I love seeing any of these black and white sitcoms from the early 60s. Brings back lots of memories. Keep thinking my mum and dad were sat watching this. Miss them so much.
@@graemekornicki6810 Hope you have the Network Blu-ray of the brilliant spin off movie......with two missing episodes that were discovered since the DVD👍
@@illaveyoubutler3588 no I don't have any blue rays but have the movie on dvd .used to have the BBC single of the theme tune of whatever happened to.its on you tube I believe.
I loved The Likely Lads. Interesting you showed Sheila Fearn ( Audrey ) on the opener. Pity we don’t se her on the box any more. I heard she hurt her back or something. Hope she is doing well.
Yes I noticed Geoffrey Hughes as well. I knew he'd died but I checked to see how long ago. What was more interesting to me was he was 68 and died from prostate cancer. I'm 67 and had my prostate removed in November due to prostate cancer. I had the results of my blood tests yesterday and it's all clear for now. It does focus the mind a bit. Whilst I was finding that out of course his role as Onslow in Keeping up Appearances. Looking at that made me wonder if Judy Cornwall was still alive. She is and she's nearly 82. Seeing pictures of her when she was younger cheered me up a bit. 🙂
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 ?" th-cam.com/video/POO4lrTclNY/w-d-xo.html
I have only be able to watch two of The Likely Lads. Superior to the follow up "Whatever. .". I wish I could see all of the first run. Bewes was much more upbeat than in the second series and comes over as a better actor in the first run.
The final joke in this episode is stupid because the character had already had a shown and in depth medical examination so suddenly being diagnosed as having flat feet was absolutely unbelievable.

Thank you for these. When life is tipsy turvy, always turn to our beloved British sitcoms
but now you cant make a joke because you may offend someone
Agreed, and I'm not even British.
Good old times. I miss that time of my life. I'm comfortable now but those days were magical.
Thanks for posting. It really shows what people (friends, family) were like in those days. A time gone by
Takes me back to better times. Thank you.
OH yes better days and a better world to live in
I've always thought Audrey was beautiful. In the colour episodes and George and Mildred
But she's even more so here. When younger.
Yes, she is a total babe
Definitely
Beautiful woman
Terry's character much more upbeat and positive here than in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads.
That's the army for you .
Me at 17 yrs old . Love the sparkling banter.
This was a great ending to the original likely lads
I would watch anything with the gorgeous Sheila Fearn in it
The part where she's reading Bobs letter and gets to a fruity bit!
She was in a hard days night
brilliant thanks for putting this up
Classic stuff, thank you!
Is this a lost episode i have likely lads dvd in b/w this isnt on it.
@@graemekornicki6810 Strange......I have the DVD, and this is the last episode on it.

Always good but this is one of the best, thanks
Remember when BBC made Funny Comedy Shows 😂😂
Love it. Thank you Do you by any chance have any more?
Brilliant thanks for putting up
I remember seeing this in the 60s, as a child. At the time, I did not get the joke about Bob having to cough during the medical exam!
It's OK, neither does the female half of the audience.

Broke a leg and was left with a limp. Thought no one would cast her anymore. Tragic. In her eighties now
Great thanks 😊
This must look like Buster Keaton to anyone born after 1980.
Sheila Fearn...so young here.
24
excellent thanks
RASC, that same joke was used in the comedy sitcom porridge used by Fletcher when speaking to officer Mackay?
great stuff Army completely different today 2024
A young Eddie Yates at the bar.

Ah, this explains why Terry was so peeved in about being in the army
At last an episode from the original B&W series not the Whatever Happens To which seems to be the only ones on UTube
Did the Character who replaced Bob in the factory inspire the Character of Frank Spencer?
I remember my dad laughing his head off at the end. As a 7 year old I was just dismayed.
Good show
I hang out with the likely lad's
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!"
