''Poor cow'' can be a derogatory expression meaning a girl of loose morals but it can be a general but informal expression for females generally. Notice Terry corrected himself regarding Thelma (who is very straight laced), just to be sure. :) Clever writing.
One of the funniest moments in comedy history the reading of the bands the nervous look on Rodney Bewes face and the look on James Bolam's at the announcement of Robert Andrew Scarborough Ferris is priceless
Love this show very much please can you find any more from the very early episodes the black and white episodes thanks for uploading what you do have be safe stay safe best regards

Scarborough Ferris ??? Where He was Created LOL Was it on the Ferris Wheel at Scarborough haha Reminds me of the song If you go down to Scarborough Fair lLOL Love XX
Why do/did the BBC insist on making their "lower class" comedies so grimy like in Doctor's waiting rooms, Terry's mum's house and train stations in other episodes. I'm old enough to remember it wasn't as bad as that generally even for those areas doing it tough. Dark, dingey and historically well worn and in need of a makeover wasn't necessarily grimy or dirty. Perhaps it's because the production staff are mostly middle upper class...
Bobs second middle name was jolly weird and it was something no, parent in their right mind would call their child scarborough which is stupid as a middle name.
Yes it's funny how often in history comedy has pointed out the defective nature of good christian objective morality, I think it's good that we now have realized {at least some} that it's a socially influenced subjective .
But that’s exactly what it WAS like, especially in the northeast /northwest It’s the comedy of recognition in 1974 , now it’s a salutary reminder of how, in some respects, we’ve moved on.
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 ?"
God Bless you Brits for your excellent comedies!

Only Britain with its class baggage and ridiculous superiority complex could produce such popular culture
@@aldershot5100 Are you English?
We should return the compliment for Frasier and Cheers.
@@paulhollis8879 Thank you, we do hit the mark every now and then.
Probably the greatest EVER comedy on British tv, thanks to all concerned in the making of this series, writers, actors etc
rubbish... it's very good but certainly not the very best EVER
It certainly is in the list of best British comedies ever made ❗
🇬🇧🆓
@@EnosEverything He said "probably" , not certainly ...🤔 .
And what's rubbish about his opinion ❓
@@keithawhosoever5384 probably the worst apologism EVER!
In my opinion...
Well Said, it would never be made today
My dad used to let me stay up to watch The Likely Lads and Till Death Us Do Part when I was a little lad, made me feel grown up 😊😊

Still watching this in 2024.
British comedy at its best.
Lovely stuff.
I like how Terry once described his German wife-'' My entry into Europe ''.
"Oi, you two fairies, OUT" lol, i remember that line when it first aired on BBC1 in 1974.
these two were just brilliant in their respective parts
Simply excellent
Watching this April 2024 great comedy.

Wasn’t Bob’s left hand hurt by the hatch ???
Thought it was Terry's hand.
Yes it’s an error
They both done it. Bob done it at the end of the previous episode. Terry did it at start of that episode
Bob should have apologised to Terry! 🤬

When people laughed at things that weren't actually funny.
That's exactly what happens today, with comedians getting by using foul language and the audiences laughing their empty heads off.
9:26 Kicking people out of a pub on the basis of their sexual orientation as a comedy device is NOT very funny. At least not today!

Have you seen Oliver!? They send children up chimneys to clean them. It's the past. You can watch it without endorsing it.
Was then but by these days have their own bars.
