This Popped up on recommendations. The guys was so pathetic weak I started to it cut off but later saw that it makes the show work. Now I can't stop watching.
Great little known show. When Peter Davison was still young & gorgeous. 🙆 And isn't England beautiful! Love the sound track, the writing, the illustrations & characters/actors. ♡♡♡ Many thanks for the share. 👏👏👏
It's Peter Davison. Yes. Please screen 'All Creatures Great and Small' (1978, U.K.) if you think he's physically attractive in this series. ; ) I've known of him since the first episode he appeared in A.C.G.A.S. but my favourite roles that he's played over the decades, that I've screened, are in Unforgiven, All Creatures Great and Small, The Last Detective, and this, Ain't Misbehavin'. Enjoy! : )
Such fun to see Nicola Pagett with a Yorkshire accent - and she's so funny! Harrogate (and its neighbor Knaresborough) are such beautiful gowns - so it's a pleasure to see it here. I've never seen the series - so it's a pleasure. Thanks!
I will never forget Nicola Pagett as Anna Karenina. Wonderful. I believe she may have been forced to retire early through illness. I hope she’s doing ok and wish her well.
If you have ever studied English grammar, you know that you must always put yourself second or last when mentioning something you did with another person. For example, “My cousin and I always watch...” rather than “me and my cousin...etc” what kind of oik would say, “me watch, and my cousin also watches” - which is what you have implied.
@@YorkshireBusGuy I stand corrected! RB's use of pseudonyms was covered in the biographical program - he used various; but as the dates of birth cited are different, in the links here, you're right, and I'm wrong! :-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Barker en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Clarke
@@Hithere-ek4qt , I can understand how these characters and this series would not seem humorous to or be appreciated by some, especially some men. To each their own. : )
One of Roy Clarke's shows that did make it.. BTW. Actors prefer an audience so they can judge their performance. canned laughter hasn't been used since the early 70's.
jrgboy canned laughter is still used in many shows. There are those that ditched it altogether (the royal family) but it’s still used even on studio shows sometimes
@@reasonrestored9116 Shows like Last Of The Summer Wine that were mostly filmed on location were always shown to an invited audience & their reaction recorded apart from a few feature length specials..
Boogie Down Bronx all the episodes were recorded in front of a studio audience. Any outdoor and location scenes were played to the same audience and their reaction captured. It can be distracting though
This actress played a cold, snobbish and totally unlikable character in A bit of a do, and here again she is out-bitching Joan Collins. Why is this guy's character written as so weak? First she hits him with the car, then she attacks him with his own briefcase, that's assault. And he does nothing! And he seems to have mommy issues on top of it. British humor is obviously different.
The laughter is real. The show was recorded in front of a live audience and any location scenes played in sequence with the studio recordings and their reaction captured.
This is indicative of the shite that UK TV put out for years, unfunny, tired, cliched turgid SHITE that the actors must have loathed doing. Most of the characters are obnoxious, the script clunks along and it is all grotesque. It's shite.
