I actually directed this! It was for a show called Hold Tight in 1985. Filmed at Alton Towers.

👍👍

👍👍

👍👍

That wouldn't happen to be a very young Peter Serafinowicz @ 1:42 would it?!

I hope thats not mary, darren and karen😂

Are those cream coloured slacks the same ones that John Shuttleworth wears?

It's in Mono, left channel only. Should've been mixed into double mono therefore creating stereo...Ooooooof.

Anyone know if there's a higher quality version of this song?

The communal bath scene is hilarious! I would like to think that rugby players still enjoy such things but I suspect that this naked soapy mass frivolity has been banned

Where is this funfair? I remember the caterpillar ride! The video is fantastic, the ending out of this world. Beautiful song too. Glad to hear post-Jilted John music now, missed it first time round. Better late than never! Buying the CD ASAP. Need "Some Boys," "I Go Red" and "I Bash 'Em" and others from that time. I'm convinced Mr Fellows and Chris Sievey pioneered 60's-influenced indie pop style in the 1970s/80s, inspiring Dan Treacy and Edward Ball of the Television Personalities/The Times, and several more I imagine.

Is this really from 1981?? I can hear a lot of influences in there from music which came much later...There’s a real ‘vicar in a tutu’ feel to it

That’s absolutely bloody hilarious!

This is wonderful

Is that Bill Drummond on guitar??

Everyone should go and see John at least once in their lifetime. That other bloke, Graham Fellows is equally brilliant

I'm excited to be seeing JS at Shrewsbury early next year. Hope his neighbour and long time agent Ken makes an appearance at sometime in the evening, I will buy him a Malibu to congratulate getting JS a major national tour.

Blimey!

I think Oasis must’ve signed with “ Kenny Music “ coz the ticket fiasco stinks of Ken Worthington…. I hope theirs a flask of Coke in the dressing room for the boys during the interval

Look forward to seeing you at Liverpool next year.

I would wave my lighter Mr Shuttlesworth, but a combination of health and safety and having little fuel in it has stopped me in my tracks. The new video will be applied to my Christmas list as soon as I park up.

You are easily the funniest person I’ve ever seen live - I always end up having to stifle my laughs because I almost end up on the floor in tears and helpless 😆👍

actually preceded early pj harvey here !!

Shows how your memory plays tricks...I watched this first time round and have always thought he'd said ''...I know what it's like to be jilted...'', as an in-joke. In fact, he comes out with a similar type of line, but not that actual phrase.

Never mind Lennon /Mcartney, thats what i call a song 😊. Ps is that Mary?

Brilliant 😂, ah takes u back. Love it when he says "you want to hold it, just sits in your hand"

Should have made him a permanent character 😂

Jilted John 😄

Banging

Johns childhood inspiration.

Just brilliant 🤩

I always thought this song was about pigeons for some reason

It’s truly astonishing what can be achieved with CGI these days.

Not a patch on Plonkers Bedsit…

Great work from Bernard the Moron

That Ken Worthington put John up to this I’ll bet. He’s a chump.

Ooof! Not a patch on plonkers bedsit.

Oof! Where's Ken?

You walked right through that solid oak bar counter John! That was very clever of you, though I say it myself.

Love it 😂

Amazing footage

Hotpot Betty loveee!

Oof

1:44 There's a posse of psychobillies hanging round by the boating lake/pond/puddle/place...🕺🏼🤸🤼🤾🚶🏾‍♂️

Gail Shuttleworth has a ring to it.

I'm hoping Djokovic can still get one more, or may be two more Grand Slams before he retires, but it is getting a lot harder.

Brian is a moron!

Thank goodness he didn’t ask for the hot 🥵 pot!

He saw a pigeon in flight. Legend.
