This wonderful series was running at the same time as You Rang Milord, The New Statesman, Blackadder IV, and only a year after Yes Prime Minister had finished. Then followed by Prime Suspect, The Darling Buds of May, Birds of a Feather, Keeping Up Appearances, Men Behaving Badly, Ab Fab, and so much more. Ah, the memories. The 1988-1993 period is likely the best five-year period in TV history (British OR American).

I didn't get where i am today by not being able to identify rare delights of English literature and i give you David Nobbs as a rare, unequalled Divine gift to English speaking mankind.

They should have invited Hyacinth and Richard Bucket, they would have been a riot. What a funny series. Enjoyed it immensely.

I love this when I was a teenager it was hilarious 🤣 sitting with Mum and Dad aww 🥰 😇😇. What a laugh we’d all have lovely to see it again ❤️

Mr Bidden, you have made me happy beyond measure in posting this video! A very young everybody; Sir David Jason, Gwen Taylor, the great Stephanie Cole, David Thewlis is fan-bloomin'-tastic too. I look forward to building my playlist, starting with this episode. THANK YOU.

What a joy to watch this fantastic series again. Brings back memories of watching with my Mum, loved the theme tune, one of those...you couldn't stop singing once in your head!

Superb. Nobody does it better than the Brits. And I discover series previously unknown to me all the time.

Another British tv good cast

I'm super-impressed with the quality of the audio on this, perfect.

A Bit of A Do, was excellent! Secrets come out, adultery, mean spirits, insecrtities all joined into one. Go sh, real life at its best!

Thank you for this. I loved watching this when I was little.

I loved, loved, LOVED this series as a kid. Made up to find it again

This suddenly popped in my head recently. So glad to see episodes uploaded! I remember watching this in my early teens. Made quite an impression on me 😊

I absolutely love this series and finally someone has uploaded it and with excellent sound and picture quality too. Thank you so much ♥️👍

I loved this when it was on. I bought the dvd box set a few years ago

Absolutely delighted to discover that I can now see this wonderfui series again!

Thank you, John. I can watch this over and over again.

“That’s what’s good about being old ya don’t have to give a bugger” .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

is anyone else watching this for david thewlis lol

This series was so good

This was on around my dad’s 39th birthday and I was 3, before Lindsay was born.

I can't believe I've stumbled on this!! Sooo enjoyed this series back in the day!!

I'm so glad I found this series ,tonight. I remember seeing it a few years ago and it is just as hilarious now as it was the first time I saw it ! I do wish we could see all the other episodes from the series in a regular format like this, I hope that they will be available soon. But I do want to thank you so much for airing this part of the series.

Classic wonderful series ❤️

Fabulous thank you so much for uploading this not seen it since it came out brand new loved it then and do now as well

Oh wonderful! I loved this series, thank you SO much for posting it!

Rip Nicola Pagett, so beautiful.

Great cast - so much talent.

Paul Chapman, playing Laurence Rodenhurst here, was a regular in the series, As Time Goes By, playing Stephen. He is a dentist in both series.

Thank you for posting this great show.

Rest in peace Nicola

This is fantastic British humour

Nite nite sweet dreams lovely Michael Jayston X

Watching from Durban South Africa. I have recently became fond of British comedy. More especially the old ones #imadurbaner

For some reason, seeing this reminded me of "A Very Peculiar Practice".

Thanks for sharing this. Really a shame programming has changed over the years.

Awesome. Like others I just stumbled on the series.

I bought this on VHS in the early 90s.

Inspector Frost and Peter Guillam!

This is soooo funny. Thank you!

Wonderful..tickity boo😂❤❤❤

Very entertaining:)).The dentist here was also playing a dentist in As Time Goes By...

Hilarious! Thank you!

Love this

Hi johnbidden72, do you have the rest of series one and series two, and if so could you upload?!!! Much appreciate what you have up already 👍

Adore this series!!!

This is a great series

Wonderful closing line!

This is so funny! It took me a few moments to recognize David Jason. Thank you for posting this.

david nobbs was a superior writer to say the least.a bit of a do is one of the best comedy/drama series ever made. i honestly did not know till about a year ago that david thewlis left after one series after being worried about being typecast.most actors around 25 years old < that he was at that time> would give their back teeth to be in something like this these days with such a great cast. in hindsight a rash move at the time but very like richard coyle who quit being jeff in coupling it worked out well in the long run.

Bloody hell, reminds me why I don’t like weddings. Spot on.

I miss being little 😢

With David Janson this young it must have been in the 70's or 80's. BTW, thank you for this very enjoyable series.

Oh, it’s Gwen Taylor from Heartbeat!

Thank you so much for posting...good ole days of tv

Jenny's Dad was also a dentist in As Time Goes By.

I love 💘this dodo much

Oh, Dear!

`Wow. We're seeing a lot more of Nicola Pagett on this show than we did when she played Elizabeth Bellamy on Upstairs Downstairs.

Michael Jayston ofcourse went on to play Raquel's dad and identify the Lesser Watch in Del Boys garage

yes Sir David Jason

Blanche and Noris before Corrie

David Jason is in everything

I see _Tinker Taylor's_ Peter Guillam...

David Jason at his best Here 🎉

The inside of the church looks exactly like the church from As Time Goes By.... Anyone agree?

I might because of this series that they didn't do a series of OFAH in 1989.

Thank you for posting this - is it possible for you to upload other episodes from this and the second season?

They are #SOoooo #GlancingAROUND !💁

its a real OFAH REUNION and David Thelwis was in the band ' a bunch of wallies'

Anybody else things bride looks like Sally Field?

3:45 the bald headed man is Jacko from Love Thy Neighbour.

Somewhat funny show, but the closed captioning didn't get half of the dialogue right. Can't imagine what a deaf person would make of the cockup.

LUPIN!

Was the actor who played Norris Cole in corrie in this program as a bar man in one of the series

loved it shame its so blurred

The scene with Nicola Pagett helped me tremendously during my teenage years. Those thighs!

I bet Gwen Taylor’s children or nieces/nephews aren’t cheeky little horrors. Or whatever her name is in the comedy.

💕💕💕🌴

#Hahahahaha to them it is getting at !💁 🙌🙌🙌🤷

Is that Professor Lupin?

Was this on ITV on Friday nights?

@22:50 Nicola Pagett in a basque with black stockings and suspenders. Wowwww.. this is every red-blooded males dream.

Does this feature Dave?

Stay woke Remus Lupin!

that was fascinating if you consider the social messages it was normalising. reminds me of boys from the back water.

Such dismay at the prospect of a grandchild seems anomalous to me.

ook😎

David thewlis

4 Nicola Paget ♥❤

26:32 Victoria Wood walking past camera in peach satin bridesmaid dress.

Dierdre from corries mum,.

So in other worlds avoid tuna fish that will please the vegans

Gawd, weddings sure are awful. Nobbs is brilliant though.

Long live King Charles III 🌹

Isn't that the detective guy? Can't think of the name of the series.

I keep waiting for this to be funny or even enjoyable.

Love it when people say the wrong thing and put there foot in it . Always a comman thing people tend to do at these kind of functions

21:50

The actor..the groom Makes me skin crawl. In any role.
