S1 E10 The Old Magic

[@sleepydank8330]

Such a warm hearted and cosy, brilliantly written comedy full of fantastic dialogue a perfect blend of comedy, nostalgia, emotion, morals and character.

Every episode brilliantly written. Great actors with perfect timing. Watched these years ago . Attitudes have changed a lot in that time but just as enjoyable.

[@kevinbeck6785]

When BBC comedy shows were FUNNY 😂😂

[@johnhaggerty4396]

I have the boxset as well as as a DVD of the only film spin-off yet here I am watching it again. There were sitcoms just as great (Rising Damp, Steptoe and Son, Dad's Army, On the Buses) but The Likely Lads brings back so many memories. Even the theme song makes me happy.

[@stephenlennox6491]

Same hear mate. Got the boxset and film also the boxset of Rising Damp, Dads Army and Only Fools and Horses.

Great! A savage exploration of genuine friendship challenged by class and aspiration. A serious critique of human relationships of the sort that the facile world of modern TV thinks is too trivial to dissect. Brilliant!

[@eatmywords]

i consider it's due to the evaporation of the social-ist strata from tv programming, so prevalent in shows of the 60s and 70s: the good life, till death us do part, on the buses, the rag trade.

There's a film and no-one knows who wrote the song "what a lovely day like today". Brilliant song.

[@janeokeeffe5297]

[@Wench64]

Always watch these, grew up in the 70s, and yes all we have to look forward to is the past, neighbours were always looking after each or even talking, I knew everyone and always said hello, to many people from other countries now😢

[@bodsnvimto]

Back in the 780s when so many of our finest sitcoms were first being aired, I thought Fawlty Towers was cream of the crop, bit In now find that this, Porridge and Rising Damp are those to have aged best. All three have a warmth and heart to them not found these days, and certainly not in the plethora of by-the-numbers predictably lame US so-called comedies whose constant repeats today clog up our goggle box in such an inane, saccharine and predictable manner.

[@normathomas8276]

Lovely to see the late Anita Carey as Thelma's sister Susan ,who'll always be Pat Brandon from 'I didn't know you cared ' for me ,a grand Yorkshire lass 💘💘

[@keithfenwick9992]

Robin Bailey..Uncle Mort! Carter Brandon.. Uncle Staveley, Ahh well, umm. What a mind mix! The first joke in the series is a killer!

[@WillJ5112]

Bob may be getting married but neither can live without the other despite their contrasting fortunes.A truly great series made possible by a still unrivalled writing duo and two actors who fitted the roles to perfection. The only drawback is the awful background music in the restaurant which grates.

[@miles-thesleeper-monroe8466]

Absolute quality.

[@jameswebb4593]

The very first series were brilliant , I couldn't only recognize myself but most of my mates , even though I was a southerner . The BBC to save a few quid wiped the tapes clean , to reuse .
