Now I see where David Walliams got the inspiration for Little Britain- come fly with me - business class host.
It's based on Kelvin hahah
An awful lot of snickering about the passenger who can't eat solid food. And within his sight too. Very unprofessional.
It was innovative of the airline staff suggesting baby food and mashed potatoes. But then don't go around laughing off the passenger's situation with other colleagues atleast not in front of the camera!
Wow, what a blast from the past. It's amazing how things worked back then.
Don’t think they were laughing at the guys condition, just baby food itself. People have to laugh to get thru stressful situations. BUT the Mr. Babyfood was rude as hell, Karmas a bit**.
Yeah. He should have given them enough notice.
B
The nerve of some people! I have to pay for business class and first class; full fares, so why should they expect to receive an upgrade for free?
Anybody else watch these and think what a simple, straight forward happy time it was? Without phones, without Twitter, without Instagram, without constant phones in your hands, without stupid tiktok. Without women with oil in their butt, lip fillers,
Just a simple happy time, with simple tech. Life seemed a lot a lot more content back then, even though we have so many luxuries at our disposal now - strange isn’t it ?
I mean I remember playing a lot outside growing up. I mean we still had a tonne of tv time and video games, but I guess there wasn't any smart phones and good internet connection we could access wherever and whenever, I remember getting my first flip phone in secondary school. It wasn't a big deal as you couldn't really do much on them anyway.
A world without Twitter and TikTok is a happy world.
Wow I see where Little Britain got one of their characters Kelvin from
Things sure have changed. Once the flight has boarded, you can't just come back off for a few minutes and then get back on anymore. Plus, we probably wouldn't inform passengers of a five minute delay, as that's easily made up once in the air, and people panic about even such a little delay.
Lol watch the Britannia airlines documentary where they announce a lion on board
As a Family, we have flown frequently with our Cat, ... C.J. Never has he been tranquilised for ANY journey!! The Americans are very much of this practice, even doing their Pets before leaving them locked in a Crate all day. I have Friends who do this and think it is Best for the Pets! Wrong. Sedation is Only to be used under Vet's Supervision. NOT just to be Convenience. C.J. has been cared for by Stuart & his team @ The A.R.C. (Heathrow ) several times. Each time he has emerged Well & Happy. Thanks to All the Team.
Sedation isn’t good for pets! I’m glad they decided not to board the cats in that state.
I'm a veterinary technician and if done correctly sedation is very safe, but just as in humans pets shouldn't be knocked out just calmed.
The number of killjoys in this comments section getting offended just because of the whole "laughing about the man who's not able to eat solid food" is troubling. No wonder why people are so dry nowadays. YES, the poor bloke's got sinus/throat problems; but he was a really good sport about the baby food idea, and one way to cope through a stressful situation is by joking.
So can someone who actually has a sense of humor please bash me out of my sleep and take me back to the 80s/90s when people were able to take a bloody joke instead of being permanent crybabies/complainers like today.
people always joke at work it helps deal with the stress but you don't do it in front of the 'customers' or a tv camera hahaha that is where the problem lies.
What's that old saying "f*ck 'em if they can't take a joke". It's one thing if the joke is cruel or racist etc but not when it's just an semi-exacerbating situation and you're just laughing at the absurdity of it all. Everyone reacts so violently though these days I'd be afraid to make most any poke fun these days!
Eh just give him some applesauce! And mushy peas! They're good! I find it hard to believe an airline wouldn't have at least some yoghurt?
Soup du jour
or simply, take a hand stick blender everywhere you go if you need your food mashed before you can eat. Those were certainly around when this was filmed. My mum had one for around 15-20 years before it died last year, then she bought a new one. She uses it for mashing potatoes, parsnips, soups Etc.
The two ladies are just faking it so they can stay 😡
Yup...
Nowadays, the airline staff will charge you an extra $20 just to HEAR your request about needing semi solid meals....
I'm surprised the Deportees got put up in a hotel for a couple of nights. A detention cell at the airport would have suited them well. Would have put a stop to the fainting!!
As she fainted, it then became a Duty of Care situation to get the lady re-examined in case somebody screwed up and missed any potential issues.
@@Trek001 , I understand, but the same care could have been done in a detention cell.
It rather amuzed me that the episode begins with a canary flying into Heathrow.
I don't like the way they laughed about the man not being able to eat solid food.
I agree with you . They were totally out of line, especially the toothpick with the balding head .
That may have been more about finding a solution to an unusual request on next-to-no notice, than about mocking the man behind his back.
Oh wow, remember when they used to hand out newspapers? When deplaning, I was always shocked at all the newspapers on the floor and the seats. What a mess.
An awful lot of snickering about the passenger who can't eat solid food. And within his sight too.
It was a sinus issue with the man that needed soft food but THIS airline? I will be sure to Never use it; the staff is extremely disrespectful
Canadian Airlines doesn't exist anymore but keep in mind these were ground staff that were in all likelihood NOT Canadian Airlines staff .Canadian airlines was one of the absolute best of all North American airlines. Far far far better than many many many others...
They weren't rude directly to him. Almost all employees make fun of customers behind their back. Its a fact of life in customer service.
mrgreengenes04 but to do it so publicly when the camera’s are following you, it just means we saw the mans real personality. The passenger wasn’t being a demanding diva. I understand staff might have a bit of a chuckle at strange or unreasonable requests but would you do it on camera or within earshot of the passenger??
@@mrgreengenes04 sure, but you don't do it on camera for millions of people to see. He should have been fired in my opinion.
This was 23 yrs ago- none of those staff will be there now 🙄
Love how the guy goes to help her after she has lugged the heavy suitcases and boxe onto the trolley
Typical...
Now I know where the moses beacon character comes from 🤣
Moses fancies that guy he was getting up close and laughing with.
I'm sure this formed part of the inspiration for 'come fly with me' 😂
You're correct , kelvin at 1:14 was the inspiration for Moses lol
@@mattg3624 8:42 I hope it gets better. Mash his food. hApPY FliGhTiNg 🤣
@@mattg3624 Knew it haha
Imagine laughing at someone's dietary needs when your hair looks like that. 🙄
😂😂😂
😜😅😂
😅😅😅
Great comment. 🤣🤣🤣
What hair.
Beautiful cats
The way to get an upgrade…
Never ask and be nice….not fake nice but true nice, that’s the secret!
Quite honestly, I wouldn't want "Kelvin" looking after me. Making fun of the passengers behind their backs. So very unprofessional and frankly, it doesn't give a good impression of him as person, nor the Airline. I am surprised he wasn't hauled up for that once his employers saw it on film. This is a very old episode because business class hasn't looked like that for a long time, and also, I don't think you get personal concierge service now. You might in First but not in business.
Mr baldhead seems to be making fun of mr babyfood.
They couldn't even get the guy some mashed food
Kelvin Ogunjimi was parodied by Matt Lucas if anyone noticed.
I remember but it was David Williams, and he was spot on. So glad I purchased the series before it was cancelled.
mr curtis should have brought his own food tbh
The canary was a flight risk.
🤣
Don't get free meals anymore. Things were better back then
Canadian Airlines...that brings back memories! LOL
Wouldn’t a protein shakes and smoothies do the trick.
Seems TH-cam have been recommending this video recently!
OMG I remember this programme, Can it really have been 1999 surely?
Sore throat hmmm? lol I love the whole double entendre thing-Miss that about home.
The rudeness and jokes about the man that needed food that was not hard was just aweful a lot of people have teeth issues 👎🏼
Sinus problem. Not teeth problem. ??????
I was thinking troat problems
Yep. Calvin has some gross, ugly teeth.
@@gloriawelch3603 they're all connected :-)
I think it was more Attention issues. First he said he had a sore throat, then decided it was sinus. I have had both throughout my life, and you know what? I have never been unable to chew!
So strange to see people reading newspapers!
😂😂😂😂
17:58
The projector for the film. Haven't seen one of those since 2002.
I also have a Siamese cat named Jack.
Kelvin clearly inspired Moses from Come Fly With Me
I know this was three years ago, but I hope there was some discipline given to the sniggering gate officers!!! They should be ashamed of themselves!!
Love Sarah!
We got baby food and terrible hair, and a big belly laughing jerk HAHAHAHA.
I noticed this 🤣
It was ignorant of that woman to ask to make a telephone call and I am horrified that the staff acceeded to her request
'Mr. BabyFood'.... Such a jerk
The gentleman who is supposed to be SERVING people making fun of someone who cannot eat solid foods because of injury - is incredibly RUDE! Laughing at him, making fun of him - what kind of service provider is he? The poor gentleman who cannot eat solid food - and he hadn't eaten for a few days - my word - an example of people laughing behind your back!
You’re making him sound so mean when he wasn’t mean spirited at all, go back to Twitter will ya. We don’t do that here 💀
What Injury? He had a Sore Throat! I find it funny that a supposedly adult man is demanding toddletr attention for a sore throat too, sorry if that 'offends' you. No food for 3 days. Diddums. Has he never heard of soup? If you have a GENUINE dietary requirement and notify the airline at the time of booking they will accommodate you.
Shame, Kelvin's job seems pretty much redundant now
Actually Air Canada still has this position 🤣
I was going to say, this video must be old, because that man laughing at the passenger's problem of eating, then calling him Mr Babyfood to his co-worker is very inappropriate and insensitive. But that was then, 1999, and this is now, and it wouldn't happen now.
Oh, it would.
Hope the cat and the canary never cross path!!
Do you have anymore episodes
Someone named Aaronair Port has posted a bunch.
@@Sheila02181 seen them all
My God do people actually steal wheelchairs from the airport?🙄
When we flew most recently last year (USA), we saw lots and lots of wheelchairs……deserted in the parking lot at our local regional airport. They were labeled with the names of various airlines or airport services - just haphazardly left here and there. Not sure if the parking lot was w/c accessible, but most people drove curbside to load or unload their handicapped passengers. I was shocked because, while we were inside the terminal area, they were paging for “wheelchairs needed.” There were none, because they were strewn through the parking lot (I did notify someone). I suspect that some passengers use the wheelchairs to carry their bags to the car, and leave them there like shopping carts (our airport doesn’t provide baggage trolleys).
Am I crazy or does the narrator sound like John Nettles of Midsomer Murders?
It is him
Just about all the male employees featured are bald. That's more than just a coincidence. Maybe the cameraman has a thing for bald men! Haha
OLD !!!!!!
ah pre 9/11!
you can tell they are not real actors lol x
😅
seldom see anyone fat and ines who are , looking at fats of today they aint fat
British doesn't seem to be efficient as American airlines.
The disturbed staircase compatibly walk because reason trivially store sans a adventurous march. four frail, bitter woman
Why they don't allow people from Israel entering U.K. while permitting millions of arabs?
Maybe the Israeli passport isn't valid
Cos there anti-Semitic like the Nazis . That’s the conservatives for you
@@samdaviesaviationandfootba2602 they're not their. Check your resources on prejudices of those who live in Isreal.
Its not their nationality that is the problem, its their documentation.
They were being deported not being denied access to the uk. They were illegal immigrants. The story made the local news
