Wonderful. So good to see this again.
One Man Wrestling is so good X'D
Interesting that it is almost identical to the Monty Python version.
@@paraumbrella61764 Except it's missing Cleese's color commentary, which elevated it, IMO. Also, the character isn't named Colin "Bomber" Harris here.
Legit, I was super impressed with Graham's physical comedy. Really amazing.
There are actors who develop whole careers around a look, be it a grimace or a smile...Marty Feldman has you cracking up the moment you see his eyes. Always a comedic treasure in whatever movie or tv show he appeared on.
Imagine if Marty had joined Monty Python.
At 6:05... the words "And now for something completely different:" !!!
A man with nine legs
@@AlanPalgut A man with a tea kettle in his ears.
@Alan Palgut He ran away!
Oh bloody hell. A Scotsman on a Horse!
Marty Feldman is such a great physical performer, especially shown in "There's a Man in My Soup". His body movements are spectacularly funny. What's very surprising is how Feldman never performed prior to At Last the 1948 Show, being exclusively a writer. The fact that he is such an amazing performer in this episode and yet, this is the first time he has done such a thing, simply is beyond me.
I just realized she said, “and now for something completely different!”
This is the big one! Never before has the screen had such scenes of searing action! Never before such a star-studded cast!
Tempestous Tim Brooke-Taylor in the role of a lifetime! You loved with him in Sound of Budapest! You rode with him in Desert Tigers! You fought with him in Old Vienna!
Why can't you leave me alone?
Enigmatic Graham Chapman at his most enigmatic as Captain Tab Bootgroper!
Indians?!
Introducing enchanting child star Marty Feldman as the sinister Count Mollusk!
My Lord, have I got news for you.
Vivacious John Cleese and his fire-eating headwind as the eminent power-seeking QC Sir Abbacut Vulture-Pant!
Where were you on the evening of the 14th of July?
Why?
Well, I waited a whole night for you and you never came home!
From the pages of Leo de Groot's great classic A Better Life through Herbal Tobacco, Rediffusion presents… At Last The 1948 Show!
Marty Feldman was simply smashing in "This Week". A pity Tim Brooke-Taylor didn't go on with the Monty Python group later although he went on to other things around the Time Monty Python got going. Tim left us last year. Cleese and Chapman were getting warmed up back then in 1967.
I never thought they began this early.... and I had the opportunity to see them in 1990, after the Fall of the Wall!
Nice to finally have a visual reference for the "Secret Service" sketch after years of merely _hearing_ it via MONTY PYTHON LIVE AT DRURY LANE (now if only we could see the "Cocktail Bar" sketch from that album as well).
Unfortunately, the Cocktail Bar sketch is not from At Last the 1948 Show but Monty Python's Flying Circus itself. It was originally going to appear in Series 3, Episode 10 (E. Henry Thripshaw's Disease) but was cut from the episode by the prudish BBC, as well as the sketches "Wee Wee Wine Cellar", "Big-Nosed Sculpture" and "Half a Bee". No attempts to find the visual sketch have ended in success, however, photographs of the original shooting were found.
@@OtisNotibrus Yes, I'm well-versed in these matters. I was hoping at least one - if not all - of the above-mentioned sketches would've made it onto the Blu-ray set released a couple years ago, but it was not to be... though I'm even more disappointed the the 2 German episodes and the May Day '71 segment weren't also included.
"Introducing enchanting child star...Marty Feldman." LMFAO!!!! I can't. Also do we have any idea who the announcer voice dude was? He adds so much to these silly intros. "This is the big one..."
Announcer's name is Barry Cryer, a stalwart of British comedy as a writer, actor, panel show host and panellist himself.
@@cybersoul1161 OMG I love Barry Cryer! I had no idea it was him though. Thanks so much.
Thank you for uploading these diamonds.

So this was the like beginnings of Monty Pythons Flying Circus
Great stuffff!
16:40 with CC
This show was lost for years and thought wiped
Martin Feldman more or less uses the same Jewish vampire gag as seen in the film The Fearless Vampire Killers also from 1967.
lovely high resolution copy - any chance of fixing the aspect ratio?
Thanks for these. It's a shame that the aspect ratio is wrong...
It's no worse than 16:9
Agree. It completely ruins it for me. The sound is bad too. How can the poster get it all so wrong.
The aspect ratio is correct for the device or was intended for. Your phone or computer is the wrong ratio for the material. And the sound is absolute fine, especially for the year - I should know, I'm an audio professional. For goodness sake.
@@joelonsdale It's nothing to do with what the material is viewed on. This is an attempt to convert a 4:3 video to 16:9 that went wrong and butchered a classic television program - I should know, I'm a retired broadcast television technician that worked in the industry for 45 years. For goodness sake.
@@preschau Gotcha, apologies.
Careful with the stiff Johnny.
