Fabulous Dorothy

Russel Hunter was also great as a similarly bolshie machinist in The Gaffer.

Tacoma Washington state West coast U.S.A. here, I have family in Motherwell Scotland, I love this show😊

Thanks so much took me back I went to school in Ayr oh such memories I now live on Vancouver Island but miss the old days MaryAnn ❤

The Stonemason's yard is in Sauchihall Street, Glasgow. It's now the site of "The Garage" nightclub. Back in the '50's it is alleged that The Stone of Destiny was taken from it's hiding place around the corner and a copy made. It was the copy that Elizabeth sat upon during her Coronation.

Roddy McMillan was a very fine character actor. He played a real nasty piece of work in When The Boat Comes In.

My favourite line is from mournful and frightened Dan when bent double: "I think I could learn to live like this".

Wonderful, gentle, civilised humour.

Hi thanks for sharing this very interesting clip on KZbin I was down the Barony Pit on a School outing in 1960 I then was a pupil at Glaisnock Rural School near Cumnock I remember Killoch just newly built in 1958.😢

Brilliant episode. A gem 💎

Brilliant episode a gem💎

That water pumper at the end was more powerful than the Vital Spark's main (only) engine.

The best days.

June 1968 with mum dad and younger brother I was 5 he was 18 months old. I can remember it vividly being woken by the same piano song over loudspeaker to get up for breakfast . Which you could smell being cooked in dining room across from outdoor pool . We had a great week glorious hot weather in the outdoor pool A lot and horse riding along the Sandy beach . Lost Mum & Dad over the last 3 years. Was in the haven site a few years ago the roads are all the same but all chalets and most of the buildings are demolished my dad was right life is fleeting Butlins may be Gone in Ayr but the memories last for ever I’m 61 now lol but I can go back to that holiday in 68 in my mind like yesterday .

Pitty the town is an utter dump these days. :(

They don't make them like this anymore. Loved her. Thanks.

I WAS BORN IN 1968 SO THIS WAS BEFORE MY TIME JUST DISCOVERED THIS ITS BRILLIANT SHAME THERE ARE ONLY 4 EPISODES LEFT. GREGOR FISHER IN THE RE MAKE OF PARA HANDY IS VERY GOOD INDEED BUT THE ORIGINAL IS TIMELESS A TREASURE THAT SHOULD BE SAVED FOR GENERATIONS TO ENJOY ❤️🌍

4:58 awesome

Suberb eric

A lengthy career, but Dorothy's at her peak here, almost shy of her dotage. Terrifically funny, in her storytelling! I APPLAUD YOU, Dorothy! X

Visited Scotland 1998 and examined a "Clyde Puffer" Tied up at Govan. Great stories Re: Parra Handy

WISH THERE WERE MORE OF THESE BRILLIANT ❤

Don't understand why the video was posted. It doesn't give any information on how to build one the same.

What a super wee film. Thanks for posting it. As an aviation buff, it was great to get my first ever sight of the Spartan Cruiser II landing on Islay. The last of them was retired from service in 1942.

She is. Absolutely. Briliant. Never laughed so much.

Lorna looks surprisingly modern, wee bit of Kiera Knightly about her maybe?

Thanks for loading this short film , Eric ; really appreciated : i remember it being shown in a cinema in the days when a new feature film was showing , and a suitable short film played at the start of the whole performance as a support. It is nigh on impossible to locate any recording of the Bread Love & Dreams song at the end ; it appears , despite extensive research , that the only way to hear this , is actually on the film soundtrack at the end of this short film. I can think of only two other films that hav this same aspect. Both X films so i wont mention them. There is little if any information about the director either. This 50 year old item is very effective in its own way , with a unique feeling and presentation.

Eric is the bomb

Absolutely. Brilliant. Never stopped laugjhing. She is so funny

was that the Ayr Fort Players in this video down the river Ayr and shore front? thanks for uploading this video

I love eric

Hi Eric, this it what it looks like from the cockpit to land at Prestwick. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6CmhJ16irKMncUsi=7EToLYeDomPGyVDB If you have not done already, please subscribe to my aviation channel and turn on notifications, so you will not miss any new videos.

This is brilliant and takes me back nearly 60 years.

At 16:17, the cinema is showing the film 'Stolen Life' with Michael Redgrave, fixing the year as 1939.

Exellent😊😊

Sad, you go there now half of it is shut down and half the population is foreign with no interest in the culture.

Primary school flashbacks…

Don't show this to " Just stop oil " protesters it will send them into an apoplectic fit.

Watching this show 60 years back I thought it was the funniest thing on television. much better than the BBC stuff. The working class humour resonated with me and I wanted to be the captain of a tugboat on the river..

AHHH. The town I was born in back then. I went on the Port Station Ride before with Thomas and Friends designed on the Carriages.

Dorothy squires the glesga version

not getting down to Glsska.

she is an incredible talented beauty.

Thanks for posting these episodes i have watched them many times they bring back so many memories of my youth and always make me laugh

,

One day I will ask for a translation .

An inspiration for Still Game 😂

An utter tragedy that so many episodes have been lost. Shame on those who didn't keep them. Remember watching these as a boy, loved it.

I've never heard this one but now it's living rent free in my head!
