Breakneck Heartbreak - Cathy Come Home

[@leigh6417]

You’re so damn good at what you do, please don’t stop. KZbin just wouldn’t be the same without you. I hope 2020 is good one for you. Merry Christmas!

[@Ciborium]

Merry Christmas and Happy Shakira!

[@smcumber]

Merry Hiptang

[@wanderinghistorian]

That'll be the Hiptang!

[@LtSprinkulz]

No

[@silverspike1]

These bite size segments are the best idea you've ever come up with imo. They all made riveting yet informative viewing . Happy Christmas! :D

[@Wallyworld30]

Amazing the BBC didn’t record over this like they did early Dr. Who episodes!

[@asleep909]

That'll be the Hiptang!

[@easyandy2405]

I think one of the most interesting things about Ken Loach's directing style is that so many of his earlier films have such a direct almost documentary style to them, and it was incredibly evident in so many of his TV plays where they felt so much like a documentary and one particular movie that I watched was his adaptation of 'Up the Junction' which even had segments of people talking directly into the camera. It's strange as to how much he's evolved as a film-maker where there's still a very distinct element of social-realism to his dramas but there's a lot more intricate ways in which he invokes those feelings, and I think that it's pretty telling as to how much he's evolved from his teleplays to even his early theatrical films like Poor Cow and Family Life, where although there's still a heavy element of social-realism a lot of the directing style feels constrained and still focusing moreover on presenting underlying systemic issues in a way that's palatable. It's less direct than his teleplays but the elements are still as effective.

[@shanewright2772]

You're absolutely right about the pace, especially as it comes into the final act - it's moving not only beyond Cathy's control, its moving beyond your control. Harrowing is exactly the word - and it is a harrowing that stays with you,always in the back of your mind, having seen it.

[@kyleno4mk27]

One person in the housing council disliked this

[@LtSprinkulz]

I disliked because I'm already subbed and dont want his vids overtaking my recommended section.

[@s.sradon9782]

"Thank god this problem no longer exists in britain" best joke I've heard all day.

[@rogfusionkid]

I was looking for a comment on this, where the hell has that guy been the last few decades?

[@karlmall]

​@@rogfusionkid -I am not a native English speaker and even I understood the ironic undertone and the accompanying facial expression. Didn't you?

[@Springamatul]

I think the same too.

[@Krzyszczynski]

Quite so. There are far worse ones in its place.

[@balleet210]

The quality of your content per tang is incredible.

[@gregorywhittaker1502]

Thanks for the posts! I always get excited to see a new video from you, hear your insight and dry humor.

[@sebastian1236669]

Happy Shakira to you as well Georg!

[@MrMaxcorbel]

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains and shalom to us all.

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

My dad told me Cathy Come Home changed tv forever.

[@rowanc88]

I assume you went to tell Andrew you couldn't be friends anymore, and that's why you stayed for thirteen days

[@trevorjones8969]

Yes. A brilliant piece (as is much of Loach's work). I believe the film contributed to a change in housing policy at the time.

[@MicaelSG23]

Loved the hip tang series 2.0. Hope to see you before a few many months.. Merry Christmas, mate! Much love from Brazil.

[@georgebennett1242]

"Thank God those problems no longer exist in Britain." Spot on. Merry Christmas, Georg.

[@hellhammerCCCP]

This is the kind of media archeology i sub for

[@madsmm]

I'm in awe of the variety and insight in this series.

[@TruckerJenkins82]

Of course it was Tony Blair, he doesn't like pizza.

[@HassanSra]

huge fan of ping pong though

[@jimd385]

Great vid, heartbreaking subject. I’m missing the glow of the lava lamp, guess I’ll have to soothe my nerves with a shot of Hiptang

[@deborahgihawi649]

It still is a hit in the face events. I’ve been a social worker, mental health community worker, psychologist, for 49 years.

[@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321]

Bless you Georg. Perfect choice for the Xmen season. Peace and goodwill to all men.

[@78deathface]

Have a good holiday season, Georg. You make some of the best and most interesting videos on this platform, I hope you continue to make them in 2020 and many years to come. Cheers 🥂

[@clairepeace5783]

I remember this in the 1960 s I was a little girl and this frightened me as a loved adopted child x

[@JessicaRainey970]

I honestly wouldn't mind if you did an entire little series, or maybe a longer video, talking about British TV plays. Several of my favorite British films are TV plays, several of my favorite British filmmakers and actors started out by making TV plays (my favorite, Alan Clarke, made them almost exclusively), and quite a few of the older British films I most want to see - such as this one - are TV plays. Its such an interesting phenomenon to me, and right up your alley since you like to talk about both the artistic merit of movies and the industry that produces them, and both angles would be absolutely fascinating in this instance.

[@Skaitania]

"Thank god those problems no longer exist in Britain" Cue perfect awkward pause while hiding from a prince in a wardrobe.

[@Wendelvendel]

I absolutely adore that you made this on this

[@emmadunhill9779]

It's come full circle we are having those problems

[@jrightly]

Thank you for making this series, what a wonderfully eclectic set of choice media. Keep up the stellar work. And does hiptang really work?

[@78deathface]

Shaun Jones Hiptang cured my dropsy (but gave me shingles)

[@handsomebrick]

Only her hairdresser knows for sure.

[@ross4814]

After a day of binge watching you I'm thrilled to see a video come out at the very end of my evening. Like you planned it all that way. Excellent work. Merry Xmas.

[@stevesmith9404]

excellent,thank you things never change.....

[@Alex-cw3rz]

"Thank God those problems no longer exist in Britain...."

[@bobbobson110]

Thank God Britain no longer exists. Happy BreXitmas!

[@Intestine_Ballin-ism]

Greetings from late 2020 I guess

[@paulinefromfulham]

those problems still do happen

[@kennethhodges3187]

The parting shot of this film 'Thank God these problems don't exist anymore' seems to overlook the crisis in housing that exists today. Council houses have been sold off and not been replaced. Waiting lists for housing have become ever longer, and we are not building houses that are needed at an affordable price! Seems to me we have not learnt very much since this film was made and moreover, this present Government shows no sign that they even care!

[@christinecox8073]

I agree with you there

[@LivWildStyle]

Thank you for keeping it real.

[@erniemendoza36]

Well, I got some required viewing for the next couple of weeks. Thank you good sir.

[@waterandafter]

Happy Shakira! The hiptang don't lie.

[@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321]

^winning comment

[@blackops2541]

Im gonna miss these 😭😭

[@foxyshabazz]

That was Ray Brooks, wasn't it? He was the narrator of Mr. Benn. I loved Mr. Benn.

[@WebertHest]

Ken Loach never pulls punches, does he?

[@pablobronstein1247]

Ahhhh, the mood is set for the holidays.

[@pepelucho1751]

Missed you Georg. You shed light on our decaying world. When God died, it barely made the post.

[@MrMaxcorbel]

86? Shun housing? That'll be the Hiptang.

[@jessuh7500]

Just ordered all the Ken Loach BBC films from the 60s. You make me very curious.

[@christianbasehart4767]

"That's all I have for today. Go away now!"

[@lazarus30001]

Happy Christmas Georg.

[@rashadpreston7389]

Merry Xmas you righteous man.

[@thisaccountisdead9060]

Well, at least they've stopped pretending to care. That'll be the HipTang. Merry HipTang.

[@LividImp]

I just now got that this has been an advent calendar of reviews. Sometimes I'm a little slow.

[@hatuletoh]

This is the funniest analytical channel on yt. Or is it the most informative comedic channel? Shit...how much is too much hiptang, and what are the symptoms again?

[@christinenicholson1009]

As if these problems no longer exist in Britain!!!!

[@FunnyGorillaHaha]

All I got in my stocking was a jar of hiptang >:(

[@Cunnysmythe]

And you're disappointed?!

[@FunnyGorillaHaha]

@@Cunnysmythe where there was one I wished there were many

[@ultrademigod]

Ken Loach hands-down made the best version of Superman.

[@brendanward2991]

Happy Midwinter Thing, Georg.

[@speedingatheist]

Thanks for not forgetting us evil dudes... ;)

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

Name dropping? That'll be the Hiptang. Merry Whatever, folks.

[@garyhunt8067]

The most shocking scene I think is when the manager hears a complaint and was reported in the papers of the conditions of the hostel. The way he talks to Cathy and tells hers that the kids are more important than the parents.

[@lacrimatorium]

Georg do you get trouble from the copyright folks? Merry Christmas to you.

[@lacrimatorium]

@Arbiter Lite I understand that. But that doesn't stop the weaselly bots and greedy souls from being annoying.

[@barlotardy]

Hiptang bless us, each and every one!

[@aarondutil3077]

I ordered some Hiptang as Christmas stocking stuffers for family members. They were quarantined at the border for having "too many radioisotopes." Should I not be consuming it?

[@RISE-327]

I always come here for an uplifting euphoric feeling ,the same way you feel when the ''woman'' you took home last night reveals her scarf was to hide her Adams apple , i'll never fall for THAT 4 times in a row! HipTang, better than a Hip...wang!

[@Justin_WithThreeDots]

I went into my local AutoZone for some Hiptang and when I asked them where it was in the store they looked at me like I was crazy. Is there some way I can order it by the case direct from a distributor?

[@euansmith3699]

I understand that it is now only available from Woolworths and Blockbuster.

[@IamtheNoodleGirl]

3:00 The mothers confront at the Angry Matron

[@Kousaburo]

Can't find Hiptang anywhere!

[@LordmonkeyTRM]

Hiptang! It doesn't work if you skip a day.

[@briannicholls3568]

I'vee been waiting outside Woolies for ages to get my Hiptang, could do with a broom inside.

[@euansmith3699]

Thank you for a genuine laugh out loud.

[@JonnyUnforeseen]

I give this 4 hiptangs out of 5

[@Dublinireland5]

This film Cathy come also related to the Irish and the coloured people that came to England they was treated in the same way sometimes much worse but they never put coloured people or Irish people in the film when they made it I think they should have done...

[@Hyperbeamification]

Hiptang is extremely dangerous when exposed to a naked flame. Or any nakedness. Happy New Nakedness!

[@mheermance]

I wish I understood what the hiptang. Is it a joke, an obscure reference? Who is the smiling person? Did the hiptang make them smile?

[@euansmith3699]

You think that the Hiptangman smiles? Interesting. That'll be the Kuleshov Effect.

[@therocketboost]

Hark the herald hiptang sings

[@OMGxITzxEAxLazloo]

sadly this problems came back to Britain with all prices rises and no help from government we heading in that direction full speed

[@janedoe3043]

How can you see this now?

[@vickiesmith3165]

what in the world is hiptang? serious question. hope at least one person gives serious answer. okay, I just looked closely at the writing and i'm sure itd just a joke. so now if someone can just tell me when and how the joke started. thanks in advance.

[@takashiari1598]

I think it started last year in this same series as some sort of parody of annoying tv ads. From what I can tell, the joke is that no one really knows what Hiptang is, but its praised anyway in advertisement

[@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321]

What's hiptang? It's kind of like a workout for your brain gym. It's like a mental multivitamin. It really helped me to refocus myself and pay attention so I can do my job betterer.

[@_-KR-_]

Hiptang is clearly a zesty salsa with a hint of sardine and lime

[@sarahhopkins577]

is it possible to view the whole movie any where?

[@karlmall]

It's here on KZbin.

[@miniwizard]

If only the HipTang wasn't so seasonal!

[@VinceLyle2161]

Holy Hannah! Geoffrey Lewis?

[@AQuietNight]

Will Georg get to see the light?

[@nicky2591]

Omg all i eant to do is watch it grrr

[@funghazi]

Wild how the people who saw it decided to make everything even worse. Gotta have those tax cuts.

[@habeebdurdana3196]

[@andrewlawless9796]

i think he lives in America. however, i'm a Brit in England and i dont sleep lol

[@chinafox1949]

No we spread out all over the world to fool you into thinking we never sleep.

[@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321]

You know what they say; the sun never sets...

[@coffeezombie244]

Were you afraid that people just don't get depressed enough during the holidays? Good piece but jimney gosh darn cricket you could of chose something slightly less wrist cutting.

[@elbarto6668]

🎄💯

[@JEKAZOL]

Hiptang is typical middle class hipster humour: It doesn't mean shit.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

The idioms and manner of speaking in those days were affected by the Hiptang.

[@rev68]

You left out pasta.

[@tinymetaltrees]

Happy Shakira ona and all!

[@Arkantos117]

I'm beginning to feel that you were never in a closet, but rather the corner of a room!
