Nothing can beat the old British humor. Those were the days. Reminds me of me grandparents Friday nights down the pub and kids could be in the beer garden n getting some peanuts in the off license part of the pub .great times.
They say the best things come in small packages. This is so true of the late great Hylda Baker. I have a lot of old Brit-Coms from the 60's and 70's including "Nearest & Dearest" and "Not on Your Nellie" both of which starred Hylda Baker. Great Television.
Funny 70s comedy with late hilda Baker.ooh you 🤣 big girls 👚 blouse she use to say in Nearest & Dearest.its on That's tv ch 65 on the mornings too.Hilda Baker R.I.P.
Absolutely! When you look at old comedies they are never as good as you think they were but she is amazing . I’m laughing the whole time. The boston dangler ! Lol.
You actually believe people ‘never got offended’ in ‘those days? Which days were these? Take off those rose-tinted glasses! Wars started because people were offended!!!
I think this is ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS! I Love Nellie and the way that she mis-pronounces words reminds me of Brendan O'Carroll's character, Mrs Brown. Hope to see more of these episodes! Thanks for posting it whoever did it - it's greatly appreciated. Her dad reminds me of me own.
June Smith I actually think that Brendan has copied this and added in the F word and other things. This is amusing without the swearing whereas the vile Mrs Brown is not the slightest bit funny.
The London Weekend TV jingle alone is pure nostalgia. Hylda always reminded me of my Northern Granny who pronounced duvet as doo-vett: & got v irate if corrected. 😂
Why do you have to pour rainwater on these fond memories of something that was of its time but no less hilarious. What exactly do you even mean by ‘woke’? To many who actually reflect on the term, it simply means giving a sh*t and not punching downward at those who’ve traditionally been disadvantaged less power, money or social status. What the hell have gays or ‘darkies’ done to you to think they don’t deserve a bit of equal respect. As for ‘wouldn’t get away with it…’? Extinguishing others’ free speech is the the habit of the right like Mr Woke himself, Ron DeSantis. Don’t act like a victim and play the ‘white race card’! 😂😂😂😂😂 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🙏🏿🇬🇧
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 ?"
jessie james in the 1970s a whisky was about 25 pence at most a full bottle of whisky was £2/50 i googled the answers hope this helps so £10 would be about 40 single whiskys in the local pub
@@stewartsanders8493 The Bank of England inflation calculator says £1 in 1974 is worth about £9 in 2024, so a £2.50 bottle of whisky then would be £22.50 today....that's actually pretty close to reality, most single malts more expensive but still easy to get OK blended whiskies below £20.
I wouldn't say it's brilliant, nor is it the worst; but a firkin's worth of dark & bitter will make it more enjoyable. It is interesting to observe some of the references to a few of the ales that no longer exist, like Watney's, Whitbread, Courage; they were some good ales back in the day, before the multinationals took over and ruined them.........
Oy!!! It's the cream mate!!! LOL!!! It's quite simple. The difference between porters and stouts might only be a matter of brewer’s discretion. These two form a virtual continuum, the minor differences barely a justification for designating them one style, or sub-style, versus another. The style "Milk Stout" can mean only one thing, that there has been an addition of sweet and unfermentable lactose. Milk stout is a mere century old, though much longer in the making. Its brewers capitalized on the shifting tastes of their patrons, who were tiring of aged beer and demanding more fresh beer, and usurped the long-popular porter, England’s 19th century stalwart. Milk stout was actually influenced more by a preference for mild ale rather than one for black beers. Today’s milk stouts, or mild ales, are finding themselves more akin to "marketing" than it's historical form; such as Guinness looking for more sales, so they decided to tweak a recipe and slap a different label on it. Regardless, no amount of it will make this comedy any funnier......
He was also in the minder episode "A tethered goat" as the leader of a terrorist group in England trying to assassinate a Muslim president who Terry is minding..great episode and Michael Sheard is great in this ...👍
Ps he.was also a gym teacher in the sweeney episode "hit and run " in which a teacher (carter's wife) is mistaken for another teacher and run over and killed by diamond smugglers using school trips abroad as a way to smuggle..
If that big fella grabbed me like that from the chair i would get hard man Gilbert to sort him out coz I'm a coward PS the guy in the black coat the window cleaner looks like the lead singer from the flying pickets +
I like Gilbert's tight LEATHER PANTS! I'll bet he likes a "little hand" on them? Come to think of it, it's not just his pants I like ...... I like Gilbert too! 👍😂 I hear he's very good with his hands! Perhaps he could put a little one on Nellie's watch? 👍😂
STRANGE that this was from LWT rather than the "usual suspects" when it came to stereotypical "by guum"/"by 'eck" northernism on networked ITV, Yorkshire & Granada!. Note that, as in MANY episodes of both this and Nearest & Dearest, Hylda AND jimmy Jewel often paused before the next line having clearly forgotten what it is or, on some occasions, trying not to laugh at the ridiculousness of what the script required them to say. I gather that for Hylda at least her later years were marred by both alcoholism and mental institutions.Was the Gilbert character recreated in the ITV variety show "Hi Summer"??.
Hylda Baker wasn't an alcoholic. She had clearly been suffering early onset Alzheimers for some years by this point (1974). From about 1970 onwards she found it impossible to learn lines and had to read them off props dotted around the set. It frustrated Jimmy Jewel enormously and (as you say) sometimes made it look like he also had forgotten his lines. It probably explains why so many of Hylda's lines were tired old favourites like getting a little hand put on this watch, because they were the only ones she could remember. Granada were not happy that LWT had created this rip-off of Nearest & Dearest and insisted on Nellie having a different surname. Originally, the idea was for this to be an official spin-off, with Nellie moving down to London from the pickle factory. This was not a happy show for Hylda Baker, her dementia was starting to take hold and she broke her leg half way through series 3, having slipped on some beer. This brought the show to an abrupt end and, famously litigious, she sued LWT. Apart from the odd novelty appearance she never worked on TV again.
But strangely not unkind. Some mild racist comments and stereotyping the gays but not cruel.Baker was a big Gay rights campaigner, when it was not fashionable to be.
wasnt this series Not on your nellie that came first? then when he died, then her useless brother came back to help out in nearest and dearest. . Not the other way round. I love the episodes with her father ....
jessie james I know the answer now, having googled it. Nearest and Dearest came first. The writers did not have the copyright for the character. So when they wrote Not on your Nellie, they had to change the name to Nellie Pickergill. To all intents and purposes the character is the same but different.
Nothing can beat the old British humor. Those were the days. Reminds me of me grandparents Friday nights down the pub and kids could be in the beer garden n getting some peanuts in the off license part of the pub .great times.

Oh and what a talent. Takes hard work to mispronounce consistently like that and so smoothly. First time watching this. I think it is a jewel.
June Smith I actually think that Brendan has copied this and added in the F word and other things. This is amusing without the swearing whereas the vile Mrs Brown is not the slightest bit funny.
Don't compare her to Brendan OCarroll, he's an overrated little twat
Exactly ... Brendan isn't original at all .

Whiskey River TONTO. you're Gilberts boy friend
I remember those ales.
Hilda is older than John Barret.
Poetic License I think, I looked the date of birth up too. It is bizarre though!!!!
John Barrett played Sir Ian Mckellan’s Father in his West End debut.
Alfred Molina @ 1.02 ?
nellie looks older than her dad..ha ha...
Until he took those teeth out!! Lol
I thought it was her brother but she is very funny l dont remenber 😁😁😁
He looks like Michael Sheard who played the character Mr Bronson.
Mark Armstrong In gange hill he wore a red wig,and I remember him as a fiancée of Emily bishop in coronation street after ernest died.
+Mark Armstrong rubbish - that's Admiral Ozzel from Star Wars!
he's a fantastic actor.
He was also the manager in the later episodes of On the buses the ones with yootha Joyce in after stan had left.
He was in minder and the sweeney too...
Was the detective also a teacher in "Grange Hill" who was hated by the pupils, his name escapes me.
Yes it was the teacher from grange hill. He was also Emily bishops boyfriend in coronation street after ernie died.
And he was in The Empire Strikes Back the best death scene ever
@@faltskog36abba Michael Sheard who played Mr Bronson. He was also known for playing German characters.
