Tracey Ullman Class Act - Class Air

[@friendlyfire26]

"does she drive a volvo and have a secret drinking problem?" - classic!!

[@AlvaSudden]

hahaha I loved that. Works in America also.

[@loubock3238]

Tracy Ullman, so talented! lOVE HER !!

[@brucegately831]

"That makes me middle class, right?" "Oh no, you're an American!" Classic.

[@newtonwhatevs]

It's funny because it's true.

[@linleylott357]

Thankyou so much for putting this up. I saw it when I was too ...'young' .. to appreciate Tracey Ullman and I've been looking for it ever since.

[@paulineodonnell3163]

Love that a very well know company has used this classic moment in their Xmas ad

[@AlvaSudden]

"Does she have a secret drinking problem and drive a Volvo?" "Yes of course I do!" "I think they've got a case. Bump them." (translating for fellow Americans)

[@eehendrick]

Tracy is one of the top ten "character" comedians-right up there with Robin Williams, Flip Wilson, Carol Burnett and Jonathon Winters.

[@mihaelatudor2417]

It’s all British. Hard to savour it if you have not lived in England.....some 30 years ago :)))

[@robbieross8591]

I agree and would also include Catharine Tate too

[@Tason123]

Dont forget Whoopi!

[@susanford2388]

Tracey Ullman is multi talented &, in my opinion a class of her own. She sings, dances, mimics & is naturally funny.

[@sayantanmukherjee4871]

@@susanford2388 Watching Tracey Ullman in Trevor Ayliss getup gives me the idea of making a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman. She would have been brilliant in that role.

[@Mike6E]

Tracey is such a lunatic. I love her. :D

[@beckyenglish4783]

Thank you for this! I remember watching on TV years ago, and it's still so relevant.

[@bagelboi66]

This is my all-time favorite Tracey Ullman bit! Rock on Trevor Ayliss :D

[@kevinmcguire5696]

ha ha...Timothy Spall as an airline pilot drinking a Foster's while he's flying.

[@pierrejamison1239]

She's Brill mate, absolutely brill!!

[@katebarsod]

"ïf you want to shop at Argos and have a house that smells of vinegar, it's ços..." - Brilliant!

[@carine4318]

She is fabulous

[@LUCKYFILMSUK]

Brilliant, love it Tracey Ullman, Timathy Spall, YOU DO WHAT I TELL YA RIGHT,

[@RichieRouge206]

Secret drinking problem and drive a Volvo 🤣🤣🤣 sounds like typical Surrey 😜

[@kittyprydekissme]

Although the song got cut from the DVD, it is shown complete on HULU. So if anyone wants to see the complete show, that would be the place to look. (At least in the USA. I don't know if it can be seen everywhere.)

[@ProjectEvolWe]

Hah you can clearly see where Catherine Tate's "Derek" comes from..

[@newtonwhatevs]

How very dare you!

[@cncit]

Macclesfield is supposed to be a "posh" area..shes taking the mick out of it :-) Thanks for posting Tracey Ullman is the best we miss her so much in the UK!!

[@dmbunny8000]

Macclesfield is a posh area ? Are you insane or just American ?

[@Sawrattan]

She reminds me of Catherine Tate's Aga Saga woman 😂

[@patagualianmostly7437]

@@dmbunny8000 Well, it has a well-known psychiatric hospital.... ......room for an American, I'm sure. ;-)

[@crazychap5329]

Back of the bus!

[@stormstruck]

I think 'Trevor' ended up retiring from his job, lost his hair and changed his name to Derek "How Very Dare You" Faye on Catherine Tate. 😅

[@Sawrattan]

Hah, it was Catherine Tate's Derek that reminded me of this sketch in the first place

[@crazychap5329]

Speak! Lol

[@dcbornmike]

very amusing!

[@teresapaskell5459]

Names names names. Brilliant

[@Nikkopikko]

I remember watching this on HOBO a looooooooong time ago. Im still confused on wtf its about.

[@newtonwhatevs]

Someone needs to explain this to Meghan Markle... she'll never make it past that curtain.

[@maddygates9566]

Tracy is absolutely awesome.i love u girl.🤓🌷💛

[@sayantanmukherjee4871]

Tracey Ullman dressed as Trevor Ayliss should have been made into a movie something similar to Mrs Doubtfire gender swap reboot. I would rate it as one one the best prosthetic makeup.

[@randyhortonchi]

Does anyone know where there is a copy of another sketch from this TV Special: Hethers - A young girl, Jeannine Pillsworth is placed into a posh boarding school by her working class parents. Her mother and father give up all their possessions in order to afford tuition; her father sells one of his kidneys. Jeannine, now calling herself Janie, is reinvented into a posh young woman. She disowns her parents, making them promise to never speak to her again. Despite Janie's contempt, Mr and Mrs Pillsworth couldn't be happier that Jeannine has become exactly what they wanted to become

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

God, that sounds depressing. A bit like kids today that go to uni that come home trans and call their parents bigots.

[@judemorales4U]

Trevor looks different here. Different make-up artist.

[@philipyouds3031]

Catherine Tate kind of nicked the impromptu "I am what I am" bit for her Nan character.

[@ohwhatworld5851]

I think she was inspired quite a bit from this gay character with the 'How very dare you' guy too.

[@L-mo]

and the posh lady with the son and daughter- totally ripped off!

[@thinwire]

Does anyone know the name of the episode where a couple live on a narrow boat and she's talking about her other half playing Johnny B Goode when he blew straight through the roof "and his last words were.. I've nearly it!... but he hadn't." ??

[@buzzheather]

Hi - it is from the same comedy show A Class Act. There was a sketch about a lower middle class family (Dad is Michael Palin) who sacrifice everything for their daughter to attend "Heathers" public school and succeed in turning their daughter into a snob.There is a sketch which is a spoof on the longitudinal documentary series called 7up where children from different classes are revisited every 7 years as they grow into adulthood and the scene you refer to is in this sketch. The entire show was based (I think) on explaining to U.S. viewers how the British class system functions. As a brit I think it is brilliant.

[@inkyguy]

buzzheather, as I understand it, the last film of the episodic set of the brilliant "7 Up" films has been released or will be released soon.

[@danielbutcher5836]

It's like watching The Mask

[@L-mo]

oh my GOD

[@L-mo]

this is awful and brilliant at the same time.

The pilot is one of the actor in Harry Potter right? 🤔😁

[@Sawrattan]

Yes he also played the artist Turner a few years ago

[@patagualianmostly7437]

@@Sawrattan Timothy Spall is a fine actor and has played a multitude of wide-ranging parts on British TV and in a variety of films. He hails from the midlands and has a naturally rich Brummie accent. (Brummie -Birmingham) We love him to bits!
