The last five minutes had some proper laugh out loud lines. From dropping the tea tray to take your weight off it then. Brilliant writing and although he’s a selfish thoughtless misanthropic git, I love Terry Collier.
My brother and I used to watch it. Absolutely wonderful sitcom. So many memories. Can't believe it; as kids we used to play on Construction sites and the closing credits reminded me!
Cracking 70s comedy that still raises laughs. I enjoyed it back then and still find it funny. Shame about the offscreen personal issue between Bolam and Bewes though. James Bolam went on to carve out quite a career in tv, but Bewes had disappeared off the screen by the early 80s.
Just how it was in the 70s...brutal but true..the actress who played Susan....Anita Carey is a Halifax girl...she also played the receptionist in Doctors..
They were such a class act together with obviously the brilliant writing thrown in. Sad they seemed to fall out later. James Bolam seemed to want to dissociate himself with what made him famous in the first place. Shame.
@@jujuoliver6959 yes. He really wasn't. I've only just found this out recently and it surprised me but it wasn't anything sinister it was just he didn't seem to get that he wasn't everybody's best friend to the point where it played a big part in why his career nosedived
@@angiemetcalfe7210 arh ok. Well that explains some of it then. Maybe just not one of gang type, some people aren’t. I still think James Bolam was a bit of a prat though. I always remember him saying that apparently the best thing about Newcastle was the train out of there, which was a bit of a slap to the North East considering he initially made his career out of playing a the part he did ha ha. He wasn’t even from Newcastle, he was from Sunderland and I saw later interviews and his accent had changed considerably from his younger days. His wife Susan Jameson allegedly had a child she had adopted from a very early romance when she was started her career, apparently with a well known British 70s actor, now I believe the same person is in an actor’s retirement home, but when Mother and son finally met all those many years later after he tracked her down apparently she was quite cold and later had no interest in meeting him again according to the son’s version of events. I just get this vision of a pair of old snobs, him with ideas of grandeur and she quite a cold woman.

I agree with your comment about the view some lady wrote me something stupid I said I used to like Love Thy Neighbor on the buses and all the comedy pro they were a laugh I said all I told her didn’t tell her I just put a comment she said my comment was stupid but it wasn’t stupid I liked all those programs even Love Thy Neighbor was funny those days on the buses mind about the house if you were my age but the lady wrote a stupid comment that’s why my husband said don’t write no messages I didn’t write to her I just put a comment she said are you being stupidI told her the TV licence is expensive and the old people got to pay now it’s not fair something like that and she wrote a nasty reply
Brilliant comedy. Grew up with it 50 years ago and still find it funny. How times have changed- such striking cultural change.
Even the pints of beer look fantastic
Terry Collier - one of the best comic portrayals on British television

When the BBC made comedy shows we could all LAUGH at
My brother and I used to watch it. Absolutely wonderful sitcom. So many memories. Can't believe it; as kids we used to play on Construction sites and the closing credits reminded me!
" Bob what on earth is the matter with you " ...... " what have i said now what have i said now " . brilliant
One of the best sit coms ever made. Brilliant. Susan was lovely jubly 😝
Anita Carey was a looker in this wasn't she ?
I liked Thelma.

The girl who played Susan was gorgeous...!
Her name was Anita Carey. She was beautiful
She was in 'I didn't know you cared.'
aye she was that , a yorkshire lass from halifax tha nows
A sweet honey bear.
She was very plain looking
Absolute Comedy Gold
Anita Carey - Goddess! Loved her in "I didn't know you cared" with Robin Bailey.
Don’t you want to be a young executive, Carter?
love the curtains same ones as Del Boy only fools and horses check the footage fantastic
Similar. Del's are a larger print.
I’m a Brit that moved to Canada a few years ago... strange seeing this being said about Canada nearly 50 years ago
Absolutely superb.
Have not watched this for a few years. Still good to wa.
Tch.

It's one of the most accurate portrayals of lad culture. In a good way, not the Oasis oaf way.

Lol, my neighbours must think I'm nuts laughing out loud
tremendous thanks for uploading

There was a lot more to it than what Rodney Bewes said. He was very 'Bob ish' irl and wasn't very popular amongst his peers
@@angiemetcalfe7210 do you mean Rodney Bewes wasn’t popular?

Great impression of Joan Hickson's Mrs Chambers by Noel Dyson!

Bolam turned out to be a nasty piece of work!
Why? When did you get to meet and know him irl?
@@garylefeversHe was very unkind to Rodney Bewes who fell on hard times
A tin of ravioli
British comedy at its best.
