Must have been hard for Telly to return to the dull monotomy of New York life, after having tasted the delights of Birmingham. Probably what killed him.
...my home town i was born in 1974 and this is the Birmingham i remember growning up in ❤ ... Memories, i prefer it to the horrible selfridges and That eyeball train station entrance... vile !!! change it back
Next Week, Telly looks at Middlesborough. "Da first thing that hit me baby, was all that polluted air and the views.....of industrial chimneys, crumbling streets, and Muslims everywhere."
Other Harold Baim productions included: Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham and Telly Savalas looks at Portsmouth. Telly was then replaced by Pete Murray for Coventry, Hastings and Nottingham.
He should have walked past the old HP Sauce factory, that would have took his breath away. As cringe inducing as this is it also makes me nostalgic for my childhood, I always found a day out in town back in the 60s and 70s to be exciting, loved a trip to the open spaces like the Lickey Hills and Cannon Hill or been left outside The Upper Grounds pub with a Vimto and Bag of crisps while my uncles were inside enjoying a few pre match pints.
"This is the view that almost took my breath away!" 🤣 I'm sure many would agree, just not for quite the same reasons!!!😏Telly Savalas has clearly had a fair bit to drink to get beer-goggles for Brum!! The cheesy 70s soundtrack does its best to inject excitement and drama into 'inspiring' scenes of motorways, flyovers and endless expanses of concrete, but just makes the whole thing even more unintentionally funny!!!🤣
Birmingham. Suffered the same fate as London. A sprawling mess - overcrowded, rubbish and graffiti everywhere. I can't believe people pay such high prices to live in such a muck of a city.
Great memories. Pity it's not the whole film. Quite a lot of it is about Broadway, the well known Birmingham suburb. I've always wondered what Dee Birmingham and her family were like....

Is he on glue?
😂😂
Mad how different Birmingham looks now
"nearly took my breath away"? I'm hyperventilating.
How much lolly did he get for that advert.......????
Lol to think with all that footage, and all the different parts of the city he remembers, they still couldn’t get one shot of him in this film.

It would be good to see a then/ now comparison.....
Please don’t...
No comparison
Wish Telly could’ve done Bury. He would’ve loved Bury Market.
So he was the Greek bearing gifts was he? 😂
This is what inspired the bald brummies skit on Coogan’s Knowing Me Knowing You.
I bet it wouldn’t be his kind of town now lmao
He filmed this birds eye view with the help of Roger Bond on a helicopter. Plot twist: Bond accepted the deal for a delicatessen in stainless steel.
Stockport only got a song...

Who loves you Aberdeen?

am currently watching this whilst an episode of kojak is on itv4 atm. who loves ya baby
You just know that Telly never set a foot in Birming-um. He was offered a wedge to say nice things about it and said that's groovy baby.
The only Birmingham Telly Savalas has been to, is Birmingham, Alabama.
Dad dancing of the highest order on show!
Never laughed so much in all my life, born 'n' bred here!
SOTV

This is my new favourite thing ever.......... "An over 40's disco competition...... It was incredible"

Give me a dance with that over 40 lady at 3:00 anyday.
Love to see what he thinks now ffs 👍💪🤣🤣🇬🇧
It's funny, but there's something melancholic about it too. A kind of nostalgia for a past when there was still a future.
I want to see him driving around Birmingham in that brown Buick that he had in Kojak.
That would be a sight to behold.
I bet Telly never set foot in Birmingham.
So he’s a bullshitter? Doubt that.

A classic
😂😂😂😂
Anyone else now want to see Deadpool versions of these "Looks at" cities?
Nice that Telly pronounced it Birming'um, not BirmingHAM. That's a nice touch. What a pro!
Telly Savalas delivering a masterclass on how to polish a turd!
He’s be appalled now lmao
Great memories. Pity it's not the whole film. Quite a lot of it is about Broadway, the well known Birmingham suburb. I've always wondered what Dee Birmingham and her family were like....
It's pronounced Fittee, not Foot - Dee (The way it is spelled by the sassenachs !!!
I was on tenterhooks waiting for him to say it
😆 this is hilarious
He's right, shopping in Birmingham was always an adventure, just not in a good way
Peter Sellers: "Bal-ham, Gateway to the South!"
"Mrs. Taylor, I'm sure somebody loves you, baby"...... Pure gold, Telly.
Mr. Taylor?
good for Mrs Taylor
0:45 ...Wow! Just WOW!
Modern day Birmingham 2021 to 2022. Tom Cruise actually visited and filmed scenes for one of his blockbuster MII movies there! He turned up!
Didn’t he get his car stolen whilst in a curry house..
Easily one of my favourite videos on RUclips! Why would Telly Savalas even do this?
Money, dear boy!
Hoos yer doos telly , who luvs ya baby
"Multi carriageway motorway" So much better than those pesky single carriage motorways.
There was one, in Carrington near Manchester. It was downgraded to the A6144.
The over 40’s disco comps in Birmingham. Kojak couldn’t drag himself away from this or the traffic NORAD centre.
Well this is rather surreal.
