Thames Television Christmas Tape 1985

[mfx1]

Brings back memories, love the irony of them using BBC micros.

[TheMusicman12ize]

this was very funny wow who was the girl at the end that was the best bit lol

[SilverRanger92]

LOL Rod Jane and Freddy's Scene is so funny

[radiodarkhorse]

this is brilliant. thanks for uploading

[optimus57]

The 80s was the best decade for tv.

[lurch721]

Tht was very Blue Peter

[andremp04]

'Where the fuck are we?' ROFL

[patmix]

simply black humours brithish  inspired by bloody monthy pythons thats simple no ? gr8 mixes on this clip

anyway hats-off the 80's

[camelknicks]

Nice tit wank at the end !

[RobTheBuilder]

Oh the irony of the Carlton bit. If only they'd known that Thatcher would screw them out of the franchise in revenge and wreck itv in a single bound.

[LuthansaTerminal]

It was a reference to the attempted takeover of Thames by Carlton which the IBA didn't allow

[radiodarkhorse]

Very true mate!

[bluesbrother37]

Who's the bird showing her stockings?

[prodge]

Victoria Studd - that's from the CITV programme Splash. I'm glad Thames secretly acknowledged it was a Blue Peter rip-off!

[bluesbrother37]

Thanks!

[zionravescene]

It's like some bizarre stream-of-consciousness dream from my childhood.

[JonnyInfinite]

wtf? haha

[quizmaster85]

"Where the fuck are we?!"

[filtermadg]

an early example of a Youtube Poop

[geniusburger]

Not really, this is actually funny.

[keefybaby2007]

no thats not her.

[zcscdc1]

Isnt the topless girl Michelle Holmes who starred in Rita Sue and Bob too ?

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Looks a bit like 'War Games', but the havoc happens at a TV network! Funny!!!

[bonzo874]

c,est vrai , rulez Jane !!

[rihannaplaysnext]

seeing george from rainbow without a torso at the end was a step too far

[rihannaplaysnext]

can't believe i saw the decaoitated head of george at the end, it was the same feeling of betrayal on finding out about santa

[paddle9]

Full of the creativity (and occasional surreality) we all remember from Thames. The tapes sequence was amazing. RIP Thames and all who sailed in her.

[UKFARTFAN]

I agree. Would love to know who the bird is with the big tits.

Overall a very funny video.

[spaceinvader1]

Whose the bird on at 8mins-shes AMAZING!!!!!!

[dacrlit]

sHE IS ALSO ON AT 06.04 as well and also how did they know about CARLTON then, or have you put it in davidmcn.

[herbnspices]

The year the tape was made, Carlton attempted to buy Thames Television, only to be stopped by the IBA.

[dacrlit]

Thank you for your help.

[bluesbrother37]

Thames always did have its knockers!!

[bodnotbod]

Excellent to see one of those legendary Christmas tapes, even if only to realise that we weren't missing all that much.

[lisaglitters]

Brilliant clip. Rod, Jane and Freddy rule!

[onegiantpussy]

Nino Firetto - what a cunt!

[ICE420]

Loved it, very funny.

[wisteela]

Fantastic.

Love the use of the BBC Micro, and bonus points for the random bouncy castle. :)

[agfagaevart]

Not funny at all.

[alijanlondon]

Jeez this is absolutely terrible!

[Durbs75]

I like Jim Davidson. Well, he's ok. But he's an important bulwark against the hypocrytical right-on comics that decry him. Sore point that, really. Great post, fascinating..

[reelsonwheels]

Smashing knockers! :D

[mubd]

NAFF Television

[rfitzhen]

Today it's called Carlton Television

[bluesbrother37]

Fuck Carlton!

[redfoozle]

"archaic sexism" ? Oh I don't know, it's just aimed at male tastes, nothing inherently sexist or archaic in that. It just that modern 'culture' tries to pretend men shouldn't be interested in women as sex objects, whereas woman can now treat men as dirt in advertising and that's okay.

[25AUG1968]

Mind you, I don't think that men AND women should treat each other like dirt at all and just get on with each other. End the childish "battle of the sexes" and just say to each other "I'm OK, You're OK". Please can we try that, please? Mike S.

[thesloaneranger1]

absolute quality! long live rod, jane and freddy! :D

[AntarcticaTelevision]

The sequence with the Splash presenter showing and taking off her pantyhose and the fat lady showing here big knockers off in front of the Thames continuity backdrop are pure GOLD! Much better than the previous year's Xmas tape!

[mononokehime316uk]

I wonder if the girl with the big knockers worked there? Too much Jim Davidson still funny tape though.

[lostinbass4]

is this a vid for workers at thames, bbc use to do a xmas tape, with loads of bloopers in, just for the workers of the bbc, its on youtube somewhere

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

jim davidson is great big break....

[welshguy28]

jim davidson is a cunt

[grodvin]

You said it!

[davehess]

Thank christ he's off our screens these days.

[lawe73109]

Long live Thames!
