1:11 Thats the homeless guy who's always buskin in sheldon square with them speakers lol hes actually really talented..... I remember the merry-go-round at the market from when i was little! use to love that thing :) haha
LOL my friends in that! That place looks awesome! They hired soo many people band great lyrics! They worked really hard on that! WOW loads of stuff cool!
some of those were harsh comments. they worked really hard on that and your just takin the mick, some of you are just pathetic! if you have nothin nice to say dont say anythin at all, JEEZ. ergh you people make me feel sick you selfish low life worst excuse for humans.!
Lets face it. Coventry is a fucking shit hole full of so much shit. The teens here are always sad because apparently coventry is known for its knife crime, violence, murfer, break ins and criminal offences. BULLSHIT, FUCK YOUUUU. COME TO FUCKING LONDON AND SEE THE REAL KNIFE CRIME AND SHIT. Dont get me wrong im not saying thats something to be proud of, im just saying im not proud, infact im embarresed to live in such a shit place
@liverpoolno14eva Tee hee, it's obvious you're not a genius... like me.
So, you have to ask yourself: Do you really want to argue with me over how shit Coventry is? I live there, and you defending it is rather quite offensive; well do you punk?
@Lukege15 so now you want to burn your own people? your more of a cock than i thought and by the way its not an argument to see who wins you idiot i was just saying that there was no need for your comment. i cba anyway...........
@Lukege15 internet expression bla bla bla your a boring 'correction' geek and i dont have to write correctly im not in a fucking exam, you are boring goodbye.....
@Lukege15 look.. just leave it now i have alot to worry about at the moment rather than argue on here. i was just a bit shocked with what you said thats all. im a nice lad i just got angry and to be fair i cant be arsed to keep replying lol
It looks like it was shot by someone who normally does adverts for Allied Carpets. If PoundStretcher had an advertising budget, this is what they'd get for their money.
hi my Grandad made and drowe the plands for the markit and his name was Ken Bradley and im Howard Farren-Bradley and my mum ust live in coventry and it best city in the worls love video the best one on youtube
Brings back some Memories, my father used to work as night watchman here back in the late sixties, and a friends father had a stall. We used to come in on sundays and cycle round when it was empty. Also under the market there is a similar layout of "tunnels" great fun when your only 8 years old!
I hope this is one big joke. There is very little that is great about Coventry, let alone Coventry market.
That bike shop constantly paraded in the video does not have in stock what you want at any time whatsoever, the whole place stinks of fish and the aisles are constantly blocked by slow, obnoxious, fat or chavvy people.
Next, I suppose, there will be a musical about the wonders of Wood End...
The only good person in this is the man that appears in 1.12 with his guitar, the one you can see playing in the city centre quite often. 1.47 someone is very out of tune and the bloke in the dinner jacket at 1.50 looks a lot like Mick Hucknall.
0ooh, and i was at the first showing down the city centre, the place was packed and everybody went crazy when it came on, so much so it had to be played again :D
Poomon99 ease up, These gies worked realy hard on the musical, if you think you can do better i beg you to try, you write your own song and make a vidio for it, upload it on here and lets see what you can offour, Fantastic musical gies, nothing to be ashamed of, everybody i know loved it and that includes me. nice job cov
I had the pleasure of helping with the filming of this project for the BBC and as well as it being a brilliant concept it was a fantastic experience. Thank you S,B and A for letting me work with you i'll never forget it xXx
Interesting take on the market. Good work of making a musical on something you wouldnt imagine!
Coventry as a whole isn't that bad, I've lived here my whole 22 years on this earth. The History is pretty great (Lets face it, who doesnt at least know the name 'Lady Godiva' or the term 'Peeping Tom'!) but it depends what you're used to, a few years ago it was aweful for its chav youth, but its much improved these days! Its not TERRIBLE and its not Creme-de-la-crem but it's a nice city nonetheless.
I grew up in Nuneaton and Coventry but now i live in the capital, i've laughed at Cov alot in the past but i've realised that i miss the sodding place. Compared to London it's heaven the people are generally polite, with old fashioned home grown manners, there is a great sense of community and the council are trying to Rejuvenate it whilst keeping a strong hold on it's heratige. Rock on Coventry this video is damn right hilarious and i will be coming home for a visit very soon!
I'm sorry that sounds far to Sentimental what i meant to say was, that rug dude is quite clearly a diva and deserves his own tv show, also rock on guy who opened it, me thinks someone is better than all the X-factor people put together
Brilliant,Brilliant, Brilliant, what a great bit of fun to celebrate 50 years of an iconic building thats been at the heart of our wonderful city for so long, i've lived in Coventry my whole life and am proud of this place, all you people who write about how much you hate it here why don't you do us all a favour and move away, its ppl like yourselves that hold our great city back...way up sky blues...
This is a funny (obviously on purpose I am sure!)video and a lovely celebration of a fun and important place for Coventry. I don't understand the mentality of the idiots who waste their time putting negative comments on here...BBC C&W is certainly not for people like you...there is Big Brother and other rubbish radio stations for people who don't get community, creativity and history. I'm not from Cov originally but over the last 10 years I've met some amazing people and I'm happy to live here!
I'm from Coventry and love it, but this is really bad! There is a reason BBC Cov & Warwick is not listened to..and the 'editor/producer' is not in TV. It doesn't show we are diverse, it depicts that we live in a 'special' town...dear lord!
Lmao, yeh it smells of fish, coz there a fish stall u idiot. How does Cov lie in the video?! If ppl wanna make a film to celebrate something, let them, they doing no harm, ur not being forced to watch it are you. some of the older ppl in coventry have been through a lot with the bombings in the war, so a small video on youtube isnt going to kill anyone! Im from coventry, and yeh the ppl frm cov who make the tele arent always the sharpest tool in the box, but dnt judge coventry on a 5 min video!
A vintage Ben Till production! Let's think of more fabulous community spaces for this man to make musicals about - how about Brighton Beach next? (By the way, I love the rug-sweethearts).
Lovely community piece and set in an interesting historical perspective. My grandparents lived through the bombings in Coventry in 1940, and I liked the positive treatment of the rebuilding of the city around a new kind of market.
OF COURSE it's going to benefit trade for Coventry Market! Don't you see this is a wonderful, refreshing way to celebrate individual trading? If Sainsbury's made a musical it'd never be like this. Think of the awful homogenised Halifax adverts. It's the homespun, authentic community charm of this that is so great, and precisely the kind of uncorporate thing the BBC should be doing a bit more of. Real people made this and you'd have to be blind to see how much it brims with their sincere pride.
I am not personally attacking the people involved I simply think that BBC money especially during hard ecconomic times could be better spent. It could have been much better, thats not attacking the people but the production. That aside if the production results in Coventry Market gaining more trade as a result I am pleasantly proved wrong and I shall take my words back. I wish you well.
I can see where you're coming from, but I think it's good that the BBC are promoting community issues and events. I can say personally (as a City girl), that before I heard about this musical, I didn't realise how many cool stores they had now - it's not just fruit and veg - they've an american imports store, eastern foods (the Nong Shim Cup Noodles so hard to get hold of), plus loads more. So yes, I've shopped there 10 times more than I did, and so have the people I've mentioned it to :-)
Congratulations to Siobhan who gave birth to two things this year - the beautiful Matilda and this FABULOUS musical!!!! If only more people across the country would take a leaf from Coventry's book and be proud enough of their city to come together as a community and sing and dance about it - wouldn't the UK be a happier place! Well done all - you look like you had a wonderful time, if this doesn't make the cynics smile - then nothing will. H, B & M x x x
Sounds like a wet excuse to me !!!Glad you have a sense of humour !I found the stories behind this made me cry so I too got wet ! Try to get help with spelling before you go public again. You lose credibility and I am sure that is not your intention .Very glad you are not incontinent!!!
Hmm, I must remember to ask her about her saxophoning next time I'm buying some computery stuff. Having said that I'd prefer it if they just replaced all the people with some sort of machine and then everyone could just stay at home :) I mean what if I just wanted to buy a pair of frilly knicks and they started singing about it ??!
BRILLIANT! Bought a smile to my face (and memories of being dragged around the market as a small child)! The guy who runs the cobblers and key cutters is a lovely bloke. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs their boots reheeling! ;)
It might not be "normal" to be singing and dancing in the market isles but if you dont get it youd better come and have a look at the special place that is coventry market.
A big thanks to the people who made this happen and what a laugh to share with the world.
The people on the bikes and at the bike shop are my cousins!!! they own the bike shop!!! Well done and the girl in the checked top about 11 is in my form!!!!
It was so much fun being part of a musical film. You might make judgements about who was involved but i can tell you that eveyone involved was genuine, kind and a pleasure to spend time with
Honestly, it was more fun then i thought it would be, and a great thing to be part of especially because the market just reminds me of being little and going on the roundabout.
Compared to the Cov. Kid on Big Brother who done the City no credit at all this looked like great fun without a swear word in earshot. well done to all concerned
What a wonderfully cheerful and optimistic film. Well done to all involved. If we all concentrated on the positive aspects of life, instead of dwelling on the negative, the country would be a much happier place. I loved the musical!
its slightly cring-worthy but come on, it was a bit of fun for the locals to celebrate their town market, its humourous and cheesy, but fun - get a sense of humour and laugh along with the rest of us!!!!
I just lost a little bit of my soul

A vintage Ben Till production! Let's think of more fabulous community spaces for this man to make musicals about - how about Brighton Beach next? (By the way, I love the rug-sweethearts).

Lovely community piece and set in an interesting historical perspective. My grandparents lived through the bombings in Coventry in 1940, and I liked the positive treatment of the rebuilding of the city around a new kind of market.

OF COURSE it's going to benefit trade for Coventry Market! Don't you see this is a wonderful, refreshing way to celebrate individual trading? If Sainsbury's made a musical it'd never be like this. Think of the awful homogenised Halifax adverts. It's the homespun, authentic community charm of this that is so great, and precisely the kind of uncorporate thing the BBC should be doing a bit more of. Real people made this and you'd have to be blind to see how much it brims with their sincere pride.

I am not personally attacking the people involved I simply think that BBC money especially during hard ecconomic times could be better spent. It could have been much better, thats not attacking the people but the production. That aside if the production results in Coventry Market gaining more trade as a result I am pleasantly proved wrong and I shall take my words back. I wish you well.

I can see where you're coming from, but I think it's good that the BBC are promoting community issues and events. I can say personally (as a City girl), that before I heard about this musical, I didn't realise how many cool stores they had now - it's not just fruit and veg - they've an american imports store, eastern foods (the Nong Shim Cup Noodles so hard to get hold of), plus loads more. So yes, I've shopped there 10 times more than I did, and so have the people I've mentioned it to :-)

Congratulations to Siobhan who gave birth to two things this year - the beautiful Matilda and this FABULOUS musical!!!! If only more people across the country would take a leaf from Coventry's book and be proud enough of their city to come together as a community and sing and dance about it - wouldn't the UK be a happier place! Well done all - you look like you had a wonderful time, if this doesn't make the cynics smile - then nothing will. H, B & M x x x

Hmm, I must remember to ask her about her saxophoning next time I'm buying some computery stuff. Having said that I'd prefer it if they just replaced all the people with some sort of machine and then everyone could just stay at home :) I mean what if I just wanted to buy a pair of frilly knicks and they started singing about it ??!

BRILLIANT! Bought a smile to my face (and memories of being dragged around the market as a small child)! The guy who runs the cobblers and key cutters is a lovely bloke. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs their boots reheeling! ;)

This is fab!
It might not be "normal" to be singing and dancing in the market isles but if you dont get it youd better come and have a look at the special place that is coventry market.
A big thanks to the people who made this happen and what a laugh to share with the world.
Spread a little coventry market fun.

It was so much fun being part of a musical film. You might make judgements about who was involved but i can tell you that eveyone involved was genuine, kind and a pleasure to spend time with
ljrushton 3 years ago 2
Honestly, it was more fun then i thought it would be, and a great thing to be part of especially because the market just reminds me of being little and going on the roundabout.
Thank you benjamin!

Compared to the Cov. Kid on Big Brother who done the City no credit at all this looked like great fun without a swear word in earshot. well done to all concerned

What a wonderfully cheerful and optimistic film. Well done to all involved. If we all concentrated on the positive aspects of life, instead of dwelling on the negative, the country would be a much happier place. I loved the musical!

its slightly cring-worthy but come on, it was a bit of fun for the locals to celebrate their town market, its humourous and cheesy, but fun - get a sense of humour and laugh along with the rest of us!!!!
