I can't believe that I watched this as a child and find that I'm now ten years older than Diana Coupland was when she starred in this. That's hard to get my head around. Sally Geeson is as beautiful as I remember her. I had a crush on her even when I was eight years old. She's now 71. Incredible.
I was 20 when this episode was aired in 1976, sadly Diana and Sid are no longer with us, Robin Stewart (Mike) had also died, a few others in this were also dead.
@@johnmanning5568 I had not noticed and didn't know WGS was such a lucky man (or anything at all about him other than his 15 to 1 hosting. I just read his Wikipedia page. He had an interesting life. Thanks for the info.
It is believe me it has changed so much and not for the better either we got dumped with immigration by force not by choice and it annoys me when they say “london is multicultural “ and it is but we didn’t have a choice the government just let it happen then they moan about being discriminated etc like it was their choice to come here and take all our work and money away from us so what do they expect
Of course it is, TV is just junk now.... Feels like a cultural dark age. I'm constantly amazed at the stuff from the 70s, 80s and 90s that I discover. I wonder when the BBC, ITV etc stopped bothering to actually provide quality output. BBC doesn't deserve public funding anymore.

Evan AB You are absolutely right as it ran for five years from 1971 to 1976 . How time flies. Sid James died when I was 5 he died aged 62 on stage in front of an audience in April 1976. What a very sad loss to comedy but he will never be forgotten. Love from the UK ❤️🙏👍
Why can't they make shows like this anymore, so great to see, growing up we had the bless this house movie on video and watched it, till it wore out. Great show, thanks for uploading! 😊😎👍🎬🎥📺
Because they are stupid due to two grown up kids were still at home, plus that silly daughter irritated me calling her parents mummy and daddy - that’s why.
@@jacksugden8190 yes it's part of the times I suppose, was part of the carry on series /franchise. Started in late 50s to the 70s simpler time I suppose. Thanks.
Political correctness is ignorance masked in manners, the outrage mob seem to find it inconceivable that those they feel obliged to defend are capable of their own jokes too, as if gay and black people haven't their own jokes about straights and whites, I'm sure the writers of such material didn't think it was all one way traffic and gave more credit to those who were the butt of their jokes than those who take offense which is probably why they thought nothing of writing them, it wasn't out of ignorance it was out of an awareness that the offended shield themselves from and in turn leap to the defence of out of guilt of their own actual ignorance
@@PreservationEnthusiast She married the producer: Many years her senior. I suspect that stifled her acting career....She became a teacher after. William G Stewart..... It's all there. IMDB.
@@patagualianmostly7437 With some of these actresses they further their careers by willingly screwing every producer and director they can get their hands on. Its called bedding your way up. Later on when they are wizened old crones and can't get any work, they get more cash by claiming "me too" and rape allegations. Double dipping ;)
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?
@@selenaannesmith1604 yes sorry I got a little confused because it is a different actor who plays him in the movie so when I say this i was like where did her brother go and how come her boyfriend wasn’t in the movie
Agree. I didn’t mind it but for me, it would never have been in my top 5 English tv comedies (On the Buses, Porridge, Open all Hours, AYBS, Yes Minister etc). Although my dad loved it and at the time I certainly watched it.
@@paulcorbin7495 Just because I don't like this terrible show? I love plenty of comedies from this era, Dad's Army, On The Buses, Love Thy Neighbour, Steptoe And Son, Till Death Us Do Part. This just isn't in the same league as any of those.
