I know she has cerebral palsy and that's why she talks in the way she does but I can rarely understand what she is actually saying. Even if I do understand it's usually one or two words so not enough to get the actual gist of what she is saying. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem?

It really sucks because she always gets laughs so I imagine she's probably hilarious but I always just feel like I'm missing the joke because I can't understand her. Maybe me not being British also has something to do with it? But I'm Aussie so a native English speaker.

Those are two short clips from Mandy (Series 4, Episode 2). Pretty funny, isn’t it? I love it! 😅

Does anyone remember Mrs. Bucket or watch her on TV during the 1990's?

I remember watching her on TV growing up in Australia during the 1990's, and loved the show.

I’m going to have to buy another shelving unit soon.

Adam Hess might be one of my favourite comedians, I went to a gig of his after experiencing really bad heartbreak, and he made me laugh so uncontrollably. His wiki page has been shortened, his Instagram has shut down, and I can't find any recent material, or any upcoming scheduled gigs.

I'm not sure if I missed something?

This is a clip of them from a TV show they did (Robert Webb was also in this show, of course) before The Office and Peep Show. The show was called “Bruiser”. Many clips from the show on YouTube.

Apologies if this has been posted recently. I just joined this group and wanted to share a little gem.

I’m 24 and a big fan of Steptoe and Son — both the classic TV series and the two spin-off films. I recently rewatched the 1972 movie (the first one), and while it’s hilarious and full of that classic tragicomedy the show does so well, there’s one plot point that’s really been bothering me…

Who was the mother of the baby Harold finds in the stable?
In the film, after Zita leaves and everything’s fallen apart, Harold and Albert find a baby left in their horse’s stable. Harold assumes it’s Zita’s, and that he’s the father — but later, when he finds Zita again, she has her own baby (with her new partner), and it’s not the same child.

So who left this baby with Harold? Why? What’s the connection?
The movie never really explains it. It’s one of those moments that seems to just… happen.

I’m wondering if it was meant to be symbolic. Like, Harold’s so desperate for love, meaning, a fresh start — he’s been abandoned by Zita and clings to this baby as a kind of emotional lifeline. But it's all based on a complete misunderstanding. That actually makes it even more tragic. In trying to move on, he just gets pulled right back into the life he was trying to escape — alone with Albert in the end.

The whole subplot is funny, yes, but also deeply sad when you think about it.

Also, I really wish they had continued the series or made another film in the early ’80s before Harry H. Corbett sadly died in 1982. Even just one more series or a special would’ve been amazing — there was still so much they could have explored with those characters.

Sometimes I wonder what it would’ve been like if they’d done a final episode or even a spin-off with just Albert, after Harold dies (which the show kind of hints at). Seeing Albert completely on his own, without anyone to annoy or manipulate — it would have been a totally different, and probably very moving, take on the character.

Anyway, just wanted to share that and see if anyone else had thoughts about the baby mystery or the way the series could’ve wrapped up. I genuinely think Steptoe and Son is one of the most underrated, emotionally complex British comedies ever made.

Or, as it’s known in Britain…comedy. Hello everyone. I’m currently binging “Would I Lie To You?” I’m so glad they replaced Angus with Rob Brydon. Best move they could have made in my opinion. Who are some of your favorite comedians, and what are some of your favorite shows?

Simply the best of British humor. In case you aren't familiar with this series it's the longest running sit-com in history. Three old blokes tramp around the Yorkshire countryside doing the wackiest things a barmpot can do. Not offensive humor, very little sexual humor, totally cozy and comfortable humor. Anyone else out there who enjoys this series? Big question: who was your favorite'3rd' barmpot?
