The old comedy by the best comedians and fit for family viewing
Пікірлер
Love this - not least because it was almost all filmed in my home borough of Barnes in London. We were all late for Primary school the day we spotted the film crew - would have been even later if they hadn't gently chased us away. Place has changed at lot since. Jimmy Edwards (the Policeman) also played Euphonium in the local Watneys Silver Band who'd give live summer concerts on the common. You've also got Eric Sykes, Tommy Cooper, Roy Castle, Kenny Lynch, Jimmy Tarbuck and Jim Dale just in this clip - see the whole thing. NB - the pub was a real-life one-room 'boozer' on the corner of Cleveland Road, the Police station was the old Library around the corner in Ellison Road. Tell you what, I'll shut up now.

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards It was released in 1967 (shamefully, had to look that up), so I'm guessing my memories of filming are from 1966. Always hazy on actual dates/years (I was around 8) but do remember we were in shirtsleeves, so wasn't winter.

I show this type of comedy to my wife, who is Bulgarian and she finds them hysterically funny. The good old days and it brings back memories for me too, all those cars and lorries, the clothing, houses road signs, police uniform (proper policing in those days).. Brilliant.
J'adore ! C'est bien fait et ça ne mange pas de pain ! Bravo !!!
Makes me proud to be English British.
When the poor cop wound up on that board, I laughed out loud!
I was a child when I saw "Das Brett" (in german) first. Now I'm retired and I found it in KZhead. The Plank is an Evergreen up for the next 100, 200......years. Thanks for uploading 🤣🤣🤣
Loved this when I saw it the first time,and still love it now.
I agree, what a crack up. Truly a good film!
Happy days with Jim Dale, Tommy Cooper, Barbara Windsor, Eric Sykes………… when Britain was great. Excellent viewing 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
What is the name of this show ?
Britain great then? Strikes, economy tanked with £50 spending limit abroad, taxes higher than income for many, utterly useless management, bolshy unions were utterly sexist (see Maid in Dagenham about Ford upholstery workers' strike and conflict with the union), all set for our industry to collapse against German and Japanese quality and efficiency, very corrupt police, viscous racism, and, in the background, the bomb, cold war, Vietnam. As children, we were mostly blissfully unaware and pop music was great but our parents had to cope with it
'Tis... bloody, dashing, brilliant, stupendous, wonderful...(words Americans never use).
This is on NOW talking pictures, sky Channel 328 R. I. P., Christopher Plummer 😔💕🇯🇲🏴🕊️✝️
One of the comedy master films. Pure genius!
Good old fashioned slapstick comedy. Love this old film
In truth this was a throwback to the slapstick days which hadn't been seen in roughly 30 years even back when this was made. So it's kind of a "new fashioned slapstick comedy" .
@@equestriangirly2296 good comment. And revived again in shows like "The play that went wrong" franchise
Very funny. Nerver seen this version before.
Hilarious thank you for sharing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it this is great well done well done well done I haven't laughed in months I really needed this
Quite amusing, dear chap. I had tears running down my legs.
British Humor Classic 👍🍀❤️
Outrageous funny Brithis humor.🤣😂🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇰🙏🌅😍
I remember running this in a cinema one time. The accompanying notes in the can said 'on dialogue', which I took to mean no audio. So I didn't switch the amps on, until someone came to complain there was no sound. "it's silent" I said, "look". I turned on the amps and, of course, there was sound. Just no dialogue. Doh!
The wounderfull Tommy cooper what great laughs i had as a youngster with Tommy on the tv in the 70s many thanks rest in peace Tom you were great
My aunt was set in the second row the night he died on stage every one thought it was a joke but the poor man was dying
One of my all time 'favs' so many 'stars'! Simple (very fuuny) comedy for multiple generations....
More , more , please ! Due to my ill health I need to laugh 😆. Thank you.
It's like watching Westminster.
I don't know how or why this showed up in my recommended feed, but I loved it!!!
Every time I watch, it is like the first time. I am still laughing. Thank you for posting.+
I truly loved this! Too funny! Thanks a lot for posting
I laughed so hard to the point i couldn't catch my breath and started freaking out coz i thought I was gonna literally die laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really ? It was so predictable and corny. And reading other comments about finding this funny makes me question their intelligence.
@@thinkof100 In its day, the 50s and 60s, this slap stick humour was funny. Today it is no longer, except amongst those who's memories are rekindled. It's not a matter of intelligence so insulting the taste of others is a bit arrogant, wouldn't you agree.
@@aeroplod No, I would not agree. If you think this is funny then there is something wrong with you. Taste or memories are irrelevant. You might smile looking back but it is not funny. Your a bit simple if you think it is.
@@thinkof100 As I don't get into conversations with anyone who is arrogant and self centred, bye bye.
@@aeroplod Bye bye stu_pid 😶
So many legends of comedy here ah.
One of the best sketches ever.
One of my favorites! Thanks
I have this on video tape, so happy to see it here, my Dad showed me this and we would both laugh a lot. It’s a brilliant piece of comedy.

What a gem! Bloody wonderful!
This is not only hilariously funny it’s also a social commentary of the times.
It's a social commentary on today's times as well...
British humour at it's best!
Gosh, I must be old. I knew nearly all these actors !
I've been looking for this video for a very long time! I remember this one when I was very young and watched the TV broadcast with my family. Beautiful and so funny! Thank you so much! ❤
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful
Naughty constable character laughing at the poor old gent, why not help him cross the road. Oh I felt so bad for the poor chap who ended in the bin van.
l love all these wonderful comedians, they were all so special, l enjoy the old comedys far more than the modern stuff.
me too. this was terrific!
An old British car lovers dream, sadly all of them now in the huge scrapyard in the sky!
My dad had an Anglia and Corsair in the 60s and 70s !! remember riding in them as a child !
Not all . Still have my MK1 1965 lotus Cortina. Rog. Pacific sunset records
Not seen that for years . great to see those actors and the cars
always makes me smile x
HISTORICAL almost Hysterical in So many different ways . GREAT VID
Ah, the good old days
Hello 👋 Janette🌸 How are you doing today ??
A fantastic film. I love the part where Roy Castle rises from the rubbish lorry.
Anything with the late great Tommy Cooper in is so special
Hence the expression,"As thick as two planks"
Look at those wonderfully empty streets!
Cars should be only available for the elite!
Those where the days.
Clean streets too and tidy gardens.

Great film got it on DVDs
Love. The. Old. Boots and shoes
Fantastic !!!
England lovely back then
Used to watch Eric Sykes with my father when I was younger. Happy time's
this was great. I'm glad I watched.
The British have produced the best comedians.
A classic!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
luved this great no frills humour
Isn't it simply brilliant. Xx🤣🤣
i believe that was actor John Junkin as the truck driver toward the end,who had once appeared with the Beatles in a Hard Days Night. sure looked like him. Also this stuff is very reminiscent of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton.
Good timing and complete daftness work every time for me.
Love 'THE PLANK" VERY GOOD bit of a giggle oops
Very funny this British comedy
That was really funny.
PLANK -YOU , ALOT ..🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Bloody brilliant!
Love it a blast from the past💓..
what a good film!!
In 1967 I was a UK bobby in Otley, Leeds and wore bicycle clips on my trousers ! I had forgotten about that.....Don't tell anyone...
Yup, I've had days like that too!
Is that a young David Warner in that Plank clip? Serious question at daft o clock sunday morning!???👏🤣🤣
@Steeple Jack ... Yup , mamma always told me there would be days like this ....
@@helenwaldron7542 no its not its a young Rolf Harris who happened to be Davids best friend at that time funny enough , they were so young back then , they were just two little boys who im told had two little toys ,i think each had a wooden horse , true story im led to believe ???
Loved this many happy memories.
what a good film
Ah remember those days of metal refuse bins? When the bin man would come up your drive, pick up and bring back the bin after emptying. So different nowadays.
Old is gold
Malthouse Passage 🤣🤣🤣
Love the cars
Just so funny 😂
One of the classics.
