Absolutely brilliant Jean fergursson as Hylda baker 🌟💞😊 😊 I must get a little hand put on this watch

[@Zlervo]

I loved Hylda Baker.

[@marl1233]

OMG Hylda Baker! So funny, "Big girls blouse" was one of the phrases that I used the other day and my son couldn't stop laughing, he had never heard it before. She was so funny!

I still use big girls blouse 😂 and … I must get a little hand put on this watch.

Loved her in 'Last of the Summer Wine'.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Yes.. I'm just helping this young lady home😉

@@levimacdonald5188 lol,.yes indeed!! I remember my sister turning me onto British Comedies when she worked at a large law firm in Washington DC and lived in Annapolis, MD. As her "little brother" visiting from Southern West Virginia during my summers off from junior and high school days. Even after college/families/retirement, we still love sitting down to a afternoon of British Comedies.

Wonderful ✨🌟👏 Can't beat British comedies 😆

Jean and I were friends. When I was a young actor, she was very kind to me, always very encouraging. Now it is my turn.

[@levimacdonald5188]

How fascinating we're you close friend's 💛🌟

OMG. Jean Ferguson is a legend. Such a shame she had to endure the double hideousness of Esther McVey and Steve 'LBC Graveyard Shift' Allen. The poor lady.

[@regplasma7906]

Phil Schofield will be camper than Steve Allen in this clip in a year or so.Once the closet was shut and now the doors can't close.

[@mindblast3901]

haaaaaa and more haaa

[@PaulEcosse]

You can see what Dale saw in Steve back then.

[@tanyaandelvis2698]

Makes you realise what a loss Steve Allen..I’m lost as to why they ever gave him screen or Radio time.

[@kylewilliams5761]

Funny how T.V makes you sound so much more Butch than Radio does.!!

[@squirrelarch]

Blimey. Interviewed by a Svelte Steve Allen no less. Wasn't quite ready for Esther McVey popping up.

[@sarahlouise7163]

what the hell is on her head 🤣

[@primalconvoy]

Why did you blur out/obscure the screen? Either show something, or don't bother with the clip. If you HAVE to omit content, add a message (over) the "offending" imagery/scene and/or include an explanation in the video description. I immediately didn't bother watching the rest of this video due to your poor video editing/presenting skills. Do better, please.

[@MrDannyDetail]

Not to mention the incorrect aspect ratio, and the fact that bits have been cut out and have left odd short smatterings of applause that now seem to occur randomly mid-interview.

[@wodgerwabbit9393]

Interesting clip, thanks for sharing... book she wrote about hylda used to be hard to find but probably freely available second hand nowadays.
