Lol this was made in 2001 good old Harry Enfield comedian can't believe some think this was made in the 1930s

surprisingly accurate

I laughed so hard at the "My computer has crashed again" part!

Great skit. You guys are SOOO funny.

I might be interested in expanding the idea of having a section of the city called, "The Splendid Zone."

0:50 At first I went "oh they dropped the ball on that one". Then they showed the rest of the woman's body........and I fell out laughing!

I can't wait for the year 2000, so I can have one of those new fangled computer thingies. Awww, it's gonna be so good :) .

There should be TV shows like these nows

On an excellent show, I always looked forward to these skits the most

The reason they're talking about 2001 and getting it so accurate is because this episode was made and aired in 2001. It's a spoof! For those who STILL don't understand: British railway privatisation happened in the 1990s and hasn't been 100% successful. The portable gramophone is poking fun at the Sony Discman and other portable CD players that were popular around the millennium. "The Enormous Turkey" is poking fun at the Millennium Dome because "turkey" is British slang for a loser or something completely useless/pointless. "Jollity" is obviously Ecstacy.

Love it when he says "My computer crashed" when if fell to the floor! lol

This show was surpisingly accurate and pretty funny too!

God I've been looking for this one for ages, thanks for the upload.

private railways and 'on time' women's body display and 'piercing' the brooch music on run computers in every home women's politicians surprisingly accurate

I can't believe some posters don't realize this is satire....

Congratulations, it's great! Some people even thought it is an old film.

I'm really looking forward to the year 2000! It sounds exciting, and that will be swell!

Some commenters didn't realize how this video was made (quite) recently. Poor chaps.

i laughed at the computer crashes part

2000 would have been the perfect year for people with OCD.

Harry Enfield was A GENIUS !!! An COMEDIC GENIUS !!!!!

I can not believe people think this was really made in the 1930s!!!

Its accurate because it's a recent comedy TV programme from the BBC

This is absolutely hilarious. The comments about the trains specifically... it's unlikely that anyone outside of the UK will get the joke.

Absolutely spot on predictions.the massive turkey is a must to visit

i remember watching this! harry enfield got it so very very accurate didnt he mr chumblywarner! brilliant comedy!

OMG HOW FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome and I am so glad I stumbled across this!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can tell by the idiocy that this was made not so long ago

They Predicted the future.

"portable Gramophone-Men" LOL!

2:15 has to be the funniest part. Had to watch it 5 times because it made so much sense XD "my computer just crashed again" lol!

It may be fake, but they nailed the look and feel of a 50's PSA dead-on!

Wow! this may have been a joke but they sure were spot on for the most part: (navel piercings, cd's, iPods, pc/mac, female politicians, prescription drugs)

Exceedingly clever - I laughed so much! Eh, Brit's humor always great!

Yep, gotta love dat brit humor~ Sometimes they do it right, other times they do it horribly

Thats a cool skit, never heard of them I'll have to search for more!

Since the begin of the video I could tell that this is not actually from the 1930s, don't ask me why. It just have the feeling on it, idk.

The jewelry in the midriff part is actually on point! LOL

I didn't know the word "computer crashed" had already existed before, so mind blowing!

loll the crop top 😂😂

I laughed out loud. GOD I love British humor!

Love the portable record player

They were very close to what we had in 2000

Portable, hand carried music players(ipods) and personal home computers, these predictions are amazingly accurate!

They were right with the advent of the horrendous and visible gunt.

In November 1998 a survey found that 73% of people said that they were not planning to celebrate anything more than a normal new year's day on 1st January 2000 ... most of the remaining 27% were Catholics - for them the year 2000 was a Jubilee Year, the last year of the 2nd Millennium. On January 1st 2000 huge celebrations occurred throughout the world with most people believing it was the first day of the 3rd Millennium, the first day of the 21st century.

Can't believe this is 20 years ago...I saw this in the flipping 90s...

Just going to take some Jollity. AND HAVE IT LARGE! Great post!

Congratulations to all you Americans who realised, really quite quickly for Americans that this film was a satirical British entertainment from the 1990s and not a remarkably prescient documentary piece from the 1930s.

Got me there for a second.

Wow. How funny to look back at these ole time movies and laugh at what people from that time period thought the future would be like.

Actually, a guy by name of Philo T. Farnsworth, from Utah, had first working TV in 20's, from idea he had in 1916.Sarnoff(head of RCA), and his lawyers, fought issue, but eventually Farnsworth was credited with original idea but received virtually nothing.AC power was project of George Westinghouse in late 1800's, long predating Tesla.

holy crap!! they predicted the mp3 players and Internet accurately!!!

This video is not really made in the 30s, is it?

WOW this was spot on! the walkman! the drug addicts! the computer in every home! discs that can fit on your hands! Women's movement, women working high end jobs! EVEN THE JEWELRY ON THEIR BELLIES! this shit was spot on!

The part where the guys says, "My computer just crashed." Amazing! We say the same thing today. How did they know we would?

They were on the right track with the belly button jewelry and 'Portable Gramophone Records.'

They pretty much got the future correct

That was a deliberate joke. Mr Chalmondley and Mr Warner think they can do an Australian accent but actually sound like they are from Birmigham.

They were so right about every household having a computer and women being in leadership positions and grammaphone records being so small that you can hold them in the palm of your hands.

Harry is reading the News Chronicle, which in reality was gobbled up by the Daily Mail in 1960.

Just the laughter and the comedy timing gives it away in just a few seconds. Can't believe some people actually believe this....And i mean that...............if you can't figure that out by yourself, there is really something wrong with you.

clever & amusing thanks ,

I thought it was odd that they did this was looked at such an accurate rate and with decent audio for 198

Lol computer crashing...... xD

The splendid zone looks... Splendid

Wonderful comedy. Harry was one of those rare talents, that broke new comic ground. But sadly, what it does, is show what crap we have to put up with now. I wish he would reintroduce these very funny characters again--my favourites.

ahh, the brits love of silliness is in full force here!

these are just too good 🤣 ahead of its time to say the least

Wow! They nailed it!

Thanks. I wondered, since it seems so weirdly accurate. It is hilarious, though. A giant tupperware bowl!

Prediction game strong

America has only existed for a fraction of the time that notable authors have been making biting satires. Jonathan Swift was one of the greatest satirists of all time and was writing before the Revolution even occurred.

"It's called Jollity. Suddenly, I feel an enormous compulsion coming on to have it LAAAARGE!"

"All the trains run on time as usual" An average day in Seattle, WA in the year 2017 "Passenger trains will be delayed today again. Sound Transportation citing freight traffic as the cause"

I recognised the guy on the right at the beginning and realised that it was made recently lmao

woah...spot on!!!

Year 2000: Windows 2000

I'm American and knew it was comedy right away. I just shake my head at anyone who took/takes this seriously.

Nothing ever disappears. In some highly guarded, dark, obscure archive somewhere, all the Tesla stuff is there.It still begs the question, as I'm typing on a device, whose technology was unimaginable a generation ago, what things did Tesla discover over 70 years ago that still hold such a need for secrecy?

the uk really was that huge on the map in days of empire

///Holy crap, they were pretty spot on///

love it !!!

LISTEN THIS SONG ON YOU TUBE... LIBERDADE - NACAO NESTA LIBERDADE - NACAO NESTA

1:48 true except that we store it on a chip the size of a nail and we control it by touching it and we hear that only for ourselves

Very funny, good job....

Close enough

not just LARGE but SPLENDIDLY LARGE!

Reading through the comments I am surprised how few picked up on that. :)

I legit throught this was made in the 30s for a second

splendid!

This is great haha

2:04 to 2:23 is the most funniest part for me. "Oh dear, honey. My Computer just literally crashed!" When modern day computers get virus

They got a few things right. Portable music players you wear while jogging, computers in every home. Home computers crashing.

The splendid zone 😂😂😂

THIS IS SEW ACCURATE.@^@

Brilliant!

it's sad and scary how much of this was accurate

every home will now have a computer too damn accurate.

He just popped a disco biscuit
