"I've been to Oxford"
"Yes. For lunch."
Vicious, what singular delight, this could have easily been my life. Shit what am I saying it was my life.
@@degsbabe, What is this about? Did I make a comment that you don't agree with or have I upset the delicate balance between the LGBTQ and Durins Bane? Please explain?
Some good stuff fr. Its hilarious. Lmao😂🤣
@@peripsumetcumipso_"Go back to the shadow!"_
Imagine watching Vicious and then Game of Thrones😬
"It's very rude to disturb attractive people." lmao
I love to do it lol
Right? That’s such an attractive person thing to say.
“Have you finally told her about us?“
“I’ve been waiting for the right time.”
“It’s been 48 years.”
😂😂😄😂😄
There has not been a right time
😂
"And there has not been a right time!"
Aren't you clever repeating lines from the script
8:23 - 8:29 "I never know when I'm going too far, but I'm always so glad when I do." *Drinks tea.* that's my ultimate mood.
I loved every line in this show. hurt a lot when finding out it ended.
That's almost exactly how I feel whenever I mess with my sister and my nephew 😂😂😂😂
The way he says ‘it’s been 48 YEARS’ cracks me up.
"I thought Graham Norton was straight." OMG I laughed!!!
That got a guffaw out of me.
This was when I learnt that he was gay.
@@benjaminmaybury4238 Same honestly couldn't tell.
@@MarieGarrett. you can tell by his hand gestures, just like Derek Jacobi here. Seriously, how could anyone not be able to tell?
i would love to see the 3 of them in a sitcom.. can you imagine !
A Wizard, a Time Lord, and Ramsey Bolton walk into a flat.
Also, Madame Maxim!
This feels like a start for a Spanish racist joke. They are all pretty terrible and sadly, you learn all of them at at least age 10.
Also cadfael series
Not everyone speaks Spanish, though.
Also Miss Jones.
I love how McKellen and Jacobi both play their characters way over the top. If I had the money, I'd produce this in a heartbeat.
They both send up the caricature of ham actors. 😂

Other than that, great quote
I don't know what your on about ;-)
@@Jiskpirate Does anyone like grammar trolls? No.
@@JoshBWeaver Nobody likes them, but they are needed. Especially the your, you're mistake.
"Will you close those CURTAINS!!!"
"The light, the light!!!"
I cackled!
My reaction every time my father says my room needs lighting and opens the curtains.
Gandalf has degenerated into a gay vampire......XD
The light shows off the wrinkles/age. Obviously. So funny.
When I came out at 16 I met a couple of 'old queens' just like these two. Both in their 60s,which was ancient to me,lol, and they seemed to spend all their time bickering back and forth. A mutual friend told me, " Oh darling boy, they've been like this since the day they met, they adore each other ". The fact that I was 16 in 1976, and homosexuality had been partly decriminalised just 9 years before, and the age of homosexual consent was still 21 back then and they'd been together 40 years made me realise that together they'd been through such troubling times, probably witnessed many awful attacks on gay men and ran the very real risk of being arrested simply for gathering with other gay men in a pub for instance. Freddie and Stuart are indicative of a specific generation in LGBT history and McKellen and Jacobi portray the folk from that generation in 'Vicious'.
People may be kind, but the don't accept what you do. It's against the nature of GOD.
@@bethlehemeisenhour8352 And is this the same g-d who allows innocent children to be brutally wiped out by cancer before they've had a chance of life? Strikes me your deity has some deep rooted psychological issues! Also, I can happily ignore those who are simply 'being kind' whilst harbouring feelings of disgust.
@@bethlehemeisenhour8352 god is human invention so humans are against gays.
@@KastriotHoxha drop it.
@@bethlehemeisenhour8352 Each to their own, fairy tales for you and facts for me.
"I do believe you broke his heart Freddy"
"Thank you"
Ian McKellen said that he had a crush on Derek Jacobi when they were younger. Who would have ever thought they would one day play a bickering, old married couple? :-)
Well, they are not married at that point in the series, they've got married at the end :p
Yeah it’s pretty funny how things tend to turn out 😂 even if it’s for theatrical performances lol
The out takes are hilarious
Derek also stated, in reply, that at the time he fancied Ian rotten
Miledith: It was just a piece of paper. It's the length of the commitment that matters. They had obviously been together for approx 40 years.
Two acting heavyweights having a gay old time!
I see what you did there LOL
It is *VERY* swishy...
The sparkle when the chemistry is right. Did you see that one?
-"I hope I'm not bothering you".
-"Bothering us? We should give you a key. "
🤭😂😁😄🤣
-"For God's sake Violet, nobody wants to r*a*p*e YOU".
-"What an awful thing to say"
I wish this had ran longer. Two series just wasn’t enough. This is good old school British comedy that we need more of. I’m so glad I have the complete series on DVD as it’s always hilarious 😂
That’s when it becomes a Classic 😊
I recently saw those short clips. They are hilarious and awesome. I'm glad I found them.
2 seasons and a movie
Why did it end?
@@MikeA15206a combination of both's busy schedule and health as well as the fact that the BBC never tend to drag quality sitcoms out. A lot of times 2 or 3 series is all you'll get
Two old queens throwing nothing but shade for 20 minutes.
Awesome 👍🏻
Classic shades of gray lol 😂
Gets a bit old since it’s constant
Eh, my grandmother and grandfather were like this all of the time. Mostly because my grandad would instigate it.
2 acting legends in a sitcom that's no short of fantastic and wickedly funny! 😂😂
Marjorie Dieudonne The co stars are wonderful, too!❤️
Violet reminded me and my husband of my old boss, Leslie, lol! So similar!
Really can't understand why this show was cancelled, excellent actors and funny.
It wasn't cancelled, it never was meant to run indefinitely.
Two bitching old queens are entertaining in small doses
Not cancelled-they were too busy
@@srkh8966How are they too busy for one more season?
@@ninab.4540 They’re already under contract for different shows
The delivery on "milky film that coats your cataracts" is brilliant
Man who knew Ian could be so hilarious. He has done such great dramatic performances all this life yet he makes comedy seem totally natural.
Oh I saw him with Patrick Stewart in the Broadway play Waiting for Godot. They were HILARIOUS.
He, Derek and Frances belong to that rare breed of actors that can do
both drama and comedy brilliantly much like Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Julie Walters, Mollie Sugden, Alec Guinness etc.
He was in "Cold Comfort Farm"
"I have very strong bones." Oui, Madame, you already told Hagrid that...
🙈🙈🙈🙈
Funny
THAT'S where I've seen her! Thank you!!
Their reaction when Ash opens the curtains reminds me of an old aunt of mine: she was a widow living in a lovely elegantly decorated groundfloor flat in Bucharest, but she NEVER opened the curtains. I tried once and she protested. Turns out some squatters had made a camp outside and the area was quite devastated. She wanted to remember the area as it used to be in the 50s, not full if garbage as it was now.
I always found the way she was clinging to memories both fascinting and kind of sad...
"She speaks!" 20:58 😂 I love that Shakespeare reference
I just stumbled onto this randomly and I've been laughing the while time.
Drew Fluck same here.
I wish they would add this to Netflix or Hulu.
Nah, this is ITV, which is a TV station.
NETFLIX IS NOT TELEVISION.
It's on Amazon Video.
Not just gay but vampires as well! Those Curtains gave it away!
Vampires that are older and gayer than Edward Cullen. XD
Of course you know they were only trying to avoid the ultraviolet light which defines fine lines and wrinkles.
...well, now I *have* to write the fanfic!
Oh how sweet you are
I think Brad Pitt and Tom Crusie already did that one
Snappy in your face dialogue. McKellen and Jacobi are clearly relishing the script.
Both Ian McKellen & Derek Jacobi were brilliant, especially together, thanks to their dynamic chemistry with one another. I miss watching them throwing biting zingers at one another -- which all came from a place of an undying love, of course. I'm upset that this show was cancelled. :(
It wasn't canceled. It was intended to be a limited run series.
@@JoshBWeaver Wouldn't want too much HOMOSEXUALITY on Primetime TV? 👎😂
@@JoshBWeaver I wish they would bring it back!
Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi probably had too much work to do any more of this! Which is a pity.
It is amazing that we got as many episodes that we got. These two have to be incredibly busy.
This is one of the most funniest shows I've ever watched.
This is still one of my favourite shows ever, shame it was so short but considering Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi are the leads, it's incredible we got as much as we did.
I love that Clive’s obsession over a young Freddie is actually McKellen’s obsession over a young Jacobi. He really did fancy him.
Wait what
@@kR-qj7rw
Yeah, they went to Uni together. McKellen had a crush on him.
@@CompelledUsername as did Jacobi on McKellen, he said it on a Talk show promoting Vicious.
Greater love hath no men...
He's 20. Still younger than the biscuits.. 😁 😂 😂 😂
Gandalf and Ramsay Bolton together!
OH MY GOD!!!!! 🤣
And Madame Maxime I believe.
Magneto is a wonderful old gay man lol
Madam maxime Hahaha 😆 hagrid would be so distraught at hearing this.
I was thinking Gandalf and Claudius, but yes.
All we need is Stephen Fry and we got the ultimate comedy sitcom
It already is! I dont care much for that pompous old fat bag
Agree!
@@jessiejames7492 He's everything but pompous. And as he's also gay, it would make a wonderful combination.
Together with Hugh Laurie!!!
Grateful
Imagine Crowley and Aziraphale growing old together...
I was actually watching Derek Jacobi sipping his tea and thinking "OMG he's so Aziraphale" !!
YESSSS OMG
Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi even resemble an older David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
@@WeirdMaRy91 Derek Jacobi was even in Good Omens, he was the Metatron in (I think) episode 5
theyve already grown old together. their romantic chemistry is not that of a young couple.
F: I was young, handsome and famous......
S: You were barely one of those! 🤣 😂😂😂
PENELOPY!!!
"Oh I'm sorry I was sleeping".
"Sleeping? Your eyes were wide open!"
"Oooh, that's troubling". 🤣
That bit made me laugh lol
"Your hand is REALLY high up my thigh" "IS IT"? LOL.
“I thought Graham Norton was straight”
😂😂😂😂😂
Brits do comedy better than any other country!!! Love this stuff 😉
@mastermind no that's for most of us outside too 😉
Its because we are so miserable and require cheering up
I totally agree there so ahead of most
I agree! I am American born and raised and our comedy has not been great since the 80s.
I think that it's because we've had so much practice at bitching at one another111
Golden Girls Of Great Britain.
"I do believe you broke his heart."
"Thank you."
"Perhaps you want something YOU brought..... I could slice you a piece of NOTHING!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
...oh, and by the way, I'm straight," "well, that came from out of nowhere"....
I love Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi in this series. They are such a joy to watch..
you know why is this so so awesome? because it's kinda like the "gay golden girls"!!! lol
what do you mean "Kinda like?"
That's almost sounds like an oxymoron. The Golden Girls is pretty gay.
Mixed with Married...With Children (just the premise of the unhappily married couple volleying insults at each other).
Canais Young that’s a fairly normal thing that couples do
I love that apartment. If I lived there I would never leave.

Love the William Morris wallpaper. I want it in my house one day.
Same here 🤗
If I lived there I would die.
It's to die for, and in.

Who knew Lord Ramsay Bolton could be such a nice guy?
"......for Gods sake Violet - Nobody wants to rape you...."
"......what an awful thing to say......"
Literally crying with laughter!!!!!!!!!!
@@routeone4790 6.38....too funny xxxx
So funny.
Poor Violet.
Hilarious lol a frequent quote used in our house oddly enough lol
Ha ha ha 😄
Old classics never die, they mature with age. Cheers.

Oh. My. Gay. Gods. What IS this masterpiece?!?! 😍😂🤣
I can only aspire to be half the cougar that is Frances De La Tour!
Oh my God, she is amazing!!
But you, Mustang Jane, are better than Frances.
@@mauriziopuddu4734 high praise, thank you ☺

And violet played the head mistress on Harry Potter ! Ijust realized! The French tall lady!
My thigh is quivering.
That's actually a genius idea and I hope you plan on turning that idea into an actual series. Do. Not. Disappoint. Me.
@@Aja-Christian the series finished in 2016.
Great series btw
Oh my goodness their comedic timing and acting is AMAZING!!!!!
I really wish they would make another series! Fantastic script and marvellous actors!!
54yrs old Australian here who has seen every Brit comedy ever made and loved them all (exception being Benny Hill) so how on earth has this little nugget of deliciousness never crossed my radar ? Thank goodness for the inter web and the you tube.
I loved Benny Hill but back then you didn't have much choice 😝
“She was very distraught!”
“Why, did you finally tell her about us?”
“I’m waiting for the right time…”
“It’s been 48 years!”
“And there has not BEEN a right time…!”
My husband really doesnt care for Brit tv and he was home on leave earlier this year and I just on the off chance was like, i'm just going to play it. I really liked the series and had watched it like 2 years ago when I bought it on Amazon Video. So anyway, i'm in the living room and he's in the kitchen and he starts laughing like after a minute or 2 into the first episode. We ended up watching all the episodes in about 3 days. It was so fun, being able to enjoy a show with him and have us both in fits of giggles and telling our furbabies to be quiet. A ton of doorbell ringing, lol. And finally like into the 2nd season, the furbabies realized it was just doorbell noise from the tv.
But seriously great show, I wish there was more episodes, we both wished that. And then to my surprise husband was like I really loved that show, I downloaded it all so I can watch it again. LOL.
Kenyan Bunnie funny❤️📺❤️
im so blessed you enjoyed it.. and my furbabies acted the same when ever the door bell went off
Lol, relationship goals.
Hahaha, I am Dutch and never realised this was funny. After learning the language and married a Welshman my English got good and the humor got mastered. Now it cracks me up 😂😂
Such a lovely story
This’s exactly how I imagine British people talk in daily life.😂😂
But I do, darling...
I completely and utterly admire these two wonderful gentlemen and their combination on this awesome TV show.
Erica I'm just a country girl from Biloxi Mississippi but I absolutely love British sitcoms, Vicious is my favorite. I grew up in the 90's and avidly watched Keeping up appearances. are you a fan?
@@beautifulbravebookwriter2866 Same. Love Vicious and Keeping up appearances. British comedy is the best!
Came here because good omens... gezz its crowley and aziraphale in AU 😂😂😂😂
omg that's true! It's 100% them
Same here! Had to laugh about the right time to tell people/mother about their relationship.
brasschick42 Crowley: It’s been 6000 years!!!
Honestly this was one of my favourite series as a teen, loved every episode 😭
I can watch this over and over, and i laugh every time. This show is absolutely delicious. How these two absolute legends managed to be ever more brilliant... They've actually topped themselves. The show works so well because it's not just about an elderly had couple. This works so amazingly because Ian and Derek genuinely love and respect each other so sincerely. God it's really like the best year ever.
I keep coming back to this when I need cheering up and laugh like crazy every time. If only they’d made more! One of funniest sit coms ever! T V equivalent of radios Round The Horne!
It’s 2023 have you seen “PUSS & Boots 👢 with Antonio Bandeaus” 🤣
I remember seeing this when it was on the television regularly. The sheer amount of sass in this series is absolutely delicious, especially when delivered with such masterful acerbity by Sir Derek and Sir Ian.
The bit when Ash opened the curtains and they walked in is hilarious.
10:20
Majestic old voice: "*dramatic hand wave WILL YOU CLOSE THOSE CURTAINS!!!! "
"THE LIIIGHT THE LIUGHT *dramatic crying"
How did I miss this sensational show!
What a great idea: Gandalff and Claudius living together. Incredible funny!!!!!
Oh so Britishly funny :-)
"Well maybe you'd like some of what you brought. I could always cut you a slice of nothing."
Love this show. So funny. Wish they had more episodes. Ian McKellan was great as the villain in the X-Men movies.
I forgot how funny this show was!!! And Derreck Jacobi, WOW!! I'M not used to see him in this kind of role!!! Both of these men are two of my all time favorite actors!!!!
I had forgot about this show. Its as funny today as it was back then. Brilliant! British TV has always been better than what we have here in US
Naturally.
The U.S doesn't know good comedy! Why do they think we love British comedies so much..I have to order these!!
'You just cahn't go about ringing people's doorbells!' loooool
Have u ever been Zach afron ....😂😂😂😂😂
I wished this show had more seasons to it
"Your mother is always the first to know who died, does she get the news directly from Satan?"
Pfffft 😂😂😂😂😂
"It's been 48 years!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Freddie : My toes are sticking out in every direction, it's like someone yelled FIRE in a crowded theater.
This really had me is stitches 😆😆😆
No real life queen could ever beat this one.
What a fabulous cast. I hope they enjoyed filming it as much as I enjoy watching this series ❤
I've found my favorite show....wow, I laughed so hard!
I wish Ian and Derek would guest star on Will & Grace as Freddie and Stuart. It would be best gay crossover.
Violet inspired a new book, Harry Potter and the Boy from the Toilet
I just pissed myself laughing, that was too funny!😂
Is this the one where Dumbledore finally comes out?
Gosh, Stuart really reminds me of Mr. Humphries from Are You Being Served! Same sense of humour, and they look quite similar as well! Love this comedy!!
Yeaa i actually tot the same .... till i looked closely at him . 😂
Omg... SAME! and they are BOTH awesome characters from cool Brit Coms 😊
Never compare an original to a copy.
Jesus, this is VICIOUS! How have I never heard of this before?! :D
Perhaps you live a sheltered life .
You just can't beat British comedy.
Great acting from great actors.
I cannot believe how amazing this is. I really can’t. I saw the tiniest clip of this show on a completely unrelated video essay about different personality types and their interactions in film, and I just HAD to find the original.
I think this is probably going to become one of my top favorite shows of all time.
I love Frances De La Tours voice. She's great in Big School.
This is so very good and so very funny ,our 2 finest Actors in the lead role's wonderfully supported by Fances de la Tour, plus of course Iwan, Marcia and Philip. All in all a brilliant creation superbly cast..
My fave line and delivery is "...but Im always so glad when I do."
I feel like it shouldn't but-
"For God's sake Violet nobody wants to rape you!"
"What an AWFUL thing to say!"
-makes me wet myself laughing. What brilliant actors, you can tell they're having so much fun with this show!
I'm watching the series for the second time in 3 days. I absolutely loved it. Annoying, disturbing, slightly creepy as they are, but still incredibly
sweet.
not creepy in the least...
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge I don't know exactly what I meant by "creepy" at the time. I guess their endless bickering gave me an uneasy feeling. to tell the truth, I'd hate being insulted like that. They have this talent of touching exactly the spot that hurts the other most.
and their endless talk of death. as I get older, death gets more frightening.
I guess this is what I meant by "creepy". A long time ago.
@@naly202 got ya.
Oh same! I heard about this show a long time ago but I could find it and didn't know was on youtube!
I know what you mean. Theres an uneasiness to be found here with all the yelling and bickering, it reminds us of real people who are not entertaining when they behave this way. but the skills of the actors keep it interesting and funny and real. Not easy to be this believable and funny.
This is absolutely fabulous! Cannot believe it's taken me this long to find this ... Also seeing Ramsay Bolton in a cute and awkward role is haunting 😅 Derrick throwing the Doctor Who card at Ian had me choking for laughter 😂 amazing
I watched this series before Iwan Rheon was on GOT-or at least before I watched that season, so I knew him as Ash first. When we got the disks, my husband began watching first and when I came in and saw Iwan, I said, “Awww-it’s Ash, he’s so sweet!” My husband just looked at me. I was corrected quickly 😬
@@srkh8966 oh dear 🙈
Also Sir Derek being the War Master and Sir Ian being the voice of the Great Intelligence 😂😂😂😂
It’s crazy to think he filmed this and GOT at the same time. Between scenes with these two funny old gay men he was torturing Theon….
Brilliant writing and acting!
