some reason.
peepodaylane Yes, the TV show did seem wrong to us die-hard radio fans at first. But I think it is worth giving time to; you have to clear the radio version from your mind, and take the TV show on its own merits.
I am now a fan of both. The TV show is really a double act with a wonderful performance from Rory Kinnear.
Part of the problem I found was that Steve Delaney (while a perfectly normal looking fellow off stage) morphs into a rather disturbing and unpleasant looking man when in character This takes a bit of getting used to! He's a bit harder to love when we can see him.
+peepodaylane I agreed with you up to the flying lesson episode. That hesitating walk to the plane (as both characters thought the other was the instructor) made me fall off my chair.
I really struggled with the TV shows up until the second half of the second series when it really took off and realised that the TV character had a new life of its own - then it was another medium to enjoy. Now I enjoy them both.
Ed O'Meara - Me too. The way that scene was written and performed was genius. :-)
@@fasteddyuk Agreed! One of the best sights gags I've ever seen, beautifully executed
Too good.. day to you
I prefer the radio show, but the TV was still good.
Classic, absolute classic- maybe a little bit high brow for some of youth pubes normal partakers. Best listened to in green ink. A towering comedic genius- at least 64 pigeon legs.
...there's nothing wrong with my eyes, as you would know if you were a proper butcher...hahaha brilliant
Why cancel his series And not Cancell that crap mrs browns boys..
The count is a genius , brilliant tv...
I agree! I'm so glad someone else thinks the same
Omg
open the door to something well beyond the Looking glass and enjoy a completely surreal world view….brilliant
Probably just as well it was cut as keeping this standard up would be hard
Marvelous
Count Arthur started out as a salesman, he sold doors, bit of a flop though, going door to door to sell doors
Saw him live absolutely extraordinary 2 hours of mayhem and comedic timing from a true original
Does anyone else think that Geoffrey sounds like Ron Glum?
1:16 did Sue Perkins almost break into laughter here??
I imagine he has a Twitface... Face-ache.... Oh... FACEBOOK ! (that's what I said) account....., so... all my.. HIS fans can keep in contrast... CONTACT !
New comedy legend
I wonder if the show was canned due to the world veoh against Graham lineham
Definitely... erm ... the fuzziest... funniest man for ever and never,
Let's have a soup off !
A Leeds lad say no more brilliant.
Comic genius. Love it.
more please 😂😂😂😂
