Ripping Yarns Season 2 Episode 3-Roger Of The Raj

😂❤😂

A tale replicated by Richard Branson.

Foreign people should see this

oh so good.

In the scene when Michael Palin is talking with Miranda, I’m not sure it’s him in the mirror reflection

Pompous English bastards with unwashed arses😂😂😂😂😂😂

30 minutes of my life wasted, complete shite

What a wonderful Series 🥰

Andrew doesn’t sweat. He Royally perspires.

" A forged degree from Bangkok University" 🤣🤣🤣
There is a Bangkok University, although it didn't exist at the time of the Raj.

Remember these but always think mid to late 80's somehow. 79 I was just 11.

😅Typical British crap

great stuff

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING.
Be less boring...be less centralized.

Equally noteworthy as Sanderson is Richard Vernon. He had a lengthy career, including appearances in Bond movies. The role I will always remember him in is as BOE chairman Sir Dennis Glazebrook in "Yes, Prime Minister" ("Milton Friedman, Milton Keynes, why are they all called Milton?").
My recommendation is to check him out as spy master "C" in the best TV spy series you've never heard of, "The Sandbaggers", starring Roy Marsden.

And of course, John LeMesurier as an officer at the regimental dinner, better known as Sgt. Wilson of 'Dad's Army'.

And last but not least, Roger Brierley, the socialist tutor, a mainstay of British TV, also enjoyable as Hugh Laurie's foil Sir Roderick Glossop in "Jeeves and Wooster".

Doesn't age with time in fact I laughed as much this time as when first seeing the series 😮 xx..

Comedy is funny when it satirises truth. This doesn't nor does it stand the test of time. They were self-indulgent. Can't see how they were better than the woke comedians of today.

Curious how we look upon the past, in my case it wld be tied cottage, being compliant, being careful, watching yer tongue. But of course in centuries past we forget there were ppl that hardly had to lift a finger, attended upon for all meals, well dressed, all laundry appearing fresh as if by magic, comfort and warmth, needing no more than to perform their part in the pageant of privelige. I often wonder what happened to all the staff domestic and manual outdoor workers? Saving hard thro their lives, possibly un-married, what then? Interesting portrayal in the above of the Patriach, at least displaying an education and questioning mind.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

“I love my sister, her name’s Miranda”…

Different values, different values!

It's wonderful how British TV producers continued recording directly onto film into the 1990s.

Absolutely ripping. And quite amusing. Pippers….

The mother here always plays same type of character.

Like to know who selected music for this.

This reminds me of Brit movie “Charge of Light Brigade “ with “Monty Python”

Sadly,once free they were free to work for a pitiful wage,pay rent,taxes and if they could afford it.....food.
But don't worry,the lads could get jobs with the infantry and go up against heavy artillery if they wanted a short term career.
The girls could get jobs with the army but these generally s*cked.

God I miss Joan Sanderson, she was superb at playing a certain kind of englishwoman who seem all to have vanished. She reminds me of the story of Lady Salisbury, wife of the famous Victorian Prime Minister. It was said she was built like a battleship under full sail. She and her husband had an unruly home-educated brood of children. Of them and her husband Lady Salisbury once said: "Well, he may be very good at running the British Empire, but he should never be left alone with ten children !"

Ashim K are you a stalker?

You know what to do...

Did this have a laugh track originally.?

Never would I see the day where Sergeant Wilson gives a speech about the values of socialism. Also, Mr Hopper would later go on to be given grief by the antics of Mr Bean and Bertie Wooster.

Also, nice use of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring'.

The best toast I ever had was at a Breakfast in the Kitchen of Chatsworth House on many occasions cooked by Bowering the cook .
Wonderfuly crisp and the correct shade of beige.

I would give any thing to see Jan Frances move in Surgical Appliences.😅

Comedy genius, and so prophetic in our current situation.

Canned laughter is really annoying.
Spoils the dialogue.

It's Mrs Richards, she must have her hearing aid turned on.

This series was totally stupid with no value and no intelligence.

Dennis Penis comes to the face of the unsuspecting celebs?

"People of the same sex don't get married."
"Fathers did."

I mean she said 'parents' earlier, she didn't specify any gender.

I think Ripping yarns has been underrated, the writing, acting and execution of the story is far superior to any present day production, currently you have lowering standards, irritating wokism, and obvious racial preference's have created a toxic and divisive atmosphere in so called modern productions which translate into the programmes they make.
The (unworthy) Hollywood, and most of our self obsessed stars are so inferior it embarrassingly painful to watch.

The dialogue is priceless. So funny.

This was written before Downton Abbey
