Sunday afternoon will never be the same. Remember sitting down with my late Mum and Dad watching these great old time movies. Life was simple and movies where great .😢😢😢
This was filmed on the old Alton to Basingstoke line. The station used was Cliddesden, just outside Basingstoke.
Is this where
Brief Encounter
was filmed ?
My grandfather worked with the director of this movie, Marcel Varnel at Elstree durig the early 1930's. Marcel was a fantastic director, but quite eccentric. He used to insist that no-one ever looked him in the eye, which made conversation difficult, and he also smelled quite strongly of cheese.
My father introduced me to Will Hay, Phil Silvers and The Marx Bros when I was a kid Decades later I still love them.
Bilco when they accidentally enlist a monkey is the greatest episode
@@Alienalloy Hilarious.
Only rewatched this last week, then you come along with an even clearer version! Now I'll have to watch it again, poor me.
same here well done on 40.5k subs
Great film and your new series is great
This is the type of movie you could never remake , I don't know how to put it, but it was and still is a crap film, but it's that crap it's good in its self for the time, when people lived a simpler life than today, that's why you couldn't remake it, people wouldn't get it. A simple way of life..
Yes indeed
I watched these 3 all the time as a child in the 70s, absolutely awesome days 🇬🇧 😅
Absolutely love Will Hay films 👌👍
Absolute wonderful Sunday afternoon watching a Will Hay film😂😂
Absolutely love ALL the Will Hay and company films, but this one has to be my favourite! Thank you.
I watched oh mr porter as a kid with my dad in the 90’s! Brings back amazing memories of weekends that somehow seemed brighter and warmer than they probably were!!
The irony of having been given a station master's post at a station so remote, you have to take the bus to get within two miles of it and walk.
Imagine building a park and ride nobody can get too, ohh hang on we did that this year 😁, the world is an odd place
Love these films a more innocent time in British cinema
So glad to watch this absolute classic!
These three made six amazing films. But this one is my best. No PC rubbish. Just pure entertainment.
Oh my! That fall at 3:05 looked painful.
This is *probably* Will's best film and best individual performance. Nice picture and sound quality. :-)
RIP Gladstone. She was apparently not ready for another 90 years
Many years ago I bought the Will Hay box set. Love them all. 👍🏆🇬🇧
Arnold Ridley (Godfrey from Dad's Army who wrote both the play and co-scripted the film) said this is where Dad's Army came from, and he always felt slighted that Perry and Croft NEVER acknowledged it.....the bumbling slightly incompetent captain (Mainwaring), the old codger (cpl Jones) and the lazy impertinent boy (walker - not pike)...watch how Hay acts and you can really see Mainwaring !
for those (like me) old enough to remember the interview was on 'Pebble Mill at One' !!! happy days !!
He also wrote the ghost train if I remember rightly. Another good film.
@@swanseamale47 This film was loosely based on the the Ghost Train but was not written by Ridley. This was actually written by Orton, Edgar and Guest.
Getting films mixed up ridley wrote the play the ghost train and sold the rights for a pittance. Oh Mr porter was not written by ridley at all. Sorry
My late parents loved Will Hay and of course I came to as well. I love the speeded up films from those days, that steam loco looks like a Bullet Train HAHAHHA🤣😂I cant believe I ended up living only a couple of miles from 'Buggleskelly'! Such a shame the track and station are long gone only the trackbed now so Im going to look for 'One Eyed Joe'! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES Thank you Will, Moore and Graham for the years of laughter.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have watched this many times and never tire of it. Spent many a nice winters evening watching with my Brother and Grandma.
HA - I am sure I may have watched or listened as I worked (instead of music) to all of this mob's movies to probably more than 100 times over the years - I never get tired of these and also BASIL RATHBONE - NIGEL BRUCE - SHERLOCK HOLMES movies
True simple comedy as it was, and still should be! No foul language, no smut, just clever.
FUN FACT: Hay was born in Stockton-on-Tees, UK which was also the birthplace of the Stockton to Darlington railway which was the WORLD'S FIRST LOCOMOTIVE RAILWAY BORN: 1825
-Hay was born 1888.
Brillant update of one of my all time greats - its almost like it was shot on video! A big thank you to all concerned : )
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤SUCH WONDERFULL ACTORS X ALL CLEAN FAMILY FUN.HAVE LOVED THESE FILMS SINCE A YOUNG GIRL .NOW 73 YRS YOUNG .BLESS YOU FOR TRANSPORTING ME BACK IN TIME. 😂😂😂😂😂.MORE PLEASE.❤❤❤❤
that’s the telly viewing sorted for tonight thanks tom 👍
1937 - some great stunt work and filming on location instead of a studio, long time since i last seen this movie.
I absolutely love old comedy films will hay Graham Moffitt
Thanks Tom, You certainly haven't wasted your time.
I love this film for many reasons but the main reason is the windmill used for many of the scenes. It is Terling windmill (Essex, England). The village where I was born and grew up in the 1960s to 1980s. The windmill is still there today but minus it's sails and has a house built on its side.
Check out my other video about the windmill and my model of it (from about 3 months ago). Also the Prodigy's Leeroy Thornhill lived there until about 10 years ago 🤣
I think that sir Nigel gresley Pacific A1 class looks like Spencer to me. @@BuggleskellyStation
My late father always used to say he loved the Will Hay movies as a kid and this was his favourite. I've watched it too, a few times, although not recently ... until tonight. Still pretty funny.
The LNER train doesn't look like the LNER Azuma I was on, a couple of days ago.
watche dthis 1 million times
cheeeers for the uplaod
One of my top 5 films of all time.
Clocks forward and back made so much sense to me 😂😂😂
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - the best quality I have seen. I watched WINDBAG THE SAILIER last night - whist laying in much needed hot bath to relive some pain - and now this tonight in such quality. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA
One of his best films
As to be one of the best comedy films ever made😊😮😊
British comedy at its finest even in black and white it’s still entertaining and funny
Great quality here. Love to see colourised too.
I love these old films.
wow that took me back, an excellent watch in my man cave with a few drams of whisky!
Wonderful!🚂
This is awesome, I’ve only seen Ask a Policeman back in the 80’s when i was a teen and i loved it. I'm subscribed ✌🏻🇬🇧
my dad would have loved this movie, so im dedicating this movie to him, he loved a good laugh and the brits were the best at it at that time. even if he was more into ace pilots and the like, he would have love the trains just as much, how you loved it dad..............❤❤❤❤❤❤
brilliant thanks
"Smug mode engaged" - I've got the Will Hay collection on DVD :)
This upscaling and AI or whatever is really impressive.
This is a great film, and I'm a fan of Will.
Many thanks for the time and effort This must take.
Your work is appreciated my friend.
My fave film. Thanks.
What can I say excellent movie was walking my dog when this came .Will look properly.. if the next trsin hasn't gone.😂😂
You're wasting your time..................
You waste yours I'll waste mine....I think.🤣🤣
A true legend Mr Hay. The old man is so funny as well. Your wasting your time! 🤣😂🤣😂🏆👍🏆
Second time watching in a month. Always entertaining.
The Windmill scene was the best part, lol
Got mixed up. Thought this was The Ghost Train film with Arthur Askey. How could I have forgotten Will Hay!! 😂
Hi I subscribed your channel hopiing more and more British movies with 4K quality films.
Thankyou so much ..Never tire of Will and the gang ..Any chance of posting the Ghost of St Micheals .? Would love to see it again ..
Get me another beer and I'll show you another trick
Check out that rail track it's weed free
fabulous. I had a 200ft super8 mm condensed version of this when i was a kid. top ten movie without doubt
I have a few Will Hay films on Super 8mm but nothing to play them on unfortunately
It took me an equal amount of time to figure out the Tipperary joke as it was to get there.
Even better when you watch the utube videos on buggleskelly revisited.
Alton to Basingstoke via Cliddesden..ah what a lovely journey that must have been
@@railwaychristina3192 The Viables roundabout in Basingstoke has a small section of track in it. You have to look down in the middle as the road is above. I can't remember all the stations but there are the remains of a platform which was used for the World renowned Lord Mayor Treloar orthopedic hospital ( now a large housing estate ). The line spurred of the main Alton to Winchester line ( now the preserved Watercress line ). I can't remember Alton to Basingstoke, before my time, but I used to enjoy the trip from Alton to New Milton via all the town and village stations to Winchester then Eastleigh, Southampton and New Milton. Good old days. 🤗🤗
Watchin it now! So primitive its brilliant! Fantastic movie. 🤘🏻🤣
Oh funny film remember that funny!? When people laughed and giggled ??seems so strange nowadays where film just offer violence,sex ,killings etc..i feel sorry for the kids of today who've missed comedy like this and other great british comedy and american Saturday matinee"s i feel lucky ive got those funnies in my memory bank.lol.thank you for sharing this film.. cheer's..
Great film.
I’ve got Will Hay box set I love ask a policeman
Those two actors take a real pearler of a fall of the platform at 3:06 .
@Deano4322 there's moments like that throughout the film. In one scene Hay nearly got run over by Gladatone as the man tasked with warning him thought they'd finished filming. That was the take used in thr film. No such thing as health and safety then 😆
@@BuggleskellyStationand budgets were tight , very few retakes
this was great AWESOME FUNNY
Love watching old films, my husband swears and black & white again, but what I like is they don't show sex, or blood and gore, which I think this days put ideas in people's minds, everyone shows what they have got these days, so sad because women were taught to cover up and don't put everything on show because you had a certain name
all the old comaday films from this era were great , the titfeild thunderbolt being one o ma faves , not forgetin the carry on movies plus St trinians Norman Wisdom etc , you would not be able ti call it that now though , to many busy bodies who like ti try an tell us how ti think but we can still have a good laugh at them , aye !
Love it.
Superb quality upload
Thankfuly no dreadful colouration !
and excellent 1080p print
Yet soon AI will make good colouration , just like this awesome AI upscaling of this classic Will Hay film.
Excellent, thank you
Oh Dr Beeching's opening theme was clearly a reference to this film's.
This has the same theme as Oh Doctor Beeching! Brilliant!
Yep, but they are both based on the original Music Hall Song 'Oh Mr Porter'
@@BuggleskellyStation This films title was taken from the Music Hall song and that is the the song that opens the credits of the film. The story itself is an adaptation of the Ghost Train story but it's been adapted to feature three men who work at the station as opposed to a group of passengers who get stranded at a haunted station.
back when you could still drink on the job at 90 years of age! the good old days
I really liked the Napoleon/Moscow joke.
What a great film something to make you laugh for a change 😂😂
A gem from a more innocent age.
Classic stuff. Innocent joy.
Great comedy
There is NO WAY, that at 3:04 that fall off the platform was supossed to happen, they were not stunt people, it was an elderly man and woman who fell hard and far. Just the way it cuts after the fall shows this. I would love to see the whole take.
Let's split a Stilton cheese and watch a great old comedy!!
Rest in peace, Gladstone!
Shades of The Ghost Train.
It’s a wonder how Will Hay managed to learn how to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch! It’s the longest name for a town in the world!
No, theres a longer one in New Zealand.
@@Golo1949 what is it?
@@Golo1949 Just googled it. That’s a hill, not a town.
hilarious
Genius
Still very funny after all these years.
Oh Mr. Porter (2000)
Cooking with Graham Moffatt
I wonder if anything remains in this location of Cliddesden station , there seems to be a house in the background of the signal box at 23:55 ?
Also something behind Will at 26:59 but possibly just a carriage on another line if one existed behind the station.
There's nothing left sadly, the site is in a private garden now. The houses in the background are still there. We unveiled a Buggleskelly bench at the village hall in 2018 and were invited to film a fake Time Team episode by the home owner. You can see it here. czcams.com/video/gtJTkgPOn0s/video.html
"BRAVO" 👋👍.
Love this movie so much, would be very nice if it could be colourised ..
Theres some bad AI colourised versions on CZcams but don't bother, the colours are so wrong I couldn't watch them.
Why would you colourise a classic, got to be something wrong with you if you want that.
Plz colourize and do a slide-show video, mate, of the famous B & W photographs of famed Yankee photographer Ansel Adams. Adding colour would be a banger!
@@lizlawrence4553why wouldn’t you? You could still see the black and white version if you don’t like it
Please do not colour this film , leave as is thanks
Great old movies back when they were comedians not like theses days
Lady The Lost Engine in T&KE Livery
Sir Topham Hatt Phones Buggleskelly
Oh yes baby
Well, given issues with their recent locos......
Great thanks ❤
Alton to Basingstoke railway
I worked at Basingstoke Stn for years. Used to despatch trains from platform 1a ( Salisbury) this was the departure platform for the Alton light railway.
