egads, 15 years ago, a world apart, a world in another dimension, viewed through the lens of the jaded future. still, lots of laughs and fun. Thanks for these!
24:28 'I think you're commendably honest Boris', it must have been a very long time ago (if one believes that Boris sneezed; which obviously he didn't.
Watching this nearly 20 year old episode I was like "oh, Joan Collins, I wonder when she died". She posted new selfies 3 days ago, looking about half her age.
6:16 I bet in 2020 no one is laughing at Richard Massingham now. See, we should have took those Public Information films more seriously in the 1930/40s 🤔😉
Hislop taking the piss out of Boris, if only he knew he was actually giving him a lot of credit and making him look human. Would have been better ignoring him and making it a boring episode.
To be fair Johnson couldn’t string scripted sentences together - all the necessary information was there. Hell, he’d been Mayor of London before becoming PM if this appearance had fooled anyone.
27:31 Surely there should have been a follow up question such as "Even if it vibrated, how did he converse?". I suppose someone might say by texting or such....But I thought it needed asking.
Anna Ford looks as elegant as ever, she has definitely aged well, I remember her on the news either her or Moira Stewart. I always looked forward to both these news readers when I was a child for some strange reason. She is very polite and such a good speaking voice too. Sadly the great news readers from the past are either no longer with us or retired, back in he day when news readers WERE impartial and stuck to facts
5:19 "Euryn" is a Welsh name, and if the English understood the merest basics of Welsh pronunciation, they'd know that it's pronounced "eye-rin", not "urine". Mind you, they've only been living next door to Wales for about a millennium and a half, so perhaps we can cut them some slack.
;;;;;;;;;;;unfortunate the laughter drowns out the catch lineS ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;please, reduce the laughter or better still CUT IT OUT COMPLETELY.;;;;;;;;;;;;
The uploader didn't edit the show together, the laughter is an audience that was captured on set... It would be a remarkable amount of work for very little pay off to do this. Maybe you should do it? ;)
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?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-POO4lrTclNY.html
