[jlb1369]

I'm just glad those pilots got out of those plans safely!

[wessfire]

this was hampshire fire brigade bassingstoke fire station for thats life i belive

[CJpilot316]

Thumbs up if you want one of those planes!

[pgp000]

Love it! I wish there were more funny movies like this one instead of the "new kinds of fun". Very original and very nicely played by the fire brigade!

[QAFtuvok101]

LOVE it

Only the Brits can make fun of themselves that way.

I just LOVE Brittish humour !

(Sorry for any English mistakes, I'm French-Canadian)

[lonstar70]

Well, at least I laughed once. When they roasted whatever it was over the fire.

[jawz1964]

Excellent

[greenslime27]

Magnificent men in their flying machines - quintessentially English aplomb. Well done!!!

[MoronsDelight]

@MTondeleo Does anybody know wtf SPAM is? Its sending unsolicited stuff for selling something. Somebodys pissed off because this comment putsdown British laugh machines.

[SerialHomebody]

HILARIOUS! I laughed through the entire video. :)

[Lilianne100]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, I LAUGHED SO MUCH.

[Cool2BCeltic]

This was shown on That's Life in the 1980s. These are guys who risk their lives as part of their job and it's good to see them having a laugh.

[maliciux]

[andyknight1]

I have'nt seen this since my child hood. Thanks for the great memories. Lol.

[portucale]

RedBull AirRace @ Lisbon in 2010

[bugzapper57]

Brilliant! First saw this on Foxtel (UK TV). There should be another one of this type called "Tankety-tank". Tried searching the Hampstead Fire Brigade site, but it wasn't in their collection of fire service demo vids. Start searching, folks!

[Skate12371]

This was Basingstoke Fire Station around (i think ) 1980 to go in the carnival. It ws shown on Thats Life with Esther Ransom. The following year Basingstoke Fire Station entered the carnival with The Desert Prats, also shown on That's Life! My Dad is one of the fireman in the clip!

[Skate12371]

Sorry - I should have read the rest of the comments before posting anything - 1984!!

[Duchess1951]

This is so funny! I tried to find the one you have mentioned, too, but with no luck. I actually could not even find their website, there are so many to choose from...

[neofalcon79]

géniale!

[fart6000]

wasnt that great

[wooperman3000]

u is FAIL 4 NOT CALLIN GR8

[NatHorseLover]

parts of this were filmed at lasham gliding club ;)

[corplug1]

Brilliant, very funny

[markheliops]

Excellent - really enjoyed it. Pity my crew at Gravesend can't exercise such humour. 10 out of 10.

[orcamum]

An original sample of the famous (for good reason) British humour!!!! I laughed to tears!!!

[skedsojunior2k8]

brilliant fun.ten out of ten.

[26Rache]

My mum and Dad are in this video, my dad is still a fireman at Basingstoke Fire Station where some of it was filmed. My mum is the woman who shoves her face in the cream cake at the picnic. I think somewhere we have a copy of 'Desert Prats' so will try and dig it out. I was about 2 when it was filmed and am in the crowd cheering scene. It was filmed for That's Life with Esther Ranzen in 1984

[Ninisgrands]

I thought Benny Hinn did this skit! Enjoyed, too funny!

[PublicNmeNo01]

I would be gratefull if any of the parties involved would contact me. I have a simular video clip and am seeking help & advice

[Rincewind1978]

Very good! this film is doing the rounds as a generic email around the world - just saw it and loved it!

It was bugging the hell out of me which TV show it was from - knew i'd find the answer here!! should have known it was That's Life! They use to show stuff like this all the time. I first thought it was from the The Two Ronnies or a Saturday Night ITV programme.

it was wonderful to see and brought me back to a more peaceful time .

well done to you and your dad for being part of it!

[trackerdave2002]

Your Dad is a genius! The planes are brilliant. Was it all his concept, too?

[eccles45]

Basingstoke is in Hampshire, so the Basingstoke Station is part of Hampshire Fire Brigade

[herpurplepixieness]

Very amusing! British humour at its best :) Just out of curiosity, why did the Basingstoke Fire Brigade film at the Hampshire Fire Brigade's HQ?? Good show from all involved, exciting to see some people who were directly involved too :)

[tori2shoes1]

Yes it was the Basingstoke Fire Brigade and my dad was the one who invented the planes (he's the one with the black tash!!?) I am also in the video, i'm the little girl at the picnic! Oh how it brings back many memories!! Yes it was on That's Life.

[FurkidsFlat]

Out of curiosity .. how long ago was that ?

It's a real hoot !! Must have been a lot of fun making the video.

[tori2shoes1]

It was way back in 1984, I was only 7....bless! Yeah it was a lot of fun. They did the main sequence at Lasham airport and the the rest at Basingstoke fire station. The following year for the carnival, they made some tanks and called themselves the Desert Prats, not sure what happened to the video for that though!?

[42blondemoment]

@tori2shoes1 this is possibly the first time I've been proud to admit to being from Basingstoke!

[moonbeammustang]

It has a Monty Python feel to it. Great funny video!! Reminded me of the MP hunting skit.

[profyaffel]

It was the Basingstoke Fire Brigade and I'm pretty sure my Mum's cousin was involved, it was indeed shown on That's Life.

[heresmonkeyman]

I think you will find this was on thats life first but may have been shown on tv elsewhere

[politcalgamer]

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!

[OlySezHey]

Considering what these guys do for a living, thank God they had nothing better to do than make this video. It's fun watching them have fun making it :)

[googleisshittoss]

Not 100% sure, but I seem to remember this was for Comic Relief...very funny, forgotten all about it!

[fiebichjk]

this is so funny
