“Shirley Bassey?” “She doesn’t have the range. I’m sorry, Shirley; I love her to bits, but she doesn’t have the range.” “But that’s you.” ” I don’t care. I don’t have the range.”
I will never tire of saying 'doesn't have the range'. I do not care how few or how many people get the reference. It is the greatest line ever. You are privileged to have heard it.
''Oh, I've seen that film, pure fantasy...People aren't unemployed. There's no such place as Sheffield. It's utter rubbish.'' My ribs cracked from laughter.
Shirley: “It was very tough darling. Living in a small Welsh mining village and growing up black.” Tom: “Well it was worst for me. Living in a small Welsh mining village and growing up Welsh.”
'Yeesss I am the voice of Bond dahling. The DIAMONDS THEY ARE FOREVER SIR! THE MOONRAKER KNOOOOOWWSS!! THE GOLDFINGAAAAHH!! All the songs my dahling.' LOOOOL
I think there were a few of their rock profile characters that made it into little Britain - kind of a shame this show never really made it into the public eye even after they had such success as it is probably the funniest material they ever came up with.
@@minicheddar1287 little Britain series 1 was very funny, but it was much less so after that and ended up being pretty embarrassingly unfunny by the end
For anyone who has seen the original clips of Shirley Bassey when she is drunk, this is all the more hilarious because it is so accurate! :-D Long live Dame Shirley.
This is the best inside joke between friends... my gosh-- I've been known for years of saying that nobody has the range!!! :) Thanks for uploading this so I could come back to this all these years.
"I met Tina turner once, he said I was the best singer of my generation" Jamie Theakson: You men she, "No he, buck teeth, pink hat, hair bigger than David Tennant?" Shirley: That's Timmy Turner, dear.
“Shirley Bassey?”
“She doesn’t have the range. I’m sorry, Shirley; I love her to bits, but she doesn’t have the range.”
“But that’s you.”
” I don’t care. I don’t have the range.”
Lisa13245 I LAUGHED. SO. HARD. 😂😂😂😂😂
4:39
Still cracks me up, even though I expect it.
Lisa13245 😂😂😂 omfg I can't breathe
No one has the range. 💯😅
"Paul McCartney"
"She doesn't have the range"
Well she doesn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cory Mck how long did it take for you to do that instead just using the "🤷🏻♀️" emoji
😂
Inadvertent but true. Didn’t laugh on that one. Lol
There's no such place as Sheffield
I will never tire of saying 'doesn't have the range'. I do not care how few or how many people get the reference. It is the greatest line ever. You are privileged to have heard it.
😂😂 like your style
I shoe horn it into any conversation I possibly can. "Wanna go to the gym today?" "I don't have the range."
It’s truly iconic.
You say you will never tire of it, but darling, you haven’t got the range!
You use a Welsh accent, of course?
"And... what about you, Shirley, do men throw their pants at you when you're onstage?"
"Darling, they try, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ThE RANGE!!"
that voice has been in my head saying that... for years now
that voice has been in my head saying that... for years now
This is the greatest line the ever did. Just hilarious
"People aren't unemployed, there's no such place as Sheffield, utter rubbish" 😂😂😂
"Dahling they try, but they don't have the RANGE!!"
The whole thing was leading up to that moment and it was glorious.
Wish I could sing like Shirley, I don't have the range😐
SuperStargazer666 no one has the range
I love you darling but you don’t have the range.
You know she made Happy Birthday 😫😫
Neither does she.
I just kept cracking up because all Shirley's hits all have the same damn note, Brilliant
I know,;I do loads of Shirley songs and they usually revolve around Bb, well, when I do them they do, maybe I just don't have the range!!
@@stewartfraser2574 hahaha
she doesn't have the range lol
@@yourmomschesthair8233 whatevs
This interview is iconic. It’s so iconic that I don’t have the range to express just how iconic it is.
😂😂😂😂
Matt’s performance as Shirley is legitimately masterful.
"Billie Eilish?"
"She doesn't have the range. NO TIME TO DIEEEEEEAHHHH There. That's how it should be sung."
Okay this one made me cackle out loud
I'm dying!
😂😂😂
Well, it’s true though! She doesn’t have the range!
Actually she does have the range 😂 www.nme.com/news/music/dame-shirley-bassey-says-billie-eilish-did-a-good-job-on-bond-theme-2822072
If anyone is looking for the "doesn't have the range" part. it's 5:05-5:25
Jesus christ thank you
thanks my dude
Thanks, because this is overly long!
Good Looking Out! ✌🏽
Not all hero's wear capes
Few people know that "she doesn't have the range" is something Shirley actually said about Tina Turner around the time of Goldeneye.
There's a snippet of that show on UA-cam lol. It was like a mini reality show.
I knew that
Wtf?
From 3.28
ua-cam.com/video/OwaGsdESjko/v-deo.html
That's part of what makes it so funny, Shirley Bassey is ACTUALLY LIKE THIS!! :-D (at least when she's pissed)
Did you manage to see each other's shows? " I didn't get a chance darling I was only there for twenty seven years"
and Tom Jones was only there for three hundred
''Oh, I've seen that film, pure fantasy...People aren't unemployed. There's no such place as Sheffield. It's utter rubbish.'' My ribs cracked from laughter.
Can someone explain that joke?
Shirley Bassey is a bit eccentric or doolaly.
it plays on the joke that Shirley is a diva and is pretty far removed from reality.
as the song goes..."they who have nothiiiiiiiing"
"He's putting me off darling, I've had so many hits...Happy Birthday to you..."
I cant decide whether that ones my favorite or "Tomorrow Never DIIIIIEEES, there thats how it should be sung"
I've finished the Internet and this is my favourite video,
"The diamonds they are forevarsarrrhhh.....the goldfingarrrhhh". She sings like that LOL.
2:40 Ferrrerro Rocherr schhocolat, my dahling. lol My god... this skit is hilarious!!
Shirley literally did the entire interview lying down. That’s a diva.
So true 😭😭😭
She saw a darling film darling! 😀
She's not here to make friends. 🤣
Shirley: “It was very tough darling. Living in a small Welsh mining village and growing up black.”
Tom: “Well it was worst for me. Living in a small Welsh mining village and growing up Welsh.”
Best line ever
Shirley actually grew up in Tiger Bay in Cardiff’s docklands. Very diverse even back then.
'Yeesss I am the voice of Bond dahling. The DIAMONDS THEY ARE FOREVER SIR! THE MOONRAKER KNOOOOOWWSS!! THE GOLDFINGAAAAHH!! All the songs my dahling.'
LOOOOL
You didnt do em all, I did Thunderball.
I think youre mistaken dahling thats one of mine. THE THUNDERBALLS ARE FOREVER SIIIRRRR!!!
darling?
"You're a wicked boy trying to seduce me!" 🤣
I don't care, I don't have the range
I crack up every time. I've rewatched it so many times lmfao
dickpigging101 me too
Ha ha ha brilliant
I love it when Matt plays sassy women. XD
"I LAV TO MAKE LAV TO YOU DAHLING."
XD
You again!
Nice to see you too XD
"You're a wicked boy dahling trying to seduce me dahling" 😂😂😂
LMAO You can see where Bubbles came from xDDD
"OOO take your hands of meeeeh!!" 😂😂
I’ve got to say, Jamie Theakston is brilliant in this. His horrified and baffled reactions are spot-on.
Jamie Squeakston* 😉😂
He? Tina turner ?
Gets me in stitches every time.
You mean Dickie Turpin, darling.
What a masterpiece
Am I allowed to say that, because I don't have the range!?
The green, green grass of home...
Florida.
"All the hits darling."
Just perfect and never gets old even after watching repeatedly over the years.
I wish I could be as self-assured as Shirley Bassey is in this sketch
Yes! It is the dream to have this much self-awareness and this little self-consciousness.
Maybe you could be... If you had the range
Probably their best ever sketch. Love it.
Bubbles was obviously inspired by Matt's portrayal of Shirley ;)
I think you are quite correct.
Congratulations !
Tap water for everyone !

@@TyrannosaurusCHEX stfu, little Britain is better. Stop trying to be more ‘cultured’
@@minicheddar1287 little Britain series 1 was very funny, but it was much less so after that and ended up being pretty embarrassingly unfunny by the end
'THE THUNDERBALLS ARE FOREVER SIRRR!'
as an American from Chicago, I just found this show and this is basically my everything rn
Can I also recommend Star Stories
cool, welcome to britain!
*in the tune of Diamonds Are Forever* "TOMORROW NEVER DIIIIES"
"There, that's how it should be sung."
“I’ll meet you around the back, by the bins. Uhh take your hands off me!” 😹😹😹😹😹
i love how the camera drifts eerily towards Tom's crotch all the time
+snelopy it does doesn't it...i noticed at the end, but then going back it's sometimes resting there when they cut back to him. lol
as it should
Hahahaha "....but that's you." "I don't care I don't have the range!"
I showed this to my dad and now he won’t stop saying “SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE RANGE”
For anyone who has seen the original clips of Shirley Bassey when she is drunk, this is all the more hilarious because it is so accurate! :-D
Long live Dame Shirley.
I sought it out and am FASCINATED with that documentary now! Awful drunken jokes about the Bishop Said To The Actress etc!
Jamie theakstone was stunning here. Those closeups don’t take any prisoners!
Hes putting off dahling I've had so many hits, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOU...
Shaka KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
5:24 "I don't care... I don't have the range." I'm dead.
She just doesn't have the range x
One of the funniest sketches period.
"Well it was worse for me; living in a small Welsh mining village and growing up Welsh!" xD Gets me every time.
I love how every song Shirley demonstrates sounds exactly the same. 😂
She does bring Thunderball up a key or two to show versatility lol
...and with the insistence "That's how it should be sung." lol
"I think you're mistaken, darling, that's one of mine...THE THUNDERBALL'S ARE FOREVER SIRRRRRRRR!!!!"
31 people just dont have the range!!!!
Bill Proud 52 people now. i love them i adore them but they dont have the range, darlings
yaspaige6 61 Now
Bill Proud 62 people don't have the range
63 now
Bill Proud 66
This would have been the greatest snatch game performance of ALL TIME!
💯👐👏👏🤣🤣🤣 the snatch game we all need to see!!
Matt's reaction at 0:56 - laser-focused vapid look with dead eyes, and the eye roll! LOLS!!
One of the greatest videos on UA-cam. What a tonic. Cmon 🏴
Watching David’s welsh accent go from Welsh to Indian cracks me up
This is the best inside joke between friends... my gosh-- I've been known for years of saying that nobody has the range!!! :) Thanks for uploading this so I could come back to this all these years.
i cracked up laughing so hard !! "i don´t care i don´t have the range" bit was so funny
shirley bassey?
she doesn't have the range!
that's you...
i don't care i don't have the range
"Shirley, do the men throw their underwear at you too?"
"They try, but they don't have the range!"
One of my favorite bits in this-that I haven't seen brought up-is that she choose where to live from a Herbie film.
"The diamonds are forever sir!" Send flowers to my family, because I died.
i laughed so much, i am welsh,
i nearly went hysterically insane...
i'd never have guessed you were welsh with a last name like _jones_ :)
Yes, we all come here over and over again for the "She doesn't have the range" moment... but it's best version is at the end. "Darling, they try !"
The casual roasting to each other is killing me inside XD
I love Matt Lucas’ mannerisms, esp. in this sketch! :p
LOL I don't care I don't have the range
We hope it's chips it's chips! *Serious face* Still kills me to this day
I love how Lucas’ impersonation of Dame Shirley Bassey was just an early Bubbles Devere! 😂😂
They did that with a couple of their characters. Lou and Andy were basically just Lou Reed and Andy Warhol from rock profiles.
😭😂 “I hope it’s chips, it’s chip” lol. This was so much fun to watch.
David Walliams looks like Fred West here!😱
That's quite frightening eek!
ha! ha! ha! Magic!!!
omg!lol
dvdredmond haha he does as well he should of played him instead of Dominic west.
But then he'd have to murder people!
omg i love this "shirley"
“Paul McCartney?” “She doesn’t have the range”
4:18 = Skyfaaaaaaaaaaaaall
I love it when a joke actually gets fresher years after it was written!
LMAO,, HIS show had to be on in the afternoon so the audience could get back to the nursing home
Their timing is perfect and their reaction looks so real lol makes it the best sketch ever. Perfect example 7:00 to 7:45
The man who broke the bank of Monte carlooooooooaahhh 1:17
The Brits have always been great at impersonation... but this is another level.. best comedy in the world...
Lmao she said ive had so many hits and started singing happy birthday to u.
I keep returning to this over and over. Love it.
You don't have the range.
@@TomRipley7350 Still, Turpin.
"Have you ever stayed in a trusthouse fortay travel lodge my darling?"
"Yes I have"
"You're a very wicked boy trying to seduce me"
As a Welsh person this is hilarious!
She Doesn’t have the range
She doesn’t have the range
Doesnt have the range .. but that’s you .. I don’t care I don’t have the range 😂😂😂😂
"I met Tina turner once, he said I was the best singer of my generation" Jamie Theakson: You men she, "No he, buck teeth, pink hat, hair bigger than David Tennant?" Shirley: That's Timmy Turner, dear.
Still, Turner! 😉
When she yells " take your hands off me" I about died
“But that’s you”
“I don’t care she doesn’t have the range!”
i came for one line but stayed for all nine and a half minutes of joy
7:52 The Face of the Interviewer is so perfect, So much bewilderment causes these strange inhabitants, the man deserves a BAFTA!
This makes me soooo happy, thank you for uploading😘
Legendary....Shes right - they dont have the range....
7:35 The fact that she’s singing a commercial about panty-liners LMAO.
"The green green grass of home!!....Florida."
these are all hilarious but this one in particular makes me laugh like some dog with mange. these two were so destined to do comedy together.
Tom Jones ... smashing knockers ...😁
These guys make me laugh so hard! I love them in anything.
I watch this video at least once a week. it's so much more than the meme. every moment a perfection
the two are hilariously funny
AWESOME XD
“They try, but they don’t have the range!” Such amazing payoff for that joke
Ferrerrro roshayy schokolahh mai dahling
LOL!!! This is too funny. Thanks for the laugh.
You cannot get better! Hilarious. xx
Wtf have I found on UA-cam. I'm in love 😂
