"Ripping Yarns" is one of the greatest comedy series ever. This is my favourite episode. Every moment is Golden. I've been a Port Vale fan for over fifty years, so Gordons support for Barnstoneworth United truly resonates 🧡
@@stevenaustin8274 Ay up Steve. Thanks for the reply. I can imagine that you very much approve of Gordons red and white Tammie and scarf, and Barnstoneworths stripey shirts. All the best for the season mate 👍
Brilliant. I loved it when I first saw it back in the 70's and it's still great. Don't think it would work though if it was set in any other part of the country. The Yorkshire accent is what makes it.
The scene of Gordon standing alone in the terrace in the pouring rain in an empty ground, but hearing the promise of the crowd, is EXACTLY what it's like being a lower-league fan. Our day will come.
Got to be my favourite episode of "Ripping Yarns". The shorts scene is one I remember from the first time, "These are what matter". I still quote it when out running with my mates, whilst slapping my thighs. Well done Palin, and of course RIP Terry, the more you look, the more intricate detail you see, like the clock on the mantelpiece, back in place but damaged. Thanks for the video.
Wonderful. Some fine character actors like Bill Fraser (the scrap man) and I loved the brief cameo of John Cleese reacting to the wife shouting "I'm having a baby!" down the street. They used some real Yorkshire locations like Kildwick Hall and the old butcher's shop in Bradley near Skipton.
I could still remember that line from when I first heard it back 1974?. Barnstoneworth United, Yorkshire premier League, 1932, Davitt scored twice, once from't centre line.
I live in Gilstead. Salts Sports Ground, where the football scemes were filmed, is a 20 min walk away along the Leed/Liverpoool Canal. I always smile when I pass it. I wonder how many people know what footballing history was made here.

all of these 9 Ripping Yarns are packed with quotable lines. Utter comic brilliance rarely if ever exceeded, and in there with Fawlty Towers as a Masterclass in comic script writing.
I’m sure they all have or had their own individual gifts and talents that they contributed to Python, but of the whole team I have found Michael Palin to be the most talented, funniest and brightest - as well as seemingly likable and accessible - of the group.
On screen you are right but Terry Jones is the genius behind the filming of these series as well as the Python films. So much of the humor is wrapped up in the "real" look of the times represented and the great vision he had in presenting each scene! Its almost like Palin is Jones' muse in this series but that would not be giving Palin credit for his own genius!
Mel Russell The fact that Terry also wrote ‘Labyrinth’, cements him as my favourite Python! His love of history and mystical Britain just make him SO endearing
I’ve never understood why Ripping Yarns isn’t as well remembered as Fawlty Towers. The basic premise of Fawlty was the same every week, and the slapstick and misunderstandings were really a throwback to classic Brian Rix type farces in many ways. I can only guess that Ripping Yarns is less well known because it sends up British, usually English, stereotypes which we recognise the UK, but others won’t understand. In this episode, for me the best of all Ripping Yarns, the clichés are obvious, right down to the brass band playing the Match of the Day theme. I wonder how many Americans will spot what the jokes are about.
Colin Baker, I’m a yank but enjoy these. I may not get every inside joke, but apparently I get more of the British/English satire than many of my country’s compatriots likely would. But they’re all a bit daft, if you ask me. 😉
This episode, 'The Testing of Eric Oulthwaite' and 'Tomkinson's Schooldays' were every bit as good as Fawlty Towers and Monty Python. The other six episodes of 'Ripping Yarns' were a bit weak I thought, and nowhere near as funny as the three episodes that I mentioned.
sorry but faulty towers is a send up of the English and English peculiarity basil is a social climber with no kit for climbing thats the point he is a snob without the wear with all to be one ..............more then ripping yarns ..you missed the point by a mile its a send up of the kind of books Micheal and terry would read shortly after the war depicting fantasy heroes and daring do
The scripts are absolutely surreal - but the actors speak their lines with straight faces, Don't know how they managed to finish filming, it's a laugh every second!
love golden gordon.the best of a great great series.bill fraser is tremendous as fogget .i served with a copper whose father named him tranmere rovers ! he always used tran as his name! so true of the frustrations of the lesser clubs. the closure meeting is very like a similar scene in alec guinnesses the card when he buys a star player for the club at an incredible 1200 pound! gordon brings 11 star players of course.the whole feel locations and atmosphere make this a sublime parody.fraser sorting scrap in his stately home is an inspired touch.and a john cleese cameo.a perfect comedy masterpiece ,
That very first opening shot after the titles where it says Barnstoneworth. Is on Hebden Road in Haworth, looking across the valley towards Haworth Main Street.
This the funnest football film, TV show ever! The real scary thing was that my brother and I had to recite a similar thing albeit the Australian cricket touring side of the late 70s - How I miss those days...
The mental image this comment has given me of some poor Australian kid growing up with his VB drinking dad wearing a Cork hat making him recite the Aussie cricket team to impress his mates when they come round, is beyond hilarious 😂😂😂🏏
Best ever episode. But, if a father is making his son learn all the team sheets from bygone games, there is no way he is gonna leave the lad at home, while he goes off to watch United play on a pitch just round the corner from their house. That lad will be stood by his side, scarf in one hand, wooden rattle in the other.
Best line in this comes during the bit about the missing shorts after the guy is accused of stealing the shorts and the one guy goes "I share peg with him and I never saw shorts"
myself and my friend have been HUGE fans of this series and this episode in particular ,,when ever anyone in the pub starts winging we always say "hes got my shorts" or if our team is crap we say "the useless useless useless bastards " my favorite bit apart from the shorts speech is the way Micheal looks at the wig while trying ever so nicely to get neville to admit to the headers !!
Firsteerr Lastmwwew So weird reading this as an American. I love Michael and Terry. Reading this comment about British lifestyle makes me so confused and intrigued.
3 all, 5-3 after extra time, Davitt scored twice in last 3 minutes and Frank Haggerty saved a penalty. Whenever EPL results are being repeated in our house, Frank Haggerty saved a penalty is always the last thing that's said. "What was the FA cup final result?" "Arsenal 2, Chelsea 1 Aubameyang scored twice in second half and Frank Haggerty saved a penalty."
Best bit for me is when the boy ernestly says"hya dad!" To is old man in the street and Gordon throws half a house brick at him 🤣 Iiterally don't greet my dad any other way. Laughter every time.
The shorts scene has gone down in history. There is a story attached to it (if only I could remember) that it was almost totally improvised. Anyone remember seeing or hearing it?
@@johndoyle4723 THANKS JOHN..I WONDER HOW MNY VIEWRS REALIZE IT IS MR CLEESE? RIPPING YARNS WAS A SUPERB SERIES AND JUST AS GOOD AS FAWLTY TOWERS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. CLASSIC BRITISH HUMOUR..RIP TERRY JONES.
There is no limit to the number of episodes I’d be willing to watch! If there were a thousand, I would find the time to watch them all - twice! I can’t remember being this delighted by television, except maybe, when I was eleven holding on to the “rabbit ear” antennae so that Monty Python was visible through the static. We said we had three channels then. But it was really about two and a half! My little son asked once if there were cars when I was a boy😂.
Absolutely one of the most hilarious scenes ever, but there is also something about his passion bordering on losing the plot that manages to be somehow touching.
There are those who mostly Win and often..."Well it looks like United will not win back-to-back championships.....oh well, there is always next year"...and those who WIN only one game but you never stop living the JOY
Olthwaite at number 8, the bank robber, it was never proven. Also that was the Olthwaite house too only no coal in the sideboard this time. I have watched all 9 over the last few days and absolutely brilliant.

My favorite Monty Python line was 'GEE BUY GUM'... So to this very day, even when his majesty the king is talking to his subjects, I'm thinking of that one Python phrase from all those years ago = 'GEE BUY GUM' 🙂
Pretty sure that was John Cleese in the street who turned around and eyed Mrs Ottershaw's belly when she called to her hubby that she's 'having a baby'.
