Thanks so much for uploading these used to watch them when I was a kid with my grandparents who are no longer here. Nice memories. Can almost hear their laughter again 😊

Clearly "Do the swim" was well watched on that VHS!

Holy shit i thought you were joking, but you're right, that part is worn to shit! Amazing!

What was the point of that part? If it really was accidental, why would they keep filming?

When you know who she is and you make the connection to the same thing happening to her in her biggest part in a very popular cult film, then you realise this was most definitely planned.

I haven't seen this since the late 70s because the earlier editions weren't repeated ad infinitum like the later ones. Thanks a million for putting this online, you've made this 70s child very happy :)

[@dasgoaty]

Pleasure!

[@dasgoaty]

Thanks Joanne!

[@zlund]

Why hello Tom Scott fans!

[@franl155]

I saw this when it first aired, and I'd given up all hope of ever seeing it again. Wish I could upvote this more than once! Thank you so much for posting it. 27-18 - I've seen two versions of the "swim dance", though I didn't remember that I'd seen the first one here. An American blooper show also showed this clip, but ... suddenly there were two pink circles dancing about on the screen. It took me a couple of minutes to realise that these were covering the woman's nipples - and I'd never noticed on this clip that she had both breasts exposed. Just goes to show that censorship only draws attention to what it's trying to suppress.

[@swanvictor887]

good to see this again, I remember when it aired, it created a whole new genre of TV show and it was made for just 16,000 pounds! This was the very first 'Blooper' show, anywhere in the world.

[@Marmike91]

Finally!!! Someone has it!! You sir, have my thanks :P

[@dasgoaty]

You're very welcome!

[@Soopytwist]

The Young Frankenstein clip at 13:19 was the funniest. I believe Marty's biting of Madeline Kahn's fur scarf was ad-libbed.

[@fluffymcdeath]

Just like I remember it. You tape even got damaged in the same place my tape got damaged.

Maybe from the source. 1977 this wouldn't have been taped off the TV at home.

15:00 - from Space 1999 : The Bringers Of Wonder Part 2 - in the finished product she still stuns the guard but the other actor who trips over him here isn't present - having been summoned away - and isn't seen after that point at all - so he may have been injured by the fall and had to be concocted out of the episode.

[@acrodave9287]

I saw this the first time it aired in the late 70s, I was still at school and thought it was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen! I think it was the first time anything like it had been seen on British TV, and set a trend still with us today, for good or ill. I say it was the most hilarious thing I'd seen because I was 14 and Benny Hill stopped being funny at puberty, mainly because scantily clad women started to raise things with me other than laughter. 🤭

[@davecorry7723]

Perfectly, perfectly mirrors my own upbringing ...

[@MrDavey2010]

I remember this first episode very well.

[@hawkpaul8735]

The really strange thing as I've got older is seeing people who were very famous when this was put out and I can't remember their names. Luckily it doesn't distract from the laughs.

[@TralfazConstruction]

It's a symptom of my age that some of these names which were once so readily available to me can be so difficult to recall. Sometimes I will not research them online because I try to use other methods to remember and 'relearn' them after some years of disuse.

[@ladyi7609]

At 34:53 is legendary American TV news reporter and anchor Harry Reasoner, who was a co-anchor of one of the major evening news broadcasts in the U.S. for decades before ending up on a weekly news program called '60 Minutes". He's been gone for years but it's nice to see some footage of him when he was younger.

[@brantnuttall]

Haven't seen this for absolute ages, but totally remember the guy from Strabane. Probably the most famous thing about the town, although they did build ships there, I believe!

[@clemstevenson]

Yes, I recall seeing this when it first aired. As a matter of fact, I was waiting for the coffee cup gag in the intro, and the hanging by the balls from the Christmas tree cock-up, which I still remember fondly. The trouble with life is that you only get one take, so be sure to ad lib your way through all the cock-ups. At least with flash memory cards you can delete without loss of material.

[@GeorgeASFTHM]

First time I have ever seen this edition, and it's amazing how it is seen compared to future editions. It is very much like a pilot. I think that the programme picks up properly from the third edition in 1981. The thing is that the studio looks too dark, I am not sure about the opening titles - a good job they changed them for the second edition, and Norden's positioning on stage almost makes it feel like a Clive James/ Floyd/ Tarrant on TV programme - indeed, Norden did do a similar programme back in 1980. Also, this was made probably before Christmas tapes were being made more prominently in the television industry as they were in the 1980s. I see that it ran for an hour just like the other editions, but this edition is only 38 minutes on here, the equivalent of 45 minutes of ITV time. I assume that there is at least 12 to 15 minutes missing? Lots of outtakes I have never seen before, and have obviously never made it onto any future compilations - quite a lot of black and white, American and film outtakes on here not surprisingly - and movie outtakes seem to be the focal point unlike in 1990s editions. To think that we were less than eight years into colour television, things have moved along quite quickly by the time this was made. Great to see that the very first one was the source for the "Moray Firth IV" one, as well as the fast talking trade unionist at 22:24, and the HTV Within These Walls/ Yogs advert (that TV Cream referenced on its old website), which had resurfaced on later compilation editions e.g. the 21st anniversary one in 1998. 27:22 Very surprised to see that one in this edition - I thought that was from the mid 1980s. It's different but fascinating, but I do say that the 1980s editions were the best. How about the Cock Up Trip edition from 1996 being downloaded? If this edition can be downloaded, then, than the Cock Up Trip one should be a doddle.

[@alexrobinson4802]

love t one

[@dasgoaty]

I think this is the full episode, I would have paused on the adverts.

[@GeorgeASFTHM]

I did notice from the LWT logo at the end that this must have been the January 1979 repeat (LWT only started to use that ident from 1978 onwards). I also noticed when I found out from UK Press Online (The Times were on strike) that it was repeated in January 1979, and the repeat that it was only 45 minutes long, compared to the original 60 minutes in 1977. I suppose that is my answer.

[@dasgoaty]

Think you're spot on George, 1979 would be about right for the time I had my first video recorder

[@625tvroom]

You're right. The new LWT logo was used on the repeat and some material was left out. Haven't watched this through, but I believe the repeat left out some cock-ups from one of David Jason's shows (possibly A Sharp Intake of Breath) where a car windscreen falls out and was supposed to smash, but didn't?

Am I the only one suspicious of the video noise between 27:47 & 28:17 (the Little Nell "Do The Swim" routine with the strapless bathing costume)?

Pity it's mot 100% complete, but so much better than nothing at all. I seem to remember that the Swimmer was preceded by an introduction from Denis stating her name was "Little Nell". Also, there was an out take from Dr. Who with Tom Baker and Liz Sladen in the original from "The Seeds of Doom" where Sarah Jane and the Doctor are outside a house, looking up and say something like "We can't get in, the door's locked." and then the door slowly swings open.

Hey, I used to watch this show throughout the 90s, there's a blooper segment I'm looking for, basically it's an ad for an American alcoholic beverage (I think). Basically, it features a white American man with a mustache sitting on a stool at a bar, he says the line, and then a beer is supposed to come sliding along the bar table from off-screen and into his waiting hand, but the person off-screen keeps missing his hand hillariously with the glass because of not sliding hard enough/sliding with too much force and keeps creating extremely funny bloopers over a number of takes lol Can anyone here possibly help me remember which "It'll Be Alright On The Night" it was actually from?

[@vaclav_fejt]

27:30 - I wonder what must have gone wrong. I mean, the costume designer, the choreographer, the talent, the director - any of them should have said "How about we rehearsed that, just to be sure it works." Or they didn't have the time, that's more plausible, I guess...

It's interesting that a lot of the clips are cut so short in the early ones, maybe before the producers realised that most of the laughs are in the seconds after "impact": watching performers crease with laughter, hearing the last shards of glass tinkle to the floor or just giving viewers time for the comedy to sink in. Except the lady with her boobs out, that ran about twice as long as in the recut 21st anniversary edition 😁
