I hate when I'm trying to buy some giant pencils but the crucifixions are holding up the line.
Don't you just hate it when that happens
"GET ON WITH IT!"
As a genuine British person, I can tell you this is 100% accurate.
As a 100% accurate person, I can tell you this is genuinely British.
Doesn't make it any less funny. I have no idea where you got all that pent up rage from, but I can tell you it doesn't make you look like a sane person.
***** My good sir, you are correct.
@Imani Hekima I think he is, unless he is not.
I'm British, but I'm not genuine.
The traditional British market is dying, this great film captures the golden era.
Brought a tear to my eye. Or it may have been conjunctivitis, I'm not sure.
For me, this is the best thing on TH-cam...I'd estimate I've watched this about 20000 times
Wow, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMCMXCVIIIII times?!
Me too!
Ive come back for a chuckle or to show people for at least 12 years now lol
@@FumblsTheSniper Your comment brought me back for another watch - so thanks!
There's the old replay button, I've had some good use out of that
I say "I could do with a bit of butter" every time I could do with a bit of butter, which is quite often
"There he is, ringing his murderer's bell."
Fourteen...
@III Vance It's a bell rung by murderers. Back then you'd find at least one in every town on a market day. That's how they'd let people know they were available for murder. "Bring out yer victims!" they'd say while ringing their murderer's bell. "High class family murderer!" Of course, that was before the eighties when all the murder houses got shut down and all those murderers were out of work. You could still take someone to the supermarket to be murderered, or murder them yourself with a DIY murder kit, but it just wasn't the same. End of an era.
Of course, the old murdering craft never completely died out, and if you look around you can still find a good while-you-wait murderer. And there are more micromurderies sprouting up all over the country now. It's pricy, but can you really put a price on quality? Some of these mass-market murders are bloody useless. You hardly know they've been murdered afterwards!
@@slacknhash This is a gross fallacy, and I'm a little embarrassed that you'd bring it up. Lee Titt's films were riddled with historical inaccuracies. A murderer's bell wasn't to announce the presence of a murderer; a common misconception that Titt does nothing to avoid with his lazy research. A murderer's bell is simply a bell used for murdering, often by a murderer but sometimes by a murderer's boy when the murderer is away on other business. I'm available for talks on the subject.

Unless you're a certified member of the Kingchop Institute of Lecturers on the Lethal, I'm not booking you for our next Country Women's Association meeting - I'm certainly not forking out the airfare and accommodation etc. costs (we're in outback Queensland) unless you have met K.I.L.L.'s rigorous qualification standards of a PhD in Murder, Genocide and Suspicious Accidents, and having completed no less than three regional weekend seminars on murder WHERE AT LEAST 75% OF PARTICIPANTS SURVIVED.

@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 I'm proud to say I have no certification on the subject - _my_ knowledge comes from hard graft and experience, not little bits of paper and book learning. Would you accept a seminar survival rate of 73%? My average was sadly diminished when an actual murderer turned up to the last talk and set fire to Ursula Pond, Martha Bertha, Bertha Umlaüt and Murgatroyd Ponsonby, a tragedy over which I had little control but which was admittedly extremely educational. The murderer let me ring his bell afterwards.
"They're about to be crucified."
"Get on with it!"
"Dont you guys want Barabbas"
"Man my pencil's gonna spoil just 'em nail up"
Once again Lee Titt has done a fabulous job of capturing Britain the way it was before Europe.
That was Ringwood market in the mid 70s. Jack Hargreaves shopping for his programme " Out of Town"
I had a feeling it was JH, all that tackle was right up his street.
no it's Lee Titt having an erotic day of theft
post-brexit britain has improved a lot!
Wait... this comment is 3 years old!..
I'd love to see another Serafinowicz and Popper collaboration. The footage, the voiceover and choice of music - perfection.
I wish there was a TV channel that just played stuff like this non stop. This, and Look Around You are a special kind of programming. They don't make them like they used to.
@@ZeranZeran The guy in the film is called Jack Hargreaves, the footage used is probably from one of his shows, either 'Old Country' or 'Out of Town', they are a pretty good watch themselves, and you could also do the funny voice-overs in your head if you wanted -

@@thesunreport I don't think I would've ever found this out without you replying, thank you! I find his stuff very calming.
@@ZeranZeran Yeah it's great, I like it too. :)
@@thesunreport Find the music from "Old Country" on loop a great sleep aid.
Showed this to a girl I had been dating for about 2 months. She laughed her butt off with me. We’ve been married for 5 years now. “Erotic!”
That is awesome. I love when people can find each other through shared sense of humor, its a rare and beautiful thing
I genuinely hope it is still erotic.
I've had the opposite experience where a lady friend I was dating didn't get Brian Butterfield. Ugg she gone
@@granitsky63 hope you met someone worthy of your bon bon bon bons
@@peartreeproductions77 My current SO is increbidle
Filmed in my hometown! My grandad used to buy me an eccles cake and take me to the livestock market to look at the blue whales.
The music on this wonderful documentary is A Tune For Lucy by The Inigo Kilborn Group. Markets of Britain is one of the best things on TH-cam.
There's not enough superlatives to say how wonderful this is. I hope they do more together soon.
Come and watch this again
no wonder the rest of the world looks on with envious eyes. God bless Britain i say, and her markets.
Love this. Can't watch "Old Country" with Jack Hargreaves without thinking about this now. 😆
Can't wait for the sequel
This is the best thing on the internet
The Noise-up Merchant 4 years later and this comment is still true.
Close but this is closer:

@@jimmykit-kat3424 That's a bit of fun, but it's also a basic viral marketing stunt, though - this is cleverer, which makes it better IMO
Lee Titt was obviously a very gifted documentary filmmaker. I learned so much about british markets today! Hope there´s coming more from him soon!
I lost it at "mini emus"
Wish the guy who lives next door would lay off using the barking machine.Might have to get my murderers bell out.
Come back, person from 6 years ago! I need to tell you how much I enjoy these comments here. Laughing my head off.
@@LootFragg you shouldn't be laughing your head off!
You should outsource that to a proper murderer! One with qualifications!
Word to the wise, though: make your booking through a third party. Apparently they might not call it murder if you don't. Allow room in your budget for a one-way ticket to a non-extradition country.
This is the movie we'd watch in the 70s when the teacher had a hangover. And now I've saved it to watch for when I have a hangover. Thanks, teacher.
...Theacher.
I could do with a bit of butter
+L Bellhouse Idiots.
Gosh, such genuine humor. It's been a while finding something like this.
watching again and again..
"Pencils... giant pencils..."
"Some dogs, some cats, mini emus, a couple of blue whales..."
EXCELLENT addition to Look Around You. Thanks Lee. "Thlee!"
Hello Tommyinnit folks
Hey
Wow I’m surprised there arent more tommyinnit viewers here
Hi lol
Pure British humor.. Excellent.. i am from Venezuela and I get it !!!.,. well done.
jesusr medina what a great feel when you know venezuela did not starved yet
Just noticed the Copyright date at 0:10... lovely. My favorite bit was between the start and the end.
I've seen this a few times, shown by friends, but only now have I looked at the details. I can totally believe that this was made by the guys who brought us LOOK AROUND YOU.
Back when they used real Calcium film.
0:24 Still looks like this today: 50.847112, -1.794831
I watched this when I was like 12, I didn't know much English so it was a bit weird (why does he call the rabbit a snake? what?) after a while I found out it was a parody and I absolutely loved it and how absurd it was, I watch this video from time to time, I love this video maybe this "molded" my humor to absurd after watching this, I love absurd humor movies especially from monty python and leslie nielsen
"What's that? A snake? I don't know".
I can't believe I have never seen this before. This is the best thing to ever come from the Popper/ Serafinowicz camp in my opinion. They should do more stuff like this.
One of the best videos on the internet, IMO.
I can't stop watching it! never fails to make me laugh. Please make more!
Bet you don't remember this comment
Very educational. This has taught me a great deal about modern British life.
now that made me chuckle.. Rare footage of Ringwood marked with a very interesting & amusing voiceover..
Peter you absolute legend... more! I WANT MORE!!!!
Some dogs... a cat... mini emus... a couple of blue whales... What's this a snake? I dunno.
Best bit 🤣
one of my favorite videos on youtube
Absolutely brilliant
I started to chuckle about half way through, found myself properly laughing by the end of it :)
I think this is one of the best things I've seen on tinternet.
One of the best documentaries I know.
I want MORE Titt-Vision productions 😩
This is very well done.
My God. I have not genuinely cried laughing from a video in a very long time
This is amazing!
" I'll have these, keep walking, keep walking..." lol, that gets me!!
You absolute star... cheers for the info!
Informative.
I love this accurate representation of the British market and that robot is lookin fiiiiiine
absolute brilliance
I loved every single second of this! I laughed soo hard! I am going to obsessively look for more now. :,D
9 years later what have you found
This made me laugh out loud so many times!
Damn. Awesome job, sir!
lovely. thank you, gentlemen.
This the best TH-cam video I've ever seen.
I didn't really know what was going on at the start, thought my brother was having a laugh sending me this...but WOW!! what a jem, that had me in stitches!!! Awesome!!!
"Ah could do with a bet of butteh"
Wonderful. If you haven't already seen 'Birds of Britain', check it out as well.
Whenever I am asked "What comes to mind when I think of my favourite films" I always day "Titt's"
I love the background music so much like the educational documentaries I used to watch as a child.
I recognised the 5/4 jazzy tune as one from between BBC 70s school broadcasts while a countdown clock was shown.
Forgot how boss this was. They should make more!!
So funny, how clever:) Love the monotone voice!
Still, after all this time, under 1m views? This some real OG shit right here boys
As a lad I was crucified a few times for stealing apples. Never did me any harm.
Erotic.
thoroughly enjoyed that!
Anyone lost any butter?
I could do with a bit of butter.
Idiots
Ayo this is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve watched this about like 5 times now.
I LOVE THIS!!!
The Northern wheeze/laugh as he perves up the mannequin is the best bit. reminds me of home.
This is perfect British humour. I love it!
Blooming marvellous!!.....just wondering if anyone knows who is doing the background music??
'I reckon there's about 20,000 in that bundle'. Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz, you guys are geniuses. Genii? Genusieis? Geneodes.
That great auteur of the seventies UK documentary, Lee Tiitt.
superb!!!!
There he is...ringing his murderer's bell.
Damn, gotta visit Great Britain sometime...
what is your purpose of visit to Great Britain? To buy, to sell, or to steal?
@@n0tAnother I bet he's gonna steal some British apples.
We sell lots of mini emu's
This was just pure genius.
Please. Make. MORE!!!
This is awsome, thanks
absolutely hilarious!
loved it, Brilliant. :-)
I'm not a "the x people who disliked this are idiots" or "the y people who disliked this have no sense of humour" sort of person. That said, the 92 people who disliked this are idiots with no sense of humour.
Idiots indeed! I could do with a bit of butter.
@Sleeping don't worry: they wont be long for this world
We all make mistakes...I know i have
Tears of laughter everytime I watch this! 🤣
The date at the beginning..... genius
amazing
I laughed my ass off with this one! Really funny stuff!
Can someone explain again why the BBC cancelled the Peter Serafinowicz show? Seems like insanity to me. This is so good!
does anyone else notice how much the opening graphic looks like the carpet inside the Stanley Hotel from The Shining?
I'm pretty sure this is the greatest thing i've ever seen in my entire life.
Brilliant
Very good. Has anyone noticed how many more shots the "murderer" appears in? I think about four.
I will have this played at my funeral
Hilarious vid, and utterly ridiculous. I love it, and also apologize for my need to respond to the conversations below. I should have kept my nose out.
I'm glad there are others who love this kind of comedy :)
