Season One, Episode Five - 19 Mar. 1976
Arkwright goes with Nurse Gladys to the funeral of his friend Parsloe. He's not keen to leave Granville in charge but it does afford the opportunity to get rid of some unwanted bakery products for the wake. Having rung the shop constantly to ensure that Granville has got things under control he later tells him he should get out more - as this will give Arkwright more opportunity with Nurse Gladys. - Zábava
It’s a must watch for me every day! Early morning and before sleeping! Living in the fantasy world of Arkwright and Granville!
same was born in 1979 love it
same here!
Me too. Housekeeper caper is my favourite
Better than a bedtime story
Same here
The chapel scene with Gladys and Arkwright is a triumph of non-verbal comedy - just perfect!
"Don't upset yourself, Lily... We'll get the buns in!" LOL.
Yea and right under the casket as well.
@@xr6ladKeep them warm 😂
Reminds me of days past of cold, misty early mornings with the milkman outside
Times that will never return, sadly
John Challis, what a legend! So pleased to have met him!
Me too. Lovely chap.
Boycie and Delboy
A gentleman
Ronnie gave us so much laughter and joy: moments when for a short time we could all forget our troubles and revel in his comic genius!! Today, with the crop of reformed drug-addicts and alcoholic "personalities" all being handed out knighoods - purely for surviving their addictions!! - I consider it a national shame that Ronnie Barker was not awarded the knighthood he so richly earned!! Just think, even a gang-land murderer has been awarded an OBE!! How disgusting!!
This episode marks guest appearance of John Challis as Bread Man, who later went on to play Boycie on Only Fools and Horses, which of course starred David Jason.
R. I. P. John Challis. Such a sad loss.
@@stephenduncan3605 😂
Not shit Sherlock!! Haha
@PJ Train Not doubting that, but his appearace is so brief that there are people who barely notice it.
RIP Boycie
I discovered this show yesterday. I'm in love
Then you'll also love "Porridge" and "Going Straight" - Ronnie Barker was a comic genius!! 30yrs later,I'd watch these shows on DVD with my 4yo old son. Though he couldn't understand complex dialogue, he understood the situation by their interactions and expressions. He always squealed with delight, laughing on cue!! THAT is the acid test of Ronnies' comic genius: it's sheer timelessness!! 👍
@@tim7052 Nary a thankyou from tha pimp
And a year later the love is still strong
@@iansmith8263 You're welcome.
@@iansmith8263 that pimp? Hush your fkn mouth you basement clown
I’m in awe on the quality of writing, pathos and humour.
I live in ohio and classic British comedy is great, are you being served, this show and many more
The scene with Mr Wilkinson...absolute classic 😂
Amazing - Boycie AND Vera Duckworth in the same episode!
Ark and Gran , what a combination of talent . Nurse Gladys propper apolstered. And other actors great to !. One of the gre. gre. gre. greatest series ever. Ta. Dave
The word is upholstered.
They don’t make programs like this it’s such a shame
Made before I was born, but beats anything made today
Absolute classic this show I could watch these all over and over again
Rest in peace Lynda 🥺
Look at young boycie as the bread man.
I love del boy. The best show there ever was.
Great writing by Roy Clarke but the real magic was the Barker/Jason/Baron gel. Great stuff!
You drive like a family planner!!!!...LOL genius!!!
I love Arkwright... What a loss!! It was a family occasion to watch you on the PBS SATURDAY.. Rest well Ol Man!
You can’t beat pickled onions cheese and bread. The best lunch! 😋
This was the real English comedy,they dont make them any more,like this!
I think I have watched each episode a thousand times. I can't sleep without them running in the background and it can sometimes take me a couple of hours to fall asleep.
Same. I run them on the iPad next to the bed at night.
Me too.
i will never say no if this show come on live all the time
Look who the first customer is,
Vera Duckworth from Corrie
aka Elizabeth Dawn.
@4:37 LITTLE GIRLS VOICE says NOW !! 🎧🎤 👧 she must have been standing by . Or it's an EVP ?? 👻😂. Loved 😍 this show since I was a little girl myself in the 1970s from down Under Australia 🦘
Vis comica, the power to make people laugh.-Asterix, goscinny & uderzo RIP.
Mr Wilkinson cracks me up!! 😂😂😂
Eggs Granville
@@garyhamilton1688 Give 'em up, lad. Turn your back on 'em!
Thank you for posting these.
The old till behaved itself for once...🙂
That must be the only episode where we don't get an Arkwright closing monologue at the end! XD
20:17 The tune was based on "Go To Dark Gethsemane", by James Montgomery (1771-1854). Tune was written by Richard Redhead in 1853. First published in Thomas Cotterill’s Selection of Psalms and Hymns for Public Worship, 9th ed. (London: T. Cadell, 1820 | Fig. 1)
I wonder the same
Well every day’s a school day !!!!!
I haven't got any change
Always love this show.
We all have a Mrs Bluit who lives in our streets lol
So did I
A really miserable old sow who is unfortunately still with us
Classic British comedy 🎭
21:22 I forgot about this guy. A very accurate depiction of someone who tries to subdue their own urges while it shines trough same time he goes around judging others. Reminds me of what Fat Tony said in Simpsons when they were watching Itchy and Scratchy. It's funny because it's true.
Also that last scene with Arkwright made me burst in laughter. Priceless expression.
With his urges referenced in his conversation, he must secretly be a randy, dirty old geezer
Great show yes
You should remember him as he was, I do, full of life, full of brown ale (mine mostly)
God bless the bread Man
I was only 3 when this first came out so I have no memory of it ever showing on tv but watching it now for it accidentally appeared on my screen p. Maybe because I’m hooked on watching British productions. I’d like to say that I liked it for it’s easygoing but that isn’t the case anymore since I realized it was young Inspector Frost I’m watching. 😃 Amazing how simple he looked back then only to gracefully grow older and show more interesting character and handsomeness! Lovely David Jason. 💞🍃💐
Always makes m laugh after all the years. 😅
Oh wow, Liz Dawn before Vera in Coronation Street !!!!
When food was local&fresh
Fcking hell, 😂😂😂 what a character, the church scene made me pee out of laughter
Don't you just miss those days when you took your pocket money to the corner shop and the shop keeper, after putting the money in the till from the previous customer, puts his bare hands into the sweets jar and weighs your boiled sweeties on the all purpose scale?
Sounds awesome! By my childhood in the mid 70's to mid 80's things were only sold in packets
That’s the fight bell, it means seconds out and let’s get some money in the blue corner
Lady at the beginning was in last of the summer wine.
At the beginning that sounds / looks like Vera of Jack and Vera ... then Nora Batty!
Love it!😍
Arkwright doing a bit of Paul Hardcastle at the beginning.
0:33 Vera wasn’t too bad back then.
Nice load of customers in all in 1 go a 🚌came through the wall Grandville
Now I know where Nora Batty goes shopping.
Yes. It's the only place she knows, that Compo won't find her.
Boycie!!!!!😄
Brilliant show and to think Boycie used to be a breadman.
Oh really? I heard that Boycie was a jaffa
Was the baker delivering bread
Boycie?
“Oooh I like that blouse you’ve got on there!”
25.03 who noticed it? the trademark spring clip in the till they didn't loose a finger mist have been a blunder when Arkwright closes the till slowly no bother lol
25:03
that's Boyce at 9:00
holy crap that is...lol
gillius66 "hahahahahahahahahahahaha" , I love Boycie's laugh
Boycey & Del in a South Yorks cornershop eh? Who'd've thought it?
thats formula 1 the bread man... you drive like a family planner........ nenenever know when you are going to pull out in the middle of the road
All those jobs that are dead end but the store still pays the bills. Most people live like this. Be grateful for what horror could have happened.
Meaning I usually look like some sort of slovenly old bag?
:47 The pre recorded, generic Granville out the door.
Couldn't help but notice the bread and buns are always burnt black on top.
Is that normal over there?
A baker who did that here in Canada would soon be out of business.
people who stutter never do when they sing.
I was thinking the same thing!
You're right I've had a stutter all my life but I've never stuttered while singing.
With COVID19 going around I bet half of the state is watching this or aybs they know how do make flims then
Boycie the breadman
That'll Be No Nine Nine Nine.
0:35
It’s Mrs. Wally Batty!
Does the side street to the shop (15:40) look like the intro of coronation street back in the early 70s? When the corrie name came on when the intro tune finished
Yes it does a bit. Most towns in the UK looked similar then. Especially the residential streets. Corrie is set in Manchester and this was was filmed in Balby, Doncaster. The exterior shots were filmed in Lister Avenue. Arkwright's shop is still there too, although it was always a hairdressers.
8:20 delboy and boycey lol
Love this episode, but one thing puzzles me. I've never been to a funeral where the collection plate is handed round! Is this a Northern custom???
I've never seen that in the USA either.
It generally happens in most churches in the U.K.
20:27 After disarming the mousetrap….
She won't marry him as he already has a wedding ring on
Dodge Boy It looks like a signet ring, which used to be quite common for men to wear, though more usually on the pinkie.
best of British
ENGLISH NOT British
@@jameshatfield8410 British 🤫
I remember those legs lol
What is the name of the hymn they are singing?
Look at that. Butter 16p.
What was the hymn or song at the funeral
10:34 sounds like Toad
didnt know boyce from fools and horses worked in this
What is the name of the hymn,that they are singing in church called.?
I never found the part were he is trying to get the tray of buns into the funeral cars funny!
Eeeee Yorkshire folk wouldn’t have a funeral courtage, they would walk !!!
This particular show I had to see with all the ingredients in it to see as the cast work well all together .
Ahmmmmmmmen 😂
Name me a better comic actor other than RB, I'll wait.
Jeremy Irons
While I liked Mrs. Featherstone alot, they should have kept Mrs. Blewett as well.
Anyone has any suggestions of other old shows just as good as this one please?
@Sheila Gravely thank you so much!
Have you ever had a go at Keeping Up Appearances? Same writer, it’s really good.
Wow....too many to list, but I will anyway. This will be quite a long one but here goes....
Only Fools and Horses
Porridge
Fawlty Towers
Rising Damp
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Blackadder (every series, although Series 1 not as good as others IMO)
One Foot in the Grave
Dad's Army
'Allo 'Allo
Are You Being Served?
Bread
Last of the Summer Wine (the longest running sitcom ever I believe)
Father Ted
Red Dwarf
Dinnerladies
Steptoe and Son
Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em
My Family
Keeping Up Appearances (as already suggested above)
The Vicar of Dibley
The Thin Blue Line
By no means an exhaustive list, many more I could name, but these are some of the BEST!
Like the previous poster, my list is really long and I could name more. But for now, here are some of my favourites,
How about:
Dear John UK (make sure it’s the UK version)
Just Good Friends,
Citizen Smith,
The Piglet Files,
Lucky Feller,
A Sharp Intake Of Breath,
The Green Green Grass (you have to watch Only Fools And Horses before this one),
(One that’s really expensive, but good), First Of The Summer Wine,
Hark At Barker,
Only When I Laugh,
Clarance,
The Top Secret Life Of Edgar Brings,
Watching,
And 2 more modern ones you might like:
Yonderland (the dvd of the first series is really really expensive so maybe wait until you’ve got a bit of money, series 2, 3, and the Christmas special (only available separately) are relatively cheap). Brilliant modern comedy.
And finally,
Ghosts (they’ve done 2 series so far, with a third announced. You’re going to love this one!)
@@unitedkingdom8111 thank you so much!

Ronnie Barker was a great comic actor, Fletch in Porridge was one of the great comic characters. Arkright on the other gand was a thoroughly unpleasant bully, miser and hypocrite.

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 ?"
Couldn't help but notice the bread and buns are always burnt black on top.
