A time when people were decent and honest and upright. What a charming lady. If this lady had kids and grandchildren, be so proud of this lovely lady....
I never get fed up of watching this no nonsense landlady but can tell that she had a heart of gold. Probably looking down from the heavens. RIP lovely lady and thank you for putting smiles on all of our faces . I never saw this episode of Candid Camera and thank the person who downloaded for us too watch & enjoy .
Glad you enjoyed it. Just to say that I’ve recently got hold of a lot of very rare uk candid camera pranks from 1974. They will be released weekly for the next few months. The first one is here 🎥 ruclips.net/video/0wkRLAO7-NA/видео.html
How could anyone give a thumbs down to a classic video of this calibre? I wish there were a lot more Mrs Joyce's around today, the world would be a better place.
@Cockand Ball Yep. That's true. Ever decreasing levels of privacy. Constant rules that now have to be followed. An increasingly woke world where we tip toe around issues and keep silent for fear of cancel culture. A dying NHS. Crap films. Even worse music. Small businesses going under. A totally untrustworthy, deceitful and hypocritical Government. Have I missed anything? And yeah, after 13 years I'm still alive.
I DO go back in time by watching all these brilliant youtube videos that take me back to the days when life was so sweet and innocent. Honestly I sometimes get a deep yearning for the 60's, so deep that it hurts that I know they can never be repeated....except watching these youtube gems that make me happy to remember those days and sad that they have disappeared forever.
I was not even born at this time, but wow, people were so good back then!! I've noticed how different things are now to how they were. Like a different world.....
This prank probably goes into lots of peoples top ten. It got me laughing quite a bit when the lady said "Give the gentleman back his money" Getting angrier each time.
"I've never heard of anything like it in all my life" lol that's exactly what my nan used to say lol I'm sure if she could come back in todays ridiculous society, she would be saying it every single day. Lovely genuine decent lady on this video though as was my lovely nan.
Ah what a lovely lady! Not one expletive spoken either. The days when people could conduct themselves in a civil manner whilst still annoyed and under pressure.
Ha ha ha, have you predicted the future with the teenage mothers nowadays? They can’t even string a sentence together without a few expletives, let alone hold a conversation without one 😂😂❤️🙏🏽
This has got to be one of the Candid Camera classics of all time. I've lost count how many times I've watched it and yet I enjoy it more and more each time.
You know, watching this again, and watching something made well before I was born, you can tell people back then were better people. obviously not everyone, but the majority. Better manners, and more honest and had good morals
why were they the best days? Thatcher at the helm, rubbish piled up on the streets, shit cars that always broke down, no central heating, racism and homophobia at levels that would not be accepted in todays society? Yeah, the good old fucking days
Don't miss the racism, the football hooligans, the strikes, streets full of rubbish, the electricity going off at ten o'clock, jimmy savile, the violent police.
She would have grown up through tough times and won't take nonsense from anyone. I'm guessing she was in her mid 50s to early 60s meaning she must have been born in the 1910s or 1920s and so she was old enough to remember the war which undoubtedly made her the resilient woman she was by this point.
I've just watched again this lovely landlady and how she kept her cool is beyond me. Did this ever get put onto a compilation dvd ..of best bits ? I'm probably guessing not. Has Mrs Joyce any family ? We need more people like her who don't use bad language , very professional and deserves an award . RIP and thank you all involved in that classic Candid Camera 📷 archive footage .
These are priceless, real social history of what real people were like back then, she was lovely but not unique, most (not all) but most people were as honest and decent as her. Filmed when the working class had two things they don't have anymore, work or class.
0:25: This is a key part of how this prank works so well. Mrs Joyce recognises Arthur Atkins, but her mind suggests to her it is because he has stayed before - not that she has watched him on TV.
Jacoby Phoenix I don't agree, the price today would be considerably more, if you take into account that the average price for a B&B is between 60 to 80 pounds.
"He doesn't belong here", "I'll ring the police", "What on earth are you thinking about paying 5 pound for one night ?" Three of the best lines ever on CC
Sounds just like my nan, she was a Lancashire lass with a B&B. This lady sounds like she is also from Accrington. And I agree, they knew how to get mad but stay cool in them days 🙂
God bless her what a lovely person sadly no longer with us , I grew up in London in the 50s and 60s and there were lots of lovely genuine men and women with hearts of gold that would give you their last penny , sadly the uk has now been turned into a hell hole by the failures of succesive governments, RIP UK gone for ever but not forgotten .
I agree, it was a very different world back then. I was very young when this would have been filmed but I recognise elements here that I remember from my childhood. People were a lot more innocent in hidden camera pranks shown here. I'm glad this lady was a good sport and that people can still enjoy her reaction here 45 years later :-)
G Cook from the Blair government onwards ALL those in power have encouraged vast numbers of immigrants to our nation often without a job to come to and leap frogging the housing wait lists.All this has rapidly destroyed our British heritage and way of life. The real decline started in the early 90s and is continuing at a much faster rate.What was once largely peaceful towns and areas of our country are now hot beds of criminality and violence that has coincided with the vast numbers of immigrants often with no background checks that are still flooding into our already extremely over crowded nation.
If Mrs Joyce would have rung the police it was guaranteed that they would have arrived and arrested that man. Not like today’s police who can’t be arsed with just about anything these days
A different, and sadly forever gone, age - when, in relation to things like this (dealings with others, community spirit, manners etc) the country was a better place.
He cheated her and she still referred to him as a gentleman at 5:51. LOL. And that kiss on the cheek and hug at the end, he would've been sued nowadays.

Correct
spot on brilliant it was 5 pounds lol
Because it's terrible.
Yes, a lovely English lady. We had neighbours like her growing up in the 60s and 70s.
Very funny clip. That lady is the salt of the earth. That generation will never be replaced.
No they won't be replaced, I miss my aunts and uncles and Grandma seemingly more as time goes on, it was a different era, a different way of life.
It certainly was - it used to be amazing. I sometimes feel like crying for what we have lost.

I remember this prank the first time it was on tv. Arthur Atkins was brilliant as the rogue " sub landlord" Thanks for uploading.
Priceless! I was in tears laughing at this. Bless her, she was hilarious
This really has to be one of the best Candid Cameras ever.....
I wish we could go back in time
Andi Bliss 9 years comment! But yes I feel the same!

@@qed456 Yes, really agree, and is fast getting worse
what a lovely traditional classy lady.
I'm an American and love this type of Englishness. Wonderful lady
This prank probably goes into lots of peoples top ten. It got me laughing quite a bit when the lady said "Give the gentleman back his money" Getting angrier each time.
Very touching how concerned she was about the stranger's five pounds.
Exactly. Even though she was being taken advantage of, her main concern was for the stranger. They were the good old days, really.
Bless Mrs Joyce. What and angel she was.
Very funny. A more innocent time back then in the mid 70's.
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
+Coecludd I also enjoyed it thanks. In fact I must have watched this about 15 times since I came across it. So funny. Thanks for sharing
+billy porter Thanks Billy - glad you enjoyed repeated viewing :-)
@@coecludd Thanks for sharing.
That gentleman this gentleman. The days of chivalry.
The days of manners.
What a wonderful woman. She has a rock solid sense of decency and dignified comportment. The salt of the earth.
"I've never heard of anything like it in all my life" lol that's exactly what my nan used to say lol I'm sure if she could come back in todays ridiculous society, she would be saying it every single day. Lovely genuine decent lady on this video though as was my lovely nan.
Haha, other extinct exclamations include "Well blow me" meaning blow me down with a feather, not what it means today!
spot on
The landlady repeated twice what she had said before & never lied even a single word. Wow, she is so honest.
And she didn't take the 5 pounds off the gentlemen herself. So she couldn't be accused of theft . She made him give it the other gentleman .
and never used course language
Ah what a lovely lady! Not one expletive spoken either. The days when people could conduct themselves in a civil manner whilst still annoyed and under pressure.
Yeah but she was open to the young 1 but closed to the old 1! Working lady sir
Ha ha ha, have you predicted the future with the teenage mothers nowadays?
They can’t even string a sentence together without a few expletives, let alone hold a conversation without one 😂😂❤️🙏🏽
@schchen2000 she did give him back his £2 that old lady is to respectful to be a thief god bless her
Lovely lady - all ladies who ran B&B's in the 70's seemed to be like Mrs. Joyce! Scene brilliantly played by Arthur Atkins!
He never broke character
candid camera at its best good old days of england
for a moment I thought the room was £180.00, I couldn't fathom £1.80!
I'm 76 now but I wouldn't like to start over again our generation had it the best of all.What a lovely lady just like my mother.
My goodness! It’s like sweet music to my ears how eloquent and fluent those folks of old spoke.
Er...you mean 'eloquently and fluently'. Verbs take adverbs, not adjectives.
Good,lovely woman.Makes me believe in the human race again,god bless her.
It was filmed in 1974. I thought she was a really great lady :-)
Shel owned that house until 1997 and the door was still the same until 2019.
Where abouts was the house in Bournemouth Damien...?...I would love to look it up on Streetview!!
This has got to be one of the Candid Camera classics of all time. I've lost count how many times I've watched it and yet I enjoy it more and more each time.
So have I, Si.
This is brilliant, so honest and down to earth no bad language. And when he says she will give you the key her face.
This lovely lady deserves an award.

Her face at the end is priceless.....what a dear lady.
We did not know it, but these were the Best Day's,, Long Gone,, But not Forgotten,, thanks foe all these Great Times, and Video's. Here in 2019:)
why were they the best days? Thatcher at the helm, rubbish piled up on the streets, shit cars that always broke down, no central heating, racism and homophobia at levels that would not be accepted in todays society? Yeah, the good old fucking days
Life was so different back in the 70s god i miss it
Don't miss the racism, the football hooligans, the strikes, streets full of rubbish, the electricity going off at ten o'clock, jimmy savile, the violent police.
I agree with you, much better times back then.
There was law and order and respect society now as crumbled
When she said 180, I thought one hundred and eighty thats expensive, but it was only one pound eighty pence, canny difference
She is such a lovely person.
RIP too Mrs Joyce ... landlady's like her are hard too find ❤❤😢😢
"Get off!"
I love her smile at the end.
“I bet you did, you go away!” 😂
Landlady is a star 🌟
Brave girl 👧
🌹 🙂
She would have grown up through tough times and won't take nonsense from anyone. I'm guessing she was in her mid 50s to early 60s meaning she must have been born in the 1910s or 1920s and so she was old enough to remember the war which undoubtedly made her the resilient woman she was by this point.
Love the way she kept recalling the story 😂
She was so flustered and nervous. I would have been too.

She appeared on the 5th Candid Camera video (released in the mid 80’s) out of 5. Mrs Joyce was a lovely lady which I’m glad features here.
"smile, you're on candid camera, smile, you're the star of the show"......we loved this in the 70's
I love ❤️ this video love how she telling all neighbours 😂
Pure sweet class... thankyou
Bless her, that poor lady. Back in the days when there were honest people about.
These are priceless, real social history of what real people were like back then, she was lovely but not unique, most (not all) but most people were as honest and decent as her. Filmed when the working class had two things they don't have anymore, work or class.

Back when landladies were authentically tough !
0:25: This is a key part of how this prank works so well. Mrs Joyce recognises Arthur Atkins, but her mind suggests to her it is because he has stayed before - not that she has watched him on TV.
Exactly. That’s what makes is so good 😊
£1.80 for a room. Blimey!
teviottilehurst That's about £16 in today's money. £5 is about £45 - no wonder she was horrified!

pachma more money than sense, £1.80 and not a two Bob note more
Good old days
THE GOOD OLD DAYS How things have changed :
AMANDA BARNES that wprld will never come back , the world is different now and people are different ! im glad i enjoyed the 70's
People back then were so honest, polite and pleasant
No they were not. It just appeared that way.
+ Christopher Hannaford ... Yes they were, well most of them anyways.
Dear Christopher: 99 percent, at least, *"Old England,"* the heartland of British dignity, decorum, and etiquette.
I wish it were so today
Nonsense - they were racist, homophobic, sexist , paedophilic, bigots in the 1970’s .....May it rest in peace
I love this lady’s accent and speech.
What a brilliant lady Mrs joyce is best of british
Bed and breakfast for the price of a cup of coffee these days
'Get off... you. I'll fetch the police to ya!'
In the days when the police would actually turn up!!
Sadly, so very true....
back when british people were polite. i believe we lost our manners in the 1970s, judging by what i've seen from these videos.
This was before my time, but I used to love Beadle's About and that used to be full of bleeps to cover profanity, so I think you must be right!
Wonderful days with very little blasphemy on TV - and none of the language we hear on the streets today.
Fantastic wish we had more programs like that now
1974 a great year in time, truly. I was there.
I agree
"He doesn't belong here",
"I'll ring the police",
"What on earth are you thinking about paying 5 pound for one night ?"
