t was real life in the Army 1944/45 Far East. My father was there and loved the show as it was / is the only programme based on the Forgotten War

I still occasionally use "Oh dear, how sad, never mind"....🙄

The English made many very good comics, and this one is one of the best ever! Amazing characters and Windsor is fabulous!!

Croft and Perry were brilliant script writers,and they served too!

This was an attempt to upscale the video posted on the official website of the Queen Elisabeth Competition which wasn't 100% successful as the original was low resolution interlaced dv which never takes upscaling particularly well. The close up shots worked better in full upscaling whilst the wider shots not so much so I had to cut between two levels of upscale between the close ups and the wides and even mix metween the two on long zooms.

Thank you for this upload. This is such a beautiful example of great music!

Windsor was a legend. But that snakebelt on the turban still cracks me up to this day.

Sadly the guy guys I know loved this show thought it was great

Shut uuuuup

What a wonderful time to watch TV without all this nonsense today.

They Are All like that….and very witty they are too

When comedy was proper comedy, not like the rubbish they put on the box nowadays.

reminds me of my late grandfather, he was in the RAF and the "Seargent Major" has the same look as him and the same attitude... a great man. the cast of it aint half hot mum were amazing at there roles

Brilliant!. Sadly only those of us with a sense of humour still get it!. It took the P**s out of everyone!. Brilliantly scripted and acted. Nuff said.

Windsor Davis was the best one in this show.

Video not working

What is this documentary? Would love to see the full program.

My father's younger brother (both from Swansea, like Davies), served in the Royal Artillery during WWII. He must have had a BSM very similar to SM Williams. One particular quote sticks in my mind - "Every battery is allowed one painter, one pianist and one poet. The Captain is the painter, the Lieutenant is the pianist and I'm the fucking poet. The rest of you dirty bastards GET YOUR HAIR CUT!"😅

Blatant Poofery 🤣

If they put this on TV now along with Desmond’s, Love Thy Neighbour, The Real McCoy and Goodness Gracious Me they would still be funny. They did more for race relations because they made us laugh a ourselves and appreciate each others humour.

Brilliant show, wish we could get a remake

SIMPLY SIMPLY BRILLIANT

my mate sam. a shik. complained about our middle aged do-gooder busybodies for getting it taken off. him and his mates made a night of it whenever it was on.

i loved watching it aint half hot mum but windsor davies was good as Toby in EVIL OF the daleks in 1967 as well

One of the best lines was .I have never seen such blatant poofery !

A wonderous comical show that I grew up with in the 70'-80's Sadly it couldn't be replicated nowadays, for fear of those who's mission in life is to be offended on behalf of those who don't care, or ironically, find this satire funny regardless

When I was a recruit, being called a puff was the mildest of insults 😂😂😂

The Seargant's admonition of ethnic groups in this series condemns him forever to the woke hall of shame...along with Michael Bates impersonation of a native punkka wallah...sad..pathetic..but true

Absolutely the star of the show !

Comedy BRILLIANCE! Thank God, I have this entire on DVD, because the woke crowd have ensured that it and shows like it will never again be shown on any TV channel. Bless that crowd’s pig ignorant souls ‘for they known not what they do’

Watched these for the first time in early 2000s loved them since... shame the pc brigade got to them

Wouldn't the 3rd series have been better if it had still been CIB but with a new character?

My brother and I are in our twenties, and My dad made us watch this growing up, we still watch the dvds, and clips on youtube.. I still cry with laughter now as much as I did then. So so funny 😂

Micheal Bates was more "Indian" than the ethnic cast, EVEN they said so!! I have the whole series on dvd 😂😂😂

Thanks for posting this up. I completely missed this when it went out. I kind of got into "Between the Lines" a little late, as I only saw the third series(which divides people) - but the love for this particular series has always stayed with me since the 1990s.

What the snowflakes don't seem to realise is that the joke was on the white British "ruling class". The gunners, Char Walla and Punkah Walla always won in the end. It's such a shame that genius like this is now cancelled, but that is also why my BBC license fee is also cancelled.

RIP Sgt. Major Shut up!

He's right when he said all Sgt majors are all like that because they are. They must get given a phrase book because they all use the same sayings.

what's this show?

All we have is WOKE

Brilliant

Comedy just isn’t the same anymore. Back then you would be rolling on the floor laughing. What’s on tv now just doesn’t cut it. Fantastic actor and so funny. RIP, Lovely Boy…

Comedy gold. 🤣

My late father was often mistaken for Battery Sgt Major Williams when he completed 4 year's in the Parachute Regiment. Joined the Light Infantry as a junior nco, and when he reached the rank of colour sgt the lad's in his company said "they've been watching colour sgt at the guard house, Windsor Davies is a mirror image of him " Same height, same barrel chest and facial expressions and voice. And the way he walked around with his stick was the exact same. Bloody hilarious "lovely boy."

Good old cockney Windsor davies

The reason why people loved it was because such a huge slice of the audience knew that the entire British military rested on people acting. Acting more nonchalant, more courageous, more laconic than they actually felt. The Carry On crew did Up the Khyber in exactly the same way. So did Ripping Yarns. It's real - a commando told he's to be shot at St Nazaire, and who says "Oh, dooo shut up and just get on with it" - is keeping the performance going to the possible end. But it's essentially, "I couldn't cope if this was actually me, but I cope in this performance".

TV is atrocious now. Watching programs like this, Only Fools & Horses & countless others 70’ & 80’s tv makes you realise how creative previous generations were. As modern day tv isn’t a patch on it…

He did a voice on silverhawks too
