It's No Joke Living In Barnsley - Brian Glover : Plus Bonus Footage
Рет қаралды 86,584
Күн бұрынOn Thursday 22nd September 2022 a blue plaque was installed and unveiled in commemoration of the former Barnsley actor Brian Glover.
The plaque was initially intended to be placed outside the civic theatre however another location had to be sought.
Therefore the entrance to Chennell's Bar on Wellington Street was chosen to house the plaque as this one of Brian's favourite Pubs as it featured back in 1976 when this documentary was made and televised.
It is entitled "It's No Joke Living In Barnsley" in which Brian eulogises about his hometown.
00:00 Intro - Barnsley Main Colliery & Barnsley Markets
04:54 Chennell's Bar

Great to see Charlie Williams in Chennells as well, wasn’t it? Charlie also was a proper Yorkshire lad who hated all that p.c. talk. He came under a lot of fire when he once said that people coming to live in the UK should fit in. It wasn’t what the luvviies thought should be in the script! 😂😂😂😂😂

About 20 years ago I was in Greenwich Village in New York and spotted a bar called The Slaughtered Lamb. I took it to be a homage to the film American Werewlf in London and went in to have a look. The first thing I saw as I walked in was a life sizes poster of Brian Glover in full blood curdling story attitude - it made my day.

Yes, I remember the old market as a young lad, being dragged around when 4 or 5, in wet, miserable northern weather. It could get cold back then as well, winters ranging from Oct/Nov to March/April, full-blooded winters. Everything was communal and busy and integrated. Now folk don't mix the same. Poor town centres. All off to their nearest Morrison's, and stay in for a movie and a bottle. Back then pubs and clubs were full 6 days a week in my town, and still busy on the 7th night, the quietest, which was Wednesday. Aye, they liked a pint or two in Barnsley.

That was wonderful. I miss Brian Glover. I saw him once come into a pub in Covent Garden in Jan 1987 and neck a short, leaving almost as quickly as he came in. I wish I had had the courage to speak to him but I was a young 20 year old photo student on a field trip to London for the day. Dennis Quilley also came in so it must have been "La Cage aux Folles" as Brian was also cast in it. Must have been the afternoon interval.

I enjoyed that. I knew a couple of people from Barnsley when I was a student and I have to say, I've never met nicer, more down-to-earth people than them. Is this common to people from Barnsley? Also, seeing Lara Rostron there in the ITV studio, reminded me of the time I saw her at the Durham Miners Gala. She just emerged from nowhere and looked right into my eyes...and I thought, wow... she's as beautiful in real life as she is before the camera.

A very controversial programme at the time. Some amongst the Barnsley public thought that Brian had deliberately portrayed the town in a bad light. But he hadn’t, he had just shown it in it’s true light. The only time he was harsh was when he mentioned Lundwood but he was brought up there and everyone knows it’s rundown. Always has been.

Barnsley was always ahead in things...even new hairstyles, and Rigger bags, out of your £26 quid a week for doing the haulage work darn pit. All my mates at 16/17 had a pair, almost touching their nipple ends, so perhaps there was some subconscious Freudian behaviour there, along with the tattoo displays on their arms, chests and back.
