I've never been able to listen to this just once.

Come my little son And I will tell you what we'll do Undress yourself and get into bed And the tale I'll tell to you It's all about your daddy He's a man you seldom see For he's have to roam Far away from home Away from you and me.

Bob Mitchum could pull-off 'charismatic bad' like no other criminally underated 🌟

dont know we're born

Nothing but respect for all the men of heavy industry who helped build this country. Apologies for what we’ve allowed to happen to it! Somehow, with all the technology and advances in efficiency and speed, us working men are still living pay check to pay check. With the tools and methods I have I can produce 3x the amount of work my counterparts would of yet I can’t afford my own house and in the end my wife had to start working part time yet the parasite class are richer than they’ve ever been in history. I’m no socialist and I’ve nothing against a productive businessman becoming filthy rich off his own back but there’s something seriously wrong with today’s society

I'd listen to his show religiously. Unfortunately it was well before the arrival of the internet, I did however, record a few shows on audio cassette!

Great track reminds always me of my dad Now. who sang this one with me before he passed away.. Great fan made video. 😢

Great tribute. Kinda.

Great

They were always holding the government to ransom. That didn't work in their favour at all with Margaret Thatcher

I no longer laugh on saturday mornings.....

Someone could post the lyrics please?

the woke people will say there are full of white privilege but these people gave a land for these people to live here and the right to complain about white privilege. Mind numbingly mad. God Bless.

My mother's dad and 5 brother's were all all Durham miner's (Palmer family) in,i think,the West Auckland pit and lived in Gurney Valley. Does anyone know if it still exists? As a child they would tell me stories of life in the pit and my Grand da would speak in "Pitmatic". Tough people doing tough work in tough times. Respect to all those that worked underground.

9:45 was my great great grandfather Alderman Ned Cowen, he was an author, fought for the rights of minors, has a street named after him near the Angel of the North (Cowen Gardens) and even a local hero’s plaque on the swing bridge. I’m very proud of all he achieved and as someone interested in genealogy it’s amazing that I can watch a video of an ancestor quite far back!

I looked for my relatives but didn't see anyone. My ancestor's brother when he died in 1891 at the pit had a huge Roman Catholic funeral. The coffin was carried through the village shoulder high. The Framwellgate Moor Brass Band played with the Framwellgate Moor colliery banner going first in the procession. The Band played the dead march in Saul ( ruclips.net/video/4Ub6uFPpkgA/видео.html ) from the village to the cemetery. About 400 people attended the funeral to pay their last respects, the road from Framwellgate Moor to the cemetery being lined with spectators. He was about 32 and left the 2 of his children who were still alive by then (and the 4th child who was on the way). RIP

Workers of all lands unite.

when was this out

Royalty should be dissolved all the way down . Money and land confiscated redistributed to the people, same with the Vatican. Now that's a step in the right direction, social justice part 1.

My Dad lived in Stanley, worked down the coalmines when he was a young boy, along with his brothers and Granddad. It was a dreadfully harsh existence. All of them died from cancer, black lung, from working down there. Anyone watching know the name Spinks?

Sounds like a cross between Bing Crosby & Kevin Rowland!

I think the fellow at 2:30 had hydrocephalus as a child. The top of his head is large and very round. Probably why he's in a wheelchair.

I'm almost wetting myself with laughter here. How on earth did I ever miss this one 🤣🤣🤣

My grandfather was deputy at South Hetton and served in WW1. Hero to me.

First broadcasted in 1972, and no color? Why is it in black and white?

my family member j evans ,welsh man ,just been told this info

a lot people want to carryon mining coal,but they can,t because of stupid do,good people,don,t want us to burn coal anymore,if anyone had told these people that in the year,2023 burning coal will be banned they would laughed & thought it highly unlikely,& its all down to enviromentalists,friends of the earth,i can,t stand either of them

It must have been a hard life for Londonderry,poor buggers

Wonder if any of my relatives were in this video. All I know was my grandad was a miner in Durham, and not much else about him.

I heard this when first broadcast, and remember them repeating the call on the following Wednesday. Out of nowhere it came to mind the other day, and yes I found it here. Sometimes RUclips is the archive of everything, and I love it for that. I spent years waiting for Joan Collins on Graham Norton to turn up, and my patience was rewarded, and now this. Thank you.

Coming from generations of Durham miners, this was a very interesting take on the state of play. What was particularly telling was the difference between the quiet, considered and intelligent comments from the miners and their families and the cretinous Lady Walsh, mouthpiece of the Londonderry's, and her take on the great depression of the 1930's.

Wonderful Video - would be nice to know names of people in this video. There must be relatives of these people in the video watching it - myself included.

Let me tell you the story of love and hate

What a life for these lot

Danny and Danny just brilliant. Gordon is a legend. Never tire of listening to this priceless anecdote. I can never wear a bow tie without thinking ‘it should be made of plywood’.

Did he say he had a rattle made out of cast iron?!

great video, it would be great to find out what year this was filmed, any names? location?

DB is a genuine bonefide national treasure. Been listening to him for over 30 years on TV and radio and he just gets better year on year....

Totally quality..baker is a legend

Wonderful!

So simple, so beautiful. I love the Skellington album

I listen to this about once every 6 months. Just the best thing I've ever heard.

I cry with laughter every time!............thanks Gordon
