I could remember all of the words. Another wonderful voice of our childhood has departed. Thank you, Bernard for the smiles and occasional tear (the Railway Children).
This song will live on in my house! it was one of my grandads favourites he made us all smile choosing this as we left the church the day of his funeral. RIP Bernard Ribbins
Yes I remember this song , digging a hole, the Railway children and voice over for one of the wombles R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins , Brilliant talented chap
My brother and I burst into a rousing rendition of this whilst carrying the sofa out of my lounge. The two twenty-something carpet fitters were entirely perplexed.

On Christmas day between 10am and 12 Anneka Rice hosts Junior Choice on BBC Radio 2. Every year she gets requests Bernard Cribbins Right Said Fred. Adults think back to their childhood. Children of today love it aswell. In the 60s it was a novelty song but we don't get those these days. I want to forget Bernard Cribbins. He was brilliant.
RIP Bernard. I was lucky enough to meet Bernard a few years ago, and he was great. so friendly, and had me in fits of laughter! We'll miss you Bernard, but we will remember the good times.
Met him back in the 70's when he was compere/MC of a big folk music event in Oldham. Asked to fill in at the last moment we were low on the bill but he was a complete gentleman and total professional, treating us with great kindness and as equals. I'll always remember him fondly.
I use to rush home from school in the early 1970's to watch the Womble's on Children's BBC1 just to hear Bernard doing the voices . Always put a smile on my face . RIP Bernard
There are some people that are just part of our lives and Bernard was one of them. A truly legendary man who has been in so many programmes, films, comedy shows, dramas, and played so many memorable characters. He will be truly missed. 'Right said Fred' has also been a signature tune as well since we were small. We've lost a great man today. God bless Bernard. RIP mate.
RIP Bernard Cribbins you played some of the greatest actors on TV with my personal favourite being Donna's grandfather. You will be remembered as long as Doctor Who will be which is forever. Thank you for your work.
Aw. My mum who I lost young used to sing the line 'Right said Fred both of us together' I say it sometimes and just actually checked where it came from for the first time. Cheers Mum x
why Bernard wasn't knighted is a complete mystery to me he is in the hearts of everyone.i remember him from my childhood and I'm 68 now he was a fantastic versatile guy 🙏 RIP
Just had to listen to this today. A song of my childhood that I loved and my introduction to the late great Bernard Cribbins. Thanks for all the laughter.
I can remember this and "Hole in the Ground" from my childhood. Bernard was a fine actor and singer with a great sense of humour. Rest in peace, Legend.
This song and “The hole in the ground” are guaranteed to put a smile on your face as did the wonderful Bernard Cribbins himself with his acting and narration. His voice was everywhere in my childhood, even as BT’s Buzby the bird! I’ll never forget all the great TV and film work and certainly not his catchy songs. It’s no exaggeration to call him a great British national treasure. Sadly gone but never forgotten. Thank you Bernard for so many lovely memories. RIP.
for as long as I can remember, 'right said fred' has been a household expression. At least with me and those around me. Today I discovered the famous saying's origins. Bloody brilliant.
RIP Mr. Cribbins. You will be dearly missed. I loved this song and every time i saw you on Doctor Who. You were hilarious on the Buzzcocks. You had a wonderful life, and wish you and your family all the best.
Sad day. The curtain closes on a wonderful 70 year + carer . He will be remembered for many things but for me it was his wonderful narration of a passion for angling. Rip bernard. 😢
I remember sitting with my Grandad listening to this on the radio 'Junior Choice' with Ed Stewart in the late 60's early 70's. I knew all the words then and still do now. Happy times....Thanks for the memories Mr Cribbins.
Bernard Cribbins - a wonderful old-school entertainer - writer, singer and actor. I came here as soon as I heard the news to listen to the song again. Always remember "you never get nowhere if you're too 'asty".
My dad showed me this a year ago and said it's like us doing maintenance on his bike, I've kept rewatching it ever since and it kills me every time when he blows out the ceiling
I remember this song as a kid, Bernard was a personality of my childhood and I always get a nice little warm buzz hearing his voice. RIP Bernard Cribbins x
I absolutely LOVE this song!!! It is SOO 1962...it SCREAMS the early, pre-Beatles 60s in Britain...the 60s when Cliff Richard & The Shadows were Britain's biggest pop stars...the 60s before they began to swing...the 60s when 'Hancock' and 'Supercar' were on telly. I was only about 2 years old when this song came out, and yet for me it evokes strong memories of early childhood. Bernard Cribbins RULES!! Oh, and my 8 year old daughter loves it too! 6 cups of tea in just over 2 minutes...classic!
One of the many wonders of the 50th anniversary celebration of Doctor Who in London was seeing Cribbins perform this as I was walking past the stage. Years later I met Bernard at a different London con and I must say, he was an absolute gentleman. BERNARD CRIBBINS 1928 - 2022 Gone, but never to be forgotten.
RIP Bernard sad day and always loved this on Junior Choice Hope they can now bestow a posthumous knighthood on him Thank you for all the laughs Bernard we will miss you,
The Beatles was pretty much the first "real" band George Martin produced (as opposed to doing comedy songs, which are still "real" too but you get what I mean). The record company didn't think much of the Beatles and were the only one to actually give them a record deal, after every other company had turned them down, and so they threw the guy who did joke songs in the studio with them, and it turned out George Martin was the best producer ever, and the band was the best band ever.
my old fella used to sing this and "Hole in the ground" to me and my twin when were young kids. makes me smile when i hear it. i sing it to my baby now
I just found this video after looking into the "I'm too sexy" song which got their band name from this song... and I'm glad I did, such awesome animation and lyrics!!!
One of our greats, his leaving us leave our theater and TV with a great vacuum which in my book, none of these waste of time celebs can fill. I loved the Sixties when there was a variety to the top of the pops and our great stars of TV and film could regale us with their hits, I will never forget Bernard's or the Goodies humorous songs.
His voice was part of my childhood since ever I can remember. He was one of those people who gave the feeling he’d always been there. Saw this cartoon on TV in the late 1960s. It’s hard to know he’s no longer with us.
Any chance we can get this to No1 in the UK. A legend who will be missed.
is it available to buy? (could only find 1 vinyl left on amazon but doubt that would contribute to the charts).
@@icydsting6037 as far as I understand music streamed on you tube counts to wards the charts. Although I might be mistaken.

he will be sadly missed and I agree with you too 😢
I've also listened to this a few times now
I could remember all of the words. Another wonderful voice of our childhood has departed. Thank you, Bernard for the smiles and occasional tear (the Railway Children).
So sad today. He had such warmth - and was a part of *everyone's* childhood - in the UK, at least. RIP 😥💔

RIP Bernard Cribbins. You brought me a lot of joy through the years
I watched him as a little girl and so did my daughter in Old Jack's Boat. Bless him. A life well lived.
Me too! 👍

Loved Bernard Cribbins reading Jackonory as a kid he was a magical story teller. Just one of my childhood heroes
...Now let's get this song to Number 1 as a tribute to the legend Bernard Cribbins!
My brother and I burst into a rousing rendition of this whilst carrying the sofa out of my lounge. The two twenty-something carpet fitters were entirely perplexed.
This 25 year old knows exactly what you're talking about 🤣
RIP
@@johnbull9195 Obviously you were raised by cultured parents! 😊
You have to be a certain age and have a sense of humour🤣 RIP Bernards Cribbins, thank you for the wonderful humour.🌹

The last time I saw this film I was about eight year's old. I am now sixty. You have made an old man very happy.
oz1902 60 ain't old!
I remember this as a child. You make me feel ill.
This reminds me my childhood too. I am 29
Everyone liked that! 😁
This would have reminded me of my childhood if I wasn't so old that I'd forgotten I had one.
A huge part of my childhood from The Wombles to his storytelling on Jackanory as well as being a great actor. A true legend. R.I.P
Storytelling on Jackanory !! He was a Legend !!
DR.WHO movie,Carry On movie,The Wombles...legend.
Bernard Cribbins is a living legend, why he hasn't been knighted, I'll never known. He is a complete national treasure...what a brilliant man.
Absolutely Sarah. I totally agree with you regarding a knighthood. It would be right and fitting if he got knighted and let's hope he does very soon.
Maybe he turned it down.
@@jeffrey44 That would be easy to determine since there is a list in Wikipedia of those who did.
See “List of people who have declined a British honour”.
He should be Lord Cribbins of TheOle in TheGraaaand
maybe because he doesn't meet the requirements of a Knighthood. Can't just give one to someone because 'he's a legend'.
Rest in peace Bernard, you'll be dearly missed.
Bernard Cribbins is an absolute legend! Without a shadow of a doubt he should be Sir Bernard Cribbins!!!
Well....Was
You might want to change “should be” to “should have been” now…
No… only poncy little Formula one Drivers get knighted… not true humanitarian’s like Bernard Cribbins.
He was
Thanks for the memories you brilliant man

As a kid this song appealed to me as it sounded right daft. As an adult I eventually understood the humour.
RIP Bernard.
His quirky 1960s songs were great fun to listen to.

You can see from all the comments how well loved Bernard was. A very rare and precious relationship between artist and people.
Everything Bernard Cribbins did was just great.
Bernard Cribbins (1928-2022) RIP. Farewell to a giant of British Classics in Film and TV.

I had this on my fifth birthday party mixtape. Didn’t twig til years later it was Bernard Cribbins singing it. May he rest in peace.
I'm here to pay tribute to the wonderful Bernard Cribbens. Another little piece of my childhood slips away...😞
Im 65 Remembered this on the radio in New Zealand...the adults singing it.
"Right said Fred...av a cuppa tea"
what a loss, he will be remembered as SIR Bernard Cribbins in my mind, such a man of many many talents and never heard a bad word said about him ever
I can remember this and "Hole in the Ground" from my childhood. Bernard was a fine actor and singer with a great sense of humour. Rest in peace, Legend.
R.I.P Bernard Cribbins, this song came into my head when I heard the news this morning.
Truly, great artists are never appreciated until they are gone.
Great song, brilliant performance and the wonderful little cartoon is perfect. RIP.
