Myself and Susannah discussed a few related issues with this on the latest podcast ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FYpg6xCzpMw.htmlsi=BkILSnz-PQJyP34v
A ridiculously dramatised work of fiction based on the lives of real people. Read up about it--it's nothing alike the truth, and many people involved in the production of this atrocity were fired from the BBC.
Both Harold and Harry were trapped. Harold was Trapped by his manipulative father and the business. Harry was trapped by the character he played and couldn't escape from. Two tragic sad stories.
You watch this with your own peace of mind a dramatisation of drip fed information of the people with real lives good tv fact is just like wilfred said after harry had passed we only spoke when we where working different ppl different lives but it wasn't as dramatic as you think it was life there was even talk after there successful coffee commercial in 1981 of doing the Australian tour again but harrys health declined and that was that..but the memories on screen will live 4ever 🙏🏴👌
One bit that was true in this is that Wilfred did only smile at the man in the toilet the police had been wanting to get him for months as they did with all celebrities at the time and well into the 90s The police can falsely wave rainbow flags as much as they want now but their track record on homophobia will never be forgotten
We had a school trip to a recording of an episode. After the recording a group of us went with our scripts to ask for autographs, Harry H Corbett was friendly, Wilfred Bramble was extraordinarily unpleasant and hostile.
Phil Davis really took on the role of Wilfred Bramble, haunting at times. Jason Isaacs was every bit the part of Harry H Corbett as well. A great film, shame there's not more in this class.
There’s other films on here like this. First one is called Fear Off Fanny, about fanny Cradock the uk tv cook, and another called Fantabuloso about Kenneth Williams
😂 52, ha, 35 yrs AS a postman 😮😢. That would make him, 12 yrs when he started, mucked up THERE 😱🧐💯😎.... I'm depressed, this is making me worse😴🥱. THINK I'm out, there's no story to it . .... Just boring horrible music 😱😱😱....... Where's the real story, 😢...... HOW on earth is there a part Two 😏🙄😲🍋
IMO what was the point of showing Harold trying to shag his wife on the sofa.. Very inappropriate unless it happened and very near to a rape scene.... Endof.. Tony cuenca
Why on earth was this made out to be such a dark topic? The inference here is that the two stars despised each other and that everyone involved was troubled and preoccupied. There was even the implication that HHC was so upset not to be in a West End Shakespearean drama that he attempted to make S&S into a bit of a WS comedy. I know I wasn't there, but I feel pretty sure that this whole play is a wild exaggeration of the facts, and that neither HHC or WB were treated fairly by whoever made this. What a shame.
An incredible documentary play of that popular early 1960s series….as a child…I loved that tv series….but now….I see the work and the real world of actors life…back then. I’m sorry for the wife of Harry H. Corbett (Shiela Steafel a wonderful actress too)….the price to a career in acting….is high. Thank you for sharing this excellent tv BBC play…a very gem….with great actors like Jason Isaacs, Rory Kinnear and Zoe Tapper….with us 😊👍👍
There are holes in the story. Like, if someone is voluntarily away, the police are not going to spend a ton of time looking for him and retreiving him.
She has done so well….from royalty to a shop keeper, then cheffing up toast in a crap kitchen , and poxy chat shows no one wants to hear…,woweee well done that wiman
