Every time I see this video, I always have this vision of me and my Dad being on that stage in front of the audience with me being the Terry character and my Dad being the Arthur character and we're doing and saying exactly everything on what those two are doing and saying. lol. XD
Strange..... you'd think they'd look like fish out of water on TOTP, and yet they just cruise through this like they'd been doing it every week. It's like they brought the car lot and The Winchester with them in spirit.
Love it. They had real screen chemistry, something that was fairly rare then but is dodo-esque now.
top tv show AND no 12 in the charts!...i reckon waterman had to beat off the fanny..... i also beleive aswell as singing 'w.a.w.g.t.g.f.h.i', he wrote it too.
love'em! This is the one we want not the new horrible version of Minder on channel 5. haha! I had a crush on Terry when I first started watching Minder.
LMAO that was funny. I must say though, Minder wasnt half as good after denis waterman left. now, im off to ebay to buy the box sets. You forget how great T.V actually can be.
'It 'im, Terry...It's all these 'ooligans understand! 'Minder' will always be pure gold entertainment, not like the P.C. trash that is spoon-fed to the masses these days.
Amazing! Alot is said of the legendary Ronnie Barker and David Jason but I think George Cole has got to be in the top ten if not top 5 British Comedy performers of all time - he is a legend!
This has been my fave Christmas songs for years and years, long before i ever knew who Arthur and Terry were!! Have always wanted to see this, thankyou soooo much, is there any way or anywhere i could download this video to keep?! utterly brillint!! thankyou!!
classic, i've just been playing a radio serial on my drive show that features George Cole and wanted to play a bit of this afterwards. So thanks for posting it. Ah, where would we be without the big three; google, wiki and YouTube
this is utterly depressing

Funniest thing about this is the audience trying to dance to it.
The most frightening though is that it reached number 21 in the charts.
I echo the Waterman comment though from
kirkwanglers32, Waterman is a grumpy old so and so if you try to ask for an autograph.
