Robert Lindsay is from one of the most deprived areas of England, Ilkeston

[abbafan50986]

The way I see it, 'My family', was like an update on how Wolfie's life progressed. Eventually, as the effects of Thatcherism began to affect Britain, he accepted that the Tooting popular front were going nowhere. Thus he gave in and took up dentistry, becoming a member of the middle-class bourgoise that he was once so opposed to in the process. Of course 'My family' lacked the writing talent of John Sullivan, but we can't have everything

[tigerlion30]

God Bless John Sullivan and David Croft - they can never be replaced. POWWWW WER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

[Yammahoo]

[FM5KR6F2007]

FREEDOM FOR TOOTING!

[djdave921]

power to the people foxy!

[AnElephantsChild]

What is Fascism ?

Fascism = everyone sticking to their own kind & looking out for their own interests.

It's a bit like organised selfishness, which is why it will never work.

Sooner or later we all have to co-operate with someone else & there would be no advancement if we weren't prepared to learn from one another.

[iornturtel]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnElephantsChild]

FREEDOM FOR TOOTING !

[Jagged85]

@AnElephantsChild

This show makes me feel a bit proud to be a Tooting lad.

[ninelivecat]

@Jagged85 John Sulivan the writer is from South West London he also created Fools And Horses

[Jagged85]

@ninelivecat

You're right. Sullivan was from Balham, which is right next to Tooting.



[ellenwispa]

I think the character of Wolfie Smith would turn in his grave (if he had passed away) at the rate at which the uk has turned into a police state. We are lucky to have the likes of CVeitch (search for Love police) who have taken over the good fight.

[ellenwispa]

I really need to get this on DVD. The episode where they stormed parliament (and failed yet again!) was a classic.

[theworldvideos1]

LOL A lot of these looney left wingers are like Citizen Smith !!!

[briggles]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

[papermariob]

Did you see the truck in the background at 00:50 in this video clip... Notice the lack of side crash barriers on the trailer. BY LAW they MUST have these fitted now. (in the UK)

[InsecureAnimal]

Class comedy! i wonder how it would stand up today? Does anyone know where you can see the series?

[billy2rivers1]

uk gold.

[Cool2BCeltic]

One of the best 1970s comedies. Robert Lindsay made Wolfie Smith a cult figure.

[RadBrad13]

Yes! Wolfie Smith is a classic! xD

[JAYROX1969]

TV is just shit now!!

[TheRaver911]

john sullivan what an amazing writer did brilliant with this then went on to make the genius comedy only fools and horses!

[kasttt]

A quote I heard:

"Che was Latin America's middle finger to Uncle Sam"

[TheWiretap]

power to the people!!!

[789959]

This was my favourite tv show of all time...

[JediAutobotX]

CLASSIC OPENING! :D

[MyHeroArdalPeep123]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

[RobertJamesAlexander]

dont try and put a berret on a statue in london now- youll be battered to death by some coppers

power to the people

[EnidBlytonne]

How did Robert Lindsay go from this great show to the dire My Family?

[HighVoltageSound]

Haha - up yours Babylon!!

[eatmypies]

its the socialist banner.the reason it is red it is reference to the martys blood that was shed in the cause of socialism.

[TashkentFox]

Surely you mean in reference to the martyr's blood shed BY the cause of socialism? Have you ever heard of a guy called Nicolae Ceacescu?

[THESTAFFIECHANNEL]

Er yeah and ive also heard of Capitalist/Fascists known as Adolf Hitler and George Bush.

Che was a good man who stuck up and fought for the worse off.

[aeronuk1]

@THESTAFFIECHANNEL

Adolf Hitler was a socialist not a capitalist.

[anarchodolly]

Which is why he had all the trade unions banned and all the socialists rounded up into prison camps, right? It's more complex than that. There is an anti-capitalist element in fascism, but that doesn't make it socialist. When fascists come to power, they purge the more radical elements from their own ranks and side with the old property-owning establishment. Fascism isn't strictly capitalist, but neither is it socialist. It's about maintaining hierarchy and privilege - the opposite of socialism.

[kayman92]

@aeronuk1 He was not a socialist he was a facist, benito mussolini said that fascism was neither left not right but it wasn't centrist either. Fascism is probably one of the hardest ideologies to define. Adolf Hitler gave big business jewish slave labourers and abolished trade unions. Franco however always dug government into the economy.

[TylerLav118118]

Power To The People.

[Shesnoin]

Some old programmes they air again - doubt they will this one in this sad sad "politically correct" and controlled by immigrants society.
