I'm 66 and absolutely love will hay films, it's great to see you younger lads doing a brilliant job keeping these films and there stars for the younger generation to see. Keep up your great work.

I grew up watching black and white films on a Saturday afternoon and Loved Will Hay films. My favourite is Ask a Policeman. I'm the age group the chap is talking about that watched these during the 70s and 80s on TV.

Looking forward to seeing this.

I grew up on Will Hay films during the 90’s thanks to my dad who like Tom said grew up watching them in the late 60’s & 70’s & when channel 4 launched they use to show them during the 80’s & my dad managed to tape them on VHS My dad loved “ Oh my Porter “ & “ Ghost of St Micheals “ my favourites were “ Good morning boys “ , “ Ask a Policeman “ , “ Convict 99” , “ where’s that fire “ & of course “ Oh mr Porter” as well I definitely agree about “ My Learned friend “ & if Will Hay lived a little longer he could’ve easily been involved in more Ealing comedies. He was a genius & ahead of his time! Great discussion guys 👍

thanks for sharing your memories and for your kind words!

Will was a comedy genius, vastly underplayed. My favourite has always been The Ghost of St Michaels but it's impossible to watch anywhere for newcomers to his comedy, thankfully I have a copy on dvd! 😀

[@GarethPopped]

@@ianbrooke6342 I haven’t watched that one!

[@btlfilmmedia9514]

He was hilarious with very good clever dry but mad Wit

[@sarahwinfield3989]

Do you think you have to be of a certain age to have heard of Will Hay? I don't know all his films. Those I have watched are very enjoyable especially "O Mr Porter". His fellow actors in his films helped cement them in my memory.

[@GarethPopped]

It seems as though his films find a new audience. Especially Oh! Mr Porter which finds new people in the train enthusiast world! Being able to watch his stuff on KZbin definitely helps!

[@robertwoolstencroft5946]

Have you done anything about Rob Wilton or Frank Randle

[@GarethPopped]

I haven’t but I’ll look into it. Thank you! :)

[@richardswiderski4985]

What are you burying??

[@doloresmyatt9737]

as good as Will Hay films are if the film is black and white it turns people off may be if his best film was colourised that might just be enough to get people to watch the rest. the only film of Wills I have not seen is "know your apples"

[@GarethPopped]

I’m not a fan of colourising black and white films. I find that the same people who prefer films colourised probably don’t appreciate older films in general.

[@ianbrooke6342]

Jeez, I hate colourised films, B&W is so much better.
