I like to think had the Nazarene seen the film himself, he would laugh knowingly, say something to the effect of “Yeah, there were a lot of people who said that at the time.” and kissed everyone who left the theater and reminded them to Love G-d and their neighbor as themselves.
At the end of episode three, the serving hatch door falls on Bob's left hand. At the start of episode four, he's got the fingers of his right hand bandaged.
There's #ThiKindofThing #AllOVERtheWorld !💁🌐🌍🌎🌏🏡🏘🏘🏠🏠🏠#LittleBoxes !Little boxes ! 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏡 and they've all made out of #digitally and they all Look #JUSTtheSAME !💁
It's geet canny like, the theme tune lyrics are so appropriate. Remember the slum clearances as a kid. Was good to have a sitcom from the true north of England, just the lack of Geordie/ Mackem twang
Listening to the hypocrite Malcolm Muggeridge spilling out his bs is hilarious. If you think he was a devout Christian, he was actually a sexual pervert
i think the film made fun of the followers, and the tendency for people to follow anyone, and that demigrated religion, and belittled religiosity, making them like groupies and Jesus just another bloke being chosen like Brian. I think this is why the priests felt affronted. the followers were but of the joke, ie the priests too.
Seeing this again confirms my opinion that it was tripe then, and that remains unaltered. Both of main protagonists type-cast themselves. Neither were able to be other than themselves.
This brought back a whole lot of buried memories until now. remember watching this as a 16-year-old in 1972. Loved the decor of the day, and the comments LOL, especially the schoolgirl fantasy...this would have had the politically correct snowflakes up in arms if this was today.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
A timeless British classic. Needs to be bought back.

Get over it Vicar, your lot have been telling the same joke for 2000 years!
The father in law is Bill Owen, Compo from Last of the Summer Wine TV Series
1973-1 million unemployed. 1.44 million people aged 16 and over were unemployed in the UK during April to June 2024 .
Made in a time that TV programmes were made with professional actors.
At the end of episode three, the serving hatch door falls on Bob's left hand. At the start of episode four, he's got the fingers of his right hand bandaged.
Wish it had a third series
You are the messiah, my lord, and I should know, I've followed a few.
I don't like Bob. Terry makes up for that though.
James Bolam - fabulous actor and made this programme for me.
One of a very few comedy’s that hasn’t aged at all 🤣
Kind of ironic that the most played song at British funerals is “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” instead of some Christian hymn.
watching again in 2024. Best of British.
Yeah me too...one episode a night...great stuff !!
What a laugh to have married in 1969 !💁 Hahaha 💋thahahahahahaha

"You've never liked Thelma have you"- Terry wasnt the only one.....She was awful.
Absolutely hated this.
No hiding place is one of the greatest comedy episodes of all time.
Merci, gracias, thank's...........Love !
A British friend of mine introduced me this old tv show. This is a very good way to learn about British humour.

Great to see Linda Preston (Deidre Costello) of 'I didn't know you cared ' fame ,in a small part .
Strange, I've known Cleese and Palin my whole life, who are the old guys?
@8:35 The way Terry is all shadowed, and then right after he calls Bob a b****rd, the lights go on revealing his angry face. So perfect!
Stockwood and Muggeridge's accents are so posh, they could convince Prince Phillip that he was an immigrant.
I’d rather laugh with the sinners, than cry with these two idiots that hide behind the “cloth.”
Just watched the movie for the first time, because of this video. I was laughing to the point of tears.

RIP Thelma (Brigit Forsyth) aged 83 😢
Bfpo 14 is in Canada. I need to get out more 😂😂😂
Finally! A full version of this interview with comments allowed. Thanks mate.
Tv gold.

"You're right Malcome. I mean 400 years ago we would have been burnt for this film..... now.. I'm suggesting that we have made an advance"
Yes! 3 hours too! 👍👍
