Fenella Fielding returns to the Morecambe & Wise Show

[@richardw64]

Fenella was such a good actor in this skit. Ernie's plays were world renowned. All 12 of them.

[@robertcotgrave5920]

What a wonderful lady,she always made me laugh, her voice was her trademark.

[@dingopisscreek]

Brilliant! Their shows were watched by millions. Christmas shows were the highlight of the festive season. Superb guests allowing themselves to be taken the mickey out of & more queueing to appear.

Well i agree they were very good but the highlight of the festive season for me was my Christmas dinner! 😋😜

A long way into the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, this has raised SO many tears on SO many levels. Comic genius, sorely missed.

[@racheldoesacrylic4089]

watching with mum and dad wow bring back so many things i had forgotten. it is amazing that we can look back and see our childhood favorites with a touch of a mouse//never would have believed how far technology has come// the likes of these great artists will never be seen again in life //thanks so much for uploading all these treasures x

[@coops1964]

Still funny in 2020, absolute comic genius. Oh and her voice, wow!

[@md7999]

Proper comedy.........timeless! Goodbye to the wonderful Fenella Fielding.........gone but never forgotten!

[@saturdayplayer2492]

So great to see again. Xmas wasn't the same without the specials. Xmas night everything stopped for them.

[@craigey1289]

Ahh bless, the lovely miss Fielding passed yesterday. Wonderful lady and will be fondly remembered by many. God bless.

[@alexc8209]

I love this episode/scene. Everything works so well here. I loved that Eric looked like my grandad too. He wore the same glasses, cardigans and similar hair.

[@chap666ish]

Bless you Fenella. Always beautiful, always clever, always funny. R.I.P.

Absolutely.

I met her once when I was busking around Ravenscourt Park area. She was absolutely lovely. Quirky and eccentric in real life too. X

Love love love these people. Thank you for all the good times.RIP 😪😪😪

[@dwad112]

Such sublime comedy acting played to perfection. Fenella is wonderful. She doesn't miss a beat & is on exactly the same wavelength as Eric & Ernie.

[@promerops]

Eric Morecombe comic genius - he gets more humour across in a glance than most other supposedly funny men can in a paragraph. As for Miss Fielding - words fail me! Thanks for posting.

I am in tears here I can't remember the last time I laughed this much! 😂😂😂😂 I am so glad I found all this on you tube! Thank you 🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@hugolindum7728]

That voice. Was it not caused by too much smoking?

[@simonramsay6080]

Hugo Lindum it wasn't just too much smoking; her voice was like a low murmur, it's just the way she spoke as an actress! Woman normally have very dry flat voices when they smoke. I've heard worse than her and I didn't even know if she was a smoker. She still lived to 90 anyway.

[@nickmorrell3559]

Miss fielding ...what a voice .....love her ...she'll always be my valaria watt ...

[@tcollingscollings9299]

The wonderfully breathlessly eccentric eye liner girl of the sixties....always fun to watch her light up any scene

[@tullochgorum6323]

Fond memories of Fenella Fielding. She hung around our house for a time when I was a kid - an adolescent's fantasy. I very stylish lady, though I mainly remember her extraordinary voice. I got the impression that she fancied my dad...

[@deanmartin6052]

Lucky you!!!!!

[@keegan773]

So fresh and funny. The characters, the teapot and the toaster. Classic.

[@deemdoubleu]

The toaster was pure magic and Eric's smile....

She was a terrific character and it's a pity she didn't do more film and television

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

She did lots, check her Wikipedia page.

[@nicksmith4361]

It was women such as Fenella that attracted this teenage boy to the older woman many years ago.

fenella fielding - fucking fantastic

"Where've you been?" "Perusing my synopsis." "Well, every man needs a hobby..." That's it, I'm dead.

"I don't know what she did to you that night but you had to push your bike home!" Fantastic!

[@frglee]

RIP Fenella. Unforgettable.

[@sarahholland1375]

Take your hand off his muffin!! I spat my tea out! Still funny after all these years. Fenella was the perfect vamp. I always think of her rocking that skin tight red velvet dress in Carry on Screaming.

[@lordeden2732]

Smoking hot!

[@deanmartin6052]

We all think of her in that!

[@atticusfinch8652]

This is series 4. ep.4, which went out on the 12th August 1970. Fenella would be 42 here, since her birthday was in November, and even at 10, I thought she was magnificent. RIP sweet lady.🌹

[@atticusfinch8652]

Andy Jones Thank you 🤓

[@fatbelly27]

What a wonderful voice she had

[@jshaers96]

I wonder if any of this makes sense to anyone outside of the UK. Let alone someone who didn't have English as a first language. You can't help feeling sorry for someone who can't understand why people laugh at something like, 'he's perused his synopsis'. Neither can I, but it's funny anyway. Gotta love Fenella and that treacly voice; she looks like she is having fun.

[@MrDaiseymay]

famous British inuendo an double entemndre. whereas today,, the full expression MUST be spelled out, and loses it's point.

[@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou]

@@MrDaiseymay I was out of the UK for 23 years (apart from a week or so every few years to visit family and friends) until February of 2018 when I returned to work in Leeds for six months. I've always thought of dry humour and double entendre as very British and it's a matter of pride that Americans never get my humour. Unless you say 'just kidding', they take everything at face value. Most of my colleagues at my job in Leeds were considerably younger than myself - mostly graduates who'd never worked full-time before. Their inability to get double entendre , innuendo or dry humour was baffling to me. I always thought these things were innate in British people. But apparently not. I do like a lot of current UK comedy, but it seems that we've lost something.

[@hugebartlett1884]

@@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou Not many people in this country can even speak coherently now,let alone appreciate humour. They mumble amongst themselves,and even the married couples I see mutter away as if they are afraid to actually say something. Texting has brought about an inability to communicate sensibly. And humour has to be spelled out and explained for people to understand.

Brilliant timing with the toaster! 🤣🤣🤣

[@AMikeOnLine]

1974.Picture the scene.Riding my shiny new 'Raleigh Chopper' on a sunny afternoon in the school holidays.I fell off it thanks to Fenella. I was riding allong without a care in the world. All of a sudden i began to daydream about her looks and her voice.A crash was inevitible.but i did'nt care. I ended up in someones front garden having veered off the road.! Covered in grazes and rose thorns stuck in my arms and legs..To this day i have never explained to anyone what really happened..Until now..!

[@johnfitzmaurice1364]

She was a superb woman!

[@theonlyantony]

I think this was from 1970. I used to bump into FF in Turnham Green. She wore a cape and beautiful boots. Always that smile - devastating, even in the 2000s.. She always said 'hello' and liquidised me.
