Hinge & Bracket in Dear Ladies

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Did this show ever make it to the US on TV? I don't recall ever seeing it. Too bad, I'll bet it would have been a big hit.

@ivelosthewilltolive Hi, if you can play region 2 DVDs you can order them and get them posted over to you or try Amazon.co.uk

[mrdiko]

Ahh memories. I went to school there in Great Budworth.

[jimincairns]

I was given a great big pile of records today and concealed in the stack was...a signed copy of 'Dear Ladies'! It looks virtually unplayed, too.

[dearladies]

@jimincairns If you wish to sell it i can let the fans know in my google group. Or you could sell it on eBay

These two remind me of a couple of guys who own KW Carpets near Accrington.

Can anyone tell me if The Cat Duet (Duetto Buffo Di Due Gatti) is on any of the DVDs? I have the CD, but would love to see the performance again.

[dearladies]

Hi

i have sent a message to my google group to ask the fans as i haven't watched the Gala Evenings DVD for a while so i cannot remember. I am sure it will be on there.

I can't even remember if it is on any of My Specials DVDs, but i will reply as soon as i hear from the fans

It´s there

[pyglett]

We need another H & B to lift us Brits out of the recessionary gloom! Any Brit talent out here can help?

[MoleinaHole]

I genuinely didn't realise they were men for years - which may sound like I'm stupid but I grew up in a small town with women just like this! I loved this show - just ordered the DVD's - can't wait.

[tegid699]

Shows how good and natural they were! Wonderful entertainment!! made you feel cosy like morcambe and wise!

[teenphantom]

Thats why they were so popular. Eveyone new a few ladies like them.

"When is a biscuit tin like a fountain? When it's a square tin." I don't get it. Can someone explain?? The rest is hilarious, especially when the arms of the venus statuette are lopped off - BRILLIANT!!!!

[Robretty]

"When is a biscuit tin like a fountain? When it's a square tin." that is "squirting"

Brilliant!

bushbaby... thanx 4 that... good info... its sad that it didnt get recognised in UK as much as it should.

[hulalulatallulahoop]

[Bushbaby387]

I recently met George in Le Dorat in SW France, where he runs a guesthouse. A really lovely guy. Still plays the piano to a very high standard

Patrick sadly died a few years ago

[carolineharry]

I have just ordered the dvd from HMV.I'm a poet, and I didn't even know it!! I loved the dear ladies when I was a kid, thrilled the dvd it on sale.

[boonchuey]

Wonderful to see them again! I wish someone would post the special episode of H&B that was filmed at Cheltenham Ladies College - it was fabulous.

[shuddersfield]

hi i have a dvd copy of the concert and show at cheltenham, i dont know if it will copy again but i,ll try, if you would like a copy? ian

[wedddk]

I stumbled across the "Dear Ladies" the other day and have absolutely fallen in love with this show! Would love to see all of the episodes, but the dvd's aren't available in the USA (wouldn't play on our dvd players). I've ordered a cd of them and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Thank you so much for posting so I can enjoy them!

[Creissels]

I had no success in persuading my elderly step-grandma that these dear ladies were in fact dear chaps. Refused to countenance the suggestion and found it offensive! This was in the 1970s. Much later I saw H&B perform in panto at Stafford and they were sublime. Thanks for the upload.

[Elimin8]

Fantastic stuff - the live show I was lucky to see was hilarious. So sad the dear Dame is no longer with us. Can't wait for the DVD to be out.

[raymonde01]

I used to love this programme. Dr Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Bracket. Gentle yet subversive. Very English. Why hasn't this found its way back on one of the digital channels?

[daipandy]

great to see the girls old again

[mrrk]

How wondrfull to see this again. Have you any more?

[mic33george]

I remember someone telling me there elderly mother was most shocked that someone should suggest they were in fact men!!

[vicannerob]

Thankx Paul

[bearcub42]

How wonderfull ! I loved these guys so much! Many thanks

[paulski2004]

First time I've seen Hinge & bracket, what a fantastic duo. Please show some more.

[CDeanWatcher]

I just recently discovered Hinge and Bracket thanks to BBC Radio 7 Listen Again. Quite fun. Thanks very much for showing these on YouTube. Please show some more!

[Troldhaugen]

Brilliant! Let's have some more!!

[gibride87]

Gosh, so wonderful to see after all these years. Thank you!
