A BBC Pieces of (The Good Old Days) TV Series

[@birgittakarlsson3679]

I am Swedish and I used to watch this show, loved it then and still do. The only performer of today that I watch with the same pleasure is Max Raabe.

[@jeremyhaines3847]

Excellent The Good Old Days I sorry to say we will not a brilliant programs like this anymore I met Bernard Cribbons at the London Film Convention In 2019 he kindly signed his autograph for me which I still have

[@rboudville]

What good quality acts. Full of character and happy tunes.

[@vaslav030547]

We were so lucky those of us that that lived through this time. So many wonderful stars. and the GREAT DANNY LA RUE leaves me speachless. What can one say about this fantastic calibre? Still missed Dan!

[@HQBProductions]

Wonderful artistes with deep talent and great abilities. How sad that young people are now influenced by things like "The Voice" etc. We have lost so very much in the entertainment world during the past thirty years.

[@janetfarrington2093]

We need more of this ,tv is rubbish at the moment

[@ianhunter1221]

we need more like this now in these sad times

[@amybaker4654]

Thank you for sharing this,i loved this show and yet i was a child when it was shown.

[@mildred3513]

I was just a child too when I watched this, but I loved it then and ever since. So nice to see it now and go back in time for a short while.

[@WallaseyanTube]

Clips are from the last Christmas episode broadcast on the 24th December 1983.

[@cymrumbeth1977]

It's great to see this programme again, and Danny La Rue was superb, as always, but what a pity Leonard Sachs has been cut out. The Chairman was part of the entertainment, undoubtedly, majestically, magnificently introducing the acts, and chiefly, yourself!!!

[@extramite8]

Brilliant I hoped someone would download some of "The good old days" The BBC wanted their heads examining taking it off guarenteed huge TV audiences. The waiting list for tickets was about 12 years Danny la Rue showed what a fantastic performer he was watch him during the marrow song he new how perform innuendo.

[@thomascoyle3317]

lovely entertainment and beautiful songs

[@ShanaiCollins]

Love watching Danny la Rue :-)

[@coloraturaElise]

A perfect day to have the divine Valerie Masterson sing "A Perfect Day"!

[@markhouse578]

[@thegallerian]

Class. Thanks.

[@eddielew7420]

Robert White is divine. And Danny LaRue is too, in his/her way.

[@unclelouie3828]

LOVE IT.

[@gringewilp]

He is Robert White, who had a great affinity with the Irish songs so beloved of John MacCormack. My late mother adored him, but, sadly, I could never listen to him without wishing it was MacCormack singing.

[@DavyMK]

First up is Bernard Cribbens, lately seen as Wilf Mott, a companion of Doctor Who! Also played Mr Perks, the station porter in the Railway Children movie.

[@Cool2BCeltic]

Interesting. Mr Perks talked about the station master going to Leeds for a haircut. But Mr Perks was a railway porter by day and he went through to Leeds to perform in the music hall by night.

[@vincentneale2620]

Pity the BBC don`t put shows like this anymore

[@indyandnorbert1]

+vincent neale The Good Old Days BBC 4 Dec 4th 2015 Les Dawson and again next week Frankie Vaughan 11th Dec

[@deggaredwards69]

Bernard Cribbins eh....a Class act

[@mazda1942]

Poor Danny fluffs his line at 13:56. But... what a great performer.

[@IrwellPete]

OMG! They've cut out the best bits, the compare

[@AlisonWAmes]

even at their best (!) no US variety show could have had anything this witty. Arthur Godfrey? Ah: perhaps Rowan and Martin!

[@TC1931]

thaks for these wonderful shows. would it be possible to increase the volume?

[@Yasmin-hk1wu]

The day you uploaded this I was 5 years old and now I’m 13 now guess what year I was born on?

[@DavyMK]

The credits roll at about 27' 20" if you want to know names of artistes.

[@Duncanforbeshendry]

This is great who sang Maggie. Wonderful voice .? Great show

[@7554EdwardG]

American tenor Robert White sang "When You And I Were Young, Maggie" and "The Old House". He was a regular and very popular guest on the show and a sublime master of the old Irish ballads. This CD is a superb collection of his Irish ballads, although these two are not included. Low priced copies abound on ebay and it is a magnificent album. www.amazon.co.uk/Favorite-Irish-Songs-Princess-Grace/dp/B000008M8U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517700005&sr=8-1&keywords=robert+white+irish+songs

[@sammavacaist]

Everything about this makes me want to listen to the Dead Kennedys for about an hour. At least the tap dancers were real black men instead of white people in blackface I guess. The only reason I know about this show is I recently became a John Inman fan through discovering Are You Being Served? Through him I learned about Danny La Rue.

[@prben2]

At least back then telly was entertaining and watchable, unlike the celebrity obsessed pose fest shite of nowadays!

[@heinrichdorfmann4349]

truly bizarre programming from the BBC, OMG what were they thinking of ?

[@amybaker4654]

Heinrich..this show was filmed at a theatre in Leeds that specialised in replicating Music Hall shows and the audience came in costume,there was a long waiting list to see the show such was its popularity.Music Halls were common and the main entertainment venue for the working class before cinemas.

[@7554EdwardG]

They were thinking people will love it and they were right Heinrich!

[@sammavacaist]

The fact that it was apparently so popular (something I just learned) explains a lot about how BREXIT happened.

[@Wizard-uo4wj]

danny la poo utter rubbish a one trick pony

[@LarsCarlsen-or6ky]

Robert White. Hunter College grad. brilliant and talented,,,,
