Used to watch this with in the early 70s every Saturday night with my beloved grandad 🥰

The brilliant Pat Coombs. Great comedy actress. God rest her soul.

[@andyhinds542]

The police stopping the drunk driver cracked me up! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnrider5701]

I remember watching this show on Saturday evenings back in the 1970s

[@irenabevans3411]

Just as hilarious now as when first shown on TV, Dick Emery was a genius of character's, sketches & general humourous comedy, great to see a blast from the past

[@joe-vl3nd]

Loved the show look how clean and beautiful Britain was then Bliss👍🇬🇧

[@Noneyabusinessok]

I am 57 and i remember watching DE when i was much much younger. Great thing about having 7 brothers and 6 sisters and parents who loved a laugh. Dont seem to make comedy now do they. Cant recall having a laugh at anything recently on the box.

[@14rnr]

I love this bloke's humour, he will always missed.

[@colmmeade1824]

Yes loved the character he played

[@mandytyers4481]

I loved Dick Emery , his characters. Were oh so different. But perfected beautifully .my fav got to be Honky Tonk , and the character the blonde girl, . Its hard to remember they're all the same guy . Still laughing after all this time .brilliant thank you .

[@johnhanson5943]

Great memories. My dad loved this. Thank you.

[@iap-ug3oy]

In the 1960s I worked at the Manchester hippodrome ,in Ardwick Green ..Dick emery was top of the bill,,,he took one of the girls that I worked with out to dinner….These T V shows were really great ,,no swearing ,just good old comedy..How I miss those fabulous days…Now is all bad jokes and filthy language..Sad..

[@LordEriolTolkien]

Can't get much more 1970's than this

[@leakoe3797]

Again stomach aches with absolute laughter. Cant beat the English sense of humour..

[@andyhinds542]

Not Scottish, Welsh, or Irish? Just pure English?

[@andyhinds542]

It's strange how Dick Emery who was very popular in the 1970s is pretty much forgotten about today. He used to be the chairman of the Airfix Modeller's Club.

[@ThatGaijinFella]

Used to love watching this when I was a kid! Nice to see all those old cars - some of which were new when I was a kid!

Jeepers, todays wokearama would have a fit, watching this! More please.

[@sumoody1325]

Thanks for the laugh ! Most unexpected. Just stumbled across you.

[@Steve-Cross]

My grandad met him in Parkstone or Bournemouth. Said he was a genuinely nice guy.

[@jonc4686]

Just fantastic, the old days, cant say boo to goose these days.

[@lindascarborough5551]

Yes. It's a Shame. I was bought up to laugh at ourselves too! Seen me through many a time.

[@charisse234]

Boo to the goose there I have said it!

[@Zodliness]

I once worked alongside Dick Emery on location at a Copperfield circus in Ongar Essex UK back in the seventies, he was as funny off camera as he was for the camera, but alas the production team gave us very little opportunity, having him on such a tight filming schedule. More than four decades on, I still think Dick Emery's unique kind of simplistic humour is difficult to reproduce and although many have tried, they've failed to make me roll around laughing until my guts hurt, like Dick Emery could. 😉👍

[@Hondanissanman]

That is a cracking scene at 1:15 with the chauffeur car and the police 😂 NICE 1.

[@lenwilkinson672]

Absolutely marvellous,all good funny offence meant or taken,racism was never thought off.Because it was all-in fun and not hate. Today sadly we can’t even laugh at ourselves.

[@iangascoigne8231]

Ah the good old days when we could engage in casual racism and white men could black up, because it was all in good fun. Instead of just admitting the humour was of its time.

And his movie as someone chased by the English mafia & protected by the Italian one was just as entertaining. Those were the days. Riding his Kawasaki Z1300 through a car wash was awfully hilarious when it came out shrunk.Kind regards.

The coffin sketch is just hilarious. If only Dick Emery was alive today what fun he could have with the stupidity of todays world.

Beautiful white England

[@Seminal_Ideas]

It's lather and froth of course, but the fact that it would be considered problematic these days by the self appointed pearl clutching arbiters of taste raises its value as historically valuable. Dick Emery honed these characters into well loved staples of seventies viewing. It seems so long ago now.

[@byronmills5952]

Maynard Williams playing the Hitchhiker - Bill Maynard's son.

[@RoughJustice2k18]

Is it? I didn't realize he was Bill Maynard's son. Cheers for the trivia point.😎

[@jetblack.7186]

Must take after his mother then.

[@johntaylor6345]

Watching Dick again here reminds me of Saturday night TV on BBC 1. The Dick Emery Show and the brilliant Steptoe and Son. Whole hour of the jewel comedy . The best of British comedy. In real life Dick liked the ladies. On television he was the best in the business. Both Harry and Wilfred were great but off camera they didn't like each other .

[@rodwilliams4170]

Used to watch this religiously

[@peterbamforth6453]

Brilliant a master of comedy sketches.

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Alf Garnett would have been impressed with Dick playing his acting part.

Absolutely mad cap, I used to love to watch Dick Emery back in the day when we weren't bothered with all this PC crap we have today. Dick was one of the funniest comedians on TV.

What makes the sketch so hilariously funny the way he's so well mannered if he shouted or ranted and raved it wouldn't have been so funny

[@rushshukla4636]

I loved these comedy shows. They should bring them back. Love Thy Neighbour also but the woke generation wouldn't approve would they? So glad I lived through an era where we could also insult each other without taking offence!

You mean that you could insult minorities without them taking offence, I doubt you were the one being insulted.

Admiral Nelson did not say,"Kiss me,Hardy!" The word he actually used was Kismet,referring to his premonition of dying that day and was the reason he had asked for his coffin to be prepared for his return.

[@garethbeare8741]

29:39 You're right, although there are a couple of possible perspectives, neither of contradict each other. One is that the 1970s are already quite long ago and will only become ever increasingly more so; all things date, including the comedy of Dick Emery. The other is that a pernicious and intolerant sociopolitical 'woke' ideology has arisen since the late 20th century, which would if let fully loose would suppress or destroy everything historically prior to the height of its own fever, whenever that may come.
