BBC One - Putting Manners on Us

Etiquette expert William Hanson is on a mission to give us better manners. Comedian Jake O'Kane takes him on a tour of Northern Ireland to prove we get on just fine. But will William's ways win in the end?

"This is my life's work." I LOVE THIS GUY

[@BohemiVan]

So nice that someone is trying to drag the modern world out of the gutter.

[@HayGurlHay]

haha "This is my life's work."

[@shyshy8788]

This northern Irish woman, asked for help then rolling her eyes to the back of her head!! Gratitude much?!

[@kaileymercy7257]

I agree! I thought her attitude was nasty.

[@lisamcandrews8594]

This poor woman just keeps rolling Her eyes he’s giving good suggestions and she just keeps rolling her eyes

[@salerio61]

"you enjoy it more with a delicate rim" I almost spit out my coffee

[@calmir2667]

“Don’t talk with your mouth open.”

[@MauriatOttolink]

Didn't like this guy at first but I warmed to him pretty quickly. His wicked sense of humour is great!

[@timmyluo5975]

If everybody can have manners like this, the world will become a way much better place

[@mercedesloverbmw]

"I have thick skin, I write for the Daily Mail"

[@JulieWallis1963]

This man has such beautifully clear skin. Looking good Mr. Hanson.

[@nivedlaxsea8114]

First came across William when he did a bit with Chelsea Handler. His humor absolutely won me over. Anyone who can hold their own against Chelsea Handler is alright in my book.

[@shianne6243]

That mum is really upsetting...

[@user-gi2kq5iu5l]

It would be a pleasure to have William as a guest for dinner! The mother ...oh dear she is so stubborn especially about teaching her son to load the dishwasher. No foresight as to the 10 minutes extra in learning means tomorrow is her chance to relax as her son learns how to use the dishwasher!

[@saras.301]

I love manners because it is how we show others respect and help us to be more disciplined.

[@Jim1971a]

He’s not a family therapist. He is an etiquette expert.

[@Izzy_Gyrl]

Saw his video with Chelsea and I adore him. I had to take etiquette in middle school in America and I always loved it. Everybody thought I was crazy but I did have the title of best tea party host. My teas were legend!

[@thomasinns6971]

I like this gentleman.

[@prashanthga1771]

Conan O'Brien should do a remote segment with this guy.

[@anisafiqah47]

"please can i have the ball.." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[@kathconstance4684]

William, it's your sense of humour that makes you great - Love it!

[@pamperedgurl]

i wonder if lack of manners is the reason why we are in a selfish society?

[@EmVeeBeen]

What William said at 13:30 about the finger paralysis is actually true. STD like syphilis can cause nerve paralysis among other things.

[@Lucky4991]

I love how beautifully polished and powdered his face is!

[@lilbitibyker]

Truly enlightening as well as entertaining. The likes of William could very well save the world. He has my vote.

[@sunnyloves2304]

I really like this guy.

[@evabullamore584]

How wonderful to watch Mr Hanson working his magic. Etiquette was key when I was growing up and I was quite pleased that most of what William was saying, I already knew and followed in day to day living.

[@melflo4651]

Very mannered And well dressed Thanks William!

[@naivanmladic9404]

My Father would love you! I can't eat breakfast without him telling me that I'm doing something wrong, even though nobody else is there, it is 7 in the morning and he knows that I know how to behave when "I'm representing the family" which I take seriously! :)

[@JamesBrown-ij1px]

Thank you! YOU give me HOPE for the World! I ADORE you!

[@hiho9173]

I love this. What a great show. Manners is something everyone should learn, especially now a days when young people have absolutely no manners. This was also very fun, love the humor.

[@sandramullen7804]

Lol. His face when the boy was stirring through the end of the knife .. Lol😦😦😦😦😦😦

[@lilly18758]

I wonder what it feels like to be surrounded by so many people with poor manners. It must be frustrating. What I mean to say is that it is nice that some lucky people are taught one way or another, but the rest of them will sadly never have the same opportunity. Oh well, thumbs up to the lessons learnt as always!

[@emmafitzsimons5145]

God, I adore William.

[@60enterprises]

The whole world should watch this video, it shows the main manners a person should have

[@peacefulsoul8612]

“Oh, sugar!”

[@stefaniedoloreux1044]

"That's a half pint cause your English!" Oh how I miss the Irish humour (Canadian who lived in Cork and now in the UK). I think bringing William to Northern Ireland was great! Great replies in this :P

[@ralphcampbell1315]

Mr. Hanson your efforts are truly valiant bring proper etiquette and manors back in high Grace's . Proper manors and etiquette are craved deep within every human beings soul , it only needs a good coaxing too be brought to the surface where it will grow and flourish like a beautiful rose . Please don't pay the mockery any mind , we often mock what we don't understand . Most excellent work , cheers to you sir .

[@sallyjir4132]

I think you are amazing. Your humor and your class and elegance...just wonderful.

[@louisboon77]

17:00 I am so stressed about the random plates and glasses 😂

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

This show is so entertaining as well as informative... had me chuckling... funny thank you

[@annawan2518]

Love your etiquette William, I wish there was more of it.

[@cascharles3838]

Like a posh super nanny

[@JustMeNoOther]

This is very gratifying, grateful watching these videos, refreshing every week time to time, to forgetting a little bit the harsh education and manners that many people have those days. Life could be more much better if people just could have a good education and manners as well. Saying things directly, with education. The gentleman does not quit the valiant attitude. Or better: Politeness, does not remove the braveness.

[@aixag]

THE GUY’S LAUGH HAS ME DYING OF LAUGHTERRRR. HIS WHEEZINGGGGG-

[@neguin1352]

Thank you William, I have just by watching this video, learned a deeper side of etiquette's effect and importance, and from there I realized what is disturbing me at this moment within my family and how I should approach to solve this problem. Thank you very much William! I am a fan of you from Holland.

[@cameronfarroll3616]

How did the boy get up at 8:45, I'm expected to be in school at 8:30.

[@fillyjunior6729]

I do agree that etiquette and good manners are important but it depends on when and where is important. all in all, i loved this piece.

[@tanmai5785]

I love this show!

[@pinkmagicali]

We could all do with a lesson in manners and etiquette. First step...work out the difference between the two.

[@KrittikaKitty]

This show is absolutely hilarious 😄😃

[@Agherr08]

thank you Mr. Hanson, fun and instructive.

[@pace2911]

So adorable !

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

This was So entertaining!! Loved it!! Thank you for trying to bring manners back! It is SOOO needed!! Love you William!

[@maireadmaguire4589]

I think when William says manners he means etiquette really. Manners mean a different thing to most normal people.

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

The look at 3:01 is priceless!

[@bobsuruncle2088]

Oh that mother drives me insane. Tell them to get up and tell them proper! Oh my gosh, I would have them stand rank and file.

[@local_peanut]

He's so British, I cant xd

[@natalieb6193]

In America, if we had shared taxis, it would depend on what part of the country you were in if people talked to each other. In the North, probably not, but in the South, you'd be practically family by the time you got to your destination.

[@dianekirse2122]

It would make me very nervous to sit down to a meal with him but I do think proper manners need to be rejuvenated

[@mellowyellow532]

Literally sipping my tea metaphorically while watching.

[@madisonkay46]

Law D. Klimt can't be literally and metaphorically lol

[@jazminecobico5325]

You made me happy with this video.

[@Prairielander]

I'd love to bring William Hanson to the boreal forest in Canada and see how well he survives there.

[@kellysalvador3595]

More shows like this , please !!!!

[@kumindrawickramasinghe1727]

This is Gold!

[@sazhidasamadi]

Hello William. It's so nice to see your new video. Please make more videos about etiquette. Love it! Xx

[@lisamcandrews8594]

These two guys are a riot

[@rachelclark7782]

I’m from the south and we hold on to things like this more so than in other parts of the country. Last Christmas a relative brought their fiancé home to meet the family. She could not understand why when we see a funeral procession we pull off the road and wait on the curb until they have passed. Even if it’s an interstate.

[@huub1989]

My mission in life is to teach Canadians how to use a knife and fork simultaneously, not to hack at food with the side of a fork. Call me a snob.....I am one!

[@aysheafarag]

How do you share a taxi? What if you're going nowhere near where the other customers are going?

[@hismajesty40]

Excellent presentation!

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Love this!! Thank you

[@hismajesty40]

Absolutely excellent and professional education!

[@rebecca2401]

He is so great. Love him. I'm sure he can be a lot of fun. In his own way.

[@lindaclark5911]

This was fun thankyou!

[@diyorads]

Great one! 👏🏻💙

[@nickbarton3191]

Camp as Christmas, must remember that one!

[@MOI-qq8zc]

Omg!!! Love you!! Xoxo from Canada

[@cindym4679]

Love. More please

[@tobez9520]

This was actually really interesting to watch at 1:20 in the morning

[@BloxPhantome]

haha this chap is hilarious

[@chefsabbaa7896]

Poor William, he just leveled down like a commoner ha ha loved it, make more videos.

[@omegamelody6947]

I always remember Mr. William's vid about coffee.... grinder with an "e" hahaha

[@mssaarahn]

Sharing taxis is such a great idea! You can meet so many people but.... how does the fee work?

[@nathancorrigan755]

Saarah N It's £1-£1.80 per person depending on age and distance travelled

[@jordanfer98]

amazing video

[@MsLadyLilian]

that was fun to watch

[@blairashby7334]

So he’s Sheldon form Big Bang theory

[@Rohit-ny4lm]

I love it

[@Hachiko_459]

William is quite funny 😁

[@guitarlover302]

Generally people’s manners and behaviour are appalling ! Not only in restaurants , bars but also on the road People can’t seem to express themselves unless littered with expletives - despair 😩

[@Crystalheffan]

Hello William, this video was amazing and I wish I could get my family like that. I was wondering if I could possibly ask if you have any tips on how to this when you are not the parent? Thank you very much, Cryst

[@tesstess7005]

great program ,thanks.

[@NoudlePipW]

I want this show every day 😂

[@zoiek528]

When I watched 12':19'', my face got red....I mean what a gentleman you are to help people to put their manners on at different occasions, but they criticized you as "rude". No, I think they might to be a bit too fussy about it.=))

[@sameaston9587]

Sheridan Bucket if he actually stuck to a career. Mummy would be so proud!

[@AriRosieM]

We love tea.

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

Being of English aristocratic background I truly wish etiquette and manners were taught in the States. They are in the South and parts of New England but I'm afraid most Californians I have met know very little about simple etiquette such as how to take afternoon tea, or even which is the salad fork. Tragic.

[@marvinc999]

William obviously likes a challenge.............................(and he sure as hell got one here) !!

[@habiebiee1]

send william to usa!

[@bectinha]

I think her kids were nice to begin with, so it's easer to give better manners. I want to see those terribly rude kids getting a bit of manners.
