"It'll Be Alright On The Night 2" - (pt.1 of 6) - '79

The others are already on YT - but not many people HAD a VCR in '79. Even fewer in '77, when the first foray came out. Then again - they cost thousands in today's money - had umpteen different standards (SVR, U-Matic, VCR, VCR-LP, Betamax and VHS - to name a few) - and being filled with springs, multi-switches, wires, cords and cooker parts, you needed a resident engineer to keep the damn things going! But I have this - so now, so do YOU.

Oh wow, man. Melvyn Bragg, Kenny Everett, Ron Moody - yup, some great ones here. 'Course, this was still when the whole idea was new, fresh & exciting (just listen to that audience - out-takes just weren't on all the time then, as they have been since, that's why they're lovin' it so much). I think I've got some old VHSes of that vintage, too, mind - have to see if there's anything on 'em worth posting first, obviously, but I'll certainly take a look. Vivat Nordenis!

@Maundervision - Yeah, that's true. Before '77, the only people who got to see this stuff were IN the industry. Clearance was a nightmare to get. Thus people were DELIRIOUS just to see slips, trips, fluffs and corpses. Today, outtakes have to be EXCEPTIONAL to get noticed! But there were still SOME good ones in these early outtake outings!

Great to see this. Does anyone have the first It'll Be Alright On the Night ? Does anyone remember the out-take where the announcer introduces a show about a women's prison that cuts to a puppet dance by the Yogs? If so, where can I find it?!

I can't thank you enough for this! You rule!!!!!

Wish they'd just show the clips without Dennis Norden's tedious commentary. If anything needs explaining they could just show captions on screen. They could fit in another selection of clips instead of his wittering.

Thank you! I was looking all over for this!

Brilliant! Thanks for uploading this, I've waited years to see it.
