@@frybelcher I've been a Gary Oldman fan for decades. I've seen shows that had Gary Oldman in them, and I didn't know it was him. That's how good he is.
My grandma bumped into Michael Caine and forgot his name to his face! " Oh my god you're.... You're... You're!" Michael raised an eyebrow and responded "Michael Caine?" And she went "That's it! That's you! You're him!"
Not being able to afford a place where to live at in London doesn't mean that they're all cunts. We are going to get your tiny town and burst it the hell off
My god, I've become old! I really miss programmes like this. Wit, humour and intelligence from some people who have actually done something! Joey Essex and his ilk's, celebration of ignorance, combined with their revelry and bewilderment in being baffled by the most basic of facts known to at the least synaptically- functioning human adult is simply embarrassing. And they earn more than nurses, engineers and people who are educated, productive, but not painted orange..
exactly what I think - Joey Essex - famous for being thick , Gemma Collins - famous for being a diva , Jade Goody - famous for being a pig ignorant racist - people like tat do my head in
The world would be so much worse off without Billy Connolly and his inimitable sense of humour. Thank you for all the laughs and the "wee jobbies", Billy.
I like his "useless facts". I read Michael's book once, and he told a funny story about Charlie Chaplin entering a Charlie Chaplin lookalike competition, and coming third :D
American TV host once asked Michael Caine, "How do you properly say your name ?" He answered, "You just say 'My' and then 'Cocaine'. That's the proper way". Go ahead. Say it ! ;-)
@@bansheewhiskey that's what makes it funny isn't it. Michael Caine is a true Cockney. He came from the same place in London as me. Such great sense of humour.
+Skwisgar2322 So, information is situational. Therefore, it can be useless. Like that saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure". So, from there's always someone's point of view, where any piece of information can useless or a life saver.
Skwisgar2322 Shit! Did I leave that here? I was reading comments before I watched the video. Rookie mistake, it won't happen the next time we meet. *stares intently and then runs to the corner of the basement*
I'm a lot like Caine--I remember the most useless bits of trivia that I accumulate from God knows where. And now I know that no place in England is more than 52 miles from the sea.
Legend. Never disappeared up his own arse, a icon, especially to working class Londoners. Without Caine there would be no Hoskins, Oldman, Winston. His performance in Educating Rita is imbued with a sense of pathos and proves if it was needed that he’s a great actor.
Now that most actors and indeed celebrities in general are master politicians, we can more appreciate those like Caine and Connolly who remain true to their craft and talent and if they do venture out of their "skillset" , dont make arses of themselves.
Brillianr, I've always been a fan, Caine not Parkinson, but what about Connolly? The funniest man on the planet and he never said a word, just laughed at his friend's performance. That is class, sheer class.
David Marker Snr. Funniest man on the planet? Calm down😂 hardly the funniest. If it wasn’t for his accent and swearing, no one would notice him. Great actor is all.
i had the privelge to meet this man and it was possibly the most amazing experience of my life. he just cuts it down to pure and social physics.what an amazing comedian. Billy is by far the best comedian scotland has ever produced. in a long line of accolades including Frankie Boyle, and Kevin Bridges
These real ppl are dying out in entertainment and were left with stage school glossy arses or (in UK) Eton/oxford/cambridge actors who are technically great but have little personality.
I had no idea just how entertaining and funny Michael Caine can be. He's not a pretentious stuck up egotist, just a man who's had an amazing life. It probably helps that he's relaxed here as he's with two people he's known for years so can let his guard down a bit. Weirdly he reminds me of David Niven, a raconteur and wit who can act and always has a good story in him. I suppose I could say the same about Billy too actually. And for all the fun guests seem to have on Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross, Parky seems to have a way of connecting with his guests that very few others can (except for Meg Ryan of course!).
Michael Caine found the secret of acting in big Hollywood Movies (although he was vastly more talented than most of the Hollywood legends) along with Sean, Billy, Bogart, Burton et al.....the secret is this......play yourself.
@@Harrier_DuBois a prime example is his first big part was an upper crust British Officer ... and he was perfect. However, I am sure he imagined that officer as himself .. I mean he literally crawled into the character as if he was British Aristocracy.
Parkinson was discontinued and he was off the telly for many years. They offered him a show with a smaller budget, but he insisted on a big band to play the intro theme; that was expensive and he wouldn't budge. Finally someone with a brain and a memory was in charge and he got his show back. Nobody has ever hosted a talk show better than Parky.
first of all no one could get a word in , even michael parkinson. Besides , who would want to interrupt him. Hes so interesting with his stories. just pleasure listening to him...I also love listening to barry humphries , and edna
Wanna see a great movie? Michael Caine and Sean Connery in "The Man Who Would Be King." John Huston directed. One of the best movies, ever!!!! Get it, watch it, you will love it....
I was a plumber in Beverly Hills. My favorite people to work for were Michele Caine, Glenn Ford, Charles Bronson and Robert Stack. They would hang out and talk. Always fun and laughs with Robert and Charles.
He's right about "caddy" from "cadet," but he's completely wrong about marmalade. To quote Wiktionary: "From French marmelade, from Portuguese marmelada (“quince jam”), from marmelo (“quince”), from Latin melimelum (“sweet apple”), from Ancient Greek μελίμηλον (melímēlon), from μέλι (méli, “honey”) + μῆλον (mêlon, “apple”)."
It's so weird seeing Michael Caine young. You see someone play this old wise character all your life and then see him young,, it's a lil weird , you feel me ?
Michael Caine is cool! He has such an aura, brilliant comedy timing, and somehow comes across as just a normal bloke. A chat with this three down the pub would be very enjoyable.
marmalade /ˈmɑːməleɪd / ▸ noun [mass noun] a preserve made from citrus fruit, especially bitter oranges. - ORIGIN late 15th cent.: from Portuguese marmelada ‘quince jam’, from marmelo ‘quince’, based on Greek melimēlon (from meli ‘honey’ + mēlon ‘apple’).
I used to love a fresh kipper for breakfast but the only kippers you can get these days are kipper fillets vacuum packed in supermarkets , so much for being in the EU .
Billy Connelly having Parkinson's and being on Parkinson's so much is blowing my mind a bit. I hope he's doing well as he can be these days. That's one of the funniest dudes on earth
Billy is a real pro here - just lets Michael do all the talking. By the way Chic Murray was a brilliant deadpan Scottish comedian = he was hilarious as a headmaster in GREGORYS GIRL. He slipped and fell in the street once and when a passer by asked if he has fallen down Chic replied "No, Ive a bar of chocolate in my back pocket and Im trying to break it"
Caine tells a tall story about Mary Queen of Scots and marmalade - "Ma'am est malade" - nice, but pure bollocks. In a pedantic mood I checked it out and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "marmalade" appeared in the English language in 1480, borrowed from French marmelade which, in turn, came from the Galician-Portuguese marmelada. According to José Pedro Machado’s Dicionário Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa, the oldest known document where this Portuguese word is to be found is Gil Vicente’s play Comédia de Rubena, written in 1521: The extension of "marmalade" in the English language to refer to citrus fruits was made in the 17th century, when citrus first began to be plentiful enough in England for the usage to become common. In Portuguese, according to the root of the word, which is marmelo, "quince", marmelada is a preserve made from quinces, quince cheese. Marmelo in turn derives from Latin melimelum, "honey apple" which in turn comes from the earlier Greek μελίμηλον (melímēlon), from "μέλι" (meli), "honey" + "μήλον" (mēlon), "apple". Not a lot a people know that.
