[@hevans2110]

Fast disappearing London culture. Amazingly talented and underrated.

[@neillagden5987]

I really feel that Chas, Dave and Mick completely overlooked through the years. Remarkably talented. Highly entertaining and having met Chas and Dave true gentleman..... absolutely gutted at the passing of Mr Hodges an incredible musical genius and leaves behind his best mate 😢

[@capturedlondon]

It looks like it’s recorded in a studio... up the audience are clearly drinking real alcohol!

[@Tillers-ox8ml]

It was a purpose built studio at LWT, real beer though! This is quality, Albert Lee...brilliant

[@rangersasc]

fuck i wish i was in that pub

[@yikes1910]

RIP Chaz Hodges

[@gingercat555]

The lyrics are so true in there songs, so glad to see this show this year 21/12/16 on channel 5, even if it was edited as now days as the freedom of speech has long gone from this country.

[@98.65]

Good to see this again even though it is the "censored" version. Like him or loathe him Jim Davidson was in this show but the PC brigade decided to cut him out. He was in the original version on TV in mid eighties.

[@JanKittyClifford]

do you know where I can buy a copy on dvd ?

[@paulhallows5498]

Does anyone know how to contact them? please help.

[@TheQ-Continuum]

Albert Lee - finger picking hot !! Diamond Gals and Geezers all round. Some of them even look like East End villain types !! Where was Jim Davidson ? I want a hat like the one that Mickey Burt wears !

[@zippybanana2691]

All of London ... not just East End.

[@greatwhiteshark9192]

Im sure the drummer from the rolling stones in crowd..cant remember his name..charley??

[@bollywayne14]

Hi mate. Do you happen to have the version with Jim Davidson on it?. Or do you know if it's even on KZbin?

[@13thcentury]

No Jim Davidson and Cosmotheka?

[@geoffcollins2094]

London pre blair..a nice place to visit.. Its a shi$ hole now

[@paulquinn858]

Absolutely spot on, so sad.....

[@alanreilly5162]

Why was jim Davidson cut out,was it because he was doing chalky,oops you can't say anything anymore with offending someone SAD.

[@stevecarter2876]

It was all going so well until Jimmie Cricket took the stage!

[@alexcrowson5750]

[@TheKonga88]

Steve Carter It was all going well until Chooza Valaxiazoog came on😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
