"If you think that every time I get my salary, I'm going to parade with a brassiere in my eye and a pair of knickers on my head, you've got another thing coming." What a HOOT!
@truevidence Never thought of that - maybe because Alfie Bass is too well-known, I always think of him in movies/shows like "The Fearless Vampire Killers", "The Army Game", "Alfie", "The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins", "The Lavender Hill Mob" or "The Goodies and the Beanstalk". Great comedy actor (though I must admit I do miss Mr. Grainger a lot")
love the look on Trevor Bannisters face at 03:39 it was never the same when he left. This was his last eppisode apart from the punch and judy afair Christmas epp.
@cathal2011 - your comment is just as nonsensical as saying "see, Amos and Andy tap dance and eat watermelon, just shows you that blacks all act that way." The _character_ Goldberg was written in the script to act like the Jewish stereotype. The only thing it "just shows you" in your words is that the script writers were using the Jewish stereotype for what they believed to be comedy effect. Sad on their part, sadder on yours.
Mr. Lucas was already superfluous and totally uninteresting,almost always irritating ,just like and Mr Spooner ,and sometimes Mr Grainger...the main carriers are just Mrs Slocombe and Mr Humphries...
For anybody wondering, Trevor Bannister left the show because he didnt like that the show had become an ensemble instead of him being the lead, which is clear in the pilot. By this point in the series, Mr Humphries and Mrs Slocomber are the most popular characters.
@mtwini09 I had also heard that he felt that mr lucas was a product of the seventies and wouldnt have translated well into the 80's plus, he had wanted to do a play that unfortunately clashed with the shooting shcedule and he chose the play as he wanted to do different things.
@mtwini09 Honestly I can see where he'd be upset but it was kind of a selfish reason for him to leave in my opinion. Spooner was okay but I still liked Lucas a lot better!
@mtwini09 i have to agree with those who say that Bannister had been long overshadowed by Slocum and Humpfries - Sudgen and Inman had much better comedy timing - from the first Bannister flubbed his lines and messed up the comedy timing, he just was not as good. And Thornton had great timing too. Was really a great ensemble of people they put together - love this show, thanks for posting.
@mtwini09 - That's true. However, he was offered a part in a play (which is what he had wanted to do - live acting), and the rehearsal times coincided with AYBS, so he left the show altogether. As you said, he didn't like the fact that he was no longer the lead character, so he began looking for other work. If he didn't get the part in the play or no other offers then I'm sure he would have stayed with AYBS.
@mtwini09 According to Trevor he left the show because the filming conflicted with his theater schedule. The BBC didn't give much notice when they renewed AYBS, so Trevor had already contracted for a play. BBC tried to move the filming schedule to accommodate Trevor's schedule, but it didn't work. So they had to hire a new actor as the junior.
thank you so much for uploading! but.. this isnt the season finale... that is The Punch and Judy Affair unless I am mistaken and if I am and that is a special Christmas episode just ignore me please.
@Hallinilla9 it keeps saying "video length too long" which clearly hasnt been a problem until now. im going to reupload in a lower quality to see if its jsut reacting to the compressor i use.
@mtwini09 oh good luck and again THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR UPLOADS! I know its a pain in the bum and takes for ever.. we really do appreciate it.
