It would have been another series, or episode at least if Mr Beaucomp had been the one who got the job. There would have been fireworks between those two.
I love it when Mr. Goldberg says "Corporal Peacock" the first time, seeing how huge Peacock's eyes get. You'd swear they were going to pop out of his head.
I'm here as well in 2022, British comedy here seemingly timeless as I lived/worked in London years ago. Indeed laughter infectious with this talented group every time I visit Grace Brothers! CHEERS!!
I'm absolutely delighted to have come across the posts of this wonderful series. They are like a worn and comfortable pair of shoes that you can't get rid of. Thanks so much for the postings!!!
What did Tebb's do that was unforgettable? How about the time he pretended to be a Greek vicor / priest... and pulled it off... Oh, besides that, nothing. L😄L
🐙Mr Tebbs had a great voice...I wonder did he do any narration, like audio books. I'd love to listen to him reading something like the Wind In The Willows. Just a wonderful voice.
Mr. Tebbs also acted as a rich man, was it a ship builder to help save Grace Brothers from take over. They all had additional parts then. He was hysterical with currants in his ears from a wedding cake on the head.
I do recall that back in the 1970's , I would look forward in anticipation to viewing this program every other Sunday afternoon, when the local PBS station in San Antonio, TX. would broadcast the show. I am so glad that RU-vid, Kris, Leo, and otherA.Y.B.S. fans uploaded these great episodes.
PBS WFSU here. My youngest daughter and I watched them in the 80s/90s. She's hearing impaired and has been told she has a slight English accent, and always blames it on watching this show!
@@eboracum2012 with all due respect, if she is hearing impaired, how did she catch the accent? TV just playing louder than people normally speak in a conversation?
Why was it every other Sunday? I guess I am so used to (when I watched TV) to count on seeing British comedy every Sunday night. They probably still play As Time Goes By as they have for years, decades even. Then there was The Vicar of Dibley (a personal favorite), Keeping Up Appearances, Moone Boy, IT Crowd, Spy and many others. A shame PBS came out on regular TV once they went digital, with a channel specific for kids, while still having kids programing most of the day on the regular PBS channel and not have a British Comedy channel set up for that purpose. The arts and crafts/travel channel was kind neat though.
Sandra Jovic PatrolOfficer161 Daniel Smith I likes Grainger, Tebs, and Goldberg. They should have given Grainger a “farewell party” for Grainger in honour Of Arthur who had died. His wife died, and he got so depressed that he quit the show, stayed with their daughter for a month, then sadly passed away from grief shortly after.
@@tilap19 On one hand, that's true yet on the other hand, all manner of vulgarity is allowed and expletives pass for humour. Just bad taste and nonsense. I'm so grateful to the people who upload these wonderful old British comedies and programs. Thank you so much!
doesnt matter what crap is going on,,,sitting in bed with glass of whiskey watching one after the other just makes the world better,,,remember this as kid so fond memories esp now i get the jokes lol
I am thankful. There are millions of homeless displaced persons across this planet, who have no bed, no screens, and no safety whatsoever. ==I cast my Galactic vote, that ALL sentient beings have a safe place tonight , nourishment, safe water supply, and opportunity for growth.
Very True, the actors and real characters they brought to life brought laughter and happiness. The actors and actresses very believable, and they did become family!!!
@Marinka RMC That's not exactly how it works. We are all separated from God because of our sin. Jesus died to pay for those sins so that those who hear the message of salvation and believe and repent, can receive the promise of salvation and live forever in God's presence. Those who don't have chosen a different fate.
@@TheJackdratt73 Heaven IS real, but there is a prerequisite to getting there, and that is to believe and repent. Good deeds aren't weighed against bad ones. That's man's attempt to get to heaven. God's standard is to believe in Him, repent of your sin of living your life apart from Him, and then striving to live an obedient and perfect life, being lead by the Holy Spirit.
Sadly not every episode was on RU-vid to begin with, but after Brit Box came out, at least half were removed or has something to do with territories and won't play, even though the video itself is still up.
@doctorwho0077 Ha ! Yes, that always cracked my up when Mrs Slocumbe would make a comment & then utter , "...and I am unanimous in this !" Thank you so much for your follow up comment ! CHEERS ! :-)
Tamer Aydogdu It’s no wonder that she started wearing wigs. Her hair probably was fried. However, Mrs Slocombe had many of the cutting edge one-liners, most of the were about her 🐈
In prison i had a TV in my cell my&my cellmate use to watch these every night on a public access channel 2 episodes then 2 episodes of Keeping up Appearances then red green&some travel show
When I was living in Lewisville, Texas back in 2003, I remember seeing the entire series sold on DVD in Barnes & Noble. The price was $121. I thought that it was worth purchasing at the time, though I couldn't buy it. Now that I see the series on RU-vid, I wish it were shown in broadcast order once again...
I was gifted the entire series and movies by my daughter. When I was young we got stationed in Germany. After a week of being there scared I saw this show and it made me laugh..I wasn't as scared and looked forward to watching it every week.
@@mariroberts231 …it’s good to have something tangible to remember or hang onto in uncertain circumstances. Good to remain grounded at times. I’m glad you were helped when you needed it…
'''OH I KNOW THAT FACE, DON'T TELL ME....'''''CORP. PEACOCK........'''LOLLOLLOLLOOOLLOL'''' THE LOOK ON PEAKCOCKS FACE IS WORTH A MILLION BUCKS......OR SHALL I SAY.....,POUNDS...
Sandra Jovic it was just an observation not an insult. As people get older their skin sags. Happens to a lot of people. Baggy eyes sagging skin and neck waddles are a fact of life. It makes plastic surgeons a lot of money due to vanity. Check into how many younger people have botox injections due to their vanity.

Did you know that Alfie Bass (Mr. Goldberg) actually had a very small part in the James Bond movie Moonraker? In Venice, he played the hobo who coughs and throws away a cigarette when he walks on a bridge and an open coffin passes beneath him.
0:55 The fact that he only left teeth marks in his cake is hilarious knowing that the actor who played Mr. Tebbs left the series in order to be the spokesman for a fancy cake/baked goods company.
I can still watch this after over 40 years, and still find this as funny as the first time I seen it. Must admit that they should have never replaced Mr Grainger as they were never as good as Mr Grainger, but it was still enjoyable anyway...
It Pays To Advertise was his last show. He died 6 weeks after his wife, in Sept. Of 1972. She had been sick for a while and his last episodes he was suffering from depression. They had been married for over 50 years.
2023 & 4EVA BC THIS IS STILL & ALWAYS WILL BE MY SHOW.... FROM PBS (BC THERE WAS NO CABLE OR TV AFTER 11PM) TO NOW THIS CAST OF CHARACTERS ARE THE BEST!!!

@@fortysomethingbadgirls2173 not sure if he was *making out* with them. As the writers of the show would say, "it's in your mind" (ones personal perception or interpretation of what one sees)
Jacques Mertens - It surly would have been a rare thing, being able to fill that void, as replacing a front line character is seldom successful. Tebbs & Goldberg each had their charm, but neither captured me like crotchety old Granger, with a burr under his butt. The only really successful replacement (In a British comedy) was the part of 'our Rose' in, ''Keeping up Appearances". Might be just personal taste, but I liked the second one, much more.
Mr. Webster ( Tony sympson). Is the same guy who came in with his wife looking for a bathing suit, who came out without the suit and ran back in the dressing room…..LOL His wife was lady weeble able smith LOL
@@DanielSmith-xr9lj most people don't get it. There's also a thing about my GENIUS comments. Lacks in thumbs up too. THEY JUST DON'T GET IT! But thanks to those who do get it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
In the United States, as long as I've been alive, you haven't been allowed to ask that question at a job interview. Even in the German job market, they didn't ask my age, but the woman said her dog was the reason she was considering hiring me. I thought that was strange. Dogs don't usually like me, because they notice I have a cat; I have cat hairs on me. Hers was a small dog with a great big mouth, like most small dogs, but she leapt onto my lap. She probably noticed I have cat. Dogs have the keenest noses. That's supposedly why I got the job: the dog liked me, assuming it was me - not my cat - in whom she was interested.
@@lithuang I knew someone living in a flat, who had a pet hamster, and her neighbour below complained that it was making too much noise when let loose on the floor...
The man that worked for a long time at Derry and Tom's and that lives in a packing case in Covent garden was Claude Shork the cook who thinks he is a gardener in the movie the pink panther strikes again.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
You would have to wait a long time, probably under hot lights. You'd be made to laugh, when there is nothing funny and see the same bit done again and again until they got it right. Provided you did not mind the plot ruined for you, this would be one more way to connect to the cast and crew. I would not mind it, if time allowed.
My kids grew up watching this Poirot, Mr. Bean and so many other others. They all had such laugh, and a delicious treat, when Humphrey Slocum Ice cream parlor opened up in San Francisco 🍦😁.
That's really funny Mr. Humpries dismissing the campy job candidate but if you think about it, that does happen in the gay community; the reigning queen will not give up her throne she's the one and only and no other will take my place even if they have a lower position.
No - only some. The biggest problem I had as a manager was dealing with female employees versus other females (supervisors or employees). I once had WW3 on my hands ... tears and everything! ... simply as we had relocated offices and in the new location, one supervisor had a cubicle that was a foot wider than another's. This was simply because of structural columns and how the cubicle guys were forced to lay things out.
geekbaritone a lot of people have those qualities, in bits maybe. Human/animal nature to have feelings of insecurities and jealousy. And some of the best, genuinely kindest people I know can have those things pop up sometimes. It's fine. Nobody's perfect.
At 1:57, Capt. Peacock mentioned the boardroom on the "6th floor"...??? Thought it was on the 5th floor, as the building is only 5 stories high? Well, shiver me timbers...???
Mrs. Slocombe showed her humanity toward the old man interviewing by wanting Mr. Harmon to give him a cup of tea. She was really touched. Mr. Humphries didn't like Beecham because he was too much like himself!

0:57 Well John Inman and the others left behind a brilliant comedy series, I only discovered it after most of them were already gone, yet I still fell in love with all of them.
"A nippy was a waitress who worked in the J. Lyons & Co tea shops and cafés in London. Beginning in the late 19th century, a J. Lyons waitress was called a 'Gladys'. From 1926, because the waitresses nipped (moved quickly) around the tea shops, the term 'Nippy' came into use." Nearly forty years of watching British "telly" and the slang still has me flummoxed.
