NEVER IN MY LIFE!

@Dave Goldspink l

oh dear. how sad. never mind....

SHADDAP !

He was the BEST Sgt Major I’ve ever seen since my Army Days,, there was never any offence meant, it was just the Army way.

Agreed till the miserable moaners who need a humour transplant wont allow things like this now

With you completely on that one. "What's soooo funny!" Lmao

It was an unfunny racist series.

Apparently, he based him off his own RSM from his days in the service.

That's so cool, I take it he wasn't anything like the character he played and that he was a genuine, down to earth guy?

@@raymofarrell19 He was an absolute gentleman.

@@raymofarrell19 that’s a sign of a really great actor that he could be such a loudmouth

I dont know why that;s funny. It just is.

Great comedy nothing like the shite we get nowadays.

Its a generation of whiners. Terrible.

You think one of the biggest problems is people being protected who don't realise that they need protecting? You obliviousy haven't been paying attention. You think that PC culture is one of the biggest problems in the world? If bigots didn't exist that PC culture wouldn't exist. I am a fan of neither. K. W. Churchill, do you understand what irony means? I will patronise you... you are whining about other people whining. Terrible.

The PC Brigade are basically white people who have a inner-guilt about something and lead shitty lives so the way they compensate for that is they go on a self-righteous crusade to defend ''the coloured people'' so they can be put on a pedestal and get some sort of recognition/approval by the other PC brigadiers as they lack it in real life, the majority of normal people dont like them. They are pathetic losers with no life. They are snakes in the Grass, they use minorities to further themselves.

@@leonreaper90 Absolutely.

*BSM (Battery Sergeant Major)

Allo Allo is another great example

Where have you been Gnr? Shut up, I miss being in the Royal Artillery 😂 🇬🇧

The lovely boys were the entertainers... though ironically he is an entertainer too but his character would hate you calling him that...

I mean, he took when he had from his own experience and made one memorable character

The Batman maybe he preferred to make people laugh that's why he stuck with comedy's

He was in Carry on Behind_ a serious piece of cinema vérité.

@@petergreen2552 And Carry On England - "Allow me to unnumb your bum, sir!"

Check him out in Grand Slam..

Go the whole hog Mog.

I don't have the box set yet but are there any fluff ups on it at all?

@@2490debrick There are no extras on the box set just every episode including a couple from the first series that had been lost although the picture quality of those 2 is not good they have been included for completeness.

@MichaelKingsfordGray Really, it is a sitcom that to be true to circumstances would be pointless.Vaguely depressing, true to circumstances.Here in AU not sure the widespread appeal, many simply have other things to do.

MichaelKingsfordGray What do you mean by your comment, in my opinion they were all great actors in that sitcom, and I was only paying my respect to the recent late great Windsor Davis.

MichaelKingsfordGray I couldn’t agree with you more Michael as my grammar is dreadful at times, I’m just hopeful that people understand enough what I’m trying to say. My strengths are else where I can promise you. I will be more aware of future bad grammar on my part. All that said can you at least agree that the character Windsor Davis played in that sitcom was very entertaining and his timing was spot on. 👍🏻

neil phillips Sadly everything has changed and not for the better, different sence of humour now.

has it fuck we are still the same old britain people just aint got the moxy to admit it

@Jonathon Roberts YOU SAD LOSER. THIS SHOW WAS BRILLIANT. THEY DON'T SHOW IT AUS. ANYMORE EITHER.

We used to be able to take the piss out of others as well. Not any more ...someone, somewhere will be offended by something. And we can't have that, now can we.

neil phillips unfortunately the pc brigade (immigrants from India) don’t like the way they were all those years back when! Well oh dear how sad never mind .... bloody punka wallers! 😂

It's a pity the BBC doesn't think the same as most of us, if they did they would repeat it instead of the 'new' unfunny comedies they are putting out.

In 'real' life he was suprisingly soft spocken and charming. Women melted around him (Lucky B****rd!)

"Oh dear - how sad - never mind" is the line I most remember of the Sargent Major.... rather than the more often quoted "lovely boy"

Indeed, it reminds me times when the world was still normal with a normal sense of humor. Glad I purchased the DVD box of the series last year so I can continue to enjoy his work even now he left us.

VERY SAD THAT DON COULDN'T FIND MUCH WORK AFTER THIS PERIOD, AND DIED SOON AFTER.

@@MrDaiseymay His was a very short career.

@@MrDaiseymay I think you'll find that, although never formally retiring from acting, he was a very accomplished jazzed musician and worked very consistently through New Zeeland and Australia..

I agree totally .....as long as you don’t mind a smack in the mouth if the receiving party finds it offensive !!!

You can tell people today, too, you a.... :) - See?

I was surprised to find out he was born in London to a Welsh Dad, (I suppose his Mum was English) . But they moved back to South Wales just as the war started when he was 9. So I suppose he lost his Cockney accent to fit in? R. I. P. Windsor Davis, from all the La De da lovely boy poofs. Fuck the P. C. clowns. These idiots couldn't find their own arse holes with a map and compass, their two hands and a large torch. They can't think for themselves. And that's the problem. They psychoanalysis even the silliest jokes and demonise the people telling them. Pricks.

Both his parents were Welsh.They returned to their home village of Nant y Moel at the start of WW2.

@Geraint Thomas Thanks I didn't know that. Did you know the Scottish guy played by Stuart McGuggin used to present Playschool?

@@ffotograffyddgohebwyr8308 Cheers.

No prob

fucking covered up for all the paedos dont forget

+Philip Croft For what it's worth - we can always keep the flag flying in our own little corner of the world. My kids were and still are brought up on a diet of great British comedy, documentaries, and dramas - and nowadays they are the envy of their PC friends, and then some. The modern Net and its sad, dismal, world of "cisgender" [what?!] and other such bizarre nonsense can't hold a candle... :D

NELL--that is correct, and I salute you. Trouble is, unless we are joined by a far greater 'band of brother's and sister's' the knowledge and awareness will fade away, unless of course , the pendulum of free expression swings our way again, as it has done over the centuries. NO government should have the power to decide what we and our families should watch. that is a parental decision, with obvious built in parameter's. Lastly, I suggest all those who appreciate the Great era of British comedy--SHARE WITH ALL THOSE YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS, AND LET THEM DELETE IF THEY WANT.

@@MrDaiseymay There are no apostrophes in the plurals brothers, sisters or parameters.

Philip Croft yeah. Now don't get me wrong I'm into Russell Howard and modern comedy, but I can understand what you're saying. It's amazing that shows like this don't get rerun because they might cause offense, but what about the endless slew of reality shows which show nudity and sex?

Not just very funny but a very accurate impersonation too, he was a great actor

Brilliant....

Yeah! That instant change in his voice always makes me laugh!😀

David Harrison great blokes great blokes. Are you having a laugh. My father told me that his sergeant major was the biggest cunt you’d ever come across. Great blokes 😂

@@vantheman1234 maybe, I bet they would have given their lives for your dad if needed. Like all humans good and bad everywhere.

@@vantheman1234 Sergeants aren't there to be nice and cuddly their there to make sure the privates are doing their jobs and to put the boot in when their not (Among other duties) My dad was a senior Sergeant in the British Army for years and he's one of the nicest guys you ever meet but if he was your NCO and you fucked up he make you wish you'd never been born. If a Sergeant isn't being called a cunt by at least some of his troops he isn't doing his job right doesn't mean that same guy you thought was a cunt wouldn't jump on a grenade for anyone in his unit maybe next time don't generalize everyone in a group cause you heard one guy was a cunt sometimes.

WO's?

@@michaelblower7363 Warrant Officers, so okay not NCOs but the same applies: they're the meat in the sandwich, day to day

A leg end? Or the best and longest Englishman, Irishman, scot, taf, anzac, heirarchical, gender and race wrong joke ever committed to film?

Love it. As older comedians might echo.

Echo...

O.

He played that role to perfection!

It's as bad in Australia as the UK now. We can't say, produce, or see anything which might offend some minority. These are not fun times. :(

+Andrew Francis scares me more that this pc nonsense isn't just isolated to here. There will be no sanctuary left in this world for the few of us left with some sanity 😕

THE--MOST MEMORABLE CHARACTER IN FILM OR TV

My Dad served in India in WW2 and said he was a spot on representation of a career army Sergeant he loved this show found it hilarious.He also loved Rab Nesbitt we sat howling of laughter at Rab, after it finished he turned in for the night got to the top of the stairs collapsed and died. Whilst very upsetting I can't think of a better way to go having spent 30 mins laughing your head off before you pass away.

Toracube it just wouldn’t have worked. He Embodied that character and made it legendary.

Fantastic, cheers

"Show some slack"? Never heard that expression before.

+Simon Atford have you not? Basically to cut something/someone some slack means to give them a chance.

Erm...you can get them on the BBC, KZfaq and Goggleplay

@@Johnno9989 Cut some slack I am very familiar with but not show some slack. The BBC could cut It Aint Half Hot Mum some slack and repeat perhaps with a warning about 1970s humour as they with some of the radio shows that repeated on 4Extra.

@Red Pilled Fox WTF? It ain't also called It Ain't Hot Mum too is it?

British Comedy!

oh forgive i'm, e's a furrener
