Season Two, Episode Two - 8 Mar. 1981
Arkwright decides to take Nurse Gladys away to a hotel. This leaves Granville in a position to make his play for the milk round lady, but Arkwright, hands on as ever and never keen to be too far away from the shop, has booked himself and Nurse Gladys into a hotel just round the corner - where he has problems with an extra tight money belt. - Zábava

Sadly the Britain that we lived in and loved when this classic comedy series was aired NO longer exists just like these comedic gems.
R.I.P Ronnie and Lynda ❤
MY PARENTS HAD A CORNER GROCERS SHOP FROM 1975 TO 1981 WE WATCHED OPEN ALL HOURS RELIGIOUSLY BOTH MUM N DAD GONE NOW SHOP GOT TURNED INTO FLATS I LOVE THIS SHOW AND THE REMAKE ISNT BAD LINDA BARRON WAS ONE OF THE LAST ORIGINALS OF THIS BRILLIANT PROGRAMME TO PASS AWAY GOOD NIGHT NURSE GLADYS HOPEFULLY NOW SHES GOT ARKWRIGHT ALL TO HERSELF LOL ♥️🌈🎬📽️📻
Real people and communities back then!
That's so sweet. I'm 48 and live here in the US. I started watching British TV around 10yrs old was fascinated and charmed. Thank God for people like Nurse Gladys in the world. I'm glad this brings nice memories for you. Big hug!❤
I watch every day.
As long as there are program's like this, all's right in the world.
Yes it,s a break from crazy mdern world
It's programmes and it has no apostrophe so not even close to being right. 😉
Indeed. Lovely escapism from 🤡 🌎
All is not right with the world at all.. This video is the old world not the present world.
All is wrong with the present world.
Yea. Maybe you are right it was a good old world with realhumans than the technologially advanced one of ours!!
This guy is really to funny with that money belt😅😅
Never fails to make me laugh. Ronnie Barker really was a comedy genius and Lynda Baron was brilliant as Nurse Gladys Emmanuel. Bless them all.
I.m 58 now I watch this all time 😂
Kathy staff is class..right for this prog.
R.I.P. Lynda Baron, and this is my all-time favourite episode and you`re absolutely fantastic as Nurse Gladys Emmanuel as well as Arkwright still waiting for you in heaven, and well acted in this episode, in which is my all-time favourite episode from series 2.
Always had a 'thing' for Nurse Gladys Emmanuel. Still do even after all these years.
RIP, B PAGE
Albert Arkright. £1 p p p per feather for ye ye yer angel wings. God - I don't need wings. Arkright - thats £2.99 for ye red bull, mutton wool cloud nurse GLADyis......
@@totalrecone - No you don't.
@@jonhohensee3258 Ah, so its you clomping around in your bovver boots inside my conscience, eh? Knowing what and who I like/liked. Pray tell, who *do* I have 'a thing' for if it isn't Nurse Gladys Emmanuel?
And No, Mrs T-t-t-t-ittersalls doesn't count.
I enjoy watching these two. I've never laughed so hard!!
I enjoy watching these two, Thank you for sharing, I laughed so hard!! IF only there were more shops like that now days.
I like the way the shop was closed on a Sunday.
Things were proper back then.
Yeah, now basically everything is working 24/7..
My favourite episode 😄😄 The oxo tin and money belt were just comedy gold ❤
19:24
"You look like the Hunchcrotch of Notre Dame." 🤣🤣
I absolutely LOVE this episode, it’s by far my favourite!!!!
Woodpacker with acnee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
JUST FANTASIC. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL. BEAUTIFUL ENGLAND
Have a corner shop, comes with curry & rice, 24/7 taxis. Price - £1 per center meter.
Had such a crush on Barbara Flynn when I was young ❤️
Yeh me too
And me 😍
I still do.
If cracker can win her, so could I.
She certainly were GGGGGGG Gorgeous!
Quirky old fashion comedy, very cool . Thank you
So hilarious when arkwright is trying to walk with that money belt too small for him
I know. And the way the camera would frame Granville's lack of a money belt sometimes before the plot line for the episode got well under way was so hilarious too.
One of the best series ever very funny
😊 Absolutely Great 😊 👍🏴
Loved the money belt.
Hilarious !!!!!!
Mavis is so funny in this episode. I laugh so much every time I watch this one. :)
Granville's soliloquy at 24:15 is worthy of the stage.
"Hunch Crotch of Notre Dame"😂
OMG! Just AMAZING! Did you see those prices on the window?😅
Inflation is what happens yearly when money is just paper, and not backed up by gold and/or silver.
The money bely scene is so Hilarious Lol 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I notice the headline on the paper “crickets saddest moment” , this episode is from 1981...most likely referring to the underarm bowling incident by Australia against New Zealand, also in 1981
No, it was actually about the cancellation of the WI vs England Test at Guyana because the local government refused to give Robin Jackman a visa and deported him (it's blurry in this video but the top headline says 'Jackman gets his marching orders as tour faces collapse').
The underarm delivery was around the same time though, earlier in February. Looks like they filmed this episode about two weeks before it went to air.
cricket's saddest moment
Yeah, still well remembered, it happened to a local lad.
Simply marvelous
Great comedy best ever ❤
Brilliant! I would think Ronnie wouldn't need to learn his lines by rote. He goes straight into character and makes it up as he goes I'm sure.
Arkwright's view of art and literature: "They're only real to people like teachers, who don't have to work for a living".
A teacher could tell you the correct place for that full stop. 😉
Haha, the money belt.
I fell slightly in love with the milk woman (Barbara Flynn), because to me she has a cheeky smile, pretty, and rather sexy.
Of course, now she is in her 70's so has changed a bit, but back then.....
@M-NJ B Thanks....I will have to search YT for ideps.
@M-NJ B Yes, I remember watching that series with James Bolan etc. I have found a play list of the Beidekker series on YT.....:)
I think she played the younger daughter Freda in the Family at War series in the 70s, face is familiar …
19:00 Lovely to see Sir David trying not to laugh when delivering his line 😂😂 Wonderful episode ❤
What is more important is to keep away from bad drink and strong women xD
Wow... Poor Granville😢😢😢😢
I had to look up what "Bird's standard trifle" was. 21:34. They still make it! Was 41p, now it's $9.99 on Amazon.
I recently stayed at the Balmoral Hotel where this was filmed! ^^
Absolutely lovely for such a price!!
Could you see any nightingales?
Could you see Arkwright's shop?
Could you see Arkwright's shop?
ahhh the milkwomen
'Oh Granville'
'Oh Mavis'
'Oh yes'
'Oh dear'. 😂😂😂😂
After that, I wouldn't think that he would need the milk maid.
Great video quality. Thankyou.
That milkwoman is beautiful 😍
To my friends across the pond, when it came to comedy, the British take the Gold Metal!! Im now 55, since choldhood we would watch British comedy on our public televison. When cable came out, just more oppertunity to watch more. Many of our tv shows where based off of the British ones. There is no comedy on tv today that could touch shows like these.!! Last of the Summer Wine lasting 30 yrs.!! All hilarious!
The first and only time the milk woman appears in a studio scene during this episode.
And poor Granville never got to see her gold tops.
@@seamusoflatcap
very funny comment 😄
Electric vehicle before its time. The milk cart.
Arkwright must have been the inspiration behind Mr. Krabbs on Spongebob.
I sometimes think Granville may have inspired Chandler from Friends 😂 Similar humour
13:26 solid sterling silver before n-ninteen 22

😳☝🏻 "Don't you be cheeky."
😂😂😂😂
Isn't Linda Baron beautiful in her first appearance with Granville in the shop?
Do you mean the milk float lady?. That's not Lynda Baron.
@@Proman476 The milk float lady is played by Barbara Flynn.
She had a face like a fit, speak for your self and look in the mirror.😁 hilarious. The neighborhood reporter, 😂😀😋😎
Yup, she had a face like a dropped pie..
15:44 chastity belt
G g g Granville 😂😂
10:55 Close your eyes and think of Danger Mouse. =3
Love danger mouse
I think it's a real shaame that he and the milk woman neever got together!
The black hole of Cal, the black hole of cal ca cu, the hanging gardens of Babylon 1:00
R.I.P
Lmao where u gonna wear it on one leg
Million Dollar Question:
How DID Arkwright put the money belt on?? 🤣🤣🤣
He just j-j-jiggled things a bit
@@WedThursday To the point that he bought a truckload of jeh-jeh-ginger cakes 🤣🤣
If the Granville began his new relationship with the milk lady it would have Broadined
this show, with another character. Or just the milk lady would have had more words in the show. But the old man would have finally hit first base with the nurse.
It's just a shame the old man is just so damn cheap ! !! !!! !!!! !!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!! !!!! !!! !! !
Milk woman is Ga ga ga ga Gorgeous! 🤩
Yes She is❤
I can't help wondering if Granville was at least partly an inspiration for Rik Mayall's character Richie in 'Bottom'; if you exaggerate David Jason's mannerisms, you can see the resemblance.
The Moggie Minor is a clone. I have seen an episode where it has a G plate but that one has an E plate. Maybe she traded it in for a newer model, same colour and no roof rack.
I want to go back to the 80's you all can keep your 2022 BS
And your 2023 prices!
I'll buy a ticket on your time machine. Just tell me here when you're leaving. 😂
I'll come too ..
I can come on command 😊
And who'd like to own that milk 🥛 cart?
13:08
😨 "Lishen to him! Only a shop, he says! Only a shop! How can I leave it with someone who teh-teh-takes that attitude!?"
I ass young just like that !!. Maybe this world should be then. Am 70 and lived in thee house. Ta Diolch. Dave
this is so funny
A g, a g, a g, a g, a g, a g, agreed.

A gre gre greedy store keeper is a ha ha happy storekeeper. I wish you'd let me finish.
Barbara Flynn is gorgeous in this
Yep. The British are the best comedians and actors in the world. Even got the best singers. Bands. Lucky. Thankyou from down under Australia 🙂👍
13:21 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
17;10 the camera moves off Mavis as she starts to slip out of character
Nora Batty!
It’s that state registered chest…
How old was Granville supposed to be? He looks in his forties.
His character seems like someone in his late 20s to early 30s. That's the read I get from Granville.
In the pilot Granville was in his 20s but David Jason was in his 30s and 40s during the series' run
You just know a shop couldn't exist like this in 2023. Arkwright would have been beaten up by druggies and his shop looted. Ater the third time he would have closed the shop permanently and it would now be a kebab shop.
Most importantly There wouldn’t be any demand at all,
This episode marked the first appearance of Milkwoman.
I can see why Granville likes her. She's naturally cute.
@@cityhawkA YOUNG BEAUTIFUL BARBARA FLYNN ♥️♥️
Ber Ber Ber Barbara Fer Fer fer Flynn Der Der Der did it for me, she could have ddd delivered my mmmmilk.
Did Arkwright drop the key on the way out and told Granville to pick it up? Might be why he didn't have it with him later.
If you look at 20:57 below the door you can see that Arkwright has an 'A' and 'E' as first and middle name. I wonder what the 'E' is for.
Edward?
1957
Chandler Bing with his sense of humour was EASILY the American version of Granville 🤣🤣🤣
Never thought of that parallel before
19:14 you can see the mic at the top right near the window
I like to think Granville and the milk woman eventually ended up together after the events of the series. That's just my personal head canon.
MsDjessa If you watch the new series, he ends up with Mavis!
Oh yeah I've watched a couple of that show. But had forgotten about it. Not sure how I feel about it.
Mavis? Maureen and the Milk women were much nicer, and sexier!
@@ampm9771 He was cute with Julie as well.
Little Jelly Tots Julie? The one with "nice legs"?
3:35
I don't think we got to see this in the States on our PBS stations. British TV shows are great to watch. Is that one if the two Ronnie's? We did get them sometimes on PBS. I think they were on Ed Sullivan show
For those who don't know him. He was the man to introduce the Beatles to America in 1964. But this show is funny. My first time to see this.
Yep, thats Ronnie Barker 😁 Absolute British treasure, loved him in this and in Porridge
Milk, in a glass bottle? Wild.
they can / are reused ... environmentally sound ...
Electric vehicle milk delivery.
And you’d want to keep away from strong drink and bad women
And what’s more important is keep away from bad drink and strong women
Getting old in 2024, twenty-four 101 year olds had sex together. They were both the two Ronnies
You want to get away from bad drink and strong women.
Fair go to Granville,for god damn sake,such a chance with lovely milk girl
Bet she milked his prostate but not before he mauled her dairy doubles

Speaking of allegedly according to some only foreigners whom the BBC like to make fun of on their fabulous sitcoms making us laugh about human nature in general I wonder what all nations were that one scientist by the name of Mr. Otto Schmidt spent time in before his dying day? Human nature which in some led some scientists to meticulously study the mouth bits on every insect he could find over in Denmark instead of Russia to be classifying them all well enough. Before he ended up being a professor in Germany for the longest time instead. Well maybe that is now why Denmark is said to be the happiest nation in the world now after that scientist returned to his nation of birth after he spent a lot of time learning from a very knowledgeable outdoorsman in a garden over in Sweden instead. Good thing there was not a whole lot of gossips there in Sweden at the time eh? Then Denmark might not have become the happiest nation in the world after finally getting him back home. Instead of Otto Schmidt who prefffered to be only a researcher who was just so happeniing to be only helping out the shipping magnates all along the Northern Sea Route for a whole seven years. Seven years is an awefully long time to be a researcher sailer too who is relying on only his faithful Russian wife back home in Russia. Well maybe that explains his serrious demenour on Wikipedia to this day. I hear that is a very very long sea route you know which is continuing to get lonbger you know. too that never wanted to return to his nation of birth for some reason.

Forget the milkwoman. Go for Julie or Mavis.
Comedy like this doesn't exist any more....unfortunately! Too politically incorrect, and the WOKE movement would complain to no end.
Ironically, a family of stutterers did write to Ronnie Barker.
They told him how much they LOVED the show and how funny they found the stutter 😂😂 Good old days when people knew how to laugh
The pre taped opening, used in multiple episodes, is too much.
I can't see why there's a problem? Its just a title sequence....
don´t watch it then mate....simple as that. (if of course that isn't too much)
Yes, but it is bcz it's different (worse) psychologically watching online from following a series on TV
I wonder if anyone seeing this for the first time finds it funny. Comedy doesn't age well
I'm American, and definitely don't get all the references, and I think it's funny. Not as funny as Are You Being Served, or You Rang M'Lord, but low key funny.
It was funny in the day, but not any more. He was such an awful man, and I take it seriously now!
Still love this in 2020. They knew how to do comedy then.
it's still really funny. Good comedy is not made from normal people behaving normally. the fact that Arkwright is such a paranoid stuttering cheapskate is where much of the humour is derived.
Oh, get over yourself, it’s just a TV show!
Yes, and you'd better stay off learning about an actor, to not have their role spoilt, the imagination of their play.But then, it wasn't for nothing that B Brecht wanted us out of the fantasy bubble and invented his alienation effects.Maybe I'm wrong for liking the moment of escapist fiction.
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 ?"
Mrs. Richards: "Because the room is cold, the bath is too small, and the radio doesn't work."
Basil: "No, the radio works. You don't."
