Lovely film. The homeless lady was my sister in law. Very well spoken, not a bit like her character. She had great fun filming this as she'd just wander around London being filmed from a distance,& most passers by thaught she was a real bag lady
Ibthink i would of be fooled by your sister in laws performance very convincing 🇬🇧👍
ANN
What a nice snippet of info . Thanks .
thats a charming story.
Ahh , nice 1 mate , 1 of me favourite film's 👍
Now that is what i call a classic film. Brilliant British all-star cast.
It's so good to finally be able to watch this film again. This is both a comedy and a satire. One of my favourite films.
guaranteed 16:05 that is not willesden - the only overhead train line like that is near griffin close but not as wide and has never had any cars parked there
but love the style back then - the way we dressed - the way we used to talk - that real 80s london twang
back when a map was the satnav - those were the days - great upload - thank you for sharing
I love this film so much because of the superb shots of London in the 1980s - brilliant nostalgia.
One of my favourite films. Sums up early 80s London. Immaculate production and performances.
London before it was ruined...
First time buyer, Willesden 1984, £29,500 😂. Just checked 2 bed flats for sale in Willesden today..... add a four in front of that £420,000
This movie was a brilliant social commentary, disguised as a comedy. I love when they're saying goodbye to the flat! It reminds me of when my son was little, before going to bed he had a routine of saying goodnight to all his toys. Lol. Good times. Good times.
First thought, in the first minute, seeing the ten actors' names, one after another all well-known and wonderful artists - this just cannot, cannot be a bad film...
Next minute, remembered I'd already seen this film, many years ago, and loved it then. So here goes for a guaranteed two hours of pleasure...
If it's new to you, do watch it!
Thank you, uploader.
This is a piece of cinema gold . Stumbled onto it by accident . Will soon not forget it. Thank you for sharing. !!!!!
Thank you for this story...I will be thankful and happy ALREADY...I have more than enough...thank you, Jesus, YOU and I will be fine...
Great actors in this film who sadly have passed away. Can't beat British Drama. Thanks for upload 😃
Maurice Denham was a veteran actor who played his roles to perfection
I remember him in 'Sink the Bismarck' he'd been around for decades and is sadly missed.
What a good movie. From an American that loves British comedy. Just happened upon it. Love the themes in it. Be content with what you have. Totally enjoyed, thanks for posting
A treat from start to finish, just a nice laid back little movie, typically english, thankyou, ric, ontario canada, i hated to see it finish.
What a beautiful piece of work. Immaculate cast and perfect script.
Yes and I met those guys when I moved house.
No CGI, No Green screen; just a great script, acting and direction.
Blimey, what a stellar cast! This looks just my cup of tea. I can't stand anything that comes out of Hollywood or much made after 2000 for that matter. Thanks uploader.
A superb example of British comedy drama. 10/10
I've said it before and I will say it again, the Poms make the best movies !!! From an Aussie fan :- )
Its true and the convicts make the worst tv ever...
@@CARLIN4737 And you lap it up..."Neighbours".
Lovely ,gentle humour and entertainment , the way it was ! Thank you
Thanks so much for uploading this. Such a good film. 👍
I've been looking for this film for years! Thanks so much for uploading it!
Me too!
Wonderful English classic.great all star cast.
This film, is something more. It is not just about removal men, the theme going through this film, is philosophy and the motivations and the precept of sins that we all are supposed to recognise. Yet, in this film, we see motivations, innocence, the agony and joy of relationships, the hope and of course, the need to get back to where we are both emotionally, spiritually and physically. Yet, we have those interludes of, thanking our blessings as to what we really have. Hence the homeless woman....
Whut? 😏
I remember seeing this in the mid 1980s I think when it was on Channel 4 at the time. I vaguely remember Nigel Hawthorne in it being pompous about lightbulbs at the time too! Thank you of course too.
Yes I know I saw it at least once of course and we found it very amusing at the time then so too!
Terrific film...very much underrated ...
great performances... marvelous location shots of London... funny, satirical and a fascinating snapshot of the UK on the cusp of full-on Thatcherism..
Amazing chance find, what a wonderful little piece of film! Thank you, really enjoyed that!
Now I'm all nostalgic for 1984.
So am I. The year when I graduated from university.
@@dadodydo 🙂
So pleased you put this up. My favourite film of this wonderful era. As sampled by BAD on the first album too. Thanks
Yes Sodom and Gomorrah.

How wonderful that this film is now available!
SHEER BLISS
British film making at its best. I adore this film
Great picture, very funny brilliant thanks 👍
Haven't seen this for years. Thanks for the upload. Great film.
Great upload. Remember this when it came out. Good cast and acting. Very much enjoyed.
lovely to see old London and old cars, used to work around those areas .... thanks a lot
Blimey,some faces in this.
What an absolute gem
I LOVE this film. One of my favourite !
I quite enjoyed this film. Several parts of the different scenarios mirror my past, so I can say that it really hits 'home' for me.
its supposed to mirror different phases of ones life....
I remember this movie as a kid couldn't remember the actors but i remember the story. I Google the story and found it RUclips and the Internet has brought these chems back to life. Not before RUclips take them down.
Thank you so much for the upload! Much appreciated!👍
Great old London film 🎥 my lovely home town as I remember it in the 80z I wish it cud have stayed that way forever
Brilliant, same here, been looking for this for yonks!! Thanks!
Proper film. Something close to real life. brilliant. Making you understand toils of the chains of life
Brilliant.
The only actor missing in this would have been Bernard Cribbins possibly as Tornado thinking of Right Said Fred whistling it when carrying everything out...
thanks, takes me back to film 4 days
Brilliant to see this on here thank you 👍.
What a great film, don't know how I missed this one, thanks for posting
I can't thank you enough for posting this on RUclips! Every time I have searched for it without success. Love this film and am so happy I can watch it again. Thank you so much. We watched it on TV and it was so relevant to our own moving through the exact same chain experiences. There was a kind of follow up, no, a similar drama featuring Penelope Keith called, I think - Moving - which I hope you can also find for us avid memorists of great British dramas of our youth?

@Chris Waddle. You're wgelcome.
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?
Wrong programme
This was on talking pictures TV yesterday.
Great film.
Brilliant film ☺️
Excellent film with a great ensemble cast though Warren Mitchell still stands out as does Nigel Hawthorne for different reasons and great to see some old British character actors again like Ron Pember and Maurice Denham who gave me my biggest laugh with his stopwatch but also sad at times though if I were to fall Ill Bethnal Green would not be my first choice location.
Must watch film later - looks like a good one!
This is a real gem of a TV movie from the early days of Channel 4
Marvellous!!! Thank you
..... viewed your channel; - some good films 👍🇬🇧 have sub.,
Adored it ❤
£ 29,500 for NW10!!!! A bargain.
Good film I enjoyed ☺️
The old bag-lady symbolises the ideas of Diogenes.
I just looked this little jem up i didn't know its name i just Google the plot. It looks more like the 1970s then the 1980s.

GREAT MOVIE !

Warren Mitchell 👌.
Thats what I remember about this film.
'Moving house is a big upsetment. People get upset'
A line that is dramatic, poignant, sad and hilarious, delivered perfectly by a great actor.
lol you just lay there while
i bounce up and down.
The removal guy was like wottts i wish it that was me.
FUNNY TO SEE ALF GARNET AT WORK !
Chains are very stressful & some people in them are dozy.
I may move after nearly 40
Years I keep crying but there's worse I suppose
USED TO SCORE THE BEST HASH IN HELEN'S CAFE HACKNEY IN 1985
great film, but the furniture movers were not carrying the stuff right? typical actors.
Dear Warren,
Because of this film, I now have a crush on Phyllis. Is this normal?
Thanks for posting this beloved film! I volunteer to edit the auto-generated captions, which don't do the dialogue justice -- are you interested? I'm not sure how to do this since YT took away the community captions feature.
Just corrected a few seconds worth as a sample, shite original above, corrected in next reply.

Before putting ashes on yer bed made sure the soil isn't already acidic.
Ashes reduce soil acidity, they don't increase it. If that's what you were saying?
No ulez or congestion charge in those days
Great
why are the talmud always writing about chains ?
Nigel Hawthorne was superbly obnoxious.
God how do some people live with partners like that
The storey was a bit lousy but always good to see London before tony blair and khan ruined it.
Have you heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Which storey would that happen to be? First?Second?Third?
