Sunday afternoon will never be the same. Remember sitting down with my late Mum and Dad watching these great old time movies. Life was simple and movies where great .😢😢😢
Absolute wonderful Sunday afternoon watching a Will Hay film😂😂
I watched these 3 all the time as a child in the 70s, absolutely awesome days 🇬🇧 😅
My father introduced me to Will Hay, Phil Silvers and The Marx Bros when I was a kid Decades later I still love them.
Absolutely love Will Hay films 👌👍
Only rewatched this last week, then you come along with an even clearer version! Now I'll have to watch it again, poor me.
same here well done on 40.5k subs
Great film and your new series is great
This is the type of movie you could never remake , I don't know how to put it, but it was and still is a crap film, but it's that crap it's good in its self for the time, when people lived a simpler life than today, that's why you couldn't remake it, people wouldn't get it. A simple way of life..
Yes indeed
True simple comedy as it was, and still should be! No foul language, no smut, just clever.
Arnold Ridley (Godfrey from Dad's Army who wrote both the play and co-scripted the film) said this is where Dad's Army came from, and he always felt slighted that Perry and Croft NEVER acknowledged it.....the bumbling slightly incompetent captain (Mainwaring), the old codger (cpl Jones) and the lazy impertinent boy (walker - not pike)...watch how Hay acts and you can really see Mainwaring !
for those (like me) old enough to remember the interview was on 'Pebble Mill at One' !!! happy days !!
He also wrote the ghost train if I remember rightly. Another good film.
@@swanseamale47 This film was loosely based on the the Ghost Train but was not written by Ridley. This was actually written by Orton, Edgar and Guest.
Getting films mixed up ridley wrote the play the ghost train and sold the rights for a pittance. Oh Mr porter was not written by ridley at all. Sorry
RIP Gladstone. She was apparently not ready for another 90 years
Many years ago I bought the Will Hay box set. Love them all. 👍🏆🇬🇧
watche dthis 1 million times
cheeeers for the uplaod
Love these films a more innocent time in British cinema
As to be one of the best comedy films ever made😊😮😊
Absolutely love ALL the Will Hay and company films, but this one has to be my favourite! Thank you.
Clocks forward and back made so much sense to me 😂😂😂
So glad to watch this absolute classic!
I love these old films.
The irony of having been given a station master's post at a station so remote, you have to take the bus to get within two miles of it and walk.
Imagine building a park and ride nobody can get too, ohh hang on we did that this year 😁, the world is an odd place
Thanks Tom, You certainly haven't wasted your time.
that’s the telly viewing sorted for tonight thanks tom 👍
A true legend Mr Hay. The old man is so funny as well. Your wasting your time! 🤣😂🤣😂🏆👍🏆
British comedy at its finest even in black and white it’s still entertaining and funny
Great quality here. Love to see colourised too.
Oh my! That fall at 3:05 looked painful.
I’ve got Will Hay box set I love ask a policeman
Great thanks ❤
Get me another beer and I'll show you another trick
Alton to Basingstoke via Cliddesden..ah what a lovely journey that must have been
Wonderful!🚂
Love it.
Got mixed up. Thought this was The Ghost Train film with Arthur Askey. How could I have forgotten Will Hay!! 😂
Excellent, thank you
This upscaling and AI or whatever is really impressive.
This is a great film, and I'm a fan of Will.
Many thanks for the time and effort This must take.
Your work is appreciated my friend.
What can I say excellent movie was walking my dog when this came .Will look properly.. if the next trsin hasn't gone.😂😂
You're wasting your time..................
You waste yours I'll waste mine....I think.🤣🤣
Superb quality upload
all the old comaday films from this era were great , the titfeild thunderbolt being one o ma faves , not forgetin the carry on movies plus St trinians Norman Wisdom etc , you would not be able ti call it that now though , to many busy bodies who like ti try an tell us how ti think but we can still have a good laugh at them , aye !
What a great film something to make you laugh for a change 😂😂
Oh Dr Beeching's opening theme was clearly a reference to this film's.
Oh funny film remember that funny!? When people laughed and giggled ??seems so strange nowadays where film just offer violence,sex ,killings etc..i feel sorry for the kids of today who've missed comedy like this and other great british comedy and american Saturday matinee"s i feel lucky ive got those funnies in my memory bank.lol.thank you for sharing this film.. cheer's..
Hi I subscribed your channel hopiing more and more British movies with 4K quality films.
fabulous. I had a 200ft super8 mm condensed version of this when i was a kid. top ten movie without doubt
I have a few Will Hay films on Super 8mm but nothing to play them on unfortunately
A gem from a more innocent age.
hilarious
Those two actors take a real pearler of a fall of the platform at 3:06 .
@Deano4322 there's moments like that throughout the film. In one scene Hay nearly got run over by Gladatone as the man tasked with warning him thought they'd finished filming. That was the take used in thr film. No such thing as health and safety then 😆
@@BuggleskellyStationand budgets were tight , very few retakes
Thankfuly no dreadful colouration !
and excellent 1080p print
back when you could still drink on the job at 90 years of age! the good old days
"BRAVO" 👋👍.
Still very funny after all these years.
Thankyou so much ..Never tire of Will and the gang ..Any chance of posting the Ghost of St Micheals .? Would love to see it again ..
This has the same theme as Oh Doctor Beeching! Brilliant!
Yep, but they are both based on the original Music Hall Song 'Oh Mr Porter'
@@BuggleskellyStation This films title was taken from the Music Hall song and that is the the song that opens the credits of the film. The story itself is an adaptation of the Ghost Train story but it's been adapted to feature three men who work at the station as opposed to a group of passengers who get stranded at a haunted station.
Love this movie so much, would be very nice if it could be colourised ..
Theres some bad AI colourised versions on UA-cam but don't bother, the colours are so wrong I couldn't watch them.
Why would you colourise a classic, got to be something wrong with you if you want that.
Plz colourize and do a slide-show video, mate, of the famous B & W photographs of famed Yankee photographer Ansel Adams. Adding colour would be a banger!
@@lizlawrence4553why wouldn’t you? You could still see the black and white version if you don’t like it
Please do not colour this film , leave as is thanks
Check out that rail track it's weed free
Oh yes baby
Alton to Basingstoke railway
I worked at Basingstoke Stn for years. Used to despatch trains from platform 1a ( Salisbury) this was the departure platform for the Alton light railway.
Great old movies back when they were comedians not like theses days
Ps Great fun film with action !!
Whats a what😂
32 min in
Referring to the bunting -
What's "relief for Mafeking " mean ? 😊
Ps think I've heard this mentioned in a Gerald Durrel book & and Round the Horne.
The Seige of Mafeking took place during the Boer War (1901 from memory?), the joke being that's the last time Gladstone was decorated
@@BuggleskellyStation
Wow!
Thank you !!
I had googled it & found nothing !
However, I don't really get the joke & what is meant by the word "relief" In this context ? 😊
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 it just means the celebration when the seige was over. The city of Mafeking was relieved.
@@BuggleskellyStation
👍
Not 4k though!
Read the description...
Is this going to be any better quality than my dvd?
It's ripped from VHS then upscaled to 4K. Should be better than DVD
@@BuggleskellyStation is there any way it could be properly 4k remastered?
@Beaglington only with an original print. The BFI have one, and the National Railway Museum were funding a 2K restoration about 10 years ago but nothing seems to have come of it.
@BuggleskellyStation is there any way we could get a 4k version with AI aided colourisation from an original print?
@@Beaglington I hope not. AI colourising is dreadful.
Looks no different from vhs copy
@@doodemog it's upscaled from a 1080p DVD copy (see description). You won't get any better without a scan of the original film.
