That episode signed off a vintage piece of BBC situation comedy the likes of which could not be reprised today.It was one of a number of classic early shows on television which cheered up many highly challenged lives, bringing joy into living rooms up and down the country during countless recessions and the occasional three day week.
I always hated the way Bob blamed Terry for his own weaknesses. When Bob did his worst stuff, like drink-driving, playing away (or trying to) or whatever, Terry had nothing to do with it, and often wasn't even there. I think Thelma gradually realised this.
Anybody remember when BBC comedy was Funny, with a great cast. great writers. and they could make fun of the world and we would all watch and laugh in out Millions
I too was young as well, remember mum and dad watching and always laughing, i remember more when it came back on TV for another series, just has funny today 😂
@@kevinbeck6785 I know, isn’t it sad that we have to be too young.😄. I remember asking my parents about things that bordered on sexual things and not understanding it and them just laughing, you think wtf, and you know there’s something deeper, they know something you don’t - it quivers in your mind.
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 ?"
Bob let it be known on some talk show that Terry´s wife told him she was pregnant with twins ans he ran into a lamppost. He never got over it. So they say, but as things usually go there´s always another side to the story.
Bit of a weak episode on the whole. I was expecting some kind of forward-flash scene showing aged versions of Bob and Terry in appropriate makeup and was disappointed when this never occurred. All this talk about "forty years on" is incredibly ironic now in hindsight.

I remember it on tv, but I was too young to follow it.

@@Babyblue689 HA HA yes so funny in them days even watching Benny Hill and not understanding the sexual nature of the show, i do realise now 🤣🤣
Loved audrey and in george and mildred
They would never have left those fish and chips!
6 pints and fish and chips heaven
Mrs Yeatman from Dad's Army!
The old fols home nurse played a good role in when the boat comes in
It's funny how the only two bad guys that 'Bob' could think of, Mussolini and Capone, were Italians! lol
Nurse played by Rosalind Bailey (Sarah Hedley in "When the Boat Comes in")
I fancied Sheila Fern massively and still do
Continuity is all over the shop !, beer glass full , then empty …..🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Sheila fern was a hottie
The past is always the best in my experience doesnt sound too promising for me does it?
When we get to a certain time in our lives more or less we all think like that mate
My past wasn't perfect, but infinitely better than my present awful life

You got bought Bob,, a trained puppy, I prefer Terrie`s Uncle, Great series,Terry neads an ally though --Outnumbered about five to one -
Colchester close to me
Not the same without Thelma!
She certainly added that something to Bob & Terry's relationship.
Is it true, Bob and Terry , didn’t get on in real life
It came to a head when one of them wanted to allow the showing of repeats, for the extra cash, and one didn't.
@@alanyoung407 The one who didn't must gave been Bolam.

@@alanyoung407 a common misconception I'm afraid, the show was repeated many times over the years.

The flash forward to an aged Bob and Terry wouldn't have suited this style of comedy at all.
Lasagne…what’s that? 🤣
3:14 Can you still say things like this without the political correctness thought police jumping on it with a censor?
No, you are not allowed to laugh these days.
@@111gifford Ahh, that's okay then. Just so long as I know. I wouldn't like to be un-woke. I might get locked up for it!
I laugh at whatever the hell I want to
