@@jhome886 I found another video about Carol and Julie Andrews doing this same type of skit in 1962 with Roy Castle. Maybe that comment has to do with that video? This video has a longer song though.
What, ruining the tradition of acting being rough and ready? Or the centuries of women who go on stage being seen as disrespectable? Sounds like you're familiar with that attitude, actually.
This is something I've never seen in Maggie Smith--she's laughing and having a rip--roaring good time! I've seen some of her movies, as well as clips from others, and in those, she was never called upon to be so free and easy! It's just great to see! Perhaps this was because of Carol and the joy she radiated from her core!
"Tain't only the 'urdlin' 'n the 'oppin' over the 'igh edges what 'urts the 'orses 'ooves... It's the 'ammer 'ammer 'ammer on the 'ard iron road!" These two ladies are great!
Hate to say it, but when back in '75 when saw the show couldn't figure out what they were saying and wondered. Fast forward to 2022 still couldn't figure it out. Till now. Now that I see it written down and read it, I say "Ohhh, so that's what they were talking about! Now it makes sense!😂🤣 Thank You! And to think that Julie Andrews wrote in her book that they actually toned down the accent for the US and had to use a thicker in in the UK😲😯.Gee if I couldn't understand the very toned down one how would I understand the original accent in the UK?😲😯
She had done so much in her life so many of the young people don't know all her work take a look Maggie Smith was in many wonderful tv appearances and films 😢you like so so many have moved on to the greatest Stage of them all. Bless your gingerbread heart Dame Maggie Smith you will be remembered forever 🎃
Thanks for posting. I grew up in the 70s watching and loving Carol's show. So many great memories. Two class acts here. ah for the days when a network show had a full orchestra on hand for the music segments.
I keep watching this! As a child of the 80s, Dame Maggie has always been ' old' to me. She was old in sister Act and more so in Downton Abbey and it's totally wonderful to discover her in her younger says. These ladies are, what in thier 30s? Such a brilliant act, fab singing and very funny!! She kept her tongue- in -cheek witty comments into Downton Abbey too. They don't make fantastic shows like this, now. We have talk shows , but this one is rehursed, and brilliantly funny. Both ladies are a class act. It's one of my favourite 'go-to' RUclips videos!
A true gem I never knew existed until last week. I wish they'd done this on a Royal Variety show in London and shown on TV, it would have been a showstopper. Maggie did a few of these duets with Carol, but this is the best one for me.
I keep watching this thinking "oh I'll get bored of this soon" 100 views later...nope still amazing! Love these two women, such role models for young girls like me rather than some of the women today!
Yes, this is a terrific duet with one of the great natural charmers of British entertainment. I have to confess my bias, however, for her irresistibly adorable partner. Carol, you are the woman who must have been my true love in a former life. You are simply ravishing in every way.
Yeah, well that's what many would consider the "posh" accent, as many would generalise it. The enunciation and speech is very proper and clear. While Liverpudlian (Beatles) is Scouse, up north. "Cockney" is more derived from economic means. It was about being in Cheapside, the borough off the poorer side of London, and has connotations with working-class London.
I love this video!! My best friend and I have learned every part to this act and let me tell you it is quite funny to see us parading down the halls at school reciting random lines... ;)
Watch the episode where Ms Smith plays Bubbas' teacher.I use it as an example for my students to "HOLDING CHARACTER"....she never ever breaks.Maggie Smith, the master!
Mum asked me "does Maggie Smith ever pursue a singing career? Because she has a good voice, she can go along singing with Carol (which she consider who has a great voice ever). I mean, she can hit higher notes than that, she should've been a singer." Well, I quite agree!
Can't believe I've been on this planet 30 years and this is the first time I'm seeing this. Iconic!
my first time today!
In my case, fifty eight years!!! Jeeper!!!
"Julie Andrews will be livid " Lol can't stop laughing
That was hilarious :'D
modern translation "julie andrews? oh we dont know er!"
@@agen_dior or Julie Andrews is quaking
"Julie Andrews? Who's she?....Never heard of her... Don't you mean Audrey Hepburn be livid?"

Actresses like Maggie make being an actor a respectable and dignified profession.
You mean... She never posed naked??

@@annburlingham4563
That makes 1+173 of them(up to now)
Yep. Respectable and dignified. That's Maggie Smith and Carol Burnett doing "Take the A Train" in Cockney. Heh. 'Ave a noice dai, Guv.
0:33 sounded so Dowager Countess!
Maggie smith is positively beautiful. I just love her. she is my idol.
Same.
They look like they could be sisters. Two legends!!!
Rest in peace Dame Maggie, ❤
every second of this video is pure comedic genius
Absolutely love these two together 🥹 RIP Maggie, and thanks for everything

Crazy how we were able to live at the same time as Dame Maggie Smith. Rest in power ❤
Such classy performers - so sad that we never see anything close to this nowadays.
Aren't these ladies both still alive?
@@BuzziRus Thankfully they most certainly are!
@@michaelburling I see what you mean, we don't have such quality shows these days. This is the quality performance of a bygone era....
The proper golden years of entertainment.
Well, after all, we do have Marjorie Toilet Queen and Lauren Boob-alert.
"Tain't only the 'urdlin' 'n the 'oppin' over the 'igh edges what 'urts the 'orses 'ooves...

I'm going to miss her so much... 😢 She was my favourite actress and I've seen so many of her films. Rest in peace, Dame Maggie. ❤
They are both so sparkly. And RIP Maggie Smith.
RIP Maggie, one of the legends.
I have lost track of the number of times I've watched this! I love Maggie Smith even more now (if that's possible!)

"Julie Andrews with be livid!!"

I love their outfits. So nice to see pretty on stage.
Lovely. Can't stop watching.
Rest In Eternal Peace Dame Maggie Smith 💟🕯️🕊️

God love her. And now she's gone. What a treasure.
I remember seeing Maggie Smith as Mrs. Matlock in the Secret Garden when I was a little girl. Which was my first ever Maggie Smith movie.
i cannot believe we lost an absolute legend today RIP Dame Maggie Smith
At the beginning it was like hearing the Dowager Countess, only 40 years younger, sassily putting down anything and everything American. 😀😁😅😂🤣
Ain't Maggie just amazing!! Omg she's life!
A true gem I never knew existed until last week. I wish they'd done this on a Royal Variety show in London and shown on TV, it would have been a showstopper. Maggie did a few of these duets with Carol, but this is the best one for me.
2 beautiful women/actresses from completely different acting genres. Love it!!
why can't i have maggie's accent? she's far beyond perfect
Theses 70's comedy shows have a cultural compassion thats been lost, Maggie Smith is just a marvel to watch
Whoever wrote this gave them perfect material to shine, it’s joyous, bloomin’ marvellous!
Julie Andrews did this song some years before...
@@BuzziRusHA.. just found it. It was from Carol’s days on The Garry Moore Show:
ruclips.net/video/orX_LkwTLHE/видео.htmlsi=FCxz29hI1WLbhWJ9
Maggie is amazing!
I remember learning a cockney accent to learn "wouldn't it be loverly" one of the most fun accents to sing!
I keep watching this thinking "oh I'll get bored of this soon" 100 views later...nope still amazing! Love these two women, such role models for young girls like me rather than some of the women today!
Maggie Smith... you are a legend
I will love these women forever. They and so many others gave me my love of theatricality. ♥️ Rest Peacefully Dame Maggie Smith.
i just cant stop watching this!
Maggie Smith is really sassy, just putting that out there
F*ck you
That’s how she became a Dame, and won all her oscars
@@daisymay9203real
sass queen iconic
When she slips into her old mate Kenny's accent gets me every time
I love you Dame Maggie.. You truly are absolute perfection.
Was a legend still a legend. Dame Maggie Smith could never have enough of her.
MAGGIE SMITH GREAT TALENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maravillosa Maggie, te vamos a extrañar!!tu talento fué y será brillante y único, que tú Alma vuele alto, querida mujer!!! ❤❤❤
❤ Rest In peace Maggie Smith. You Legend! 😂❤
Yes, this is a terrific duet with one of the great natural charmers of British entertainment. I have to confess my bias, however, for her irresistibly adorable partner. Carol, you are the woman who must have been my true love in a former life. You are simply ravishing in every way.
I came here to see this since its entirety after seeing bits and pieces of it on Facebook reels.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Maggie for delighting us with your amazing spirit all these years!!! Happy Trails! We'll miss you!
Great women.
Will miss Dame Smith ❤
She will be missed dearly may she rest in peace 😢
I can't stop watching this. it's wonderful!!!!!!!!
What she called the ‘queen’s English’ sounded very like Kenneth Williams, who was a good friend of Maggie Smith’s.
Yeah, well that's what many would consider the "posh" accent, as many would generalise it. The enunciation and speech is very proper and clear.
While Liverpudlian (Beatles) is Scouse, up north.
"Cockney" is more derived from economic means. It was about being in Cheapside, the borough off the poorer side of London, and has connotations with working-class London.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
RIP :( wasn't she wonderful
Yes, Maggie was wonderful and so IS Carol. RIP Dame Maggie Smith and long live Carol Burnett!
Dame Maggie Smith we will miss you 😢😢!!
You can hear Kenneth Williams' influence on Maggie here. So lovely
Love these gals! too much fun :D

Thank you thank you thank you for uploading this! I absolutely love it! I can't believe I have never seen it before!!

Anyone else think that Carol and Maggie look like sisters here?
I am saddened by her loss

Missing Maggie already.
Brilliant!
