For me, Porridge and The Likely Lads were by far the best sitcom spin-offs. Testament to the brilliance of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This scene has the most shockingly hilarious punchline ever!
@@jimbass1968 AWP was indeed utterly brilliant, and spot-on about C and LF's attention to character development. I'll always consider Porridge to be their crowning glory, and a major reason for that was the strength of the characters and how they interacted. Whether it's Porridge, AWP, or the Likely Lads, these are real characters in real situations.
Great film...probably the best tv spinoff bar none.I love the scene where the 4 of them are playing cards in the tiny caravan....then Terry nips outside and takes a piss down the side of it.Classic
So good ... the series of whatever happened too is by far one of the best written sitcoms ever .. Terry’s rants and bobs uncertainties play off each other perfectly..
My ex would only wear revealing clothes, so you can imagine the sort of boutiques she used to shop in, i used to walk out with a very big limp every saturday afternoon.
I'm surprised that no one has spotted albeit a split second at 1.40....a little appendage for those who are so inclined for these things...easier to see on big screen for certain...
It's the silent, mouthing "How much?", she then replies "Twenty two", to which he says "HOW MUCH!!" in total horror. Hundreds of husbands would've reacted the same, having survived/ endured rationing........
Yeah, great scene. I loved the wonderfully dowdy frock Thelma pet is wearing, and I love the glee with which Terry says "Finnish". btw - of all the telly sitcom spinoff films of the '70s, this was IMO head and shoulders the best.
I think it was in part down to the fact they wrote it like an episode, no extravagant plot devices, just a big version of The Likely Lads, plus the understated humour of the original series fit not having a laugh track (at times)
@@dannyflynn5681 Also they didn't mess with it by bringing in guest stars who had nothing to do with the television series or sending them to a holiday camp in summer.
The Porridge movie was reasonable.... This perfectly encapsulated my birthplace just how I remembered it as a youngster, when we came back to visit. The cars of the era, red asphalt roads, the streetlamps were light and dark blue, all the Northern Buses/T&WPTE all in yellow/white livery and Spanish City still existed. The tower blocks might have been grim, but the A1058 isn't quite the same without them. Plus it's lovely to see footage of Tynemouth Priory without the God-awful coastguard station (Bob parking near it and walking down North Pier to see Terry fishing). I go back often and miss a few of the sights as only the Spanish City Dome, Beehive Pub, caravan park and the "guesthouse" (now a private house) just about remain.
@@Glenn1967ful but really most sitcoms thats wat you could do or as with some find a new plot then comes a great film everybody remembers how On The Buses was 2nd best film of the year to James Bond earning half a millon on the buses did only cost £90,000 to make

Must admit; I’m no prude and I’m about as un-PC as they come. But even I think this scene is a little bit prvy and tacky. It doesn’t have the humour of a On the Buses etc.
It’s an acquired taste in comedy, unusual and not mainstream. Clement and La Frenais delve into character humour, people leading fairly ordinary lives but they themselves are the comedic source.
You'd have to dig him up first, so why not just either dry up or fcuk off(?) So this is creepy, but a pack of sad slappers with their quims frothing over a gardener in a Diet Coke advertisement isn't? Cuts in both directions doesn't it........
@@Lytton333 it's just lazy posting from a sexless turd who just wants a world of beige, everyone looking like a clone of everyone else & nobody would be allowed any genitalia.

I couldn't give a shit. I wait for that line every time i watch it and it never fails to make me laugh 😂
It’s one of the best, total deadpan, total honesty.
For all the blokes who have stood on Saturday afternoons at the entrance of women's changing rooms waiting for their missus!
Love it! Love the likely lads, feeling very nostalgic ❤❤❤
RIP Brigit, a great comedy actress.
SHE was amazing.

Couldnt put that better... Sir !
‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet’ was utterly brilliant also, series one in particular. Their attention to character development is second to none.

Such a shame that Rodney Bewes was a terrible actor.
Loved this, not as good as Fawlty towers.

Yeah I rented this movie out just for nostalgia more than anything else. I didn’t expect it to be so funny. This scene made me laugh out loud.
It’s probably the only good spin off. Porridge not bad but the series was better. This spin off was on a par with the series
an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC !!!, LOVE THIS TOO LOL
So good ... the series of whatever happened too is by far one of the best written sitcoms ever .. Terry’s rants and bobs uncertainties play off each other perfectly..
"It looks like a trap"
"Let's walk into it!" 😂
Mary Tamm- a real Amazon goddess.
just brilliant ... the best scene in the movie ... too !
Couldn’t give a shit brilliant
I recorded this on my Betamax tape from the mid 80s,as it was on the BBC one Xmas night! Happy days pet!

I doubt Wallsend had any boutiques like this in the seventies.
Another classic British comedy. Have the Dvd box set but not this film. Also the original The Likely Lads, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello Kidder...
I’d love to know the name of the music
It's groovy as fuck .... Wanted to know this too !
@@thedr.feelgood still don’t know it ! but Spiral - The Crusaders has the same base line, another funky tune about as similar to this that’s easy enough to find
It wouldn't happen to be anything Mike Hugg composed perhaps? He did the TV theme and also the score for this movie (he was in Mannfred Mann I gather)
why it's crap lol 😆
@@stevemaclaine4547 The music spoilt it.
Brilliant
Anyone know the music ? Please!
D'ya know what ah mean like?!!!!!
Changing rooms today, most would be fat and dull.
She is wearing the curtains
Is that Dagma from AWP series 1 ?
No it isn’t. But it looks like her. Dagma was played by Brigitte Kahn, who also had a brief speaking role in The Empire Strikes Back.
that bit is always edited out of repeats
Proper north east dialect like,like,like

Don't get this anymore

She was in Au wedersein pet. The girlfriend of Dennis .she played a German.
She also played Romana@@ianbennett1491
Thelma looks like liz minelli
Yes she does! Never really saw that before.

Never found that series funny at all .......
Series? So you watched the series? Why didn't you stop after the first episode if it wasn't funny? Troll.
It’s an acquired taste in comedy, unusual and not mainstream. Clement and La Frenais delve into character humour, people leading fairly ordinary lives but they themselves are the comedic source.

Weirdly aggressive responses to a fair observation. The charachter actually says "I want every girl in this room."
I don't remember this pointless ,irritating background music on the original broadcast .
It's a scene from the film.
it's good, it adds to the tension of bob standing in the boutique
