What a fantastic lady Hylda Baker was. A true master of the spoken word. You just don’t see talent like this now. A time when we were truly entertained by people who were truly talented. ❤️ 29/10/20
Gosh! I've watched all my DVDs of all the eight seasons of this 'classic' comedy - and the movie this clip is taken from so many times, I know all the scripts by heart, yet still find them funny and laugh out loud... What modern comedies can do that? Great stuff! God Bless Hylda Baker!
Isn't Madge Hindle good as Lily too? She was Alf Robert's wife,Renee in Coronation St,she wore big glasses like Deidre,she was killed off in a car crash in 1980.
Wasn't this clip from the movie version of Nearest & Dearest, I'm sure I've got it somewhere. I have the whole series of the show, including the spin off series Not on Your Nellie. Hylda was hilarious in both, the Mistress of Verbal Dyslexia. Brilliant Stuff. r.i.p. Hylda.
Don't You Mean SEVEN series...? I love this, it was my mum (gawd bless her) who got me into the series when she watched it on the then GRANADA + channel on cable/sat. Sitcoms Are now Dead These Days.....!!! It's the fault of being PC...!!
Hylda baker was that artiste born to entertain, its a skill art talent ,and its born in you and you tune it to fit size or form,whatever audience, ,its in every part of the manner of the body,eyes ,speech ,legs timing whatever ,its there and its there to entertain people, to lift them" or bring them to a place of atmospheric time,, watch Jimmy Jewel,Norman Wisdom Laurel and Hardy etc ,its so very sad, the times we are living in, I wonder where entertainment laughter sadness excitement, stillness musical" are going to come from, No theatre's clubs pubs and outdoor venues can't cater for warmth individual contact, neither media manufactured TV etc
She stalled then she and Alf changed places,then a lorry came speeding round the corner,Alf jumped clear and Renee was seriously injured,then die din hospital,shame cause I liked her in Corrie.
