Absolutely marvellous,all good funny offence meant or taken,racism was never thought off.Because it was all-in fun and not hate. Today sadly we can’t even laugh at ourselves.
Ah the good old days when we could engage in casual racism and white men could black up, because it was all in good fun. Instead of just admitting the humour was of its time.
Just as hilarious now as when first shown on TV, Dick Emery was a genius of character's, sketches & general humourous comedy, great to see a blast from the past
In the 1960s I worked at the Manchester hippodrome ,in Ardwick Green ..Dick emery was top of the bill,,,he took one of the girls that I worked with out to dinner….These T V shows were really great ,,no swearing ,just good old comedy..How I miss those fabulous days…Now is all bad jokes and filthy language..Sad..
And his movie as someone chased by the English mafia & protected by the Italian one was just as entertaining. Those were the days. Riding his Kawasaki Z1300 through a car wash was awfully hilarious when it came out shrunk.Kind regards.
@@LorettaGrace-kf7kh The younger generation wouldn’t know Talent if it hit them in the face. These men ( Dick Emery, Leonard Rossiter, etc, ) were hired by meritorious talents, not motivated by hitting the jackpot. Kind regards.
I am 57 and i remember watching DE when i was much much younger. Great thing about having 7 brothers and 6 sisters and parents who loved a laugh. Dont seem to make comedy now do they. Cant recall having a laugh at anything recently on the box.
It's strange how Dick Emery who was very popular in the 1970s is pretty much forgotten about today. He used to be the chairman of the Airfix Modeller's Club.
I loved Dick Emery , his characters. Were oh so different. But perfected beautifully .my fav got to be Honky Tonk , and the character the blonde girl, . Its hard to remember they're all the same guy . Still laughing after all this time .brilliant thank you .
It's lather and froth of course, but the fact that it would be considered problematic these days by the self appointed pearl clutching arbiters of taste raises its value as historically valuable. Dick Emery honed these characters into well loved staples of seventies viewing. It seems so long ago now.
Watching Dick again here reminds me of Saturday night TV on BBC 1. The Dick Emery Show and the brilliant Steptoe and Son. Whole hour of the jewel comedy . The best of British comedy. In real life Dick liked the ladies. On television he was the best in the business. Both Harry and Wilfred were great but off camera they didn't like each other .
I loved these comedy shows. They should bring them back. Love Thy Neighbour also but the woke generation wouldn't approve would they? So glad I lived through an era where we could also insult each other without taking offence!
Any idea of the year and broadcast date? It would help with the nostalgia. Loved this as a kid. Grandmothers house on Saturday evening full of family and a big fry up! Very Very Funny Man!
Admiral Nelson did not say,"Kiss me,Hardy!" The word he actually used was Kismet,referring to his premonition of dying that day and was the reason he had asked for his coffin to be prepared for his return.
Todays woke society wouldnt put up with these stereotypes. Brilliant comedian, sixties and seventies the golden age of british comedy, great its all still available to enjoy sgsin .
Ian Gascoigne. Oh yes. Comedy,humour,fun, the best in the world,we could laugh at ourselves and no worries about the curse of imported racism by others.A sad day for us.
29:39 You're right, although there are a couple of possible perspectives, neither of contradict each other. One is that the 1970s are already quite long ago and will only become ever increasingly more so; all things date, including the comedy of Dick Emery. The other is that a pernicious and intolerant sociopolitical 'woke' ideology has arisen since the late 20th century, which would if let fully loose would suppress or destroy everything historically prior to the height of its own fever, whenever that may come.
I agree, this stuff would put in the shade, all the pathetic unfunny rubbish that passes for comedy these days. It's good to see some decent old-fashioned comedy from a long time ago. .
Sadly they won’t rerun his shows as they are not politically correct for today’s viewers. It’s a travesty as he at one point had the longest running comedy show on the bbc, ,17 years !!!!!
The police stopping the drunk driver cracked me up! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love this bloke's humour, he will always missed.
Absolutely fantastic, I really miss the good old days.🤣

Can't get much more 1970's than this
The brilliant Pat Coombs. Great comedy actress. God rest her soul.
johnny how exactly is a cowardly goD going to “rest “? her soul,are you delusional or something
World of Dick Emery,
Thanks for great fun with Dick and his many varied characters!
Brilliant ...when Britain WAS Britain !!! . . . . . . . .
reform will save us !!!
I knew that it wouldn't be long before the depraved and unintelligent racists popped up in the comments. $hit always attracts flies.

Loved the show look how clean and beautiful Britain was then Bliss👍🇬🇧
Thank you for bringing back great memories and lots of laughs. What a shame the younger generation can’t enjoy these clips due to woke culture.
So true!
What utter drivel.

Yes. It's a Shame. I was bought up to laugh at ourselves too! Seen me through many a time.

That is a cracking scene at 1:15 with the chauffeur car and the police 😂 NICE 1.
Chauffeur
Years ahead of his time with comedy,my favourite
I remember watching this show on Saturday evenings back in the 1970s
Again stomach aches with absolute laughter.
Cant beat the English sense of humour..
Not Scottish, Welsh, or Irish? Just pure English?
Thanks for the laugh ! Most unexpected. Just stumbled across you.
He was very good and a trained opera singer too
Really. ❤❤❤
@@russcooke5671 yes made Harry Secome look like a nub see if you can find the video
What a great blast from the past
The coffin sketch is just hilarious. If only Dick Emery was alive today what fun he could have with the stupidity of todays world.
Absolutely 😂😂😂Brilliant.😂😂😂
Brilliant a master of comedy sketches.
Oh the good old days.

Used to love watching this when I was a kid! Nice to see all those old cars - some of which were new when I was a kid!
Maynard Williams playing the Hitchhiker - Bill Maynard's son.
Is it? I didn't realize he was Bill Maynard's son.
Cheers for the trivia point.😎
Must take after his mother then.
Loved this show wish it was back on tv now
Brilliant ...when Britain WAS Britain ......not 'Mogadishu the second!
Jeepers, todays wokearama would have a fit, watching this! More please.
Classic comedy 😊
snowflakes today wouldnt allow classics like this shame really.
Alf Garnett would have been impressed with Dick playing his acting part.
The drunk skit was the best!
When comedy was great on tv,not the crap we get now!
I am the 50th like for this video. Must be Emery-madness. Loving it!🙃

Hilarious show ! fun to see allot of appearances from 'are you being served' , like Arthur English , 22:44 singing kentucky fried sanders ! Lovely!

Love thy neighbour is dreadful
You mean that you could insult minorities without them taking offence, I doubt you were the one being insulted.
Come back please with Dick Enery shows..
We could do with these..
He rened a house down the road from we're I lived in the 7 teeses 😂😂❤
❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 before England was destroyed by immigration
😂😂😂😂😂❤This is why I Love The British❤😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Wow something which is actually funny! Made me laugh out loud - will try to find more episodes.
Min 18:25.... A very good history lesson....😂😂😂😂😂
Why don’t they make tv like this anymore little Britain was the last.
Aaawwww is 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤😅😅😅brilliant,,
DICK EMERY IS A LEGEND,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Your right ▶️
The Isle of Wight?
Surprised the Woke brigade don't want it changed.
Any idea of the year and broadcast date? It would help with the nostalgia. Loved this as a kid. Grandmothers house on Saturday evening full of family and a big fry up!
Very Very Funny Man!
The motor-bike was N reg 1975

Beautiful white England
Thankyou 🎉
Those were the days😊
So funny, once you have seen one rubber boot, you have seen them all 🤣😂.
I'm just here for all the comments from gammons. I wasn't disappointed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where is the location for the hitch hiking scene ? ( It looks like it has just been built )
Absolutely wonderful show from the golden age of British comedy.
Fast forward to 2024: offensive, insulting from beginning to end due to woke cancer.
So good the old stuff jokes that wouldn't be told because of todays standards nonsense
Admiral Nelson did not say,"Kiss me,Hardy!" The word he actually used was Kismet,referring to his premonition of dying that day and was the reason he had asked for his coffin to be prepared for his return.
He also said I see no ships, not I see no signal.

Drive on Smithers!
does any one know where all 167 episodes can be downloaded?
Jonathan Lynn - director of My Cousin Vinny, as the milkman.
And co writer of 'Yes Minister and Prime Minister' too!
Not much on Ernie's plate after a full day's work.
Ian Gascoigne. Oh yes. Comedy,humour,fun, the best in the world,we could laugh at ourselves and no worries about the curse of imported racism by others.A sad day for us.
Its such a shame the writers couldn't see the danger zone. Emery didn't deserve the eventual fallout from the racism.
Does anyone know what year this was first shown. The end dates are always covered. Does the graphic need to cover the credits?
This edition is for 1975
Great....some of the dialogue wouldn't get past the censors today.
I can't help but wonder if Harry Enfield's "ONLYYYYY MEEEEEEE"!! character was borne out of the "dad" character here❓⁉️😂😂😂

Racist Britain in the 1980s with a young Asian actor playing an important role. Something has gone seriously wrong with conclusions about the country
Oh give it rest!
It called humour, something that’s seems to be extinct nowadays.
How I miss these fabulous days…..Thenk you Dick Emery….Sadly missed.
Great victor maddern who was in so many great British films
