the "thats life" sketch was spot on!! and now its shite like mrs browns boys and citizen khan thats ruining my television entertainment with their drivel

Question: If Pamela Anderson = x Hollywood celebrities. What is the _value_ of x? (You have one day to answer)🤔

Classic British humour!

Fondly remembered. How different live seemed in the 1980’s……….far better me thinks!

Where is the mandatory warning that is on most older comedies these days

Well President Richard Head would definitely beat the current contenders.

How good was that? A top top show. So topical at the time, and incredibly relevant still. Nothing was sacred, and Pamela's impersonations are superb. 40 years later and it still made me laugh out loud. Pure class.

40 years on Rowan Atkinsons sketch as candidate for the US presidency make him look like a serious contender now.

Camp old twat, I was in stitches LOL

Rowan Atkinson as potential President reminds me of a previous President.

Atrocious proofreading regarding the That’s life sketch. As the script said: “On February 19th their son was rushed to hospital with appendicitis and two days later on the 17th February….”!

Back when Britain was a safe place I was lucky enough to grow up in this era Playing out till dark with no worries Everyone new everyone up and down your street

God I love English comedy. I grew up in the southern United States and there just wasn't anything funny on the television back then so my brother and I would watch shows like this and monty python and of course Benny hill. Terrific!

Ahem - this is actually Series 3 Episode 1.

The funny thing is [well, the sad thing, really], that now at the end of 2023 THINGS ARE BACK TO BEING AS BAD AS THE 1970s!! Great show, still relevant after all these decades...

@9:15 Is that Donald Trump? 🤔🤣

2:14 " A british rail catering manager has been dismissed after he was caught loading a train with the more than regulation amount of sausage rolls" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'd take Rowan Atkins over all the other options for POTUSA right now.

On the first of August, nothing happened.

What would the NTNO'CN team make of our current clown world? They would have just stood there slack-jawed at the things we get up to today.

✌️🤠💥🌟🌀👍

Boring

Ah those were the days when things were actually funny.

"I like trucking" was filmed on an old UK three lane single carriage way, with the mid lane used for overtaking by BOTH sides. They've all been converted now... they were too lethal, too many oncoming cars crashed in the mid lane.

Griff corpsing at 19:39, hahahaha

Comedy gold should be repeated instead of Miranda and Mrs. Brown's Boys.

Interesting mention of Gorbachev some years before he got the top job

Wow, people really hate Carter & Reagan, don’t they?

“The typewriter ribbons in the ice box.” I love that the technology has changed but the jokes still work so well.

Wrong episode. This is series 3, episode 1, not series 2.

"Stolen more than enough bread rolls to get train rolled" 😆

They have missed out Princess Anne running over a hedgehog at the end of the trucking song

I remember this like it was yesterday. Priceless!

Drive in optician ! Nice!

21.25 the usual suspects

The That's Life rip actually foretold the kind of social age that would soon come where happenstance has to be somebody's fault... somebody preferably with money...that you can sue.

How innocent jokes became 100% reality.

Thanks to PC commies, woke loonies n fruitcakes running the BBC it has all but ended the golden era of British humour on TV !

The days of comedy when you could take the piss out of everything and everyone without anyone complaining but just LAUGHING HISTORICALLY 😃

Roland Atkinson has the ability to bend his head and face

The last funny comedy was the Office

No PC or anything just comedy

I do ball or oraersol

That anti-work sketch was no doubt written by a communist.

"insatiable hairdresser..." 😂

I was born in 1980 so was JUST a smidge too late to be able to watch this show but thanks to uploaders like this I can finally enjoy it as the Beeb never really repeated it as I think they thought it was too topical

thanks for uploading this

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCyZZ-oicifhLs

Personally I still love “Ball or Aerosol” if anyone remembers!

22.59! Classic Mr rubber-faced Atkinson! Just brilliant! Nearly 40 yrs ago but Pamela S exuding more class than any fame-hungry tart we’ve see on the box in the last 20 years!
