@@martinnevey7258 The real reason behind Childline was so that when victims of abuse by paedophile elites called up to report these offences the matter wouldn't go any further to protect the elite paedophiles and the unwitting victim's believed that something would be done now its been logged with Childline and left it at that. The innocent volunteers on the end of the telephones would take down the details and pass it up the chain who then took no further action. Obviously paedophiles were caught through Childline but not politicians, royalty or celebrities. I don't know how deep Esther Rantzen's involvement was.
I personally love Bernard Manning he for me was one of the Greatest comedians that ever lived, he really didn't give a monkeys what people thought of him and pushed the boundaries past the limits of the time, RIP Bernard Manning
NOOSE MAN She started Childline but when victims phoned about abuse from celebrities and she done nothing. So many accuse her of being a friend of pedo’s or not exploiting them. Of course though she denied this
If you believe in Jesus then you must also believe in fairies at the bottom of your garden and Father Christmas.! There is no such thing as god and it is about time people grew up and stopped believing in something that is not there!
Some his material was racist. He said as much. No excuse for it now, but it was the time he came from. His timing and delivery was perfect. Love watching him on Mrs.Merton. Everyone wanted him to fail (maybe bar Caroline Aherne) but he owned it. He's vilified now by modern "comedians" mainly because he was funny and they're not.
A man's man ....unlike some of the people who were always on the television The so called celebrities.. never hit a woman or had any scandal about Interfering with kids ...i know who I would have left my kids with . I,d rather they learnt a dirty joke than been touched up . Bernard manning a good guy.
Sean Brookes I saw him in Blackpool mid ‘80’s. On one of the piers. Lots of old dears in the audience. Afternoon show. He didn’t swear ONCE and was equally as funny as when he swore like a trooper. Not many comics can do that.
You have to admit that some of his humour was intrinsically racist compared to today, but it was the norm then. Efforts were being made in the 70s and 80s through comedy to combat racism. Whether right or wrong, the intentions were good. But still many people think his act was just a night of racism. It wasn't at all. As the man said, he told jokes about everyone, including his overweight self. He was a very funny man, with a great gift of timing. The harsh humour came from the very harsh environments he lived in of the 30s to the 70s. That's why he appealed to working class people. He identified with them. He would deliberately wind up people who couldn't take a joke, or who focused on the occasional racist-type joke. On the Mrs Merton Show he just went along with the accusations out of resignation, but sadly it back-fired on him.
Manning, the best comic ever. Comedy theses days are dead or are they. I will still say jokes that are non political correct. Humorous jokes are not a crime.
It's kind of sad though to see Cyril Smith and Stewart Hall in the first five minutes because I believe Bernard's mantra was just anything to get a laugh and not actual abuse.
GOD BLESS BIG MAN LOVED UR CHARITY WORK, giggs in the dale for charity.................never forgotten u were hilarious EMBASSY CLUB STAG NIGHT BEST NIGHT IVE EVER had TRUE
Flipping self righteous Rantzen! You can tell that Bernard was a kind man and it was all an act. He was one of the best..
That prancing Rantzen said nothing about Saville
The irony of Rantzen and the rest of them. All Bernard Manning did was make his audience laugh. No one was forced to listen to him.
Yeah , at least he never covered up for pedos
Well said jack.all this woke bollocks now as bernard used to always say its all a JOKE! Its all about peoples sensitive feelings now its embarrassing.
@@standalby6949Also, he was a devoted family man. Moral Rantz bag had an affair with her best friend's husband for 7 years.

A star. When ever I am fed up he always puts a smile on my face. People of my age (62) still recall the good nights at The Embassy club.

He had a brilliant creative mind, expert timing, fantastic delivery. A unique character.. imagine the fun he'd have with the scamdemic 😂
He was never vindictive unlike some modern right on commentators, i was going to say comedians but the idea of jokes is an anathema to them.
He also had a filthy tongue and was a racist!

Marcus Smith No I didn’t!
8:45 one of Bernard's top 3 jokes and not a word spoken. Genius R.I.P
JUST BRILLIANT COMIC SHOULD BE IN ALL THE COUNTRY'S IN EVERY NATIONS HALLS OF FAME.
They criticise Bernard but he brought people together with his humour and he was a faithful family man.
Nice seeing Bernard taking down Rantzen, what a cow.
He's an absolute legend. Best stand-up comedian,....ever!
BM is the best ever standup comic.
Rantzen ironically the one that actually needs a smack
Ranzid knew all about Savile whilst all along she ran childline , how evil can you get ?
@@standalby6949 Honest to god I bet she was a “fixer” for the nonce
god bless bernard and the rest, they paved the way for millionaire comedians today.
why can't we go back to the seventies, when comedians were funny?
Funny and free! PC age has destroyed the possibility of telling a joke without insulting the bunch of snowflakes that seem to rule life now.
Comedy genius and a decent man too.

Correct 💯
If Bernard had known about Hall and Smith they would have had a rough time.
Alan Crook paedoes
I expect he knew
Bernard manning was great.
Fucking hell some right perverts on here ...
Chidline founder Rantzen criticising Bernard. Yet she said NOTHING about Savile. Sickening.
A Master at his trade ! Time served and it showed ? Proper 😂😂😂
Best comedian ever
Esther Rantzen, knew what Jimmy Savile was doing for years, but said fuck all and let him get away with it ! and Cyril Smith was another.
Absolute legend👏
Esther is evil. She hides behind many ghosts in her closet...
She is an A***Hole...

"What about the children?" 😳
A true legend I was born to late comics to day are not fit to lick his boots 😆😅👤👌

Sour grapes!

Nice,thank you,used to deliver Bernard's milk when I was just a boy,ha ha, moved on a bit now,great to see that great comedian,rip mate.xxxx

Must admitt that was funny, when he said, " Jimmy Tarbuck got a fiver, he got overpaid."
Sadly missed he would love what's going on at his beloved MANCHESTER CITY
Rantzen :- it’s ok Jimmy I won’t say anything
I have seen Bernard live once at a place called Memories ( Legs Up Lucy ) in Helsby, Cheshire & what a night it was, i really enjoyed watching him.

I'll enjoy this.

How can anyone be a hero telling jokes? That’s a laugh indeed!
Reminds of the time Cyril Smith nearly drowned at Blackpool....luckily the coast guard spotted him just offshore clinging to a buoy.....
Liked the Man City one bring back these type of comics. Just to watch the reaction of those uptight correct folks.
