‘She had more soldiers than Eisenhower’ Absolute class act. Cracked me up. ❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@andrewhargreaves1002]

How on earth did Roy Barraclough keep a straight face , these sketches take me back to my childhood , when Cissie and Ada’s were in abundance , Roy and Les portray them superbly 😂

[@lewissmith3896]

Glorious.

[@WarrenPeace007]

Sublime. Sadly I doubt if we’ll see comedy as brilliant as this ever again. The characters, the dialogue, the mannerisms are all so spot on and natural, it’s hard to imagine how this could have been scripted.

[@kimstaines759]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@allangilchrist5938]

The frightening thing is that when I was a child there were women who looked just like Ada.

[@lmiller5307]

Absolutely brilliant. My grandmother always mouthed words that were saucy. 👍

Silently mouthing words has an interesting history with older northern ladies. Apparently cotton mills where many of them worked when young were so deafeningly noisy it was the only way to communicate there. And as they could all read lips so well, it could also be used to discuss 'delicate' subjects in the street.

[@jdb7752]

TRUE THAT

[@britbyname3620]

Correct … my northern relatives ( female ) used to do it ! LOL

[@mroosie7488]

I Grew up in the northeast - and this is like watching my grandmother. The way she silently mouthed words 😂

[@frankgibirdi2636]

My own dear old mum was just like ada and Cissie, she would come out with all sorts of malapropisms and she worked in a cotton mill for some years in Lancashire so she would mee_maw as they called it because of the noisy looms and she did it when gossiping with her friends wherever she was

[@michaelburling]

Great to see more Cissie and Ada clips...pity the sound balance is not so good at the beginning, early Yorkshire Television! Thanks for posting.

[@garyfenlon5769]

I think you'll find that there were just as many Transvestites back then, but society was a lot harsher then and being discovered could end careers and destroy whole families. John Hurt as Quentin Crisp in 'The Naked Civil Servant' shows just how badly treated Transvestites and Crosdressers were. And if you've ever fancied seeing Roger Lloyd-Pack (Trigger) from 'Only Fools and Horses' dressed in drag you'll LOVE 'The Naked Civil Servant'!!!

[@wordscapes5690]

@@garyfenlon5769most people are unaware of gay culture. That is why they assume we all just popped into existence a few years ago just to annoy them.

[@DabblewithDesignerDiablo]

​@wordscapes5690 it's not that people believe it's something new but rather that these days we're expected to say that they're transgender rather than transvestite. Trandvestism is a deviancy and so shouldn't be in your face in the street. It's a world away from comedic impersonators or true transgender or just gay. It seems today we're supposed to believe that all the aforementioned are on par with eachother or interchangeable. Total nonsense.

[@leetylr]

Anyone know who the duchess was played by? Just wondered if he had ever played Lady Bracknell on the stage.

It's Julian Orchard 😉

It's depressing what passed for comedy in the past. Stupid, shallow drivel promoted by the beeb and ITV with a false laughter track

[@tomatenpaprika6323]

for the same reason Roy Clarke never watched his own sitcoms on TV. He said, it killed all the jokes and wits.

[@xr6lad]

And today? Afraid of offending anyone. Todays comedians are promoted not because they are funny but simply because they are woman or ethnic and E are meant to laugh simply for turning up on stage.

[@angie1243]

Miserable bugger. That's my granny you're talking about. Ada reminds me so much of my dad's mam (as we say in Geordieland).

[@jeremyripton]

The reference to a relation in Alwoodley....classic...it's posh..to use an anachronism... as Ada would say...
