Hadleigh (1976) Series 4, Ep 13 - "Broke" (with John Woodvine) Full Episode, 1970s British TV Drama

[@markrollinson2257]

A smart operator like Hadleigh would have made sure he had his own copy of the letter.

[@ange9663]

Like to see Michael Aldridge in anything he was a fabulous actor. Thank you x

[@Milton1079]

A gem of a series, superbly written, directed and acted. Congratulations to the many wonderful British actors who appeared in it, especially, of course, the peerless Gerald Harper.

[@williamdodds1394]

Gerald Harper also acted in Tunes of Glory with Alec Guinness and John Mills about a scottish regiment 1960.

[@richardclarke376]

He's so relieved at the end.... he doesn't have to pay back all that money and nor does he have to get a job!! "Break out the champagne Sutton - the Dom Perignon '45!". All in all I did like this series particularly the later ones when they were able to get out of the studio

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

Serves the bank right,after all they print the money out of thin air.

[@mbluetraining]

It was a brilliant series. The actors - the scripts - The whole nine yards! It really was the best of 'British' drama. That they would make such drama in the modern World! Thank you for the uploads!

[@jfmorty]

A shame that it's all over, Fridays will not be the same. Thanks for sharing. The Travelling man is worth watching as well. next up Floodtide

[@bisedwards6985]

What a surprise to have found tis get from the 70s....Thank you!!!

[@Topshaman-pk2rx]

A really great episode. Such a shame that it's the last one. I've really enjoyed this series. I've been looking forward to watching this on a Friday evening. I suppose I could watch them all again now. 😃

[@FoogouFilms]

Well, funny you should say that. The Friday following next week's Hadleigh documentary I'll be uploading all those episodes from Series 1 that aren't already on my channel - so it will be a one-stop-shop for Hadleigh, as it were. Even though another channel does have these up already. A couple more suggestions - If you're not aleady familiar with them - are Travelling Man kzbin.info/aero/PLqNtRu979pKELTSu2AyMm1-EYrH-Fp_O0 and Floodtide kzbin.info/aero/PLqNtRu979pKFH5x4eE-stpyYmXHohVX6X

[@Topshaman-pk2rx]

@@FoogouFilms That's great, thank you. I've just watched the first episode of Floodtide; I'm hooked.

[@FoogouFilms]

@@Topshaman-pk2rx Great stuff. "Hooked" appropriate in two more senses for this series!

[@johngibson3837]

Hey up Foogou Films thanking you for posting this wonderful series mate

[@batmandestroys1978]

I wish the writer, had wrote in this final episode, James proposing to Stella after he won and she accepting! Their chemistry was absolutely exhilarating! I loved it!

[@7Cherubim]

I'm so pleased it ended that way! Silly it's only a story, but it made me so happy for them all.

[@davidfogarty2220]

I must admit the financial manoeuvring went over my head, but it certainly didn't take away the drama of the distressing situation for Hadders. The clinical way he was stripped of his assets, leaving him with £20 in his wallet, was particularly affecting.

[@jetblack.7186]

I’ll probably start again now from the beginning of the series.

[@jmaudsley6544]

The best thing about having the memory span of a goldfish is that S1 Ep1 is what's on for me next Friday and off we go again. Big fan of your work Fougou. Thanks for posting.

[@FoogouFilms]

You can certainly watch Ep 1 on another channel next Friday, though I'll be uploading all Series 1 episodes that I haven't already put up from the following Friday - as next Friday there is the 2009 Hadleigh documentary featuring Gerald Harper + other cast, produceers interviewed. Cheers.

[@jmaudsley6544]

My bad, I look forward to the documentary and I'm watching the commentary version of yesterday's episode tonight.@@FoogouFilms

[@FoogouFilms]

@@jmaudsley6544 I'm afraid there's a problem with the commentary version; another subscriber pointed it out. I uploaded it with narration, but for some reason isn't compatible with KZbin's requirements, so only the regular soundtrack could be heard - frustrating for all concerned. I haven't been able to find a technical fix as of yet. Sorry about that.

[@jmaudsley6544]

Hey you've already made us all v.happy to be able to watch this again so cheers to you

[@cleech9450]

That was marvellous, but I no longer have fingernails - I actually had to skip the scene where poor James had to hand over his wallet...thank you for posting this terrific series. I hope you're not going to be snowed in in the Marches, as my family and I frequently were - I have vivid memories of helping to rescue snowbound lambs on our neighbouring farm. Looking forward to more like minded posts.

[@FoogouFilms]

No snow, only snowdrops so far this winter here in the Marches. Though last winter there were a few days when the lambs were huddled up against trees. Cast ne'r a clout til May is out, though. I veer towards that meaning the may blossom though rather than the month itself. Cheers for your comment.

[@carolinehoward180]

OMG what a FANTASTIC episode!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@bettinabarry8423]

Wonderful ending! Wonderful series! Wonderful KZbin channel ❤ Thank you for posting the series!

[@FoogouFilms]

Many thanks!

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

A brilliant end to a great tv series.

[@grahamhill9499]

Well done foogou you have made me enjoy a Friday, thank you

[@FoogouFilms]

Cheers!

[@montorae1]

Loved the series and hated to see it end. Im going to have to go back and watch Gazette now.

[@Rosalind-qw1yr]

Wonderful to watch even after all these years. Elegant , well acted by all , lovely costumes and sets . Fabulous

[@squirehaggard4749]

I read a spoiler somewhere that mentioned that the series ended with Hadders bankrupt, so I approached the end of this great series with mixed emotions. So it was a genuine thrill to see him safe at the end (even if yet another relationship went plug-hole). Many thanks for posting all these. Great stuff. Harper was first rate. You should post Adam Adamant Lives! now. 😂

[@FoogouFilms]

Gripping to the end. If I see a Adam Adamant Lives! going cheap, I'll investigate.

[@batmandestroys1978]

@@FoogouFilms I want them make one more episode, with James Norton playing Hadleigh! getting married to Stella Clisby! I cannot find a woman to play her! Perhaps Keira Knightley!

[@JebleKT]

Thank you , Thank you , for posting that series , Yorkshire television’s first production .? So theatrical. 4acts & lots of good actors .

[@FoogouFilms]

Not sure what the first Yorkshire Television production was, but here's the Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV_Yorkshire

[@jackiemcnairn3594]

❤️💙💚💜🧡🤍awww,I could cry……..this has ended!thank you so much for reliving memories!

[@FoogouFilms]

If you haven't already, you could check out James in the prequel series Gazette - it's up on KZbin.

[@VanillaSky-he4ty]

superb actors. just lovely. Thank you so much for uploading.

[@nonconformist.]

Thank you. A personal favourite, for good reason.

[@marinedrive5484]

Michael Aldridge playing the role of the bank chairman (I think) was a great character actor and certainly played his role as a bit of a bounder to the hilt in this episode.👍

[@davidfogarty2220]

A fine actor. He played a similar role as Percy Alleline in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

[@squirehaggard4749]

It’s too bad they didn’t bring back Richard Vernon (the missing, incapacitated chairman) in person for this episode. He and Aldridge were together in The Man in Room 17. In any event they sort of bookend the 4th series. Both are favourites of mine.

[@ange9663]

Agree also the Fellows (formerly of room 17)was a good series.

[@karmelicanke]

He played the attorney Sir Abraham Haphazard in the TV mini series, Barchester Chronicles.

[@jeanfrench2936]

Hello! This is a great channel i have subscribed.

[@FoogouFilms]

Thank you!

[@rachelmayes298]

Argh, why did I read the comments before watching? What are we going to watch now? It’s such a shame it’s ended. What am I going to do now on my Fridays? Thank you ❤

[@FoogouFilms]

Well, at least next Friday you can watch the Hadleigh documentary with Gerald Harper.

[@rachelmayes298]

Oh I can’t wait. Thank you 🙏

[@Ubique2927]

Why on earth did they cancel the show? It was set up for a whole new lease of life!

[@FoogouFilms]

I think they might mention that in the Hadleigh documentary I posted.

[@aryandefenseleague8243]

Hadleigh!!!!

[@ShaunLowthian]

Shame it ended, I would have liked to have seen him become an MP, then PM and marry Jane Merrow.😁

[@buffys3477]

I love a sort of happy ending. He’s got the house but unfortunately not the girl.

[@davidfogarty2220]

Perhaps the only woman in Hadders life is Aunt Helen?

[@carolinehoward180]

The girl wasn’t worth anything 😂

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

He is better off on own than having the likes of that fiery woman in his life.

[@pauladaniels-bc7rj]

Goodbye to my lovely Hadleigh ☘️🌷🍀🍂 gentleman i would loved to have shared a tea,coffee or brandy with x x

[@FoogouFilms]

Hope you watched the narrated version of this episode with Gerald Harper. Then there is the Hadleigh documentary this Friday.

Hi foogoo friends 🙂🙂 yes I did listen to the narrated version & looking forward to the documentary,Paula 🌷🪻 x

Wonderful episode and acting poor old james really got shafted but at least sir Geoffrey came up Trumps Bankers crooked then Worse now 👎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@FoogouFilms]

Yes, crooked bankers back then a very mild version of what we have now. Especially the BIS bunch!

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Hadleigh should drive a jaaaag!

[@FoogouFilms]

THe character would probably see them as rather vulgar, to be driven by spivs and villains.
