That's when I watch it. After work for a few hours while eating my tea. It's the best time

Me too same age . Hated it at the time , but how i missed out . Great too watch it now , fantastic programme .

Me too same age

i am 58 and i still love it sooooo much

Me too but I’m 61.

Its just a number, if you can laugh at stuff like this then you got more spark and life in you than these dried up kids of 16 today…❤

2024 now brilliant entertainment wish they brought it back to our TV sets.

@@jameswalker7459 They did show it on a uk channel ITV plus one i think but they had edited it so much it was rubbish ! all the funny bits cut out ffs 😡 I live in Spain but get uk channels and i was disgusted the uk rules everything.. what we eat ( taking sugar etc out of stuff we love), what we say, and what we watch and laugh at.. people dont realise how controlling the uk is now.. 😊 x

I only wish they made stuff like this nowadays

@@nigel1823 impossible to recapture the humanity in a broken world today

@@pisstakecentral I am a bit surprised to hear the cast talking about old money given how close the UK was to go over to the new money

@@pisstakecentral, don't be stupid; this sitcom wasn't that highly regarded in England to begin with, and is considered one of the worst British sitcoms ever (although I liked it when I saw it here in Canada as a kid.) Nobody would make a show like it today because of how dated most of the humour is and how sexist it is.

@@eliotreader8220 in later episodes ( 1971) they start to use new money 💴 and display the new costs in the canteen.

Less urope ians and Muzlamics

OI! WHAT U ON ABOUT EH?

Same here 🤗

I know what you mean. That line was probably one of the funniest lines in any comedy throughout the entire history of television. Just superb!

You still can't!

Hello from Handsworth 🤗

its still like that now in cornwall... but all year round.. glad i left that dump

@@flight101 I take exception to your comments about Cornwall.I made a bad decision yrs ago & now will never get back to the West Country.Kernow Kensa.

Birmingham is a horrible city.

Very true.

they are.. stan was aggravating, hate him, bad manners and always making the same old jokes while looking round at everyone as if tu say '. ' ,laugh at my shit jokes

Aristolelezz : I found Olive and Arthur really funny too. I thought Blakey was too exaggerated. Didn't really like the bus garage stuff that much. Preferred the scenes in the family kitchen with mum, Stan, Olive and Arthur. Salesmen always rang the front bell whereas Jack always came in through the back door into the cosy kitchen. I remember as a child that friends and neighbours always entered the house via the back door which was never locked 😃.

@@helencampbell2064 You always wonder why Olive and Arthur were married in the first place. What made them do it? There's no love between them, but Olive is nice to Arthur, but everything about her angers him.

@@Aristotelezz I suppose couples often drift apart and fall out of love. As you know the series was set in the 1970s and ordinary working class people rarely got divorced. Couples often stayed in a stale marriage. Arthur doesn't seem happy. He's always miserable. Olive still loves him a little though. Anna Karen played the short sighted, dim and frumpy housewife very well. After years of marriage, she has let herself go. I do, as a child, remember women who looked exactly like Olive. Arthur is awful. A complete chauvinist, rude and socially inexperienced. No charisma whatsoever. He doesn't know how to treat women and yet, as a tv couple, both were hilarious😄. All the family gatherings seemed to be centered around the table in the very cluttered kitchen. Britain in a bygone era. Great stuff.

We love you too Karen Joslyn. You have great taste as well. 👍👍👍

@@wilmaflinstone7650 c'mon over and visit us in Wine Country in upstate NY!!

The other question would be, how did Stan get to work in the first place

​@@retrobilly1986Bus 🤣

You certainly can't beat the great situation comedy of yesterday. Olive makes me laugh. She often seems to be yelling and screaming. You can't mistake her voice.

I'm not British but yes their comedy is astounding

Nobody was bothered about social media and all the invading my personal space rubbish.. i refuse to become like Americans.. x

I loved xmas but sadly can’t do it anymore. I have such terrrianxiety/ heart palpitations I never leave my bed.. been here 4 years . I used to love xmas shopping, the xmas songs etc.. etc😢😢😢😢 merry xmas anyway

@@flight101 awww sorry. I get like it too❤️🙏

So sorry to hear that 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@beverlygannon4141 oh bless. Just seen your reply, it’s horrible, like a demon. I stayed in bed all xmas checking my pulse etc. i miss life.. 😢 are you ok. Xx

@@suzannemills7920 thank you so much.. 😢 restores my faith in people when someone is nice to me. Just closed my TikTok account as I was bullied. Sending 🤗 xx❤

Never cared for Morecombe and wise

​@@jr7845I loved them. Eric looked like my dad😂

@@jr7845i vaguely recall them later on as they were before my time but i never thought them funny at all..bumbling idiots.

Me to 😁

Same. I was watching alf garnett before I was in double digits. I was born old lol

​@@vykkye Good on you !!

Alf is the best

⁠@@vykkyeI’m watching Alf Garnett at the min. We’re on until death do us part. The couldn’t make anything like that nowadays

Yes, life sucks.

My friend conducted the funeral 😢.

​@@johnchurch4705 😟

Me neither. Never watched the b/w ones, and not sure if they ever got repeated.

And mine ! It was awful when he left, Olive went all normal after and totally changed character.

​@@flight101if Olive had been a beautiful 😍 woman she got a another man after Arthur had left and divorce her because she wasn't beautiful you never saw her going on dates.

@@vanessalouise8988 Using beautiful and Olive in the same sentence, just wow 😁

Arthur was a horrible husband 🙄 he always kept mocking Olive he was hardly perfect himself he wouldn't have been allowed now to say those things about her now 😡 Olive couldn't see he faults they never spent time together alone they always were stuck in that house 🏡 with olive mother and brother Stan.

You do realise this show and the characters in it, are fictional right? 😂

Considering they were filmed in October they had plenty of time

Me to

Yes

i think the colour a bit rubbish as the rest of this series was in colour plus the previous series we know wat the actors wear wat colour things are more likely to be

Not a chance sadly, not in this pc society.

Happy Christmas and New year to you 👍

Thankfully ITV3 still shows them. But the way things are today they show them in the small hours.

​@@joemcconnell2674 with 65 adverts

Steptoe still gets shown on TV, and it comes with a warning 😄

If you lived in Northern Ireland it wasn't.

Visit Belfast and Northern Ireland. People live there told me life is a lot easier now than it was in the seventies and eighties.

And..?? I bet loads of places might say that 🤷‍♀️

believe me... you don't

I hated the sleazy git but youre right. Same with Benidorm when the took the Garveys out.

If only all married couples were as funny and as likeable as Arthur and Olive were😅. Hilarious 🤣

Lynn Mcphee and Baby boy zak and I will get back to you and you can see the year of the university of time to be in touch with you 😀😀 I am so sorry 😐😐 I have a great day and U can you uuru you have 💘 on a bit late for you to get the same as I was in the year and I am 😂😂 I t know the rest 😉😊😊😊

I loved working on Christmas. New Years too.

@@mchlbk Don't get me wrong. I like the OT pay and all. I just didn't realize how many holidays I've missed in the past decade. I love night shift. I'm on the west coast of Florida and I watch all the launches from the East Coast on the roof of the 5 story building I work in. I just have to put the building's property manager in his place. Dingus is getting a bit too big for his britches.

I know what you mean. In the industry I was on it was a 24/7 365 days of the year business. Depending on the roster you either worked it or had it off. Usually worked out you got about 1 in 4 off. Just part of life. I enjoyed the job so never really worried about it. Good on pay day too. Retired after 30 plus years .😊

see what a great comment.. no sentimental crap and an essay to read.. glad this has good memories for you

Dearly held memories. I understand.

This ended before I was born but I’m glad my Nan used to watch it and even though she’s gone we both watched

Same here. I'm young and have the best memories with my nan watching these x

Me ad all my family friends All watch OTB regularly Absolutely brilliant written By r.wolfe + r Chesney Love from Manchester England 🇬🇧 ❤🎉❤🎉

70s was so great. All the shows too. Crap now

@@beverlygannon4141 absolutely right

And stan never ever washed or bathed, bet he stank to high heaven..that greasy hair n his filthy underpants. Olive and the mq

What a beautiful little story. What a nice person

A lot of inconsistency in these

Olive had a baby in one or two of the film's they made .

And…???😂

Didn't Arthur have a sister, maybe she had a kid.

If it came back, it would only be rubbish, compered to the original, they don't know how to make good tv programs anymore.
