Col'n Carpenter Ep 1 

I had most of these episodes from season one and all of season two on VHS but they've disappeared over the years. Thanks for this, brings back great memories. What a genius Kim Gyngell is!

I love when he finally gets Felicity’s name right, she’s so flustered she starts to correct him with Facility haha.

Thank you Stig for sharing this. Col'n Carpenter was a brilliant character - it was so much fun in the early '90s.

Peace and Respect 😂 It the simple things in life are often the best. This will be my Go To for 2021. This will be my secret weapon to keep my world in perspective. Thank you for this shining light. Every single character is beautiful This is just the tonic for the Covid blues. And once again Peace ✌️ and Respect 👍 To All.

This shows hilarious, Col n's Mum is so funny and entertaining. Thank you. I remember watching these videos back in the 1980s . Thanks for the uploads from down Under Melbourne 🦘

Thanks. Still good in 2024.

Brings back awesome memories of my childhood. My family and I still love this show and The Comedy Company. Such a great show. Thank you.

Hey Stig, many thanks for sharing this. Loved the show and watching it brought back so many good memories. Back in the day when Aussie comedy was at its best. Simple, clean and lots of laughs! 👍👌

I've tried to track this down for years. Had I known it was here, it would've saved me 3-4 years

this brings back so many memories!

Loved this show back in the day. Thanks for posting.

This is so great. This has made my 2011 one of the best, no matter what else happens from now on.

This takes me back

G'day Stig! Col'n is totally awesome. I grew up with Col'n and he still is my role model!

OMG, just found this I used to watch him all the time 😂

sweet upload thanks for the laughs and memories :)

No problem. Thanks for posting these. I watched all of the first four episodes & really enjoyed them. The show still holds up very well. I would certainly buy a DVD box set to watch the rest of these.

australian time capsule experience for australian life of the 1980s

Hey woolyhairs, glad you like it. I am in the process of finding out about a DVD box set for this show. Stayed tuned. Stig

Thanks a million for this, Stig

Thanks for posting mate. Aussie comedy just seemed so much better back in the 80's/early 90's.

I'd love to see the episode with Colin at Centrelink.

Thankyou so so so much for posting this, mate! Absolutely love it. Always have. Used to watch it when it aired on Tv back in the day.

Best show ever. Along with Colin carpet enter and uncle Arthur. Simply the best.

Hi Facility... Classic :-)

Col’n Carpenter and Dame Edna. Makes you proud to be an Aussie

Thanks Stig!! I used to record the show every night after school when it was re-run. My sister and I have just about worn the tapes away over the years. Hadn't seen any of the "blue intro screen" episodes though!

i was in the audience for the taping of that first episode, out at Nunawading... 22 years ago now. Wow it doesn't seem like that long ago.

Geez we used to love this show.

I really miss this kind of comedy via Australia....All the mid 80's greats Comedy Company, Fast Forward/Full Frontal and even Mother & Son as well?! What happened to Australia and it's once great comedy aspect, it's pretty obvious in what happened here and I don't even recognise my country anymore in 2020 or should I say the 21st century either...Hell I'd even take back "Smile You're On Candid Camera!!!" too!!! Very sad we're we've ended up in no less than 33 years plus....Ashamed.

I also would like to see the Centrelink scene so funny

Stig, my husband Archie was mates with Paul Hogan when he was painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge. That was before I met him, but he used to talk fondly of the good times he had hanging out with you, Paul and Delvine.

The woman who played Felicity/Facility, went on to play Pam Willis in Neighbours.

Glad you like it.

great show... :-)...

How could his dad teach him to put a fuse on wrong if he doesn't even remember him 🤣

Very funny scene Stig, the coln moving into shared housed scene well done stig

Kim used to go the Same Gym as me in Stkilda. We always spoke he's actually a Really nice guy ..

Unreal! So glad I had a random moment and discovered this again. Thank you very much, Stig. Any news on a dvd release?

Imagine a movie with Kim Gyngell as Col'n , just going about town and his simple ways and accidentlly doing the right thing and not realizing it.. ...... it would be amazing just to bring the character back.

Cheers

21:09 classic set up and delivery, reveals a lot about the character

Hi Stig, Congratulations on negotiating successfully with the right people. Not only would I like to own a boxed set of this series, I'd like to do a commentary for it.

Yeah. I agree. Awesome.

Any chance of posting more episodes? I loved this show and have been looking for episodes for years, Great show and great cast, except for that Micheal character. J/K

Hi Stig. Your brother used to come & talk regularly at my school for something called Police Studies (if i'm not mistaken), around the time this show was on the air. Would have been 1990 & i was in grade 6 at the time. He was then 'Constable' Wemyss.

Awesome seeing this show again. Do you have anymore episodes? Can't get them anywhere.

I'd forgotten about those Koala print things on the Lounge Glass Doors, lol

Korea woman hahahahaha!!!!! Sugar? Yeah, seven thanks hahaha!!!

Thank you Stig had no idea who you were but I remember coln as a kid know I'm showing my teenagers!!!!! Can't wait for the sole shop one it's me favourite

Yo ... Coln is just like my ex father in law. (I'm sure most people know a Coln.) Very funny. Stig, did you write this?

Hi Stig do you have all the episodes of The Colin Carpenter Show on dvd?

Do you have other seasons?

Ha!Ha! This is a classic Aussie comedy show. I work with a guy just like Col'n. Mmuch better than the dry American stuff you get on TV.

@stigwemyss Col'n Carpenter box set - who would have thought! I'll be investing for sure. I remember "Dusty Daffodils" or something - Colin got a job on building site moving bricks from one end of a yard to the other, then he over did the Dencorub on his tired legs haha. And he wore shorts that episode = Michael said "I didn't think you even owned a pair of shorts", TELEVISION GOLD!

The vegetarian joke was a cracker.

Ah yes, well he's still in force and is an inspector now. I don't think he adresses grade six classes anymore but I'm sure he's pleased some one remembered. Thanks for the feedback Dave.

I think Colns mother was Pat O'Connell from Prisoner.

Can someone tell me the lyrics of the opening theme song?

Does anyone recorded old mtv épisodes with richard wilkins ?

Hey Doug, would love to have you do the commentary. Who better!

No. I am working on it.

This looks like Frank Spencer from 'Some Mothers do Ave em' - gotta be a take off on that

please is there a dvd available? bex set ? thanks

❤

Kinda disappointed he didn't play his mom and dad like he did in comedy company

History his story Col 'n

Im alive again

Was this a pilot show for Kim Gignell ?? That wasn’t taken up

lol funny

you speak english well for a korean woman , ha ha

I guess we just didn't need Colin Carpenter, when Mr. Bean was coming to Fame around this time.

19:13 her outfit would be worn just as easily today.

Sub #420! Coincidence? I think not

who are the there ppl..they look familiar.. facility and the mum.. the Julia? and co habitant...

julia looks a lot like suzi porter

Word has it that Col’n was the first democrat in Australia.... I can neither confirm or deny this.

Not as good as the Comedy Company, but better than watching Foxtels Noom, Finder and other ads a thousand fucken times a day. It’s a bit of harmless fun, not hilarious, but it’s good laugh

He’s a walking stuff up.

I like this show because the main guy sounds like Jim Jefferies. That's Jefferies with three Es

This was one of the desperate attempts to keep some of the most popular characters alive after the axing of the Comedy Company.

The best ever funny my name is colin

hello reddit! hello /u/Coln_carpenter

I find this rather sad, having many diagnosed with ADHD and autism and other mental illnesses

Everyone over acts soooo much!!! Still funny though

Colin suffers from narcissistic parents syndrome.Didnt realise how shît this program was till i watched again years later.

Should of stayed a skit. Total cringe fest.

wow such bad acting cringeworthy

I don't find this funny
