One word ....Outstanding ...I remember when I was young going with my mother and father to see Jimmy James senior with this act .my dear old mam laughed so loud .Jimmy shouted are you OK missus lol .legends all of em
My late dad knew Eli from their time together in the RAF during the war. We bumped into him in Stockto-on-Tees High Street one Satuday and had a nice chat - a proper gentleman. This sketch is just amazing. Beautiful comedic skills all round. There are two or three performances online - subtly different as live ones always are. It should be dispensed by the NHS to cheer people up!
One of the finest music hall acts ever. Remember music hall? Love this version and the adlib from Eli and immediate response from the great Roy Castle.
Brilliant know each sketch by heart eli was amazing never heard him interviewed so he was that convincing with his stammer I know he was in charecter but brilliant
I haven't got more superlative things to say than what's already said. I've shared this with a few people who had never seen it before, and they found it hilarious.
Three classic, British comedians. Hilarious without foul language or picking on the audience. RIP all three. We will not see their like again.

Never get tired of watching this. Pure comedy.
Why on earth can we not do this now. Pure brilliance from all three.
down to parents....they bring kids up...pure comedy is gone now???
Because my friend, we don’t have this kind of talent nowadays 😢

Absolutely brilliant, simple but so effectively portrayed!
Looked at few Jimmy Janes videos, only young but find these acts proper great funny 😁 thanks for posting
I saw the 3 of them perform this sketch on stage. Great fun!
Brilliant. When Eli makes the Ghandi comment and cracks up. Old style comedy, beats the hell out of today's stuff.
Doesn't it just.
Yer not wrong this lot made you fall out your seat,today's so called comics makes you want to leave your seat.
you would be allowed to do this sketch today ,barmy people would complain and want compensation.
just amazing...three top 'Pro's', masters of their craft.
Wow What a treat....many thanks...English humor, one of best in the world...
Comedy at the best i know its old but brilliant.👏👏👏
This never gets old.
My god l can see the one with glasses Eric Morecambe reborn. Fantastic had me in stitches.
Word perfect from the original sketch with Jimmie James. I know exactly what they are going to say next but it is still comedic brilliance.
Superb and great timing............
Comedy at its best Roy castle what a talented man loved him
Brilliant know each sketch by heart eli was amazing never heard him interviewed so he was that convincing with his stammer I know he was in charecter but brilliant
Brilliant routine from 3 comedy geniuses.
Lovely old time music hall comedy.
7:30 love it when Roy makes Eli crack, so quick, brilliant.
Billy connelly
What ?
Absolutely brilliant, wonderful, real talent ,
Priceless ,what a superb talent was Roy .
Perfection of timing, the secret of great comedy.
I love these British Comedy Show's...How Comedy Show's have changed Today..This Is Classic Comedy Acts
Fantastic, pure comedy at it's best 👍
Brilliant no need for swearing or vulgar content to get a laugh ,proper comedy entertainment for all the family
Absolutely! I love the part when Roy says he went to South Africa and the way the conversation continues - hilarious!
Loved it. Pure joy
Priceless.
Roy Castle was very funny as Captain Keene in 'Carry On Up the Kyhber', which was the only one of the series he was in.
Wonderful

Such a great sketch by 3 genuine comedians.
BRILLIANT
@@donnyjohnston3259 Totally agree. So simple so funny.
Rest in peace one and all 😂😂😂🕊️✌️🕜🕐🤣💞💟☺️🙂
I can see Morecombe and Wise doing this kind of act. We had a rich cultural heritage.
They were doing this act before Morecambe and Wise. Jimmy James was the middleman originally ,the one in this video is James his son.
If M&W had done it there would be no finesse and every line would have been shouted. These three were pure class
Geniuses 😂 superb!
Superb.
"Doesn't make a difference to anybody, except another elephant."
Eli's not as thick as he looks!
Brilliant comedians
First time discovering This comedian Jimmy James.
Bernard Manning mentioned Jimmy James in a 1985 interview.
Happy New Year/ 2024 everyone.
Absolutely wonderful 😂🤣😀
Utterly brilliant! Todays so called comedians can’t touch them!!!
The Irony of James Casey, continually, smoking next to Roy Castle is not lost on me.
I remember Jimmy James doing this act.
It's his son
@@summer2409 I know !
It's on TH-cam
It’s all about timing …and that’s the best of old time
TRULY MAGNIFICENT OF COMEDY 🎭 MIRTH AND TIMiNGS 👍👌💯🙏
Absolutely brilliant....the timing and everything.... Comedy is finished now.....let's rewind...
Just creased my self laughing at 7.30
“His Mother would have been better off with a set of Spoons “😂😂
They were a household name back in the fifties, and they were always popular at Blackpool.
I remember what happened at Scunthorpe..:-))
Check out the timing. Saw them on Cromer Pier in 98, with Don McLean replacing Roy.
Times have truly changed, these guys would be on skid row trying to make a living today.
saw eli woods cracking up there when roy asked how much
Bounty, Crunchy Bars, Sherberts, aniseed balls and Trebor Refreshers.
Brilliant comedy better than anything done today
That's the first time I've seen Eli Woods crack, watched him many times with Hilda Baker.
Oh this is classic
Brilliant
Absolutely fantastic
I saw them do this sketch at Blackpool, Les Dawson was the one holding the box ,they were superb.
This was the time. When Smoke Detector are not yet invented
Oh fantastic 😂😂
Excellent 😂
How much are they ?
They're in that box😂😂
Eli and james where my late nanas cousins
James casey sounds very much like Eric Morecombe
Good clean fun all the way!!
Someone has posted a TV performance by Jimmy James himself at th-cam.com/video/XeJN5p4HveU/w-d-xo.html (sketch starts 2 minutes in)
Good clean comedy
Classic
May have to put a trigger warning on this. As someone somewhere will be offended.
Eli Woods corpsing live on stage......
Eli used to get in the Rimswell with me Grandad Norman. Liked a bet. Canny bloke.
What has happened to comedy ? -- the stuff they produce today is not a patch on this.. even my g/kids find this hilerious and cant stop laghing.
Roy Castle was very funny in 'Carry On Up The Kyyber'
Unfortunately we will never see the like again🤣
When i put my wife in a box i was arrested. its political correctness gone mad!
TheHare's .. MOer...
It's tragic that the word gay used in the lyrics here and in one of Elvis Presley's songs, 'Paralysed' has been hi-jacked by the homosexual lobby.
Reminiscent of the cat empire????
