I would've broken every bone in my hand slamming money on the counter of my local HMV had I seen Michelle Ryan on the cover of that EastEnders tape back in the day
I would imagine you do this channel for the love of your creative commentary, but you really do deserve the bonus of many more subcribers. Youre so good at this. You bring so much nostalgia whilst ripping it to shreds to superbly. Well done Sir, you absolutely rock.
if you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, do not, we understand that jack duckworth will be singing "the wind beneath my wings". that's gonna put some butts in the seats
This whole debacle was genuinely rescued by a classic Les Dennis 'I don't really knooow!". And just to prove that my Mastermind chosen subject would be Noel's House Party, I noticed that the theme music was the same tune used as the sting for the ropey and unstable NHP series 5 game Beat Your Neighbour.
That was a great watch, cheers! I note they didn't put Big Mo on the front of "Slaters in detention", I guess it would have made it look a bit too "specialist video"
You're just too good at this, despite expecting your humour you still manage to sound genuine, I actually thought that was Armando Iannucci and needed to skip back to make sure.
Your observations on physical retail were spot on. I worked for a well known high street music and VHS retailer in the mid 90’s and again in the early 2000’s. Would have to price, mark down, and re-price these sorts of tapes as they always were going into sales and multi buys - particularly around Christmas 🎄 I would always wonder who bought them, why, and if they would actually re-watch them over and over. This is one of your best when it shows where everyone was and where things were at back then. Madness.
I feel that Faith Brown's mighty norks should become part of the Millard Holy Relics, along with Nookie's crossed eyes, Beadle's tiny hand, and Pepe's loose-eyed golliwogs.
There was lots of house party style shows back in the 90s even dame edna got in on the act with ednas neighbour hood watch. 😂 Lots of nightime versions of the big breakfast popped up too, lilly savage had a talk show set in her living room style set with minni bar. Ruby wax's set was in the style of a studio apartment, guess that style was just trending. But I doubt this was her house.
According to Polygram Video publicity material, for only £12.99, you could watch exclusive fifty minutes 'packed with 'wisecracking routines, sketches and songs' from a party of the dregs of the D-List celebrities gathered to listen to Liz Dawn 'singing' and delivering the most dreadful stand up performance ever.
Direct to video releases happened because there were some good ones at one time. This lead to direct to video producers partnering with producers of TV programmes like Granada who made Coronation Street. They had quotas to meet and most people would buy the videos as Christmas presents for others and super fans would buy them for their self. Much like the sitcoms with movie versions of the 1970s and 1980s however unlike On the Buses where they were produced by other companies with a different timeline and a parallel universe to the programme and the sequels for contractual reasons. Some international TV channels are publicly funded and so require some programmes to be produced or filmed in their territory or feature actors from their territory in order to get additional funding. This is why some foreign actors appear in soaps or they film episodes in other countries. The producers pay for an episode to be made in a country and get the soap commissioned with additional funding in that country.
I really enjoyed watching this. God, the soaps are dire, aren't they? There's nothing funny about Coronation Street, it's just bilge. The canned laughter over some Eastenders meltdown was so funny. Has anyone ever really done a shelf sweep in a moment of despair? Just never happens. Did I mention how utterly shit the soaps are?
well, yes, on the whole. however, seeing ena sharples there, reminded me of an outstanding clip you can find on youtube. it's her first appearance on coronation street, and she carries on a dualistic discourse with the woman in the shop. she intermittently asks for items of shopping in between her gossiping about all the salacious news in the street. although it's obviously not oscarworthy, it's just so wholesome and earthy, that she just shines in this performance: th-cam.com/video/PLcTw6ZJxw8/w-d-xo.html
You'd think they'd bung in some Corrie outtakes to make up time, but I'm guessing Liz refused to allow them being released. Though she was happy for people to see her stand up routine. The jokes were bad, but the delivery is unforgivable. First rule of stand up, keep talking until you get to the punchline, then pause for laughs (ideally putting a bit of emphasis on the punchline) her pauses were all over the place. Compare it with Les Dennis, and although his jokes are bad, at least he knows how to tell them. Still this video is still better than the Mr Blobby ones you'd looked at on this channel.
Along with Nookie Bear, it certainly feels that way. Although Jimmy evidently used to tape all his appearances off the telly, and a lot of super rare stuff is only available thanks to him uploading whole shows he was on for 5 minutes to his TH-cam channel.

As of two days ago (October 2nd 2024) there was a VHS copy of this in one of the charity shops in Eccles precinct, Mind if I remember rightly.

I agree 100% here, funnier than when Friday night Channel 4 used to show good comedies.
My favourite channel on TH-cam at the moment . Comedy and nostalgia GOLD
That Elton John had me pissing myself.
The spa sketch was actually not that bad. I can imagine my dad pissing himself at that. Maybe even laughing at it too.
If you EVER manage to locate 'Lynne Perrie's Alternative Workout' on VHS, I would literally sell my grandmother to hear your take on it!
It's my number one Holy Grail. Praying daily it shows up eventually.
if you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, do not, we understand that jack duckworth will be singing "the wind beneath my wings". that's gonna put some butts in the seats
Best reference ever.
"Ugh!"
Superb
Arthur Fowler with canned laughter is magnificent.

Superb ear!
They should do one of those black mirror episodes where you're eternally trapped in a simulation in this
That was a great watch, cheers! I note they didn't put Big Mo on the front of "Slaters in detention", I guess it would have made it look a bit too "specialist video"
Using Les to get on in her career is the only hint of talent Amanda has ever shown.
😂
The Ben Dover reference nearly made do a spit take
You're just too good at this, despite expecting your humour you still manage to sound genuine, I actually thought that was Armando Iannucci and needed to skip back to make sure.
We used to be a proper country.
Man Utd's Lee Sharpe was also in the crowd at Liz's house 😂

i feel so validated by this channel. i thought your uploads were weird back then but everyone thought it was great
this almost feels like a British version of Tim and Eric
Imagine choosing to buy this. Imagine.
I feel like if it was bought at all, it'd have been as a thoughtless gift
My nan used to have this videotape among her collection. I will try to find out whether it was a gift or a personal purchase.
@@MattySadler Your nan is a legend
I actually bought this for myself back in the day. It was £1 in the bargain bucket of a video shop!
Bloody hell I bought this vid as a Christmas present for my ex partners mum! Only cost a quid! Went down like a wet fart in a crowded lift....
I remember seeing the QE2 video in the shops. Mad to think people bought this shite unironically for the RRP

Little Mo Moreland, the 'Roly Poly', was there -she died a few days ago. RIP Mo.
I read the "incurably romantic"album as "incurably roman"
Now I want to see Ken Roache’s Comedy Superhour and The Ross Kemp Laughter Show.
So this is where Maria Bamford got the idea for her Netflix special
Amanda Holden sneaking out window brilliant 😂
Arthur in Eastenders clip was hilarous

Your channel is golddust man, love it

So glad I found your channel :)
Your delivery reminds me of Charlie Brooker :)
You deserve a much much bigger audience Xx
would you consider doing the brookside straight to vhs stuff?
Sure, it is a rich vein.
@@StuartMillard Need lots of Jimmy Corkhill.
My new fave youtube channel! So funny!

The 1990s wasn't a fever dream after all. This actually happened.
xD There needs to be a Liz Dawn DLC for the House Party video game. On second thoughts, maybe not.
I’ve broken the back of surviving half term week so am on a Thursday night Millard-a-thon - excellent!
Great video. Love your delivery.
A friend at school once met Liz Dawn and asked for her autograph. When she assented and was told his name, she said, “How do you spell David?”
This looks like purgatory.
Bill Tarmey could actually sing…it’s a shame that it was the equivalent of K-Tel easy listening albums
lolled at the morphine nightmare line
Incredible.
You'd think they'd bung in some Corrie outtakes to make up time, but I'm guessing Liz refused to allow them being released.
Though she was happy for people to see her stand up routine. The jokes were bad, but the delivery is unforgivable. First rule of stand up, keep talking until you get to the punchline, then pause for laughs (ideally putting a bit of emphasis on the punchline) her pauses were all over the place. Compare it with Les Dennis, and although his jokes are bad, at least he knows how to tell them.
Still this video is still better than the Mr Blobby ones you'd looked at on this channel.
Good old days of depression
Still, she's funnier than some prime time comedians today
Is Jimmy Cricket in everything you cover?
Along with Nookie Bear, it certainly feels that way. Although Jimmy evidently used to tape all his appearances off the telly, and a lot of super rare stuff is only available thanks to him uploading whole shows he was on for 5 minutes to his TH-cam channel.
Was this before or after ghostwatch? If ghostwatch had to be banned surely this should too.
Back when Corrie was good
That's a snooker table, not a pool table.
Larry David definitely saw this.
Van Morrison at 18:52?
When is Craig’s house party?
11:27 A time travelling Alice Lowe
Why has she got a giant dog kemnel stuck on the front of her house?
13:25 Timestamping for for repeat watches. I'm in bits.
Is her husband called Don Dawn?
