HARRY ENFIELD YORKSHIRE MAN 

*Rita, Sue and Bob Too* (1987) written by a *Bradford* writer, set in *Bradford,* and filmed in *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film,* is one of the greatest *Yorkshire* films of all time. It also features *Dene Michael* and *Alan Barton* from *Black Lace* (a partly Bradford band) singing *"Gang Bang"* in one scene, which can be found on RU-vid, along with the full film.

Harry Enfield made a sketch called the Benny Elton Show, in which Ben Elton took the piss out of himself brilliantly.

We're not all like him, in Yorkshire. Just most of us.

Yorkshireman here, from Morley. This is not a comedy, it's actually a documentary!

Wasnt that Charlie Higson with tje pony tail (sounded like him)? Have you seen any of The Fast Show?

You are making me almost piss myself, apologies 😂 just so funny

If you're watching this and not a Brit of a certain age, just take our word for it: that bit about Leeds being a byword for sophistication was piss funny at the time this was broadcast.

Have you ever seen some of Kenny Everett's sketches--- he was hilarious.

Comedy is crap these days. The worst thing I've seen on TV is Celebrity Karaoke Club.... It's soooooo bad!! Comedy is doomed now. ❤

You ought to see some Les Dawson monologues, and then his piano playing.

loved it when you said " you need to be open " to things !! because your mind is just like a parachute - if it isn't open, it's useless ?????

Racism in Yorkshire cricket is a current issue - but nothing to how it was back then. Compounded by the fact that for a very long time (until 1992) you actually had to be born in Yorkshire to play for the county. They were the last, for example, to even allow overseas guest players.

Eddy, just stumbled on to your site, your laugh is infectious. Have you ever seen anything from Stuart Lee? Started in the 90's I think. Start with Stuart Lee Braveheart. Give it go fella. Great vids Thanks .

You have to watch Hale and Pace Yorkshire Airlines. Very funny. Good stuff. :)

That was irony even back then, never get away with it now of course with the woke culture that seems to be taking over. Harry and Paul are great comedians. Great vid Eddie 😂

Eddie harry is playing your stereotypical Yorkshire man,play for Yorkshire he means cricket @one time you needed to be born in Yorkshire.

Mores the pity we had humour in our comedy in those days it is pathetic now with all this PC nonsense

Just love British sense of humour anyway!! Harry Enfield is great. React to more Cstherine Tate and Little Britain

Watch Harry Enfield(women know your place)absolutely awesome

Eddie have you tried love thy neighbour, carshare,max&paddy,it crowd.

miss the old days when joking was allowed.....

Lmao 👍

Watch some Roy Chubby Brown

'shite'... a much under used word... 😅

best thing is thats me now except i'm a Lancs man :D i like to remind folk how it actually is and none of the namby panby shite..

Nowt wrong with been honest Eddy .... only thing all thus la dee daa gets us is ,similar to the way tech is leading us . Less and less interactions mean a lower intellect if species ... the comedy of yester year had your mind racing .... And helps to be thick skinned , as tines you need to shrug a chip off the shoulder and just laugh at life's servings!!

I don't think comedy like this wouldn't be on telly now because of political correctness. It's just because the jokes are old. Like the catherine tate gay jokes are relevant to how society was 20 years ago. Same with little britain Dafydd or harry enfield's gay dad. Of course all these homphobias and sexisms still exist but 20 years ago it was the norm on a way it isnt now. So its rewlly funny to watch still, buy a new comedy coming out with the same kind of jokes would feel a bit out of place.
