I've seen this many times before and it still makes me laugh. Thank you Jeremy for the the years of smiles and rest in peace

[@rm_con]

This show reminds me of the smell of my mums hairspray, the hairdryer going and sitting in front of the fire in the 90’s while my mum and dad got ready to go out. I would watch this every weekend with the babysitter when my parents went out and I loved it

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

Oh godddddddddddddddddddddddddddd, You took me on massive memory trips, my mums hair sprayyyyy, I had forgotten all about that, the place stank of it lol Her hair style as well lol and my dad putting his suit on to go out, watching tele, whinging about school on monday and my mum doing my home work at around 11pm on a sunday night after I finally revcealed I had some and no idea how to do it, my dad moaning about the marbles and other crap me and my brother left out all over the place, having to be dead quiet when eastenders was on, just millions of amazing things. Man I miss them days so much that it actually hurts but also makes me smile so hard to remember way back then, its very strange

[@rm_con]

@ me to bro I miss them so much. I remember watching heart beat on a Sunday night knowing that when it ends I had to go to bed because it was always an early night ready for school Monday. As soon as the heartbeat track came on I could feel my dads eyes on me which meant bed time 🤣🤣 kids today have no idea how great the 80’s and early 90’s were as a kid

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

@@rm_con We can tell them and tell them and tell them until we are blue in the face and we cannot possible them any more, and still tell them more, yet they will never ever know just how amazing it was to grow up in the 80s and early 90s as a kid. Music, people in general, family, tv, movies, places, everything. Playing outside, I mean fk me there must have been 50 of us at times outside playing skate boards, football, curby, ready or not hide and seek and a million other things, now days I look outside and I can honestly say I do not remember the last time I saw a group of kids happily playing outside, it is crazyness. Even in the house, oh god we had it all. Rushing home from school to watch cartoons, watching things as a family. Video shops to go get tapes lol Man, from a little kid through to my teens in the 90s, everything was the best!! We do not say it because we were young and so of course it was better IT WAS ALL BETTER, no matter what age you were, we were just lucky we were young and grew up through it

[@nezbit8989]

The council man with the clip board is the dating agency man from only fools and horses on the episode dates! When Delboy says he’s called Derek Douval 😂

[@pearljam619]

The actors/actresses were amazing at thinking on their feet every prank was done beautifully.

[@trotterbruno6570]

5:06 brilliant line....classic rubbing salts in the wounds to wind it up even more.... great upload. had seen this on another site only recently. how many layers did he want to take off showing he was up for a bit of fisty cuffs. he wasn't joking either. they didn't half rush Beadle in quick when they could see he was ready to hit out.

Been watching these clips over the past few weeks and crying with laughter. Great days

[@softlystrollreclaim]

Brilliant, clever and hilarious manipulation of group dynamics and the human condition. Jeremy was the brains behind it all and as can be seen here - he steps in at the perfect moment. This stuff won't be seen again in our lifetimes at the very least and his show is much missed. I got his autograph towards the very end of his life as he was sat outside a cafe in Burton on Trent and he was a gentleman. Watch Out! he wrote.

[@jasonread1746]

I wonder what Beadle was thinking as he was running down to the house? Something like ‘I better get down their quick before hell breaks lose’

[@coecludd]

I agree. He knew the situation was going out of control.

[@stevearno100]

shame Beadle died so young ( late 50's ) - he was a good entertainer beadles about was excellent - you could not do this program nowadays 50+% of the pranks would probably lead to a fatality

[@pmacc3557]

A hardy man! Goid and strong and fit for his age. Best way to be!

[@JAY1892]

I miss the 80’s, I was growing up and times seemed so much better and safer. Used to love watching Saturday night TV. Beadle was class and if you’ve never seen the ‘UFO’ prank, it’s a fricking classic and I think it’s on KZbin. “Would you like a cup of tea.” 😂

[@MrNifts]

Yep, Loved growing up then, there seemed to be much more respect around then

[@JAY1892]

@@MrNifts Yes Sir. I’m guessing we’re of similar age (50’s), there was more respect, we had a healthy fear of the police, teachers and other adults. I know every generation says ‘kids these days’ but seriously, kids these days are feral, mannerless gits. I’m generalising but hope you get my drift. We had our innocence and were quite happy watching Big Daddy batter Giant Haystacks followed by beans in toast and a slice of Batternberg. I’m glad I’ll be six feet under when the sh*t really hits the fan. Moan over. 😂

[@MrNifts]

@@JAY1892 Agreed. You used to get a clip round the earhole for being a pain in the ... and it was usually deserved, You took it on the chin, didn't go running to police etc and if you told your parents if someone else done it they usually gave you one as well lol.
