Just been watching Hilda & Jimmy Jewel in Nearest & Dearest. Brought back memories and then watched this video, well that topped it. What a laugh the comedies of old were. Brilliant. Xxx

[@ianthomas5955]

Yes, me too, on the Rewind Channel. I remember Nearest and Dearest first time around but I'd forgotten how brilliant it was. Hylda was the greatest comic genius the North of England ever produced and we are unlikely to see anyone as good again. Diane Morgan was also born in Farnworth, as was Hylda, so maybe it's something in the soil!

[@periperiman64]

Only way to describe this is pure British Comedy Gold. Absolutely hilarious.

[@colinclarke4285]

British comedy is no longer what it was...sadly

I know a lot of people have ridiculed this over the years - but I don’t think people get what they were trying to do at the time. What two GREAT ‘sports’ they were to do it - and it actually charted! I couldn’t stop laughing - especially the long verse where Hylda is getting all the words wrong as she sits Arthur in the Fairground Car! LOL

It's nice to know that Arthur Millard passed that toupee on to John Travolta. Passing the torch, so to speak... ;)

[@Sharon-cn6kx]

Fantastic comedy at it's best 🤣 pure quality

[@Snooooooooooopy]

Arthur Mullard used to always be at Highbury Station when I was on my way to school from King's Cross back in the early 70s. He was so polite and charming. And so very funny. Hylda Baker is hilarious, hugely under rated. She almost made me split my stitches after my appendix operation when I saw her on TV in the ward. I have this '45 - funny stuff!

[@SuperFerdie1965]

You had a narrow escape. Mullard was a monster who used to interfere with his own daughter.

[@ZlONIST_OCCUPlED_GOVERNMENT]

Millard was a dirty old pedophile who raped his own 13 year old daughter and caused his suffering wife to commit suicide .. he also beat his wife for years . Mullard was a horrible man.

Yes. The presenter was Roy North of Basil Brush fame.

[@flashtheoriginal]

And also "Get It Together" with Linda Fletcher. Think this is from that

[@ceceliaclarke9147]

This performance comes across as sweet and kind of nice. Even if this was intended and planned and performed as pure comedy, something pleasant and agreeable came shining through. Could be something about the man's facial expressions and postures. The raunch and aggression of the original version is gone, and this is about two people expressing affection for each other. I would like to thank the producer of this youtube channel. I have enjoyed this (Note: have never seen these two performers before. I'm contributing this comment from the US).

[@stephenogden5470]

Check out Hylda Baker!

[@nintendy]

Hylda Baker was MASSIVE in her day! You’d have been surprised how she was in real life; well made up, fur coats - lots of expensive jewellery and big flash cars, and yes; she actually had Toy Boys!! She got one a bit part in an episode of ‘Nearest and Dearest’ (not sure it aired in the States)

its really difficult to tell the difference between this and the Travolta/NewtonJohn version :-)

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

A grand total of £5 spent on the video, I see! And did Arthur and Hylda even hear the song before they recorded it?😮

[@14rnr]

£5 was a lot of money back then, I think £1.50 might be nearer the mark.

[@dr2stroke611]

Im not sure if they had even performed together before this. My guess would be that Queenie Watts was the first choice but she died just before this was made.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Dr 2Stroke yes! I’d forgotten he used to work with Queenie

Apparently Hylda Baker saw the Newton John/Travolta version of this song and thought that it was a cover of her rendition

[@david210560]

I'm sure Hilda (Nellie Pledge) and Arthur Millard would have done much better job in the big film version rather than Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Nellie Pledge is fantastic has Sandy with ONJ coming a poor second. Nellie Pledge looks too young for the part really. This is British comedy at its best and daftest. I wonder what our American friends think of this much superior version of "Your The One That I want" ? I doubt that they would understand the deliberate mispronunciation and double meanings to some of the words e.g. Meditate and medicate. Pure Hylda.
