Quality all the way through. Just wonderful to watch

Here's my predictable complaint about things being better back when I didn't have to get up to pee five times a night. I note that the music was better roughly around the time I gained some independance and became sexual active too. Guess I should be thankful to have grown up in the best era ever :D

Pure magic. Loved this show. RIP Barry.

Patrick Campbell used to have me in stitches when I was a small kid watching this.

Watching this show that I remember from my youth, it reminds me that ""Would I like to You" is almost a direct copy of the show, but a slight variation.

Felicity Kendal? Outlandishly gorgeous 🎉

As very young children we would watch this and laugh along with our parents. We knew only one person was telling the truth even if we didn’t have a clue who it was, the descriptions probably went over our young heads but the premise of the game didn’t. Fond memories of Frank Muir being a favourite.

I can’t see Alison Hammond in a 2024 version somehow.

Patrick is a legend should have done more TV

Every Monday evening on BBC 4 (Channel 9), I have been enjoying the repeats of a 1974 series of "Call My Bluff".

"Would you like a jelly baby?"

As a kid I would have thought this dull but now I wish I had given it a chance.

It's only just struck me watching this how very much Tim Rice and James May resemble each other facially.... Both lovely 😊

It's always good to see 1970s Tom Baker getting more work.

I knew cockamamy

The old days were better. Cultural diversity has changed us for the worse.

Liked her in the film Walk about

Where's Jenny Agutter?

Now THAT is how to do a comb over

At last , something worth watching on TV !

Ted Ray's son!

Wish they would do another one of these

The ladies were so much prettier and elegant in those days.

Beautiful, erudite ladies.

Love these posts but just a little confused why some episodes start halfway through the episode..?

Ah, we all know which Tom we're getting here. It's the pretend posh one, who you would assume had been to university, and who hung around with Daniel Farson and Francis Bacon.

These CMB episodes have given me so many hours of pleasure. Thank you. ❤

Felicity was/is perfect

Ladies were so beautiful back then, Pauline Yates RIP

I remember watching this with my mum and dad when I was about 12 or 13. I loved it!

The presence of Joanna and Nanette - portraits on the screen Penelope and Sinead too, with all this pulchritude what can the poet do?

As a kid watching this, I remember getting annoyed whenever Patrick's team won.

The boys all fancy Felicity

What a great find. Thank you. To be honest I don't remember this - maybe a bit before I became fascinated by movies. Shame only 2 survive

I think this was a time when guests on quiz shows were really invested in the quizzes and not there for the exposure, also they demand to be given the answers beforehand so they won't appear stupid.

Such a joy this programme ... I was quite young when it was airing and I still loved it.

Beautiful programme. A lovely memory. Simpler times ! 🙏

I don't think Robert Robinson is on safe ground when it comes to making quips at hair styles, me thinks.

Felicity Kendal is utterly exquisite. She is beyond all women. No female can compare. I shall smite any man that says otherwise!

Felicity was indescribably perfect.

I usually don't like commenting on people's looks ... but as everyone else is doing it ..... Jenny is that "girl next door" who we all wished for as a neighbour. Even her voice soothes me and calms my beating heart. She has that kind of wholesome beauty that could make a Bishop kick in a stained glass window just to gaze upon her. If she walked into your pub, all the men would turn, go silent, and drink deep. Jenny, thank you for existing.

I love that none of these cultured people knew what Zinfandel was in 1974 :)

Superb, amusing and clever.

Thoroughly enjoyable episode of the show made exquisite by the presence of Anouska Hempel & Gemma Jones...

Pity they can't pronounce 'GabriELLE' and keep saying 'GabriEL'.

Seems so slow paced now

Jenny is incredibly beautiful .

35:39 Whoever was writing these alternative definitions, well done for his/her knowledge and consonant playfulness. There is actually a (sacred) month called _Muharram_ in the Islamic calendar. As regards beauty and musical talent in the Drake Family: You should see photographs of young Molly Drake (mother of Gabrielle and Nick) and hear her 1950s home recordings too --released as a compilation album in 2013.

Re-watching my DVD set of "The Good Life" at the moment, one of the best British sitcoms ever made imo. It's as funny and charming today as it was back in the 70s and it's wholesome nature is a much needed breath of fresh air when compared to most of what gets broadcast today.
