Paul O'Grady Hi De Hi Feature 2007 (Clips Removed)

When I first uploaded my original edit of this much-loved Channel 4 TV Special five years ago, it ammassed 31,000 views before it was suddenly blocked for copyright reasons, because it contained several clips taken from the BBC's original Hi-De-Hi shows, which Channel 4 had been given permission to reproduce in this program but, of course, I had not!
It's taken me several years to think of the solution to this problem, but now I've carefully edited those 'offending' BBC clips out, leaving only Channel 4's material, which they assured me was okay to use, so here it is again for the fans of both Paul O'Grady and of Hi-De-Hi. This show is all the more poignant now, as dear Paul Shane has, of course, passed away since this was made in 2007.

[@rossmcl1776]

17:58 "Hey Jeff, stop talking!" Absolutely top class from Paul Shane.

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

BBC are just a shameless husk of their former heydays.
You still did great for uploading this wonderful reunion mate. TY!

[@cliveeardley7355]

[@faithmapstone9982]

Rip ❤️ Ruth, so nice meeting you a few years ago!
A Very Happy Memory ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@EmmaRiddle543]

Thanks, I don’t mind that clips are removed because you mentioned it. I hate when they say full episode and they’ve removed some clips. Thanks again.

[@stepheng8779]

Pathetic aren't they, I mean we've paid for them they're our programmes. Ironic too this was made at BBC TV centre for Ch4.

[@cliveeardley7355]

Just watched again. Hi De Hi was legendary

[@katierippon6939]

I love this show

[@whatonearth9809]

This is absolutely fantastic! ❤️ what a lovely group of people and what a wonderful show Hi-De-Hi was!

[@SteveParkes-Sparko]

It certainly was! Thank you for your appreciation!

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

You absolutely star. Been looking for this for ages. Got so annoyed it got taken down.
Thankyou so much for this gem 👏👏👏

[@SteveParkes-Sparko]

My pleasure, Daisy! Apparently, it wasn't the BBC who'd objected after all - it was UA-cam themselves being ultra-cautious about BBC copyrighted material!

[@FannyLerouxTime]

It's so sad to think that Shane, Paul and Ruth, since this was filmed, have left us.
I'm sure though that if heaven exists, they've met up with Dianne (who played Yvonne Stuart Hargreaves, del rimple Sykes) and the actor who played Barry Stuart Hargreaves!
So many of the cast have left us and it's a real shame!

[@julianlinsel4346]

Wonderful to see the cast and of course the much missed Paul O'Grady enjoying the interview

[@debbiemccarthy3864]

RIP Ruth 💔😢

[@teacherpete1]

Thanks for this Steve. It made my day. My god! tv was good in those days. Today it is barely watchable and certainly not entertaining in the true sense of the word.

[@SteveParkes-Sparko]

Thanks Peter! Yes - it was, wasn't it?

100% agree

[@siobhancosgrove7277]

Well Said ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@julianlinsel4346]

I can't stop smiling because all the cast are so brilliant

[@benfisher1376]

Hi de Hi is now something from a completely different era. Even sitcoms seem passé in general today😢

[@Greenwillow]

Love Hi De Hi. Sad to Think Ruth, Paul S and Paul O’ have left Maplins😢RIP

[@amyclarke41]

brilliant

[@lucaschapman2188]

Rip Paul Shane , Ruth Maddock and Paul O’ Grady

[@clivestuarteardley6049]

Fabulous 🎉❤

[@tashaimpressions]

This is great, thanks for sharing.

[@mikehumble1120]

Attention to detail spot on. LOVE it when Gladys went "OOH" during her announcement. Just as ahe did in HDH.... Marvelous RIP Ruth

[@johnrider5701]

Hi De Hi was made back in the days when the BBC still had a sense of humour and the licence was worth paying.

[@odettewiddicombe4583]

He is.missed rip Paul

[@nicolepembrey3694]

Nice video

[@indie5826]

Loved the TV show great to see the cast, just a shame paul ogrady talked too much at start. I even went to the stage show early 80s with most of the orginal cast in london.

[@SteveParkes-Sparko]

Thanks Indie - It’s a little bit naughty of you to say Paul O’Grady talked too much at the start! Fair do’s…. I carefully edited everything out of my VHS recording of that whole show that wasn’t directly related to his Hi-De-Hi feature - so I think I got the balance as good as I could get it. This is for fans of BOTH shows!

[@markstevens9660]

Pollard always a ‘gob on legs’ …..🤷🏼‍♂️🙄

[@neilmoulson912]

Have u got the tenko reunion pls

[@MinekEzQM]

How come Jimmy Perry and David Croft were not invited?

[@farmbrough]

Because this is lowest common denominator television.

[@jasmith85]

Hi-De-Hi Campers
