Jim Carter who was Mr Carson in Downtown Abbey

Teddy Bears are a minefield 😂😂

"Beetroot slacks." "Wizened egg custard."

Oh the irony that the trick of pretending to be interested in something other than what you are really interested in, that Celia talks loftily of at the beginning, is then played on her by the ‘young blood from Christie’s’ who buys the frame with the Michelangelo encased. Brilliant writing by Alan Bennett. I remember watching this when it was first shown on the BBC way back in 1988 and being enthralled.

As an Australian as still can’t stop laughing when it’s Ren 😂

2024 australia, mining booms, Aboriginal culture supposedly respected and yet NOTHING has changed. Except one thing, white and black australians are equally FCKED by the EVIL SCUM that run this country. It is only a matter of time before we are ALL wiped out and the only thing that linked us is, WE ALL WERE SCREWED! We could have come together, yet failed.

Holy cow !!!!! What a twist. Yikes! Terrific storytelling.

Two human beings sharing mutual comprehension. What a wonderful world this would be...

I won't touch pictures. I've seen too many fingers burned.

True down to earth humour, not the BS woke garbage you get on the idiot box nowadays

What a vulture of a woman.

This film needs to be shown.!🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can fold a suzukis windshield? I thought only jeeps broncos and the old fj cruises had this ability

Absolutely beautiful video. ❤️❤️❤️

I found this really gripping and a little ironic, but that’s what makes Alan Bennett such a great writer. He knows how to keep the audience attention.

This is what happens when two intelligent, decent humans talk with each other.

Sad the state of political correctness we live in now. Tip your hats lads, true comedy is dead!!!

The bear kissing the man with the man’s face in the bears mouth is very scary.

Thinking out loud, great background song :)

I saw this onstage in New York, 15 or 20 years ago, and was reminded of it recently--thought 'Wonder if that's on CZcams"--of course it was. I don't think it was Atkins I saw. I think it was someone less renowned--but as I remember it the performance was actually better. The ending wasn't so strictly pathetic--the character mixed pathos with a rueful self-awareness, She felt sorry for herself, but couldn't hide a hint of acknowledgement that she got what she deserved. She appreciated the irony. I don't feel that here. Edit---An internet search reveals the actress I saw was Brenda Wehle. I've never heard of her and she doesn't have a Wikipedia page. She apparently won an Obie for her performance, though, and on one night, at least, she was better than the illustrious Eileen Atkins (in my amateur opinion).

If you enjoyed this monologue, PLEASE do yourself a service and check out these other brilliant Bennet works.... A Woman of no Importance, A Lady of Letters, Ms. Fozzard finds her Feet, Soldiering On, A Chip in the Sugar, Bed Among the Lentils, Waiting for the Telegram, A Cream Cracker under the Settee, The Outside Dog... they are all some of my favorite words ever put to paper!

These monologues are just marvelous. So typically, and perfectly Bennett. I adore them.

0:24 Oooh that's...a hug alright...a bear...hugging a man...with it's canines...yup that's a hug...a very safe one

If God grades on a curve.... I'm doomed

All they needed in that room was the sound of Mr Rogers voice and it bought out a different person in the senator

The eagle ❤️the lions 🥰the bears 😍omg such unexpected, dangerous species bonding with humans. Truly extraordinary

first burn

I can't trust lion and bear the rest all are cute but can't trust on these wild animals because lions and bears can kill their masters without any reason

I wanna cry.

Es urgente que en el modelo educativo den el manejo de las emociones en los menores

The world lost a great man when rogers passed away. Just as it did when bob ross died.

There will never be another Mr.Rogers. There was no faking it with him, he wore his heat on his sleeve and did it for the benefit of the children.

He is one of my heroes. My dad died when I was sixteen. It was so wonderful to sit with my much younger sister and brother and learn from Fred Rogers. He made a difficult situation so much better.

A real spirtual teacher Mr Roger's. Thank you, see you in heaven darling man. May l take on the challenge and obligation of kindness everyday.

U fuc**** trump need MR. ROGERS X million.

He killed SMG4 7 years before he was born.

You're saying that farmers are getting hold of this stuff from China and India. Farmers are not going to spay football ovals with it or road side weeds. They're spraying their crops and we're eating the food. This isn't good enough. First and foremost the farmers are being fooled and poisoned before sending on to the consumer.

I want to know if dioxin is still being sprayed on food crops in Australia. 2019.

I quite agree with you mate, pour it down the polititions necks and see how they'd like it. Those men were lied to and they should be compensated forth-with.

I love animals but sadly, none love me. Either they ignore or run away from me.

That's it, I'm going vegan
