Glad to see the various classes in the hierarchy know their places & respond appropriately, making it quite safe to proceed out of a winter`s evening, Mr Cholmondley-Warner
I say,if we all had these lessons today there would be no car thieves, shop robberies and no need for the elaborate legal defense for the ruffians! LOL
Well, one has to say that one has learned a great deal of useful information from this splendid educational short film; I shall be studying it diligently and applying the techniques in my everyday life in the most appropriate ways when accosted by scallywags, ruffians and ne´er-do-well vagabonds of all persuasions. Thanks awfully.
A most splendid tutorial of a visual nature on the bases of self-defense. I am thoroughly reassured that their application against any ruffian one might encounter when one is about one's business of a winter's evening will bring an unwelcome confrontation with a chunky desperado to a favourable conclusion for all concerned.
@@bar10ml44 Yes there is. Why are there always plonkers like you bemoaning "the good old days" and how "we don't get comedy like this nowadays!!!!" on every single bloody Harry Enfield video on RU-vid?
That's what was being said when when this came out. It was also being said when Yes Minister came out, Not The Nine O'clock New, Yes Prime Minister...........the list goes on. You are just a degree in a circle, enlessly repeating.
Well Quite---I think our colonial bretherens require a fresh injection from the Motherland. Clearly--far too much influence from those vagabonds in the Americas.
Just make sure your person is within hailing distance of the local constabulary.... oh wait a minute, this is two thousand and eighteen years anno domini …….. Good Luck!
There's something very "Dad's Armyish" about this film. Apart from the way that the characters speak, you can imagine Captain Mainwaring showing it to his platoon while training them to deal with any German paratroopers they might meet in a dark alley
Well they would certainly have been influenced by ''Public Information films', like this, with clipped posh, terrrribly terrribly English tones like these.
LOL I love how this skit has opened up a deep and frosty international discourse rather than become the site for multiple postings of how funny it bloody well is!
These are great tips after watching this I now feel safe again to venture into my town for a night out.. Thanks for this very informative video... Subded
It's good that the potato setting was used when this video was rendered, it's the only time that 240p adds to the videos realism, lol. I'd actually forgotten how good these were.
Should such a situation arise when in England (or her dominions) before going for one’s “shootin’ iron”, it is customary to offer your opponent a small-arm of equivalent stopping power before walking the requisite ten paces and turning to discharge said weapons.
Strap me perishing vitals. Ol Boris, e's gone and bloomin well brought Britain back to a land of warm beers an the sound of leather on willow e 'as, and no mistake.
There's quite a bit of nostalgia hidden under the silliness here. Ha ha! Manners then seem stiff today, mainly because modern manners are mostly vestigial.
Harry Enfield's TV prog of the 90s. Available on DVD, but these Cholmondley-Warner (pronounced Chumley) slots were a sketch each week in a mixed sketch show, similar to The Fast Show.
And it really works. I just bought a hat and an umbrella last week and went to a footballgame. As i found myself in a group of hooligans i gave them chaps a bit of rough and tumble and i only lost 10 teeth, broke 5 ribs, lost me left eye, got some ankles dislocated and they broke me nose a couple of times. Next month i will take my granddads watch to the next game and try it again, this time i will give them ol´ chaps a real clobbering.
I'm afraid old chap, your Estuary English grammar gave the game away. These defence instructions are only valid for the middle classes. An upper class gentleman would simply run the blighter through with his swordstick.
If only he had been around to tell us what to when "ambushed by cake" in one's office, we might've had something else on the news for the past couple months :)
Hahahaha brilliant I watched these many times over with Harry and his chums. Comedy at finest. The days when people did things for fun. Now everyone seems to go it with some type of political agenda to prove rather then just see it for what it is comedy. Comedy bring you fun,sunshine and love. You know the song. Morecambe and Wise. With out comedy what do we have instead a load of uptight arse holes. Nice. Future looks bright then.
😂 that last one would definitely work. There's nothing worse than then being bashed in the bullocks., I say! lol wouldn't it hurt? Christ, you're not kidding. You just don't get comedy like this anymore. Pure gold kudos to Harry Enfield
But there's a hack for that: tell them someone has told the truth on Facebook and they'll be on your doorstep in minutes. While they're there, you can then slip in that your house has been burgled and the blood pouring from your head came from the pugilistic strikes of a perishing ruffian acting with larcenous intent.
And if these don’t work, try Number 6: When the ruffian bent on larceny assails you with the phrase: “‘And over your wallet!”, quickly point out to him that he has dropped an aitch. He will instinctively bend over to look for the missing consonant, affording you the opportunity to make good your escape!
