Of course it is, TV is just junk now.... Feels like a cultural dark age. I'm constantly amazed at the stuff from the 70s, 80s and 90s that I discover. I wonder when the BBC, ITV etc stopped bothering to actually provide quality output. BBC doesn't deserve public funding anymore.
I can't believe that I watched this as a child and find that I'm now ten years older than Diana Coupland was when she starred in this. That's hard to get my head around. Sally Geeson is as beautiful as I remember her. I had a crush on her even when I was eight years old. She's now 71. Incredible.
I was 20 when this episode was aired in 1976, sadly Diana and Sid are no longer with us, Robin Stewart (Mike) had also died, a few others in this were also dead.
It is believe me it has changed so much and not for the better either we got dumped with immigration by force not by choice and it annoys me when they say “london is multicultural “ and it is but we didn’t have a choice the government just let it happen then they moan about being discriminated etc like it was their choice to come here and take all our work and money away from us so what do they expect
Evan AB You are absolutely right as it ran for five years from 1971 to 1976 . How time flies. Sid James died when I was 5 he died aged 62 on stage in front of an audience in April 1976. What a very sad loss to comedy but he will never be forgotten. Love from the UK ❤️🙏👍

Political correctness is ignorance masked in manners, the outrage mob seem to find it inconceivable that those they feel obliged to defend are capable of their own jokes too, as if gay and black people haven't their own jokes about straights and whites, I'm sure the writers of such material didn't think it was all one way traffic and gave more credit to those who were the butt of their jokes than those who take offense which is probably why they thought nothing of writing them, it wasn't out of ignorance it was out of an awareness that the offended shield themselves from and in turn leap to the defence of out of guilt of their own actual ignorance
Why can't they make shows like this anymore, so great to see, growing up we had the bless this house movie on video and watched it, till it wore out. Great show, thanks for uploading! 😊😎👍🎬🎥📺
Because they are stupid due to two grown up kids were still at home, plus that silly daughter irritated me calling her parents mummy and daddy - that’s why.

@@selenaannesmith1604 yes sorry I got a little confused because it is a different actor who plays him in the movie so when I say this i was like where did her brother go and how come her boyfriend wasn’t in the movie
Agree. I didn’t mind it but for me, it would never have been in my top 5 English tv comedies (On the Buses, Porridge, Open all Hours, AYBS, Yes Minister etc). Although my dad loved it and at the time I certainly watched it.
@@paulcorbin7495 Just because I don't like this terrible show? I love plenty of comedies from this era, Dad's Army, On The Buses, Love Thy Neighbour, Steptoe And Son, Till Death Us Do Part. This just isn't in the same league as any of those.
The British comedy series were by far the best in the world. Even in Germany and The Netherlands we could not wait for the next novelty on TV.
brilliant comedy back then ,all of them .Great Times, wish I could go back to those days .
Grown up daughter calling her mother “mummy” something wrong don’t you think?.
@@jacksugden8190m😅

I agree 😊 Much better times.
Everyone's so angry these days.
The Queen used to call her mother “Mummy” up until her mother died in 2002 the Queen was 75 at that time
Love this show in the 70s it's so innocent!!
My children sat and watched bless this house the other week
Now they love the series.. and said it’s better than today’s rubbish on tv 📺
absolutely bro
Kids got great taste. bless this house love it too still funny

@@jacksugden8190 I was just 5 when it was screened . Sally is the only remaining survivor from this.
Yes, it's astonishing how we all age 🥱🙄🤡
God bless them all so sad dear Sally is the only one still with us such happy memories
She really is an English rose, love this series♥️
Loved this show when l was a kid ...UK has been transformed since these days .London is like a foreign country now
I was living at Brentwood in Essex in 1976 when this aired, I was 20, unsure about London then, but now living in London is another planet.

So much better than the political correctness crap on TV now
TV nowadays is dead. All reality/cooking shows and garbage. I'm happy to stick with classics like this. More entertaining too.
I agree with you!!!!!🙂

Poor Sid. This was comedy,
Poor me who watched this back in 1976
In the late sevenities my dad and my big brother used to watch Thames on 9
Really enjoyed this episode. TY for uploading.
Had a crush on Sally lol😍
I couldn’t stick her, she was dowdy and overpowering.

Shame she can't act.

sid james rip
+ Diana Coupland RIP
Good ole days
Lovely episode
Long time since ive watched this.love the clothes his daughter wears.
They sure were
They’ll never be another Sid - he was unique..
I only watch this for Sally Geeson
I only watch this for Diana Coupland
I only watch this for Trevor.
I only watch this for the budgie

😆😆😆🤭
🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
I only watch it because it's funny.
Please upload more episodes 🙏
Diana coupland ❤️
Yes.
👍🏻
She was also “the bird up on my bike” as we do the ton for kicks!
I like Sally Gleason cor
The first episode was in black & white due to the colour strike!
It always struck me how unbelievable the 'mumsywumsy' plumby Geeson was supposed to be their kid when neither Sid or Jean were remotely posh-speaking
You'll get over it.
Perhaps the parents sent her to a school on the other side of the tracks!
the brother was the worse
Well have you thought of it like this maybe they sent her to a posh speaking school 😂
@@deekaye25
Yes, definitely
🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
Dont ever wish that, you would be hugely dissapointed.
I'd be disappointed with that spelling.
Used to watch this, never worked out why two grown up children hadn’t flown the nest and had their own places.
Because they were both teen to early twenties. They were obviously older actors.

This is awful, didn't laugh once. Looks like this is what you get when Sid James isn't riding on the coattails of Tony Hancock or Kenneth Williams.

Rather "Forced" comedy....not very funny, and rather an obvious ending....🙄
Genius
Looking back, it seemed funny back then... but, it's not funny at all now. Awful.
