PLEASE SIR! - (1971) British Comedy Film - Starring John Alderton

Mr Hedges (Alderton), is only allowed to bring his unruly class, '5C' to the School Camp, if he takes full responsibility for their behaviour.

Starring John Alderton, Deryck Guyler, Joan Sanderson

This is better than Netflix a million times. I am 61 years old and I love the old movies.

[@annonymous3948]

I'm 43 and I remember my uncle playing this film to us as kids in the 90s.

[@SunnyBeetle1922]

It's like going on holiday to a time when people looked at each other and not their phones....bloody bliss!!!... Ironic that I have to look at a phone to write this🤦🏽‍♀️

[@TonyWeaving]

I was only very young when this was on the television. But we as a family looked forward to watching yhis each week. Now as a 60 yesr old i still love it as one did back in the 1970s.

[@iwasglad122]

One of my very favourite films. Brilliantly funny and so well acted by everyone. I adore Joan Sanderson and Richard Davies is a comic genius!

[@Kiinell]

They way she was singing with such glee at the beginning cracked me up. She played the battleaxe so well. I bet she was a right laugh in real life.

[@Poetikaliz]

I don't bother with Netflix and them lot so I searched comedies 70s and this came up, very entertaining! Im a Benny Hill fan so these types of comedy fall on my lap dead easy!

[@stevebeddow3292]

I'm the same 😊😊

[@paulmacdonald4844]

The films Rising damp, Mutiny on the Buses on KZbin and carry on films also can you recommend others?

[@Chuckles2109]

I agree,Netflix is same old so I get I for 3 months unsubscribe and get it again if something I want to watch has come out and you can do it as much as ya like.😅

[@pandorazbox9659]

I used to love this programme as a child. Aaahhh memory Lane.

[@claireholland6186]

This film has been posted for a whole year and I'm the first one to like it!! Come on guys, 67k views and no one else bothered to like it?!

[@LeeBeardshall]

I got the boxset I put it when still love it my era actually.

[@MrTroop71]

happier times when folk weren't upset about good comedy.

[@Anthony-qy5yw]

I’m 62 this brings back all the memories.. I used to watch this on a Friday nights with mum and dad .great actors

[@RaveDave871]

I thought the teens in Grease movie were old till i saw this. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lindabarnett3794]

Old looking and immature- revolting combination...

[@LivesInLibertyCity]

I absolutely get why nostalgia is so more important now than its ever been, you can literally feel seeping from the pores when you talk to people in their 60s in particular. The 70s just seemed and sounded like a pure magical era. And hurting more that it's a time in the which the world will simply never let return. My late Mum spoke about it often

[@davidcrook4949]

Takes me back. Brilliant xx

[@r.grantham9945]

"I don't care if you're down a bleeding well mate" Hilarious 😊😊

[@lindamanas954]

What a wonderful actress Joan Sanderson was

[@alexandrudicu7042]

👍👍

[@L1RW]

Mrs Richards in Fawlty Towers

[@donnaaranda7175]

Yes she sure was

[@denisesaunders5473]

She was also in mixed blessings with the gorgeous late actor Christopher Blake.

[@KRPTV]

What were you expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel window? Sydney opera house perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon?!😄😄😄

[@jonmortermusic]

Quite possibly the only film that makes light of casual racism, sexism, bigotry, belittling mental health, animal abuse, domestic abuse, child abuse, xenophobia, underage drinking, teachers hitting pupils, anti-Muslim sentiment, anti-Traveller sentiment, false rape allegations, and alcoholism, yet is still well worth watching

[@jayaybe1]

Don't forget the abuse of "pasty faced" pillocks 🤭😄.

[@mikedown1250]

LOL

[@tabbaranxx]

I didn’t see any anti Muslim or anti traveller sentiment and nothing really racist either - a gem of a movie - take me back please

[@kevinallen9414]

A gem.

[@garypearce3534]

Obviously you like to see into everything far too deeply.

[@lindamanas6735]

My God John Alderton is a looker! I love this film! Joan Sanderson was superb in it too. All great comedy actors.

[@lindamanas6735]

Watching this in 2024. Peter Cleall so brilliant and David Barry as ‘ mommy’s little soldier’ ! Derrick Guyler was such a great actor too.

[@Realpoweronearth]

Reminds me of my old school 😮

[@jamesdurnford1221]

I filmed an interview with a cameraman that worked on the series today

[@anjkovo2138]

''don't you eye ointment me....'' LMAO

[@rick381v69]

David Dunstable was epic 😊

[@michellefalleur960]

- Love that line !!

[@riochcogan8913]

What a great movie, the series was brilliant too. Thanks for posting it. 👏🏻 😁

[@TonyWeaving]

I totally agree with you.

[@jamieorourke767]

All the school kids are in their mid twenties😂

[@Jason-io5bu]

Some were the same age as the teacher

[@LemonScreech]

I miss old England. What a great place it was to live.

[@raygibbons8048]

Love it always makes me laugh. Reading David Barry’s Frankie Abbot)please sir the official history (great book). I’m definitely addicted to 70s tv

[@jonathanstempleton7864]

Probably had more views in the past year than most of the crap on BBC3

[@Bazzer2121]

this is such a good film of the 70s i can understand why they followed it with a television series that was shown on ITV every saturday afternoon.

[@mikemorgan7893]

The film came after the tv series

[@theonlybuzz1969]

Reminds me of my school days, albeit calmer than my school. Where my teachers dressed like 1970’s crap porn stars with flares so big they looked like rocket boosters off the Apollo space program.

[@SunnyBeetle1922]

And enormous side burns... my dad had these when I was little... I used to pull them nearly off his face. Sorry dad🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@bmw540ise]

Great film

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

[@Kiinell]

3 actors in this went on to appear in Fawlty Towers.

[@deborahnewton6208]

Great Film, very Funny and great Acting . It made me laugh. Thanks for sharing it and Happy new year 2024.

[@josephbellvietnam]

Wonderful film , a must watch

[@robbiexxxxxx]

There were 2 adverts before the opening titles had finished.

[@carlremington8780]

Classic ! Even tho the fenn street " kids" were pushing 30 in 1971 🤣

[@paulwalker9262]

Brilliant film ❤

[@nataliejones5081]

John alderton used to live in woodham new haw surrey in the early 70s only five minutes from where my Dad lived

[@denisesaunders5473]

I was 11 in 1971 and just starting grammer school.

[@jayaybe1]

Lol, that's some "grammer" school ....

[@TonyWeaving]

I was 8 years old I. 1971 and we as a family my brother my mum and my nan loved it.

[@jenniferalldred7215]

Brilliant 😊

[@seanwalker6965]

It's so good l wish I was there

[@warrenbut1455]

Good to see a blackboard again

[@DE5NER]

Love this film, ❤

[@misfit2022]

“What jolly fun” 5C go away to Stalag 17, or possibly Black Park, and I am sure it will bring back memories for anyone who has been away on a school trip so even though it was made before I was born the themes like school rivalry are universal and it is family friendly too. John Alderton leads a cast which includes Deryck Guyler, Joan Sanderson, carry ons Carol Hawkins, Patsy Rowlands and Peter Bayliss.

[@123456wasp]

Thank you. 🇬🇧😎👍

[@HopeMonkey]

Always was amazed that the kids were older than the teacher😂😂😂😂😂

[@harryinthekitchen7201]

Did anyone notice a very very little yellow t shirt wearing Tod Carty in the first scene? :)

[@terrymartin8160]

Yes I did, I also saw a young Brinsley Ford future frontman of ASWAD

[@terrymartin8160]

[@denisesaunders5473]

Malcolm mcfee was gorgeous

[@michellefalleur960]

He really was , always thought so since I first ever saw this film, He looks very like Daman Alburn (- correct spelling ??! ) 😊

[@neilmcdonald9164]

One of 3 of the "children" sadly now dead:the actors playing Dennis and Maureen are no longer with us either.All the teachers,bar JA,are dead too🎩

[@eddiecollins453]

[@egonrhoodie2745]

In 1971 I was attending the Hampshire School in Knightsbridge London watching Scooby-Doo and going to Battersea Park Golden times!🎡🎆😇🙏🎭🤳

[@Chuckles2109]

I watched Scooby doo and Hong Kong phoey too. 😅

[@andrewbaker234]

Fantastic

[@ggagg123]

Very good film. I've never seen 30 year olds as high school students before haaaa!

[@artistsingerwriterproducer8288]

In the beginning i smile a lot, have to work now, good evening ❤

[@wendyhall7630]

why has you tube ruined this great film by having adverts every 5 minutes, completely ruined watching film no where do you have adverts every 5 minutes or less. what is you tube up to. i don't even watch them

[@gabrielleconway5219]

What a great film! I was only about 10 or so when it was made, but I definitely remember the series. Although being a teenager in the mid seventies was great...I somehow wish I'd been born a few years earlier. Quite bad racism and sexism...but hey! "Such fun!"!

[@pikemeredith5604]

Jill Kerman disliking Bernard Hedges (John Alderton) at first. Odd tho as she married him in the original series. A good spinoff alas but preferred Penny Spencer as Sharon.

[@mikedown1250]

carol hawkins was about 22 and just makes it. Peter (duffy) is in his late 20's and doesn't

[@worland322575269]

Thanks you very much

[@MrEchoes1962]

This was taken off the DVD ...as its shown after the end credits.👍

[@tonycavanagh1929]

I was a kid in that London,

[@Chuckles2109]

Me 2 just turnt 2

[@simonwilson1237]

wasnt john alderton a teacher before he was a actor

[@Slammerworm1]

Peter Cleall made about as convincing a high school kid as did Divine in 'Female Trouble'...

[@demej00]

Haha. It's like a happy go lucky To Sir With Love.

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

The TV series was great, but as is often the case, it does not work so well when it transfers to a full length film version

[@flyingscotsman7914]

Are you a fan of Carry On ones? 🇬🇧

[@blueraspberryjamaddict017]

I like some. I love Carry on Screaming. I like Camping, Cabby, Doctor and Abroad too. The historical ones are good too. Which ones are your favourites?

[@flyingscotsman7914]

Well. I like Sergeant, Up the Khyber, Henry, Dick and Columbus. Strangely, Carry On Admiral wasn’t part of the series but Joan Sims starred.

[@flyingscotsman7914]

Incidentally, does the storm part of Abroad remind you of Norman and Dilys when they were on that beach?

[@flyingscotsman7914]

And have you ever read any of the Joshua Jones picture books such as the Birthday one, etc as we would wish there were episodes based on them? Talking of Birthdays, it will be mine on Monday.

[@blueraspberryjamaddict017]

yes, I have quite a few JJ books, they would have made good storylines for a series 2. Happy upcoming birthday! 🎈

[@robingift1635]

Why are some of the carry on films on you tube and some aren't?

[@Chuckles2109]

There's a lot of Steptoe and porridge films on KZbin if you look.

[@martinidry6300]

Just seen this on Talking Pictures and, guess what, they've been forced to make pointless edits. I only saw very few of these when it aired (born in 1965), but it rang a chord even then, as there were Victorians still about, while the mini skirts & long hair on the men told me the differences in those generations were caused by something huge. All those generations knew how to laugh, however.

[@braddarmphitt7067]

at the end the kids lift up mr hedges..but it was the caretaker who worked it out

[@flyingscotsman7914]

Something different, eh?

[@Pieps.22]

John Alderton erinnert mich ein wenig an Ilja Richter in jung.

[@RassieErasmus-no3vn]

In got married in 1971 and is 75 years old

[@ekspatriat]

They were all 20 plus

[@James.E.Newman.1966]

By gosh, the Fenn St kids. Such SHOCKING behaviour. They should lock 'em up and throw away the key. They should bring back National Service! So shocked at seeing their behaviour I fainted and fell onto the floor in a heap.

[@traceyjane4288]

the only thing i hate about this movie is the racist remaks this is was caused the issues surrounding colour :(
