One of the greatest and controversial comics ever. The delivery is outstanding. Imagine how hard it would be to make a whole room laugh without saying a word?!?!?
a legend in his time when anything went and no pc mob moaning about everything, he told jokes about everything and everyone and nobody was offended because everyone knew it was comedy, the guy done loads for charity as well. if you weren't alive and didn't know british culture at that time you cannot have a go at the man, he was a comedy hero.
What a wonderful man. The salt of the earth. Even in 2023 after watching all his jokes again and again… he still cracks me up. Rest in peace Bernard!! Ya bastad. 😂
I once served this lovely gent when he came to the cinema I worked in. He was a lovely chap to talk to and even left a wonderful tip to the ladies on the concessions counter. He had time for everybody he spoke to. And I didn’t even rate him as a comedian prior to that encounter. I did after.....
@@petermills542 he moved in with her because his wife died of Cancer his mother was 95 when she died maybe he was her caregiver like you say he was in his 50's so obviously his mother would have been elderly and frail
Born in 1981 , I only discovered bernard through you tube a few years ago . What a funny , loving and wonderful man . Racist !? I think not ! Everyone regardless of race and religion were all welcome to his club . Yes he would take the piss , but that's called having a laugh in this country.

@@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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
He made us laugh, but now we just laugh at her.
And you knew about saville Esther,and how many other people knew at the BBC about saville Harris

Makes you wonder about all the others on this programme? Maybe they didn't get caught...….Yet!
You can't tar Manning with that brush. He'd have thumped child abusers.

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!

Imagine the fun he'd have had with the gullible sheep who bleat catchphrases like "scamdemic".

Amen brother!!
Cyril Smith and Stuart Hall. With hindsight perhaps not the 2 best contributors...
mts ts Eester Ransom kept quiet about bbc aswell
Bet you won't even remember writing your comment 3 years ago
Why won’t you say rantzen also? Because she’s a Jew and there not allowed to be criticised for there fucking actions?

Chidline founder Rantzen criticising Bernard. Yet she said NOTHING about Savile. Sickening.
They criticise Bernard but he brought people together with his humour and he was a faithful family man.
Bernard wouldn't even have to say anything to make me laugh...his face always makes me smile

Correct 💯
He's an absolute legend. Best stand-up comedian,....ever!
JUST BRILLIANT COMIC SHOULD BE IN ALL THE COUNTRY'S IN EVERY NATIONS HALLS OF FAME.
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.
god bless bernard and the rest, they paved the way for millionaire comedians today.
Esther is evil. She hides behind many ghosts in her closet...
She is an A***Hole...
8:45 one of Bernard's top 3 jokes and not a word spoken. Genius R.I.P
Nice seeing Bernard taking down Rantzen, what a cow.
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.

@@standalby6949 Honest to god I bet she was a “fixer” for the nonce

2:10 Yeah Esther, and you tried to use the audience to bully and shame Bernard, but you didn't have the skill to do it
Sour grapes!
Jesus, how are these people criticizing anyone, especially Bernard?
"What about the children?" 😳
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.
Poor Esther,,,,,hes using the Audience against me ,,,,,
Oh well THAT'S LIFE!!
lovely listening talking about his mum
Sadly missed he would love what's going on at his beloved MANCHESTER CITY
Absolute legend👏
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

Peter Kay must of heard of the Embassy club
Must admitt that was funny, when he said, " Jimmy Tarbuck got a fiver, he got overpaid."
Great man. X
A true legend I was born to late comics to day are not fit to lick his boots 😆😅👤👌
Simply the best.
I'll enjoy this.
Best ever! She became the laughing stock, because she is!
Fair few deviants on here, Rantzen included. Bernard was excellent.
Bernard was funny even Esther was laughing or trying not to .
Nobody around like Bernard anymore... I miss him - and this un-PC humour. Classic.
Class man and genuine
Ranzen is dark, disturbing... something dark about her. ...BM - not at all.
Yup. Rantzen. Good for you Mr Manning

Praise from Stuart Hall and Cyril Smith says it all 😮
Who the fck cares what Esther ransom thinks...BM was probably the best comedian ever, so good to watch
Ahhh Esther, the irony. You did such a good job with Childline helping to filter out allegations of abuse against establishment untouchables.
Bernard manning. LEGEND rest well good sir
I remember when Esther could eat a tomato through a tennis racket !
It was the best part of her act
How can anyone be a hero telling jokes? That’s a laugh indeed!
Liked the Man City one bring back these type of comics. Just to watch the reaction of those uptight correct folks.
likklej8. Unfortunately a great era that will never come again.
MIDDLETO < HEYWOOD ROCH MR MANNING WHY AM I CRYING ROLLER CITY lol
Why did no one raise a question about her husband who was in charge of bbc when saville was at it

Love how he called out rolf Harris wow what a man funny as fuck
