To be honest , I am not ashamed to say that I have often satisfied my loathsome cravings in conjunction with a photograph of the Duchess of Arbroath without her hat on.
Our whole family gathered round to watch this sketch, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Indeed we found the good wholesome beastliness of these sordid and unspeakable acts most invigorating. But you can imagine my horror when the gentleman started SMOKING after being unpleasant with his lady wife. I had to cover my childrens' eyes at that point. Surely a warning should have been given?
Frankly, the use of a cigarette was most appalling. If one professes to be a Gentleman, and not a grubby caddish foreign type, one should imbibe one's tobacco is a briar pipe!
Feminists used to burn bras and give it away. Now they want to dress up like The Hands Maiden Tale and act like easily offended cats. I tell you this video foresaw the future and the past.
What's wrong with "ill-you-straight"? That's the correct pronunciation! Some people say "off" like "orf", "moss" like "morss", "cross" like... you get it. I mean, I do. Jacob Rees-Mogg does. Even the Prime Minister does. But the tapped r's, and the way Cholmondeley-Warner keeps his jaw at one level, well, that's straight out of the 1930's.
I fully agree, a masterful imitation of those voice -over Cinema Newsreel film's ,from the 1930's to 50's. He looks and sounds like the great Peter Dymmock and Leslie Mitchell
This always makes me crease up with laughter. A great take on Britains attitudes in the past. John Glover and Carla Mendonca were superb in these films too.
I remember my biology teacher showing the class this episode just before my A level exam. I learnt so much. I'm a brain surgeon now,as a result of this episode. Thank you so much for this informative episode.
When at school, we had a lesson called section 6, this was "sex education". I kid you not this is how it went. We were presented with an image, now imagine a line drawing of a black square on a white background, this symbolized the bed. Now imagine on the left of the square, the stick figure head and arms of the man and on the right, the stick figure head and arms of the woman (with long hair). That diagram represented 'sex'....to this day I have no idea what the hell was happening under the square that resulted in a reproductive process even after being with my wife for 30 years. Draw the image and you'll understand.
My old Man was like this, despite fathering 10 kids. One day in the late 1950's, he dashed home early from work , because he had read in his Paper, that a live TV programme was going to show the birth of a baby, at about 6.30 pm. He came in all sweating and out of breath, just in time to switch the TV orf, as us teenage kids were about to get educated.
A classic. Harry Enfield is a true genius of British comedy.. I think my fave bits of his work are the Kenneth & Richard sketches.. I wish there were more of these gems, but I love everything he's done.. Some of his work with Paul Whitehouse, also with Kathy Burke is truly sublime. 🌟👍
I have lived in Africa now for over 15 years from the UK. I don't miss the UK at all apart from the amazing British humour. It is just something on a different level that so hard to explain. If you get it you get it.... If you don't, well there is no explanation. Dad's Army is a case in point
The Blissful Zombie Let's see if I can practice my American ahem "wisecracks" properly, oh dear not too good at this being British....here goes anyway....IT SURE PUT A WEED UP YOUR CORNHOLE POINDEXTER! YO' MOMMA! There, I think I got that right. Splendid.
Rumour has it Jacob Rees Mogg uses the same speech writer and voice coach as Mr Cholmondley-Warner. With six offspring JRM must have lots of time for beastliness.
I'm going to write a stern letter to Mary Whitehouse in disgust of this display of unsightly, course and unnecessary copulation! Ohh will someone save the Empire!

It’s funny because it’s accurate. My parents had a book hidden away called The Sexual Side of Marriage bought to give them a clue, l guess. I found it as a fevered teenager only to discover in the 200 or so pages absolutely nothing about sex in it
Remember getting the train to Glasgow central and ended up in Queen st, it was a slightly different route but essentially the same destination and arrival time.
It's not so much the arrival of the train at Paddington that can raise an eyebrow. It's the disgorging of passengers on Platform No. 1 that ladies can find quite beastly.
Mrs Flashman and I have succeeded in executing our conjugal rights for the conception of orfspring twice in our 23 years of happy marriage. We have two orfspring as a result. One cannot help but think that if the working classes in the east end of London controlled their beastly urges the overpopulation of the slums with urchins would be solved!
@@alicemi4155 A certain type of middle class person, encouraged by the educational films of the time which this is mocking. Remember that Lady Chatterley's Lover had censorship issues until the 1960s. It was a holdover from the Victorians who were prudish, on the surface; i read that Charles Dickens took his son to a prostitute for sex education, and this was not unusual. Foreigners were considered less restrained - sometimes young men from Britain were sent to Paris to learn a few things. Young middle class males went to single sex schools like Eton and often their first sexual experience was homosexual.
@@kaczynskis5721 The prostitute-for-sex-education was standard until, I'd say, the early 1970's. I know a few people in my family who were taken to prostitutes at age 16.
This group is almost on on par with Monty Python! I have seen a few of the videos today after finding one about the woman catching a husband, on a blog about Orthodox Jewish dating, of all places.
As a Brit, I can confirm this is what we're taught during sex education lessons. Given what I've seen, I suspect this will be entering american classrooms pretty soon.
“Sordid and frightful. But it is at least short”
Pretty accurate
Accurate on more than one level
I think Harry Enfield is one of the funniest men in the world.
To be honest , I am not ashamed to say that I have often satisfied my loathsome cravings in conjunction with a photograph of the Duchess of Arbroath without her hat on.
Swine !
Once met the duchess of Arbroath in the flesh, she was appalled.
What a cad you are indeed
Most invigorating
You should try the Duchess of Argyle without her head on, if you follow my drift.
Has the train arrived in Paddington yet? No, I'm afraid it's in Colchester, ouch!
That bit had me in stitches. 😂
Bottoms up Colchester .
And if he pushes it too hard she'd be in stitches to!
Timeless brilliance.

Yes
Where have you put them?
H'yes
This is how Jacob Rees Mogg was conceived.
Hahahahaha
Mesothelimoa Was he a Twin?
Normally I would laugh at such a ridiculous thought but yes. Yes.
To say nothing of how his children were conceived.
Realy! And you were there! Jacob is a man among men, A true Englishman.
Great! I wonder sometimes if the younger viewers realise just how close these are to actual public information pictures we suffered in the 50’s.
Wen I woz a lad I had to go to bed half hour before I got up then work down put for nothing but I woz happy

Children can smoke freely and it is fact their god given right
