It'll Be Alright on the Night - ITV - November 1985 

The clip of the two men trying to find the trees that had been planted in Blanchland is a classic!

The tree chap is so earnest and precise (except in finding the trees of course) - and the reporter's reactions - hilarious.

this was when Rory actually did impressions that sounded like the people he was impersonating.

"Who locked the damn door? HELP!" "The world's most unstoppable all-terrain vehicle" Hahahaha!

'Was that an omen?' 'No, it was a new one!' 🤣

Rory bremner here in Denis nordens seat before Denis norden appeared to take over

Purchase one...as a kid that clip nearly killed me 😂😂😂

Always loved that General barking "THE ANSWER'S NO."!

No-one beats the late Norden. Not this guy, Rhys-Jones or David Walliams.

Wonderful. So glad you uploaded this. :-)

Very odd that they give half of the show over to Rory Bremner.

Say what you like about Bremner his Denis Norden was spot on.

The host ruined it for me, couldn't bear to watch it all. These shows don't need someone hosting them as it is.

Terrible replacement for Denis.... no one Is capable of polishing his shoes Yet itv think they can do this show justice...never...

I remember this when it came out

Give me Rory Bremner any day as long as its not Keith Lemmon.

Always thought Rory was terrible, this is proof. Ever understood his fame!

but a lot of this was repeated for the xmas one in '85.

Nice

Cant watch this with bremner buggering it up cant even recognise any of his impressions

It is just impossible to guess who Rory Bremner is “impersonating” .

Lol I love the irony of advertising suits that will supposedly not date quickly with a suit that was probably dated before it had even had many washes. Patterns like that always age fast. They'd be better off advertising something in one neutral colour

That repetition means the bird probably thinks it's doing what you want. You have to be careful with animals. You can easily teach them the wrong thing when you're trying to teach something else, particularly smart ones like cockatoos. I've actually trained a few myself, and had a couple of incidents where I accidentally encouraged a behaviour I didn't mean to lol

Why do they ALWAYS freeze the clip when it gets interesting?

Oh, Bremner was doing an impression was he?

Anyone any idea what that extraordinary clip is from at 21.32? I suspect that like the ice skating one earlier, it's a fake.

Did I just see Rory Bremner doing Alan Freeman?

Doesn't even sound like him

The lady at 23:13 looks like Marty Feldman.

6:40 whats this fruitcake's problem???

That curly haired guy is unbelievably bad.

that bird is probably still alive while there is a good chance that those two humans are dead - last laugh, laugh best

This show really only starts at the 15min mark-- Rory was actually TERRIBLE!

Possibly the worst lager in the world.

14:30 Why is the host "impersonating" Denis Norden as if he had advanced Parkinsons??

Rory bremner is dreadful here.

Bremner was as funny as a boil on a cyclists arse.

If this is only the second worst, the worst must have been truly dire. I managed the first ten minutes by fast-forwarding when that twerp was trying unsuccessfully to be funny, but then gave up. Definitely a thumbs-down.
