Great comedy series of my younger years lovely to be able to enjoy again people in 2023 will also look back in 2073 and remember there favourite tv series its the way of it all time flies so just enjoy the trip
Agree totally. The BBC used to do great comedies but they are an absolute disgrace these days. I haven't paid the licence fee in years and never will again.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I grew up with these comedies , Hancocks half hour . likely lads . Re visiting them now what I notice is the characters are depressed with life and argumentative
9:23 Bit of a continuity problem there. It was only a few episodes ago that Bob was being berated for being an aggressive driver. SPOILER ALERT: Having Bob suddenly and without warning cheat on Thelma was quite a clumsy move by the writers. It totally undermined the character displayed by Bob over the last two seasons.
Bob always had a roving eye, but he continually blamed Terry for leading him astray when he never actually did. He was never as innocent as he liked to make out and quite the hypocrite too. Also, there is a time lapse between the last episode of the series and this Christmas special. It's September and Thelma says, "You haven't even seen Terry since Easter."
Season 2 Episode 14 Christmas Special is Whatever happened to the likely lads not the likely lads. There were 3 series of The Likely Lads between 1964 & 1966 This was followed by 2 series of Whatever happened to the likely lads in 1973 to 1974
@@sports872 The first series of the likely lads started in December 1964 and ran through Christmas and on till the end of January 1965 but non of them were classified as specials series 2 and 3 aired in the middle of the year so no specials. Only one of whatever happened to the likely lads was on at Christmas and that was 2-14
@@truthgiver8286 thanks. That's a pity. Really enjoyed that. I used to watch repeats in the 90s of this on BBC2 I'm sure. I would have been about 8/9/10. Always liked it. Enjoy it more now that I'm an adult but I've only watched odd episodes. That episode has made go and watch the it from the first episode of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads. I will after posting this. I don't remember Bob being like that with other woman. I always thought he was under the thumb and knew his place. I love how careful and nervous he can be. The two of them are great together but love Bob.
