Yeah, everyone had sky in the 80s. :/ Its 2020, ive never had sky, ive refused out of principle, cant stand the company. Dont stop me free streaming or free downloading their crap tho.
There was barely a channel 5 back then or if there was it was really new. Sky was for well off people back then. There are still people who can't afford it now. Telly was alot better back then though. It's rubbish now.
Even today with hundreds of channels on sky barely anything worth watching unless it's old stuff which is what I looks for, I wouldn't have sky someone else in the house pays for it as they want it. When there were less channels the quality of TV was much better. I remember there being only 3 channels then channel 4 started around 1984 if it wasn't 83, then around 1993 along came channel 5 very bad picture to begin with. There was cable TV starting up but it didn't have many subscribers. The nation was entertained with first 2 channels, then 3, then 4 and it was the best years of television, talented presenters, talented actors, great scripts. Can't beat it.
I loved this show back in the day, along with many, many others (Only Fools, Two Ronnies, One foot in the grave, Keeping up appearances... the list goes on). The TV now is absolute crap. I only ever watch RU-vid these days.
I love the look of realisation and horror on Eileen's face @ 6:33 when she says "Oh, it ain't Beadle?" Some people think these were staged, but unless she was a brilliant actress this is clearly genuine. This was one of the best.
Knowing how television works, especially back then, I'd say it's reasonable to assume some of the pranks were staged. But who's to say that some weren't real? I agree if this was staged then she's a hell of an actress. I would like to think this one is real for sure.
Brilliant- bring the programme back- this is what tv needs- good entertainment and a laugh? Make me feel not so bad about paying an extortionate TV licence!!!
This kind of show drew the viewers in by the millions so why hasn't it been brought back? Poor Jeremy isn't with us any longer but there must be someone that can do a half decent job as a replacement. The 70's were fantastic years for TV and compared to the rubbish today it is a decade never to be forgotten for sheer entertainment. Bring this show back and make TV brilliant again.
The politically correct police would have a field day with every episode. That's one of the reasons why I don't watch TV any more! I agree, they were great fun.
Hahaha....brilliant . British comedy at its best. Miss those shows. I was petrified that she would have a stroke or heart attack right there. Shows thestrong suff they were made if back then. Brilliant.
When the telly was worth watching and the country was worth fighting for. RIP Great Britain. My ancestors fought for you but future generations sold you to the highest bidder
I love how she keeps it more or less together until the man from the council asks her why she's changed her locks, and then she really loses it and the language starts 😂
I actually remember this one. Is your wife still in touch with Eileen? I appreciate a lot can happen in the years since this aired. Hope you are all well.
"Oh, it ain't Beadle". Back in the 90s that was something that most people understood. People just don't put up with stupid 4rsed council workers and idiots doing crazy things. People are wise to it now.
Why did she not walk into her house and call the police. Im genuinely epileptic. Stress can and has caused me to have seizures. If i was in that situation I'd fake a seizure to freak out the actors abd get a litte revenge
