And No attempt at insulting us who live in Norfolk or Norwich. My Wife and Sister were most impressed with that. Can't tell you what a wonderful woman she is!
Never new Tim Brooke Taylor was so good until I saw the hospital visitor routine. He was brilliant! So lucky these priceless shows have not been presented by people who stretch everything to 16:9! Respect!
@@reenarawat5537 Yesss same 🤣(well, I remember it from all of those to be fair.) Sir Digby Chicken Caesar was my favourite thing from That Mitchell and Webb Look, but it's all bloody brilliant!
I've never seen an entire cast come so close to completely losing it on-air than the Plainclothes Police Woman sketch. Priceless! I'm so glad this episode escaped the BBC purges.
There's a copy of the script for this show online. The original names in the plain clothes policeman sketch were Elsie (Graham) and Carmen (Marty). John was still Doris.
He was the first to get his own show . ‘It’s Marty’ started on BBC 2 in 1968. He took Tim Brooke Taylor with him. Python started the next year 1969 , which was a combination of the ‘1948 Show’ and ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’
This brings back fond memories, I had a thing about Amie Mcdonald back in those days, the original dumb blond but so very cute.....I wonder what she's doing these days if in fact she's still alive... Does anybody out there know ?.
The BBC purges wouldn't have affected it, It was an ITV show. Wow, Mary Maude was stunning. She seems to appear more in this episode than the others, but she was still tragically under-used. Great shame she didn't appear on TV more.
I hate to break it to some of you but this is not in fact Episode 4 of At Last the 1948 Show. It isn't even a proper episode but a compilation of sketches from the show. The only negative about this is how the DVD this compilation is from hasn't bothered to state the fact that this is merely a compilation. The original episodes these sketches are from are: John in Bath (Series 1, Episode 2) The Four Sydney Lotterbys (Series 1, Episode 2) Visitors for the Use of… (Series 1, Episode 3) Sleep Starvation (Series 1, Episode 3) Mice Laugh Softly, Charlotte (Series 1, Episode 3) Plain Clothes Police(wo)men (Series 1, Episode 4)
How did The Lovely Aimi MacDonald's quest to become a very wealthy woman work out? I'd have contributed had I the wherewithal to do so but in 1967 I was only a youngster having turned 8 in December, 1966. It was a very deserving and worthy cause.
"Featuring rugged, husky Marty Feldman as 'Rock Thunderclap." LMFAO YESSSS
"Yes, but I'm not a fanatic about it!" XD
The Sidney Lotterby sketch is incredible that they can all get as close as they can with their voices to one singular voice
Sydney Lotterby was a BBC TV producer
And No attempt at insulting us who live in Norfolk or Norwich.
My Wife and Sister were most impressed with that.

Respect!
The hospital visitor - one of the greatest British comedy sketches of all time!
Yesss I agree Tim is so good
I was so sorry for Bill Oddie in this sketch - I'd feel for him when he had to duck as Tim's arm would flail forth!
*knew
Bill as Kowalski in the Mice Laugh Softly Charlotte episode!
I think the best bit is the robotic hospital visitor.
I love Graham Chapman's deep voice when saying "Philipa"
The Aimi MacDonald sketch bridges were definitely a precursor of Gold Hawn's on Laugh-In.
The automatic visitor sketch is incredible.
And the first appearance of Bill Oddie.
The music @ 0:07-0:25 was in Monty Python’s Flying Circus when the English pantomime horse chased the Russian pantomime horse
And when the spanish inqusition got on the bus to get to the court in time.
"Nobody expects th- Oh, bugger!"
I remember it from the *Sir Digby Chicken Caesar* sequence.

That was great.
This was a Rediffusion show (ITV), not BBC
Christine Harrelson he bbp
Marty with his English Rose complexion!
And adorable little nose@@HaFannyHa
13:47 I started crying hahahaha they were brilliant
~08:00 that's some awesome acting
A mad precursor to Monty Python.
Some utterly gorgeous eye candy here too,it has to be said!
even thought it was long ago, they are STILL beautiful! X3
@@wolfyboy Mary Maude simply gorgeous!
Samantha is the best!
Yes, Tim Brooke-Taylor was absolutely adorable😍!
Quite, those policewomen have got me barmy!

That's awesome!
Was that an uncredited Bill Oddie as the hospital patient -sure looks like him!
that's what I think too! Sounds very much like him as well.
It was, and he also played Kowalski in the Mice Laugh Softly Charlotte episode.
ah this was absolutely brilliant
I love the violence in the police sketch!
I wonder why Marty Feldman did not become a cast member on Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Well, he got the bleeding big head then, din't he?
He was then employed as a TV scriptwriter by American TV shows.
Nothing to do with the size of his skull
He was the first to get his own show . ‘It’s Marty’ started on BBC 2 in 1968. He took Tim Brooke Taylor with him. Python started the next year 1969 , which was a combination of the ‘1948 Show’ and ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’
Oh dear, that is so good!
Bill Oddie...
Eric Idle's 2nd cameo in the 1948 Show 00:41
Bill Oddie looks different without the beard.
Mr Pest!!❤
still good stuff
This brings back fond memories, I had a thing about Amie Mcdonald back in
those days, the original dumb blond but so very cute.....I wonder what she's
doing these days if in fact she's still alive... Does anybody out there know ?.

That's a mystery that may never be solved. If only there was a way to easily look up basic info' about famous people on the internet 🤔
She’s still alive aged 81 (2023)

It was Frosts production company who did it. At least in interviews they blame it on it.
@@5Andysalive Rediffusion.
I think the Sidney Lotterby sketch was rewritten into the Bruce's sketch.
3:01 Eric Idle again
And Bill Oddie's in this ep, uncredited.
too funny
Spine-Nibbling !
Thames should have kept this program after Rediffusion lost its franchise, particularly before the Friday handover to LWT.
That policewoman sketch is probably one of the examples that a punchline can be far less funnier than the whole sketch.
Yes and no- the punch line wasnt terrible. Tim is never terrible!
So is Tim Brooke-Taylor the Pete Best of the Pythons or something?
No, he found fame with Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden as one of The Goodies, highly successful throughout the 1970s.
@@MirlitronOne Are the Goodies the Stones to the Python's Beatles?
@@burgersoft777 No, the the Goodies were the Benny Hills to the Ripping Yarns' Pythons. Or something. :-)
Or John Cleese is the Pete Best of the Goodies.
Check out the BBC radio show 'I'm sorry I'll read that again'. John Cleese, Tim Brooke Taylor, Bill Oddie amongst some other very funny people.

I know someone who looks stunningly similar to Marty Feldman.

monty Python, before monty Python. I think, in a way it was better.
Cleese/Chapman were one of the major pillars of Monty Python and you can see their collaboration developing here
Very Peter cook, What !
tim brooke-taylor, john cleese, and (possibly) graham chapman were cook fans!
