I was on a school and trip and some schoolfriends and I entered a chemist on the Isle of Wight and there was Dick Emery, I was overjoyed and luckily I had a pen and notebook on hand with me and Dick Emery was so kind and obliging to give me an autograph. I have never forgotten that and he was one of my favourite comedians, a great talent!
Hi Lynette...my Dad met him in a hotel in Cork, Ireland and he kindly gave an autograph for my Dad's friends ypungest Daughter.....reminded my Dad just earlier afore I read your comment. Dad couldnt believe it was over 50 years ago.. God Bless...
this show and the music gives me a nice warm feeling reminds me of been a kid at my grandmas house and me playing with my toys while this was on in the background and my gran and grandad sat watching tv great memories
Totally agree with that. Used to watch at my Grand Parents, after Starsky and Hutch and Match of the Day eating my corn flakes with hot milk. Action man and airfix kits on the living room table!
Totally agree. The PC brigade have put paid to that, I don't think the BBC know what the word "Comedy" means. Bring back the seventies for me anytime when British comedy was at its best. Prefer to watch repeats anytime. Just bought Likely lads and Faulty Towers DVD box sets even though I have them seen dozens of times before.
My grandad met Dick Emery in Bournemouth. Told me he was a lovely bloke. Always used to watch his shows. Looking back on them, he was well ahead of the other comedians of the time. Although I did like Charlie Drake, as a kid as well and of course, Harry Worth. Not forgetting Morcom and Wise. Thinking about it, they were all absolutely brilliant. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
This man was a genius in a time of brilliant comedy shows. BBC had an embarrassment of riches. Dick Emery was absolutely brilliant amongst all those riches.
Great memories of watching tv at my grandmothers on a Saturday night after Match of the Day. Never offensive or any swearing needed for a laugh as great script writing and acting. Scene with the undertakers a great laugh, I know DE was actually a biker in real life. Great times, even suitable for youngsters. When Saturday night tv was worth watching, after Grandstand, Doctor Who, Generation Game, Starsky and Hutch, Match of the Day and Dick Emery. Absolute heaven for a ten year old.
As an American I had never heard of Mr Emery before, most of the sketches here are quite hilarious, though a few are head scratchers. The railway stationmaster....all those characters, with their twists and turns, but the "punchline", excellent.
I lived in the UK for year 1972-1973. I watched Dick Emery faithfully. This man was a comedic genius. The other two greats are Benny Hill and Stanley Baxter. Check them out.
I had not seen any of these! Priceless, and very original. We need a return to this brilliantly written and acted comedy. Update: Had seen the last sketch, which is more in line with what I remembered Dick for. Brilliant!
He said in parkinson that a real biker told him to stop doing that character. He asked the biker why. The biker told him’ cause youre giving us a bad image’🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So much better than most of today's comedians whose repertoire consists of swearing, talking about their sex life and mocking anyone who has different political opinions to them.
Londonfogey --- Nonsense, everyone fondly remembers stuff from their youth, this is terrible comedy compared with todays more intelligent satirical humour. Childish rubbish for people with a small outlook on the world.
Funnier than his legacy~i think he got taken for granted in the sunny 1960-1970s when comic genius seemed to abound.. The other one no-one talks about is Charles Hawtry from the Carry On films
Great stuff...makes you appreciate what we had back then. Today...what a lot of rubbish. Real comedy died years ago,but this will do for the time being ha ha?
Absolute Classics! Some of the sketches wouldn’t be allowed in today’s crazy politically correct world! It just highlights the fact that over 40 years ago, British people didn’t complain OR get upset over certain comedy shows….but here we are in the 2020’s and people are literally wetting themselves to complain about ANYTHING, whether it actually upsets them or not, just so they think they are rebellious! Dick Emery was obviously ahead of his time, with his numerous bizarre characters and his ‘near the knuckle’ lines! Happy days!
A great series, and so funny,....wonderful times,before the PC Brigade came and totally destroyed British comedy, and the freedom of expression....comedy on .telly today is so dull, and unfunny,....miss the good old days of uncensored and witty , hilarious comedy
The lady in the blue coat and black glasses with her husband played a butcher in George & Mildred. A lot of these actors had parts on that show, like the father of that dimwitted son. He wore this sort of a bumble bee striped hat, and Mildred absolutely abhorred him. Also, that lady played the girlfriend of Queenie's son in an episode of Queenie's Castle.
Dick Emery would not get on the TV in this day and age, due to the woke brigade. I thought he was great, and his humour gave me a lot of laughs and still does.

EVEN 36years after his death in 1983 his talent STILL stacks up. One of the Greats.

Isle of Wight, probably he was there for the motorcycle race.
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 That's the Isle of Man where the motorcycle races are held.
This man was a genius. His characters are so fantastic. Watched him as a child and forgot How brillant he was.
Dick Emery was fantastic at this he was a breath of comedy genius back then there wasn’t anybody like him we are not amused
Rest in peace Dick. Thankyou for all you did that made us laugh. You never used bad language.
In an era when the whole family watched this. Stanley Baxter , thora Hurd etc, legends
In the very first sketch "dad", the great Roy Kinnear, is in fact 20 years younger than Dick Emery!
Still makes me chuckle all these years later.
this show and the music gives me a nice warm feeling reminds me of been a kid at my grandmas house and me playing with my toys while this was on in the background and my gran and grandad sat watching tv great memories
yeah man me too

@@timcolder2789 me to I spent hours putting air fix models together ✈and always took my action man🪂 to my grandma's house 👵🏘great memories 👍
Dick Emery was a Genius and by all accounts a really nice bloke too!
Dick Emery followed by Steptoe & Son,what a great time for good comedy,unlike the crap they serve up as comedy today.
100% right macca
@@johnevans191 and then a bit of benny hill
@@skipraida5497 Absolutely Right ! 👍👍
In fact ! What comedy have they got today ? what's worth watching ?, licence fee goes up again ( I don't pay ) what for there's nothing on !

I'd forgotten how brilliant Dick Emery was - genius
Thanks for posting this. I love Dick Emery. He was so EXCELLENT!!!
a first class actor and they are all a good team,so refreshing to look at the vehicles in it collectors pieces now what!
So much talent, a real classic the good years of TV back then
One of the best comedians ever.
I'd forgotten just how innocent my childhood days were
Saw Dick Emery in his live show on two occasions He was Fantastic! A real entertainer.
Wish they show more on tv nowdays..
Best comedy ever..
I Remember watching Dick Emery in the 70's, what lassic show. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful. DE had more talent in his little toe than today's celebrities - what a cockamamie word - have in their whole body.
I love the honesty from the son as always.
Was cool to see Helen Fraser in the football sketch. I am always reminded of her in Bad Girls.
Absolutely creasing up!! Fabulous, clean fun, with maybe just a bit of double entendres!
Love him!!

one of the rare times you can use the word,LEGEND..
Who does comedy like this now?
That's right. Nobody
GOTO WESTMINSTER ITS FULL OF COMEDIANS😱
good god wasn't he great , no other could match him , I so loved his comedy , irishman pat .
The magic classic comedy; Dick Emery was a one-off!
I remember this railway sketch every single time I've been on a train since I saw it as a little child.

Jimll fix it too alas but there was parkinson
Then too
I wish that they played repeats of DE today, it's much better than the crap which masquerades as comedy these days.
Plenty of excellent comedy today.

Grew up in the 1970s, the humour was funny because it wasn't Politically Correct.
Yes. Dicks masterful seduction of the busty hiker girl in the blue tee shirt at 20 mins would not be allowed today.@@countofdownable
The deranged stationmaster was excellent. Used to watch this with my grandparents in 70s.
Real entertainment unlike the mocking superficial rubbish you get today
I can't agree with you completely there, I love Mrs Brown's Boys
@@LyndaCoulson64 yeh Mrs browns boys is quite funny i used to love vic reeves aswrell
I feel sorry for today's generation that hasn't heard of his genius, over 40 years dead and still so very entertaining...
Yawn... Oh and I don't mean this video.
@@LyndaCoulson64 oh yes l find Mrs Brown 's boys hilarious
Great show takes me back to the good old days he was fantastic comedian
Back when we were allowed to laugh. Before all this PC woke bullshit started. We need this comedy back.
100% agreed 👍
Spoken like a whiny old brit. Nothing stopping you laughing you just don't get to be a sexist, racist bigot.
I agree
Yep totally 👍💯
Dicke Emery was an artist who practice is psychology without bein offensive.

Very funny. Some Hell's Angels guys came to Ottawa last summer. What acscurvy bunch!
@@marywilliams9858 Yo`d like some hot biker action I`d guess...
Jessie James 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Clare Davenport as the battle axe wife. She always seemed like she'd be good fun at a party.
The station Master just wonderful
Back in those simpler happier days when you could make a joke
Unfortunately these days people seem to be offended by literally anything...Why did things have to change...😔
Today's "comedians" think a foul mouth is a substitute for talent. Bet none of them ever heard of this guy !!
+Graeme Williams sad but true..
Agreed
So true
definetly
Sophia Jood a alesha dixon
Dick Emery was brilliant and a genius

Londonfogey --- Nonsense, everyone fondly remembers stuff from their youth, this is terrible comedy compared with todays more intelligent satirical humour. Childish rubbish for people with a small outlook on the world.
@@Liofa73 but a laughter free zone. I don't even laugh at modern comedy. Is because I don't find it funny.
@@Liofa73 It was deliberately unsophisticated. I have a soft spot for 'childish rubbish', I suppose.
I love British Comedy xxx
I loved watching this.
Funnier than his legacy~i think he got taken for granted in the sunny 1960-1970s when comic genius seemed to abound.. The other one no-one talks about is Charles Hawtry from the Carry On films
Charles Hawtry had a very limited range.
Quite a talent, and influence on so much more that came afterwards, like Little Britain, Come Fly with Me, and the Fast Show.
he was a genius
That was my tea break ........ one of the best ever
The train sketch. Very reminiscent of Reginald Gardeners "trains pt1 and 2 " from the 50s. I have the 78's.
The master at work !
+Trance_World_Artists 2014 Barry Norman once described Brando as "a marvelous actor when he puts his mind to it".He should know.
That woman behind the counter in the first sketch. I have seen her in Fawlty Towers disguised as a guest. :0)
the dustbin sketch is very clever
Great stuff...makes you appreciate what we had back then. Today...what a lot of rubbish. Real comedy died years ago,but this will do for the time being ha ha?
soundnicetome --- If I'm honest I'm glad this shit died out, it was childish rubbish.
@@Liofa73 better than the useless modern comedy. I never laughed once at modern comedy acts
Comic genius ahead of his time
The soldier on the right was in that show about British soldiers in India.
It Ain't Half Hot Mum. Another great British classic.
WOW, lots of old stars....
the roy kinner scetches used to have me in stiches when i was a nipper
Roy Kinnear playing "Dad" in the first sketch, also Henry McGee from Benny hill in the café sketch.
BBC need to show these again as they are better than Mrs Brown rubbish.
tavy: an absolute legend DE. great stuff! ye dont get that today!!
Absolutely brilliant
thank you for posting xxx
VintageLynx,
Thanks for this hilarious show featuring Dick the man of many characters!
Brilliant comedy. There'll never be another like him. No-one is allowed to laugh these days. It might offend someone.
What a star
Way ahead of his time.
Absolute Classics! Some of the sketches wouldn’t be allowed in today’s crazy politically correct world!

He is so good!
The unwrapping service was a treat.
THANK YOU, A THOUSAND TIMES.
Fantastic!
thanks for this
My childhood right here ....he was so funny such simple times
The old woman in this is played by the Actress Claire Davenport
thancks dick for bringing laughter to so many people!!!!!!!! tavy:
Brilliant. All but obliterated from the BBC's memory, mores the pity.
No doubt if it was repeated on bbc some twat would find it somehow offensive
That's because it's not the same BBC nowadays
Loved the last bit :)
First time hearing that opening theme music for a long, long time ....
My favorite sketch was where his wife is playing tennis and he says he is killing her with love. Do you have that sketch?
A great series, and so funny,....wonderful times,before the PC Brigade came and totally destroyed British comedy, and the freedom of expression....comedy on .telly today is so dull, and unfunny,....miss the good old days of uncensored and witty , hilarious comedy
Thank god for TH-cam 🙏🏼
How many stations do we have now???? And not ONE with classics like this
He was great
He was brilliant, wasn’t he 😂
Great sketch with Knowles from Dads Army. Tom, Dick, and Harry. Haaaaa.
forgotten legend
....ah, that's not my bull.....lol
Says originally aired in 1993 but yet he died in 1983...obviously typo. I. remember well watching him - he was awful....but I liked him! 😉
More like 1973.
Did you not see the words "compilation of clips"? 🙄
@@TallSilentGuy I did and remember, these cows are small, but those ones are far away...
I can't stop watching and re-watching The Station Master...
Oh so many memories this brings back, used to love the dick emery show.
