It’s mid 2022. I’m not British. But there is something about this show that’s funny yet so comforting and calm. I watch this and all the episodes in the series that are uploaded into RU-vid. Thank you for the uploads. These really make my day and takes the sadness and unhappiness away for a little while at least. Thank you.
Still loving this show in 2022. Although all of the original cast have past on, they live on through this wonderful show!!!! God bless all reading my comment in 2022 and stay safe and healthy!
I agree, but I read in interviews her 👪 family was somewhat embarrassed 😳 by some of the shows lines, the innuendo. .... Mr. Humphreys was very big into such ____in you end oh.
@@carminemurray6624 do you mean the men underneath their dress shirts? Or something else? As for underneath dress shirts for men, I agree. It's much better looking.
It's like being invisible and standing amongst them on an average day at work. I don't think this can ever be duplicated again. They were not only actors but a wonderful team that accented each other. I really like this show. It warms me in such a fond way.
Everything was beyond him (Rumboldt), except when it came to "pulling rank" such as in the "Think Tank". I wonder whether the script writers were ridiculing the managerial class? The sequels for any show/s aren't as good as the original. The cast were aware, since they weren't novices, that to be successful they had to become a "unit". They did it so well!
@@marinazagrai1623 Many UK comedies made fun of the class system, grades or ranks, and managerial ironies, all wrapped up in double entendres, innuendo and word play. AYBS is no exception.. .
Didn't you play a part on Star Trek as The Canoodle Woman that tended to Captain Kirk when poisoned by that pink Unicorn hybrid Simeon apelike creature.
iI watch this before going to sleep. No news and no politics for me. very relaxing. Wish current series are like this series. mostly obnoxious series nowadays.
I just noticed Mr Lucas checking his watch in the opening seconds and basically shooing the customer to hurry up because it was quitting time - hilarious!
By sheet coincidence, here I am in early October 2022, doing the very same thing as you were 2 years ago, under the same conditions here in the Pacific Northwestern US, and on a Sunday to boot. I've lost track of how many episodes I've watched just today.
@@QuadMochaMatti Good evening from Penang Island, Malaysia. It's Monday here, 5.04pm. I love this show and I must thank you, but for your reply, I would have chosen to watch something else tonight. Have a good night's rest, my friend.
@@carminemurphy4836 I also agree, the writers were trying to ridicule the managerial class…there were tensions with the unions during this time so the bosses were the butt of all jokes. I read about these times in Britain.
Boy this was the best comedy, all the staff played their part very well.but Mr Humphrey and miss slocom was the boss in making us laff.😂😂they are sadly missed😔😔
I agree....the combination of the vast array of characters is spot on....plus all those players are more or less afforded the same amount of time on-screen....clever production 🍸
It's very true that Mr. Humpries and Mrs. Slocom made the show and gave it much appeal, the BBC had different ideas about it about the original casting arguing to have Mr. Humpries (John Inman) dropped from the line up as they felt the character to be inappropriate.
I grew up out in the countryside of the Arkansas delta. No cable at all. It was this, local news, or Jay Leno. AYBS wins! Afterwards I would stay up way too late to watch Upstairs, Downstairs.
In another episode here somebody suggested that she and Mrs. Slocumbe should be roommates. I said that I thought Mrs. S would kill Hyacinth in fairly short order.
its mighty abundance of material contrasted to those of today's productions is surprising me....I was just a kid watching these when they were first broadcast....fun for kids & adults 🍸
I've watched this funny show growing up with my dear late parents in the 80's and it still makes me laugh. Great memories of that time and I can still hear my Mom & Dad laughing. Cheers from British Columbia, Canada! 🥰❤
Hi tech for the early 70s, video cameras. 1976 our school got a video camera VHS recorder....for students for teaching....amazing back then. I remember seeing a Xerox copier back then too at a trade fair, had my picture taken, laid my face on the glass New Zealand 🇳🇿
Maurice...we didn't even see any Xerox copier till after the fall of Communism (by which time we had already left the country) and the first time I saw my dad's signature "Xeroxed" I didn't know what it was (somebody told me what it was). It was a sort of show and tell.
I love your post, would you mind adding me up to your friends list? We could get acquainted, that's off course if you don't mind 😊. Here's my email address stefandieter25788@gmail.com. And my whatapp number as well +15126439156
took a swig o' me cafe-au-lait as mr.Lucas said, "he's not limited like us. he can nip about & nick things from either department."😂 almost squirt☕outta my nose!
What bothers me is that employers want to talk shop during employees time but not during working time. On the other hand, they want to tell workers, "not on the company's time", when it is the workers who want to do something personal.
Used to watch this show on one of the few local channels out of Greenville, Mississippi around 10 pm or so every summer visiting my great grandparents house back in the late 80's\early 90's. Along with "Absolutely Fabulous'' and some other, older random black & white show. Andy Griffith mayhaps.
After almost thirty years of watching this show, i still find it hilarious. I even watch the Australian version as bad as it is. I really wish people still talked like this. I mean it's English, but the way it's structured and expressed is amazing. They way people structure sentences now a days is atrocious. Lazy even.
Thank you so much for posting all of these wonderful episodes. Binge watching these is a much needed and appreciated bright spot for me in these difficult times. Peace.
My mom and never missed any of the series show for over twenty yrs,there gone now,sadly they were my wolrd,my parents and I watched these and other great British comedys.i pray there available for future generations.
Captain Peacock got exactly what he deserved after chastising Mr Lucas for apparently closing early.. he’s going on and on and Mr Rhumbold says...” you seem to be in a hurry to leave Capt Peacok! Lol
I think what we see here, is the classic situation where seniors act the 'boss' role, until they get csught out or suffer the same deprivations as the minions. Then, they change their tune and start acting like minions pro temp.
Talk about predicting the future, Britain is now one of the biggest surveillance states in the world, there are cameras recording your every move now! So much for privacy.
Thats what made this show work soo well. None of them really knew what they were doing except Lucas and Brahms, as per.script. Perfect strangers to the end. Classic writing.
In real life, they would have frozen after they realized they were being watched. It's the equivalent of doing a commercial/advertisement and that's harder than you can imagine.
