As a professional scallywag . I object to this.

Thanks to whoever is posting these..... you have sincerely made my day! I’m now forcing them on my Canadian friends....

"hand over your perishing lolly, or face a bit of rough and tumble"

Glad to see the various classes in the hierarchy know their places & respond appropriately, making it quite safe to proceed out of a winter`s evening, Mr Cholmondley-Warner

It's a good job KZread is around or these clips would be just memories.

A most splendid tutorial of a visual nature on the bases of self-defense. I am thoroughly reassured that their application against any ruffian one might encounter when one is about one's business of a winter's evening will bring an unwelcome confrontation with a chunky desperado to a favourable conclusion for all concerned.

There's something very "Dad's Armyish" about this film. Apart from the way that the characters speak, you can imagine Captain Mainwaring showing it to his platoon while training them to deal with any German paratroopers they might meet in a dark alley

That's what has disappeared from lots of shows today...really good writing.

As a chunky desperado I am most displeased. This informative and educational tidbit will make my larcenous behavior most difficult to uphold. Blimey.

Blimy! Stone me if me blasted centre of gravity ain't not been disorientated.

"Blimey, stone me if me blasted centre of gravity ain't been disorientated."

“Alright chummy, hand over your perishing lolly, or face a bit of rough and tumble.”

"A chunky desperado confronts you with larcenous intent" may be one of my favourite statements ever

Well, one has to say that one has learned a great deal of useful information from this splendid educational short film; I shall be studying it diligently and applying the techniques in my everyday life in the most appropriate ways when accosted by scallywags, ruffians and ne´er-do-well vagabonds of all persuasions.

Harry Enfield is a national treasure. Unique talent.

"Where the devils me intended victim opted to?"

"A chunky desperado confronts you with larcenous intent". Brilliant!!

Probably the most ingenious of Enfield's sketches, absolutely classic

Cor chummy - what a great perishin' sketch, and no mistake.

Still hilarious after all these years
