www.buymeacoff... A number of people are asked seperatly to be a witness to a marriage. Unfortunatly, it soon turns out that they are the ones that are getting married!
A real classic, with the bride's attempts to remain straight-faced drawing the most laughter from me. A great set-up and acting all round, but it would have been so hard to keep it together while the scenes played out.
@Marillionboy Hi, just wanted to day that I have the additional footage of this prank that featured a couple that the Candid Camera try to marry. I may upload this footage soon. I'm aware that they filmed a lot of stunts around south west London, Arthur Atkins, who worked on the show said they filmed in Richmond Upon Thames (this clip), Norbiton, and Tolworth to name but a few places.
Well thirty years on and Mr & Mrs Badcock are still happily married. And William still hasn't told his Wife from his first marriage about it. He got a good deal out of it. She was a bit of alright that Ms Poppadoppalis.
I've recognised areas of Kingston, Tolworth (the pickpocket) and Richmond - near Lichfield Court (Sheen Road) - I used to live and work around these areas too.
Thanks! I know where that is. The cinema is now a nightclub, a big new complex called the rotunda opened a few years ago just down the road, which has a cinema within it and the new bus station is around the corner. I think you'd be surprised to see how much has changed if you checked on google street view!
I was born in Kingston & worked there for 13 years. I think the pick pocket prank was filmed in Tolworth Broadway & outside the old bus station which was replaced by Options (don't know what it is now) but near Wilkinsons & the tumbling telephone boxes. I haven't been to Kingston for years so I have no idea if things have changed :-(
I live near them areas but don't recognise anywhere sadly... I thought it was filmed near Heathrow because you can hear lots of planes going over, but Richmond is pretty near the flight path too..
@coecludd Any chance you could upload the rest of the footage? I'd love to see the footage of my Great Aunt again. Yes, it does indeed seem this clip was done in Richmond, though I can't imagine what my Great Aunt would have been doing there! Another Candid Camera gem I remember was the milkman telling a customer that milk will no longer be white but would she like to choose from green, pink or heliatrope!
@Marillionboy When Candid Camera got her, it was my Grandad who alerted us to the fact. It must have been filmed either in Bethnal Green or, I think she was actually living in the Borough area at the time, in South London.
@Gusgrasshopper Well she isn't actually in this clip, but the full stunt featured another two witnesses who they then fooled into accidentally marrying. The videos released had the full thing. Sadly there isn't much I can say, she was a pretty distant relative, from Bethnal Green, quite a rough diamond by all accounts who took snuff and drank beer, not that usual in those days!
@Eastenderzz If you actually read the posts carefully, she isn't in THIS clip but in the second part of the Witness Marriage sketch which has also been uploaded. Please don't be so rude and insulting without reading the full facts first.
@Marillionboy . Any chance of telling us anymore about your great-aunt. It sounds funny, I suppose, but because these people had their 15 minutes of fame, i find it fascinating to find out a bit more about them. They have become almost immortalised by appearing on a TV show; I have had these videos for years and still find them funny. I imagine your great aunt is no longer with us?
@Marillionboy Um... your "great aunt" would have been one of the actors, the only person who didn't know this was a prank is the witness. So before you try and make up that you know the person being pranked, get it right and at least use your brain.
