This has been simply one of the greatest Documentary series I think I have ever seen. It's honestly really hilarious and somewhat like something that Peter Kay would have made. This camera crew must have been one of the luckiest Camera crews ever! Capturing such crazy things happening and making it interesting. Thanks so much for uploading these!
We really did work some long hours, back in the day. I genuinely loved working there, during that time. I made some of my dearest friends, working there in the late 90’s. You didn’t need a radio to hear JR. you could hear him before you see him. The camaraderie was fantastic!! Geoffrey Thompson was the loveliest man I have ever met.
That wink from Geoffrey was all about what the park was in the 90s. He was fantastic and ran it really well. Off topic, these videos were really interesting, Thank you HighHoe Kermit for the upload and I would love if there was anymore like this!
Sad to see how far Blackpool has fallen. I lived and worked there from 2005-2007 and used to hear all the stories from the locals about how it used to be before heading to Europe on cheap holidays.
hahahaha that is hilarious .. that guy tot hem kids come on.. move on ' il bash your head in' hahaha very good advertisement for a family freindly theme park hahaha
I grew up on bpb my parents had the kiddie rides and cafe in kiddie land. Jr banned me from the park in the six weeks holiday had to spend everyday in the ice rink. Geoffrey had a brand new Rolls Royce and caught me sitting on the bonnet Stella was laughing and I got banned again. Happy memories
Wonder when the park last stayed open till 1/2am?! Even 12am?? Such a waste. They shout from the rooftops about 'late night riding' when it shuts at 10pm....
+Jack A this was back when people had to pay to go on each ride individually. they don't need to stay open as late to make the money now,with the newer wristband system etc.
Jack Morgan actually it's wristbands and tickets but tickets are only there if you want to go on a few rides, some people only want to go on the one ride so they do still sell tickets :)
Used to love coming to blackpool every year i was only about 9ish i remember having loads of tickets :) , brill park didn't brave the big one until i was about 11 after seeing it break down loads still went on another good series im struggling to find is 'Theme park' ~ based on flamingo-land Does anyone remember this ??
It's the editing, they wouldn't have had many cameras there filming, I'd stake my pension that the b roll of the cable car was from a completely different day
Good to see all of these again. For me Keith Allen was the real star "ill bash your head in" Bahahaaaa!!... They should do another series , but alton towers this time
So interesting the pressure they were under to keep the ride throughput to make money 💰 now with the one cost to get in must be easier , also charging to get in probably got rid of half the drunks and shoplifters
wached them all in one go. got to the end and relysed there were no more....... never to be continued. or at least i doubt they will. from what i know they never beet that record. and ever since JR passed away (RIP) the parks been going down hill. now Alton Towers is the big park in the UK. i hope they do a series like this at Alton Towers. I always liked this stile of documentary. but even then, it wouldn't be the same......
@@danielledewitt1 Yeah, I know, but what I mean is I've never seen managers or security on site sorting out problems like they seem to have in this show. I mean did the camera crew just follow them round waiting for something to happen ?
Press charges over £3 even tho police basically say there to busy for pointless theft of 3€. Shop owner wants to go through wid chargers even tho offers to pay bit harsh
Ah right, sorry. No I've never really seen any others and I don't imagine any other parks would do one after seeing this either! This was amid the fashion of fly-on-the-wall type documentaries that were flying out of the BBC at the time, starting with Jane Macdonald's original claim to fame on the cruise ship, then later that one about the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. Think there's some of those on here, might have to have a watch. :)
Oh my god threatening a child the mans lost it just to break record I will never go to the pleasure beach again I love Blackpool there’s plenty to do without giving them money
You're welcome, glad you liked them. I wonder if you wouldn't mind having a look at my latest video? It's featured on my channel or search anywhere for "stewie g meets mr b". Cheers!

keith,to a 6 year old child: "i'll bash ya! i'll come down there and bash ya head in!"...child looks up terrified. tv gold!
Jack Morgan if he said that in 2018 there would be a massive court case
Wouldn't get away saying that now!
Kid would chin him now.

How did you find Amanda?
@@graham2sexy955 I’ve never met her and I just know she’s a total bitch 😂
Was Amanda regularly seen about the park, I wonder if she only took a bigger interest in the rides after her father’s death
Were people embezzlement the cash takings? Seems very easy.
Child stops on ride
Any other theme park: Hang on I'll come help you
Blackpool: I'lL bAsH YoUr HeAd In!
I can't believe this series has finished! I could watch this forever!
Watching this in 2022. Fantastic.
who still watches these 2018? really good
Scott Pyatt Me.
Me
I do
2020
This is in the 90's surely?

The only reason Jr run things the way he did. Is because he is a showman. His family are roland and Andertons funfairs. So he knows what's what etc.
Mr Thompson must have been such a great father to have. Very intelligent man
Had the privilege of meeting mr Thompson
"I haven't stolen anything" Then nicks the air freshners from the cell! You couldn't make it up!!!
Really enjoyed all six of these. Thanks for uploading.
Sad to see how far Blackpool has fallen. I lived and worked there from 2005-2007 and used to hear all the stories from the locals about how it used to be before heading to Europe on cheap holidays.
I've just watched this series back to back, it feels like a mix between Peter Kays "Phoenix Nights" and "Life on Mars"
Sounds about right! 😂
Thank you for uploading these. Happy memories of Blackpool and this series
I've just watched these all back to back and I never do that. Really entertaining. I wonder how the lads are going now?
This was a good series. cheers for upload. :)
Wonderful to see the place buzzing with life.
mesmoland correct
“I’ll bash yer head in” sent me 🤣🤣🤣
Great to watch this documentary after a year or so.

Threatening to bash my kids head in would be detrimental to your good health, Keith.
thanks for the uploads, really enjoyed them.

Awesome childhood I bet! Lucky sod!!! :-)

+Jack A this was back when people had to pay to go on each ride individually. they don't need to stay open as late to make the money now,with the newer wristband system etc.
+Jack Morgan Did the park not have the wristbands in the 90s? Did they not introduce wristbands until Amanda took over the park?
yeah they had wristbands too,but alongside the usual pay per ride system.now it's wristbands only :-)
Jack Morgan actually it's wristbands and tickets but tickets are only there if you want to go on a few rides, some people only want to go on the one ride so they do still sell tickets :)
Jack Morgan Actually it is wristbands or ibdividual ride tickets.
The Big One running 3 trains??? I've never seen it run 2!
7.49 in If keith had threatened my child like that he would have found himself lying sprawled over the tracks ...
justmehow 👍 same here!
Exactly what I thought angry little man
Jaap Seiye He was joking.
@@danielledewitt1 maybe he was ? even so you dont talk to other peoples children like that and certainly not mine.
Jaap Seiye He definately was joking. Shame you can’t take jokes.
Ah... the 90's.... :)
Nono, I watched the whole series for this, but I am wondering for any other theme park documentarys.
If I ever go to Blackpool I’m not riding the Big One, it’s always breaking down!
Picky Bitch Rides are machines. Machines break down.
Lol geez wouldn't get away with some of this now 2020
Used to love coming to blackpool every year i was only about 9ish i remember having loads of tickets :) , brill park didn't brave the big one until i was about 11 after seeing it break down loads still went on another good series im struggling to find is
'Theme park' ~ based on flamingo-land
Does anyone remember this ??
A security guard does not have the powers of arrest. Honestly, this guy thinks he's a law unto himself
"No one's stuck anywhere."
Shows people in cable cars🤣
JR is lot less shouty this episode.
Hence why I commented about that saying I can see people stuck lol.
It's the editing, they wouldn't have had many cameras there filming, I'd stake my pension that the b roll of the cable car was from a completely different day
and this is way there is a charge to get in and security to stop events like this happening and make the plesurebeach a safe place for every one
Thanks for this, enjoyed it, are there anymore about?
There's a link in the description for episode 1, all 6 are here if that's what you mean? :)
Anybody who watches this and still disagrees with the £6 charge just to walk around??????
They would even charge for a 100 year old pensioner in a wheelchair to visit.
@@hjp1hjp22 If I are it to be 100 and the Pleasure Beach is still around I'd be grateful to play.
Typos! That should read 'if I make it'.
Its now £10 to walk round.
You can no longer pay to just walk around.
I wonder if all the rides and electricity kept breaking down what the attitude would be.
power cut really funny at 15:26!
Good to see all of these again. For me Keith Allen was the real star "ill bash your head in" Bahahaaaa!!... They should do another series , but alton towers this time
Omg this i remember this. Theyd go mad now at the level of health and safety 😂
So interesting the pressure they were under to keep the ride throughput to make money 💰 now with the one cost to get in must be easier , also charging to get in probably got rid of half the drunks and shoplifters
Lmao did Keith Allen just tell a child he was going to bash her head in with his fist!?
i love watchin these :D
Today you have to pay to get in the pleasure beach,our crowd turn round and walked away,wouldn't go again as it's all a rip off.
An average day there I'd imagine!
wached them all in one go. got to the end and relysed there were no more....... never to be continued. or at least i doubt they will. from what i know they never beet that record. and ever since JR passed away (RIP) the parks been going down hill. now Alton Towers is the big park in the UK. i hope they do a series like this at Alton Towers.

Jr is still alive!
Well that's nearly English you have written there !
Whiley Fox You shouldn’t tell lies. JR is still alive.
Are you mad? I know you are talking 5 years ago, but imo BPB pisses all over Alton Towers
@@danielledewitt1 I can't find anything about JR online
Is it just me or did everything break down during these episodes?
Hmm coincidence much?
Yea it was just to show the viewers there's nothing dangerous when a ride stops etc. That the engineers are on the ball.
What do you think they did it deliberately do you, losing money for a fly on the wall BBC documentary ? Silly person
Nobody's stuck anywhere he says, I can see people stuck on a few rides.
Thought it was just me!
I would NOT pay to walk round that place all day.
The Iron lady upset that girl :(
90s Salford!
I remember it well!
Hm..I was at the Pleasure Beach the pther day, but I didn't see anything like this!
This was in the late 90’s.
@@danielledewitt1 Yeah, I know, but what I mean is I've never seen managers or security on site sorting out problems like they seem to have in this show. I mean did the camera crew just follow them round waiting for something to happen ?
@@mistofoles No they don’t. I’ve seen them around the park here andthere.
Having a party because thatchers dead hahahaha
Is Kieth Allen still there or not
I doubt it, this was about 27 years ago. You'd get less for murder! 😂
Outstanding love thus x
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️🌈🌈🙏 Stay safe everyone
Press charges over £3 even tho police basically say there to busy for pointless theft of 3€. Shop owner wants to go through wid chargers even tho offers to pay bit harsh
They should have given him the chance to pay it then if he refuses then call police
We don’t use euros in the UK so wtf are you talking about ?

He's clearly joking, moments later he explains why it happens because there "wee legs get tired", sounds like a real monster lol
Omw123 Wilkins He was joking. You wimp, you are missing out on the king of coasters icon.
This was filmed 23 years ago : /
@AltonTowersChild Make that 14 years :)
20:40 Bastard haha

#WilhelmScreams
Wish they'd do another one problem is it'd be all patronising and wishy washy 🙄
Uh huh
Shame they don't show or tell the real truth about this place
lagonda66 what’s the truth?
Arran Melaugh The truth is it is a great park.
Thatcher 🤢
the big one seems very,very unreliable?. I think its broken down in every episode ha,ha
