S2 E12 Conduct Unbecoming

[@boilerroombob]

It is indeed a classic series that I never tire of watching 😅

[@terrygoldsmith335]

It’s hard to believe that it wasn’t that long ago, young lads would wear a suit, shirt & tie to go to the pub on a Friday night…

[@MrMenefrego1]

I'm not a Brit, but this is the most awesomely written and acted show I've ever had the privilege to have seen!

[@2011littlejohn1]

A lot of my family come from this area and it is very authentic. There is another series with James Bolam which we all watched at the time - When The Boat Comes In. I can't praise that enough it is funny and moving.

[@WillJ5112]

Even the lines of the support actors are outstanding and delivered perfectly by actors well trained in their craft.Bewes and Bolam continue with a script that continues to astound when compared with today’s inferior screen output.

[@MrMenefrego1]

Well said, bravo.

[@simonworman7898]

👍👍 as said

[@johnr8000]

Whoever took the decision to cast Bolam in the role of Terry Collier must have been a perceptive genius. I just can't think of anyone else who could have performed that role the way he did. Every episode a masterpiece of comic acting genius.

Comedy acting and writing in the 70/80s was superb.

[@dianewallace993]

the contrast and sparring, but love between Rodney and Terry. aided and abetted by Thelma. is one of the all time comedy greats

[@spanishpeaches2930]

My absolute favourite episode of all !

[@Houlitaudits]

Simply genius writing, casting and performances👌👏👏

[@iandennis1]

Always great to see the great James Cossins, here as the magistrate

[@markhayward7400]

I agree. James Cossins was one of those dependable stalwarts of British character acting. Magistrates must have been a speciality of his. I can remember him as one in an episode of "The Good Life".

[@paulshilton5370]

I was young enough to watch the first series and it was just like my friends and I. Excellent writing and so true to the time.

[@BibtheBoulder]

Never sure if I'm crying with laughter or crying at dismay that my life has passed me buy so quickly....

[@Filbrit2018]

i can relate to that

[@KingHodfromsillysussex]

@@Filbrit2018 Yeah me too, i find myself laughing my head off until the music plays at the end and then i feel a sort of crushing dispair.

[@vincentskinner3250]

I remember my granddad watching me climb a ladder with him footing it and he said “I wish I could still do that boy” I didn’t understand what he meant. Now I do 😂

[@christopherward5065]

Excellent! The flow of imagery and comedy is so dynamic and the delivery from the cast is seamless.

[@brianmorrison9168]

This was first shown in April 1974, so it is 50 years old, but still worth watching ... unlike ALL the sitcoms that are made nowadays. I can't think of any recent comdieis that I find funny. RIP Bob & Thelma (sorry, I mean Rodney Bewes and Brigit Forsyth)

[@joe-vl3nd]

Great show 🇬🇧👍

Alun. From South View Gardens, Annfield Plain. He obviously didn’t use that money he got in Get Carter for those Karate lessons.

[@TallSilentGuy]

14:46 I can't believe nobody in the audience laughed at "And you saw seamen?" Great ending, but I'm just sorry they didn't arrange a longer and more intense fight between Bob and Terry.

Forty three quid for ten days all in holiday in Romania. Cracking.

[@gingerfellah5665]

That’s £560 in today’s money. It’s still a good deal.

[@gingerfellah5665]

I went to Romania last year, flights, Airbnb, transport, food and outings, it cost about that amount. But I never took a taxi and travelled by public transport. I went in low season, a summer beach holiday would have been much more.
