A BIT OF A DO - SERIES 1 - EPISODE 1 

They should have invited Hyacinth and Richard Bucket, they would have been a riot. What a funny series. Enjoyed it immensely.

I love this when I was a teenager it was hilarious 🤣 sitting with Mum and Dad aww 🥰 😇😇. What a laugh we’d all have lovely to see it again ❤️

Superb. Nobody does it better than the Brits. And I discover series previously unknown to me all the time.

Mr Bidden, you have made me happy beyond measure in posting this video! A very young everybody; Sir David Jason, Gwen Taylor, the great Stephanie Cole, David Thewlis is fan-bloomin'-tastic too. I look forward to building my playlist, starting with this episode. THANK YOU.

I didn't get where i am today by not being able to identify rare delights of English literature and i give you David Nobbs as a rare, unequalled Divine gift to English speaking mankind.

This wonderful series was running at the same time as You Rang Milord, The New Statesman, Blackadder IV, and only a year after Yes Prime Minister had finished. Then followed by Prime Suspect, The Darling Buds of May, Birds of a Feather, Keeping Up Appearances, Men Behaving Badly, Ab Fab, and so much more. Ah, the memories. The 1988-1993 period is likely the best five-year period in TV history (British OR American).

What a joy to watch this fantastic series again. Brings back memories of watching with my Mum, loved the theme tune, one of those...you couldn't stop singing once in your head!

I'm super-impressed with the quality of the audio on this, perfect.

A Bit of A Do, was excellent! Secrets come out, adultery, mean spirits, insecrtities all joined into one. Go sh, real life at its best!

“That’s what’s good about being old ya don’t have to give a bugger” .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for this. I loved watching this when I was little.

I loved, loved, LOVED this series as a kid. Made up to find it again

I absolutely love this series and finally someone has uploaded it and with excellent sound and picture quality too. Thank you so much ♥️👍

This suddenly popped in my head recently. So glad to see episodes uploaded! I remember watching this in my early teens. Made quite an impression on me 😊

I'm so glad I found this series ,tonight. I remember seeing it a few years ago and it is just as hilarious now as it was the first time I saw it ! I do wish we could see all the other episodes from the series in a regular format like this, I hope that they will be available soon. But I do want to thank you so much for airing this part of the series.

is anyone else watching this for david thewlis lol

Thank you, John. I can watch this over and over again.

Another British tv good cast

Oh wonderful! I loved this series, thank you SO much for posting it!

Absolutely delighted to discover that I can now see this wonderfui series again!

I can't believe I've stumbled on this!! Sooo enjoyed this series back in the day!!

Fabulous thank you so much for uploading this not seen it since it came out brand new loved it then and do now as well

Paul Chapman, playing Laurence Rodenhurst here, was a regular in the series, As Time Goes By, playing Stephen. He is a dentist in both series.

This was on around my dad’s 39th birthday and I was 3, before Lindsay was born.

I loved this when it was on. I bought the dvd box set a few years ago

Thank you for posting this great show.

This series was so good

Classic wonderful series ❤️

Great cast - so much talent.

Watching from Durban South Africa. I have recently became fond of British comedy. More especially the old ones #imadurbaner

Thanks for sharing this. Really a shame programming has changed over the years.

Nite nite sweet dreams lovely Michael Jayston X

Hi johnbidden72, do you have the rest of series one and series two, and if so could you upload?!!! Much appreciate what you have up already 👍

Very entertaining:)).The dentist here was also playing a dentist in As Time Goes By...

For some reason, seeing this reminded me of "A Very Peculiar Practice".

Rip Nicola Pagett, so beautiful.

This is soooo funny. Thank you!

Rest in peace Nicola

This is so funny! It took me a few moments to recognize David Jason. Thank you for posting this.

Inspector Frost and Peter Guillam!

Awesome. Like others I just stumbled on the series.

Love this

I bought this on VHS in the early 90s.

Adore this series!!!

Wonderful..tickity boo😂❤❤❤

This is a great series

With David Janson this young it must have been in the 70's or 80's. BTW, thank you for this very enjoyable series.

david nobbs was a superior writer to say the least.a bit of a do is one of the best comedy/drama series ever made. i honestly did not know till about a year ago that david thewlis left after one series after being worried about being typecast.most actors around 25 years old < that he was at that time> would give their back teeth to be in something like this these days with such a great cast. in hindsight a rash move at the time but very like richard coyle who quit being jeff in coupling it worked out well in the long run.

Bloody hell, reminds me why I don’t like weddings. Spot on.

Jenny's Dad was also a dentist in As Time Goes By.

Wonderful closing line!

Thank you so much for posting...good ole days of tv

Oh, it’s Gwen Taylor from Heartbeat!

I miss being little 😢

The scene with Nicola Pagett helped me tremendously during my teenage years. Those thighs!

Thank you for posting this - is it possible for you to upload other episodes from this and the second season?

Michael Jayston ofcourse went on to play Raquel's dad and identify the Lesser Watch in Del Boys garage

`Wow. We're seeing a lot more of Nicola Pagett on this show than we did when she played Elizabeth Bellamy on Upstairs Downstairs.

yes Sir David Jason

I love 💘this dodo much

Blanche and Noris before Corrie

I might because of this series that they didn't do a series of OFAH in 1989.

Oh, Dear!

The inside of the church looks exactly like the church from As Time Goes By.... Anyone agree?

I see _Tinker Taylor's_ Peter Guillam...

David Jason at his best Here 🎉

Somewhat funny show, but the closed captioning didn't get half of the dialogue right. Can't imagine what a deaf person would make of the cockup.

Was the actor who played Norris Cole in corrie in this program as a bar man in one of the series

David Jason is in everything

its a real OFAH REUNION and David Thelwis was in the band ' a bunch of wallies'

Anybody else things bride looks like Sally Field?

Was this on ITV on Friday nights?

3:45 the bald headed man is Jacko from Love Thy Neighbour.

Does this feature Dave?

They are #SOoooo #GlancingAROUND !💁

loved it shame its so blurred

@22:50 Nicola Pagett in a basque with black stockings and suspenders. Wowwww.. this is every red-blooded males dream.

#Hahahahaha to them it is getting at !💁 🙌🙌🙌🤷

I bet Gwen Taylor’s children or nieces/nephews aren’t cheeky little horrors. Or whatever her name is in the comedy.

that was fascinating if you consider the social messages it was normalising. reminds me of boys from the back water.

LUPIN!

Such dismay at the prospect of a grandchild seems anomalous to me.

Is that Professor Lupin?

So in other worlds avoid tuna fish that will please the vegans

💕💕💕🌴

Stay woke Remus Lupin!

David thewlis

4 Nicola Paget ♥❤

Isn't that the detective guy? Can't think of the name of the series.

Long live King Charles III 🌹

26:32 Victoria Wood walking past camera in peach satin bridesmaid dress.

I keep waiting for this to be funny or even enjoyable.

Love it when people say the wrong thing and put there foot in it . Always a comman thing people tend to do at these kind of functions

ook😎

Dierdre from corries mum,.

Gawd, weddings sure are awful. Nobbs is brilliant though.

21:50

Quality was horrible I could not even set it up any higher on my phone

The actor..the groom Makes me skin crawl. In any role.

Why are they always talking with their mouths full of food Every Brit show I watch has someone talking with food in their mouth. Is this the norm
