Futtock’s End

[Dustydog]

An original Ronnie Barker script just showing again on a Sky Channel. A brilliant mini film.
But why do they post the warning:-
“ Contains 70s social attitudes” 🙀

I must be a very unlikeable bloke who grew up and married in the 70s? Am I not normal in attitude🙀🙉

Don't worry you are no different to many others of your generation. We don't have Sky, the COLC and all that stuff. .

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for us tonight.

And there’s me thinking it would be Captain Pugwash and Cabin Boy Jim😉

I have all the Ronnie Barker scripts. I must admit that most of them were better on screen than in writing. However someone saw something in them and decided to air them.

I fondly remember Futtocks End.

Also still in memory is The Plank with Eric Sykes and Arthur Lowe (Captain Mainwaring). It's on YouTube if you want a trip down memory lane.

What would today's Wokes make of Alf Garnett?

OC....What's COLC

‘grew up and married in the 70s’

Therefore not politically correct. Could this be the problem?

I remember Futtocks End well. Not a word of dialogue, but I understood everything!

PROPER comedy, unlike most of what people try to convince us is "funny" these days.

I would really love to see "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" but there's more chance of hell freezing over, mainly due to the Sgt Major's "attitude" Shame isn't it?

I was also married in the 70's, Golden Wedding next October.

It was all comical satire. Have people today forgotten what real humour without intended offence is truly about? So glad I grew up and married in the 70s😉

Married in the 1960s and still yearn for the opportunity for a good public execution 🙈

Times and social attitudes have undergone change since ancient times. Why should today’s generation be different?

But since it is caused by inflation I thought four letter acronyms would be acceptable 😂
