I served between 1986-2010, as a young soldier coming home on leave, staying in bed until late, no parades, no duties, no exercises and no tours to God forsaken places... ahhhhhh those were the days
"Chilean 'flu"... Scarcely any more believable than the nonsense we are fed about "viruses" these days. Some things never change eh? Having said that I've just noticed the girlie picture on Terry's bedroom wall the woke brigade would be in a fit so that wouldn't be allowed today. Or the words "poofs" or "negroes" in context. Bring back the 70s I say!
Miss these days we didn't have a lot but looked after things, if only we had kept things, hopefully would be worth a fortune now, my gran was born in 1907,and when my mom made her move out her house, she had not alot lino on the floor with rugs
Lovely to see the late Anita Carey as Thelma's sister Susan ,who'll always be Pat Brandon from 'I didn't know you cared ' for me ,a grand Yorkshire lass 💘💘
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 ?"

This was first shown in April 1974, so it is 50 years old, but still worth watching ... unlike ALL the sitcoms that are made nowadays. I can't think of any recent comdieis that I find funny. RIP Bob & Thelma (sorry, I mean Rodney Bewes and Brigit Forsyth)
82p four a round ..70s ........😮 it were a about 28p a pint ....when I started drinking. I remember when pub £4 ...6pints pack 10 fag.s chip + pie pea.s on way home ..then. up early four school nest day 😊
Very true, the kids used to play in them. Child murderer Mary Bell killed a young boy on Whitehouse Rd, Benwell Newcastle,. In what was a wartime derelict terraced house.
The very first series were brilliant , I couldn't only recognize myself but most of my mates , even though I was a southerner . The BBC to save a few quid wiped the tapes clean , to reuse .
Our lovely new home. FFS
Oh Wendy ❤️
Poor old Terry. . Surrounded by sycophants like Bob
Thelma was a drag
I served between 1986-2010, as a young soldier coming home on leave, staying in bed until late, no parades, no duties, no exercises and no tours to God forsaken places... ahhhhhh those were the days
Bob. and Thelma. Not the most exiting part of any episode
"Chilean 'flu"... Scarcely any more believable than the nonsense we are fed about "viruses" these days. Some things never change eh? Having said that I've just noticed the girlie picture on Terry's bedroom wall the woke brigade would be in a fit so that wouldn't be allowed today. Or the words "poofs" or "negroes" in context. Bring back the 70s I say!
Legends from a Welshman in South Africa Brilliant
Waited too Long for Terry to appear
Life was beautiful before diversity and Islam
Before diversity life was superb
I bet today's pc woke mob can find fault with this and not a swear word in the whole episode.
I never got this as a 5 year old when my uncles used to watch it, but know I love it.
Did you see all he bought for 82p..! You can't buy a packet of crisps for that.
It's just occurred to me, those are the only two in the middle of a pub is talking to each other in raised voices.
He said he was stuck in BFPO 16 which is in Suffield Canada, but he said Mönchengladbach, Germany, that's BFPO 19.
Before diversity killed the uk
This series has more meaning as we get older!

Robin Bailey..Uncle Mort! Carter Brandon.. Uncle Staveley, Ahh well, umm. What a mind mix! The first joke in the series is a killer!
I fancied Sheila Fern massively and still do
The good old days when sitcoms were actually funny. I used to fancy Sheila Fern; still do
Two drinks, food for Terry ….82p!
I wouldn’t drink in their local. Look at 9min 15 seconds. They ask for two pints and you can clearly see two full pints in front of the barman.
Classic comedies of the best you never get bored of the oldies
British comedy at its best.

She starred in The Last as well as George and Mildred Mrs 4 mile dardy sister bowling
Absolutely brilliant dont make comedies like this anymore just stupid reality shows and quiz shows dont watch telly now

Favourite episode
I adore Wendy, my heart aches for her. I have a deep burning desire to go back in time.
Little prick ......everyone no.s it's not size of the Canon it.s the power of the shot .....see ya lean summit everyday Zbe
82p four a round ..70s ........😮 it were a about 28p a pint ....when I started drinking. I remember when pub £4 ...6pints pack 10 fag.s chip + pie pea.s on way home ..then. up early four school nest day 😊
It’s amazing to think that 30 years after WW2 bombed out buildings and rubble were still present. (shown at the end of the episode)
Very true, the kids used to play in them. Child murderer Mary Bell killed a young boy on Whitehouse Rd, Benwell Newcastle,. In what was a wartime derelict terraced house.
This is one of the best shows from the 70s Bob and Terry were best buds
The very first series were brilliant , I couldn't only recognize myself but most of my mates , even though I was a southerner . The BBC to save a few quid wiped the tapes clean , to reuse .
