I think your standards are extremely low, and why on earth didnt you check the pillows. I dont agree you got what you paid for, it wasn't a b&b no breakfast, there was no hot water and it was in my opinion not suitable for anyone to sleep in. You couldn't pay me to stay in that dump

Imagine going for your appearance and finding Sir Humphrey Appleby is your examiner!

Love this film. A real British gem 💎 It's probably not important but if Ted Margolis learned the first 180 runs after only 56 days, then he would have finished the book in under 6 months, no? Do the runs become longer and harder as you progress?

Never forgot that final speech by Nigel Hawthorne - before he was Sir Humphrey, he was 'The Vampire'.

Now we commit to memory “Hey Siri,”

Back for more punishment.

1:25 absolutely classic! I go down t’main road, and then i what?

Excellent film,great entertainment

He did go in to politics. He was called sir Humphrey.

If you could learn The Knowledge, you could learn anything!

That London is gone. Most of the buildings and infrastructure is still there but the civilisation that built it is mostly gone. Sad, very sad.

Just had our honeymoon in London and were fascinated by the taxi and uber drivers. I (a Dubliner) told my wife (a New Yorker) about seeing The Knowledge decades ago and SHE wanted to see it. The dialogue is hard to make out and the subtitles are unintelligible but it's still a fantastic look at Londeon in the Seventies, a goodhearted and entertaining TV movie. Glad it was posted here - cheers.

Now sadly under threat by Uber and GPS. 😝 Support proper cabbies!

I was a cabbie for eight years, four in Portsmouth UK and four in Sydney Aus. Not once did I get any aggro. I had plenty of potential but it was always sorted out, mostly over money. I found plenty of fares would get physical given the slightest excuse so the knack was never to give ‘‘em any.

What a real waste of time that shite was.....

Archer report to my office.........yes sir (I AM HAPPY)

Ba mitzvah boy is the best

Now we’ve got bloody Uber

It's the vegetarian guy from the film scum 😂

I remember watching this decades ago and couldn't find it anywhere, so thanks for posting it. One of Nigel Hawthorne's most masterly performances.

Thank you so much for posting this I was kid when this was first shown ❤️

Great film. A real who's who of UK acting talent. Nigel Hawthorn, Michael Elphick, Gary Holton, Nicholas Ball and many more. Great rewatch.

I remember this being on ITV in I think 1981 and then reshown on Channel 4 in 1985 or so-not too sure about that though. Great film, so thank you there then so too!

That’s The Knowledge… Know what I mean…. Remember watching this back in the 80’s… Truly great Drama..,. All wonderfully acted out… Like that the old guy gets his knowledge badge… Michael Elphicks character tells old Dracula to shove it… 😂😂😂

Amazing film!!

😂

WOW I loved the movie. 1st time watching this today on YT. Didn't watch this back in 1979 coz I was a young lad. Nice to see the old London I grew up in and nice to see no parking restrictions and no CCTV cameras. As far I can recall most Londoners lived in the centre of London (Inner London) and then, eventually, most Londoners moved out for various reasons stemming from affordability to noise pollution and what have you. Anyway, back then, the Knowledge to be a Black Cab driver was a great thing for earning very good money. Now a days, the Knowledge is a dying thing coz mini cabbing/Uber has taken over with Smart phones having built in SatNav.

I faced the dreaded Mr Findley. Drove a cab 30 years. Happy days be lucky. 22402 1975.

Great stuff 👍💯🇬🇧 all our old friends, 🙏💯 bless them, as a SOUTH LONDONER 🇬🇧 great location's, memories 💓🇬🇧🗣️💯🙏😇💪👁️☠️👁️🎬🧐

Thank you for this one, haven't seen it in yonks. A really great film.

Doss. All great, but Nigel Hawthorne steals it.

Thank you for upload. A great British gem I remember from my childhood.

Thanks for posting. Watched this film in my teens. Never forgot the scene at 24.54. Hidden Classic.

Is that Archer?

Amazing performance from Nigel Hawthorne . Incredibly funny script for the introductory meeting .

Mr Burgess:"Don't you have the knowledge to do? Don't you have somebody to kill?"

will you be bringing back PA lets play? with the new DLC packs?

Would be even more interesting if they had gotten Ozzy Osbourne to sing the ending credit song instead of Mick Ford, not knocking Ford.

That interviewer is a right weirdo! Most of them seem a bit nuts tbh

Vics inhaler. The good old days

Brilliant stuff. Nigel Hawthorne in top form as the bureaucratic martinet and CEO of Misery Inc. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

1:45 "What's the Knowledge, then" "It's a form of euthanasia" I. Love. This. Movie. If I ever get to the UK, the highlight of the trip would be to afford a day in a Black Cab watching a Master of the Trade.

I did it and to this day don't know how. In my 30th year now. The maddest job I've ever done. Had a few funny apearences . All in all glad I passed it.

Lovely to watch this again, it's as good as I remembered it. Thank you for uploading.

Surely the Satnav has put paid to the knowledge! I never heard of the knowledge even although I lived in London for a time. I was told oal abaht i’ by Brian Conley when he was a young act in Jersey. His dad was a black cabbie. I found the story unforgettable!

Nigel Hawthorne ever playing the "Agony Aunt" (more often causing agony)

A few good memories popped up in this gem of a film! I managed to get this on DVD a few years ago. How it landed on my list to watch I've no idea but i was surprised and happy to see it and watched it straight away!
