I always remember a major excitement at school when a chauffeur driven car pulled up outside our school gates during play time and a gang of us ran over to the gate. The chauffeur had lost his way and was asking one of our teachers for directions. James Bolam and Rodney Bewes were sitting in the back of the car. It was in Monkseaton in Whitley Bay so were probably filming locally.
@@scottandrewbrass yes, because the big white house where they stay and one of them is having a fling with the daughter and the other one with the Mother and and they end up climbing out of the window etc in the film is on The Links at Whitley Bay sea front.

I remember seeing those three performing their sand dance at the Swansea Empire. I was a young lad, so it was early 1950's. Jeez, where have the years gone.
2:35 That remark about Andy Capp was an INCREDIBLE case of foreshadowing! 21:14 "I've got memories but not very pleasant ones". I think that one went over the audience's heads!
Underneath the sometimes puerile light humour there are some home truths here about class and demeanour. Almost Stendhal turned into situation comedy. Well worth watching. Thanks for uploading!

12.16 - that's the FIRST TIME EVER I've heard my growing-up district of 'Carshalton Beeches' (Surrey), mentioned in any form of the media. I was brought up on a council estate in the area, right in the middle of a really posh district. In those days, I jumped at every opportunity to mention Carshalton Beeches, TRUE, and here everyone laughs at it. LOL.
Still do not understand the british school system. when we say public school in canada, its the school where everyone goes to. than when we say private school, thats where rich people send their kids to. but in the u.k. its seems the opistite.
In the UK Public school is where very rich people send their kids, private school is where rich people send their kids , and state school is where everyone else goes 😉
In the early days of schools each school was associated with a particular institution (say a guild or a church, or a regiment) and only open to the children of members of that institution. Then some schools were established that were open to *any* child (whose parents could pay the fees); hence 'public'. And of course some of those schools are still around today. But the name stuck for any private school that wasn't affiliated to an institution.

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

This is when people actually had a laugh 😁
The acting's great - so's the writing - one of my all time favourite sitcoms!
Wonderful series, when your dad let you stay up late.
Yes cos mum went to bingo. Best days of my life.
when tv was worth watching
Definitely
The quality of the writing and acting in this amazing series was second to none. Many thanks for sharing these with us 🙏🏻
always thought Sheila fearn (Terry's sister) was a cracking looking girl .
She was nice
Thelma's sister was a cutie, especially in those boots 😍
Wow such happy memories of watching this . Still so funny better than anything on now
Every episode a gem 💎
I met James Bolam at Heathrow airport some years ago he was very nice and we chatted about golf for a while
Comforting tv back then...I dont watch tv anymore...just the old stuff...love it when these older programmes are uploaded
We didn't have many material things and money was tight but socially we were far happier.
Reminds me of me, long time ago with me old mucka

This was awesome television and I met Rodney Bewes in 2011 in Barking Essex and he was very nice
Barking??
Coming from up North myself, this was and remains one of the best of the bunch of 70's comedies.
I'm from Birmingham and I loved it, so many memories!
It's more a Drama than a sitcom. Just brilliant.
Brilliant series.

When ever I feel low I watch this kind of stuff
A fabulous comedy and a wonderful memory...marred by the fact there was some nastiness between them that was never sorted out before Bewes died... RIP
look up bolam bewes feud. Long article on the details. Worth checking out
A great series. Love the way Terry keeps putting his foot in it! LOL
Errrm , it's the whole point of the series LOL. Can understand the nuances are lost after all this time.
That material "progress" is the road to a better society does not really add up,.. At least when it is the sole marker for progress,
The “Wet your knickers” line 23:19 from Thelma at the dinner party always makes me guffaw.
Another classic episode.
Superb cast, script and acting. Though, but. 🤣
This was proper Sunday night bbc viewing when I was a school kid takes me back to better times for sure

This one contains my favourite anecdote from Terry about Bob and Dierdre Birchwood.
Brilliant!!
Bitter feud between the 2 for over 30 years ! . R.I.P. Rodney Bewes 🙏
Largely in Bewes head. They weren't friends in real life. Just work colleagues.
I dont know how they were not amazingly proud of this series wonderful acting, great script very funny they should have been lifelong friends
Pot-holing with Wilson, Keppel and Betty ROFL
I remember seeing those three performing their sand dance at the Swansea Empire. I was a young lad, so it was early 1950's. Jeez, where have the years gone.
Everyone a Classic……!!!!!!
funny when he played Andy capp in a tv show
2:35 Andy Capp,he went on to play him.
I remember many years later he actually played Andy capp
He did and it wasn’t a patch on this!
I wonder if "the metamorphous of the frog" was the writers' tipping their hats to the famous episode where Terry thinks frogs turn into butterflies?
Sheila fern was a hottie
I concur.😃
I remember having a massive crush on Terry 😍
This is their Abigail's party
Shame James bolom had no time for Rodney bewes at the end
Loved them my patents always watch these 2 likely lads
‘You’ll stop going to football soon, ‘cause Sat afternoon will be golf’ So true, how times have changed
Gave up watching TV 3 months ago, I just watch the good stuff now.
Thanks for putting this on utube 👌 ✌❤🇬🇧
I stopped watching TV at least 15 years ago. Mind numbing tedious garbage.
Where have all the writers and actors gone ?????
They've gone Woke.

He did play Andy cap
The greatest of all British comedy’s ever😊

The good old days when sitcoms were actually funny. I used to fancy Sheila Fern; still do
What about James Bolam?
1972 on tv I remember 72 well ted heath 3 day week .
Yes, 3 day week and power cuts. share a bath or shower to save energy. got coal at Christmas. very welcome
That started late 1973...remember it well...brown outs, blackouts, paraffin heaters in offices and shops, rubbish on the streets etc...
