Telly Savalas

[Texbaslery]

There's a blink and you miss it shot of a butcher's shop called "Mr Butch" that used to be in Charlotte Street. I remember buying some rump steak from there back in the early 80's It was so tough even my cats wouldn't touch it.

[Texbaslery]

This is just wonderful . Thank you Telly misses out the Tricorn! My sincere thanks to the uploader

‎"In the Guildhall Square, all kinds of things happen"

Yes, we know Telly, we know.

[andyunderwoodify]

like telly says "its magnificent" and he didnt make a video about that fucking scummy shit hole up the road so thats good enough for me

[terryperring104]

@andyunderwoodify grow up dude

[Widmerpool99]

5:48: People were more easily impressed then, I guess.

[Sian2009]

crazy not much has changed really! love living here

[MatlockJack]

This is the best of the three promotional Savalas films, that I've seen on here (did he make any more?). This city has some sense of institution (or if you prefer, pomp and circumstance), which BIrmingham and Aberdeen (for all their other virtues) just can't match.

[andyunderwoodify]

this is ace it makes pompey look like madrid

[mikeatrentech]

Haha not changed much since back when this was filmed

[Essentialbathrooms]

I am proud to continue the fashion craze of young men in Portsmouth sporting a sexy bald pate, which must have started soon after Telly shot this about our great city!

[MickG6ASJ]

I have lived here for 54 years, it used to be a great place in the 60's & 70's with so much going on. Now the local authority have pulled down a lot of the pubs, and built flats in their places. In my opinion, it's not as good as it used to be but I still love the place..

[Lindybowers]

I was there in 1990. A nice place to pass through on my way to Cornwall where my family ancestry goes back into antiquity.

[Doriro]

press "like" if you're here because of Lily's tweet

[Butteryjam]

God he makes Portsmouth sound so glamourous.

[GeorgeyyBoy]

[Quantook]

Thumbs up if Lily Allen brought you here.

[intertubers]

@Quantook i'd put my thumbs up lily allen, if you catch my drift.

[NatschePatsche]

Sehr nett

[pinklesley]

30 years on and everything but the market looks the same. It would be nice if there were less cars like in the film. Loved it!

[pompeyguv]

OMG Banana Bill !

[sherkey]

God damn!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF Is there anything telly cannot do. From Aberdeen to this fucked up place to the players club in Atlantic city and Vegas. Either he was hard up or just plain cooool and with it.

[ninonegative]

Blimey, I remember when it all looked that new... feel very old now.

[crayzeehorse]

Those in the know go to Charles Street! (Cue picture of man with a cauliflower) - love it!

Has anyone got Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham?

[1337bedge1337]

That is Charlotte Street not Charles St

[newtown81]

The Gosport ferry doesn't move THAT fast!

[cherrycola76]

love the dallas style soundtrack they felt obliged to use to accompany all the shiny new buildings...

[fifiragdoll]

There's certainly more than MEATS the eye here.

[discopanda28]

This really is my kinda town.

[jamesackland]

Thanks Telly.... i'm off there RIGHT NOW!!
