Thank God for you tube. A great escape from the 21st century. Arthur askey. Will hay. Mooremariott. Graham Moffett. Gordon harker. Great stuff. I dont think that anyone should leave this mortal coil the way Arthur askey did. Very tragic very sad. 😔
Well, Arthur Askey what an old film. Still, nice to see this old stuff, makes us nostalgic and all that. I recognised several of the actors from other films of this time = Will Hay's usual cast. Interesting how that once he got to Scotland no one else spoke with a Scottish accent - I wonder why?...
13:31 "And that's the bed. Ahhh, it's a grand bed! You know, my wife, my wife's mother, aye and my wife's grandmother, they all died in that bed." Kills me everytime do this day lol.
Had its moments though not as good as Ghost Train but better than Band Waggon but nice dedication at the end which I could not imagine now as patriotism has become a dirty word.
The last "pip" was the exact time; the first pip might be mistaken for the latter, which might be important in celestial navigation for instance. Arthur Askey seemed a lovely man; I remember him from my childhood in the 50s. ☘
This is really a good movie 🎥👌, but while England was in the middle of ww2, how did they get fund's or time to make movies. England 🇬🇧 was bombarded on a daily basis by the SS Germany 🇩🇪. It just doesn't make any sense.
Morale. If you're at war, going to the cinema was a welcome distraction. It also retains an element of normality. It also reinforces that people must be vigilant against 5th columnists.

@@johnconlon9652 Thank God that you have breath in your lungs. Thank God He doesn't treat you the way that you or I deserve.
The old classic b/w films are the best in good old days.
Enjoyable English film. Arthur Askey was a pure delight.
I’m 40 on Friday I used to watch this and his other films with my dad, thanks for the memories
Can't imagine never having seen this wonderful film! I loved Arthur Askey in "The Ghost Train".
Tommy Gander, yep great film
Have a watch of I Thank You and The Love Match both absolute classics

Thank you !
i like how he takes his bike to a lighthouse
and his golf clubs too , aye !
Askey reminds me (in looks & action) of Harold Lloyd. Anybody else?
I only remember Arthur Askey from his later years. When he was a judge on New Faces.
This guy looks like my old boss at Olga’s kitchen, downtown Dan Meconis…
Love this movie and The Ghost Train sure was sad to learn Arthur lost both his legs as a older man, never did find out why???
Later in life he had poor circulation, which lead to Gangrene then he had to have his legs amputated. But he died 4 months after. Very sad!
@@bethpeverleyThank you for letting me know. So sad. Blessings from Belfast.
I cried because I had no shoes….until I saw a boy wit no feet 😺

Brilliant
Askey's last comedy with Moore Marriott and Graham Moffat. Afterwards, the quality really declined.
so does that means he stuck in the backrooms forever?
Whgy is it stretched to widescreen?
Watching 2024
If you're relying on cc'ing for this movie, you're as lost as I am. Too bad; I understand it is quite funny. (Sigh...)
When was the last pip turned into a long one ? Or was that just heard on The World Service ? (The Wild Service)
The pips were changed, although I forget when. Perhaps when they changed the station names in Sept 67?
1971
@@DigitalCreations2012 thank you.

@@johnconlon9652 right but here each pip is the same. I wanted to know when the last pip was changed to be longer pip.

Lovely film- but every few minutes assaulted by 21st century FILTH!! (APPS!!!!).
Seriously Arthur askey was about as funny as dry for in a wooden leg.
