It really does capture something of how the fabulous inhabitants of 1970s television took up residence in our heads and coexisted somehow against an everyday reality that could not be more mundane. It is different now. Nowadays it is all spectacle and the internet wraps around every aspect of our lives. Then, the TV was like a little portal into the Fantastic. It is hard to convey, somehow, to those who did not live through it.
I'd have loved to have been in the production meeting for this! "Right. What's the synopsis?" "Well... It's a bunch of pissed up 70s wrestlers trying to get home on the night bus." "What's the plot?" "That's it, mate..." 😂😂😂
Marvellous stuff! First time I have seen this and it made me grin from ear to ear. Also, passing through Croydon was a nice touch, watched many a wrestling event at the Fairfield Halls growing up in the 90's and 2000's...
It feels likeI just revealed a hidden gem :) Fantastic humour, edit and direction. I really like the CCTV scenes as a running gag throughout your work.
I think we have Big Daddy, Gorgeous George and Kendo Nagasaki, Rollerball Rocco, an early Dynamite Kid, Mick McManus and Giant Haystacks, Klondike Kate with Dave Fit Finlay and Princess Paula with Adrian Street and Linda and lastly Les Kellet in the phone box 😮💨 don’t know who he’s fighting though🤔. Great film.
seeing the list of the fallen brings back so many Saturday early afternoon memories and Wednesday nights down the assembly hall , grapple on and have a good week tiiiiiiiilll next week grappling fans
Cheers for these mate, never even heard of em and they’re all brilliant. This has got like a weird Warriors Pisa take to it and I love it. Youre a top bloke!
Its a group of three shorts released on DVD in mid 2000's; the others are on RUclips - Ant Muzak (Adam & The Ants go shopping) and Blake's 7 Junction (Blake's 7 at a motorway service station). Mackenzie Crook is in all 3... great stuff
Lol I've not seen these skits for years! I've actually got them all on a DVD (this, Ant Muzak and Blakes Junction 7) and I've always remembered them quite fondly. I think this one was probably my favourite of the 3.
I love you like a brother Badger! Why? Well I had never heard of Blake's Junction 7, and now I am twice the man I was twenty minutes ago... Thank you! 👍🇬🇧
Saturday afternoons with Kent Walton and me mum (Mr Walton on the TV and me mum on the settee with me) dunking Rich Teas in our rosy leas. Now have to watch AEW (free) three times each week. I blame me mum.

Fantastic, amazing job by the boy Crook especially 😂
What a brilliant comment.
As I've never seen any of these before, they're like hidden comedy gospels! Superb! Thank you!
Init. Great stuff
One was in the office and Pirates of the Caribbean

😂😂😂
Always good to see The Actor Kevin Eldon
and Gareth Keenan and Neil Godwin..
I hope you enjoyed your weak lemon drink.
He was in I'm Alan Partridge series 1.. 'I live in Acton,. Few too many blacks!!'.. Haha 😅
@reilly-vc1rm is Chris Marshall playing the dynamite kid because it says in the credits he’s playing the kid?
Marvellous stuff! First time I have seen this and it made me grin from ear to ear. Also, passing through Croydon was a nice touch, watched many a wrestling event at the Fairfield Halls growing up in the 90's and 2000's...
Ive just found this and I wasn't even looking. What a little jem, thanks.
Same with me just today 🤣
Love it! Believe it or not I met Giant Haystack's grandson by chance at Secret Garden Party last year!
Was he a little pile of hay 🤷♂️
@@Man_fay_the_Bru hah!
Not much of a secret now is it?
Martin Ruane was a gent outside of the ring..
@@deletebilderberg SHHHHH!
So clever!!! Love the surreal concept...right up my Adrian Street!!!
Here thanks to a random comment/suggestion in a WrestlemePod episode. Lovely stuff
Comedy gold m, as someone who remembers watching the wrestling on a saturday afternoon with my dad brings back fond memories....😊

Absolutely brilliant.
I met Big Daddy once - he was miserable! Never said a word, just grunting. 😂 This is comedy gold - & so many famous comedy stars.
How long ago, he dead for year's
1993.
He died in 1997, so it's got to be 27 years.
Comedy gold, thanks for posting.😂😎👌🇬🇧🏆
It's great to see Sam Smith wear something slightly less outlandish. I can only assume his leotard says "Big D" as a request.
Not a wrestling fan but this popped up on my RUclips and it cheered me up!!! 👍🏻🤣 So random and I love it!
Glorious! Many thanks for posting.

The shorts I mean- the actors are all favourites of course
Mr Kendos Welsh accent! Whole skit is weirdness but brilliant ;-)
Brilliant stuff
Where is this from?
Or when?

Absolute class
From 2007 and I'm only just seeing this NOW?
And when is London ever that quiet at night?
Looks like it was filmed during lockdown.
By accident I'm here... brilliant
Wow, I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Is that Big Daddy?". That was damn entertaining.
Love it, what a little gem
Ask him ref ! Ask him ! , brilliant stuff made with love by the look of it
I remember when Kendo Nagasaki was unmasked by Big Daddy and Kendo had a bald head with a pony tail and he wasn’t happy hahah
This is absolutely genius! Need Dickie Davies there somewhere 😂😂
Well this was an absolute fucking joy
Wow that is perfect!
Thanks, great!
Pure GOLD ❤
Brilliant, but where was Les Kellet?
Just when the light was getting dimmer 🎉😂❤

@@nigelcarren is Chris Marshall playing the dynamite kid?
Clock work orange scene at the beginning is great. The guy even lays in the same position as the tramp who got beat.
Haha bloody hell Saturday afternoons with Dicky Davis … Big Daddy, Kendo Nagasaki… can’t remember who the others were
Funny,I met most of those people
What year is this film set in?
Brilliant 😊

Where’s Tim Plesster?
In the taxi office looking at nudy mags.
Saturday afternoons with Kent Walton and me mum (Mr Walton on the TV and me mum on the settee with me) dunking Rich Teas in our rosy leas. Now have to watch AEW (free) three times each week. I blame me mum.

Idris Elba as "Iron Fist" Clive Myers woulda finished this off to a T.
Who is Chris Marshall playing? Who is the kid? Is he going to be the dynamite kid?
*just another ride home on the bus*
