Divine isn’t it

Armando Iannucci is a genius

RIP Hugh (1913-2004) Absolute legend.

A work of sheer genius... 'in those days the internet was in black and white, it was only on for 3 hours a day...we used to get dressed up in our sunday best to log on to it'

I know this already.

cheeseburgers were a penny then...

my favourites: "You couldn't just jump into bed with a lady back then. You'd go along to her house and ask her parents if you could knock her up, and get her on crack." "We never had Feng Shui in those days, so we put all our cupboards in the wrong place, and as a result all our businesses went bust. And that was the start of the great depression."

"Chris Evans...till he disappeared up his own arse" about frigging right!

i love the way he says "junglist mash-up"

His demeanor and accent is just perfect I particularly like the idea of a coin with Jabba the Hutt on one side and Queen Victoria on the other... I'm told Doctor Who has one...

Iannucci... " I suppose it was very exciting in the Old Days, when new things came out..." Love those dead-pan, polite,questions... the TONE and content is great!

I remember when it was still Jungle :'( Those were the days !

Yeah proper dark, old school and hardcore stuff, before the polo-neck wearing, trendy, Hoxton set took over and made it all “conceptual” and “ambient” and lame sounding.

There's one missing? "Concordes! They were great planes! We used to call them "Cracked tubes of death!" I think it was cut out of the C4 showing coming so soon after the first ever (and last) Concorde crash but it's on the DVD..

Well spotted.

Today I listened to a radio interview on the D Day celebrations & there was a chap speaking who sounded exactly like Hugh. Every single word!

Just magnificent. RIP Hugh.

Hugh smells of memories

reminds me of the brass eye sketch about theft, the old woman remembering that "back in the old days locks were made of a sort of....paper"

i can't stop watching this

Jesus I still piss myself at this, I've watched it dozens of times "We'd sing peter Andre songs and show off our pecs" R.I.P Hugh

Thanks a lot for compiling these MisterSix. This was unforgettable comedy!

Cheers MisterSix! These sketches are absolutely brilliant, now I can email this to all my friends. Every day.

For an old boy he knows how to memorise a script.

1942 was my gap-year. Quality!

Haven't laughed so much in years. Absolutely brilliant character that Hugh. Too many classics in there to mention.

Classic - Thanks for the compilation

brilliant

Hugh - a legend.

...you would take her along to a Junglist Mash-Up. It was called Jungle then, not Drum and Bass, that came later.

The internet was in black and white - spat my bear out. Damn I was here seven years ago.... just saw my old comment

Absolute class! 10 on 10

"Turn all of the lights our and chew polystyrene" Bahahahahaha bloody brilliant !!

Absolute Genius..

Hugh Smells of memories..

This is becoming real.

Rest in peace Hugh. x

i love my grandad

Hugh Cecil can also be seen in the background in several episodes of Dad's Army and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I've suggested the armando iannucci shows to every American reactor I can find on here, because its so good and underrated. Still no ones picked it up unfortunately 😕

Timeless - and it gets more relevant the older I get! 'Someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success. So we all celebrated by running out and killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit'

hugh smells of memories !!

For the love of all things sacred, do not scroll down below this comment.

speechless

Hugh was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

"Oh Hello Hugh.. I was just wondering if we are all drowing in Porn" -- Laugh time.. 2 minutes at least... some barking noises.

I've seen this tons of times but never noticed the 'Lily Savage and Kirsty Young' joke. Lmao.

Huzzah, well said. Hugh Cecil was a superb comedy actor for many decades. I think you're right about it being profound in all of those ways. It'd be a disservice to older people to treat them like they have no bloody awareness, that they always have to be stoic and defiant. They're people, not another species. Stories make the news because they're the exception not the norm. No less disgusting, but I think you'll find there's more repsect than the Daily Mail narrative likes to present Whitney...

"hugh smells of memories" pahahaha

hello hugh!!

"It was very different...we never had sushi, I mean we had to improvise; so we would go to the fish shop and used to say 'don't bother frying it', or my mother used to make sushi out of corned beef".

"my mother would make some sushi out of corned beef" hahahahahaha

Good work, MisterSix. Aaah . . . but what about, "Well, we never had feng shui in those days, so we put all our cupboards in the wrong place. As a result, all our businesses went bust. That was the start of the Great Depression."?

Oh... I thought it was Uncle Junior on the thumbnail.

This is the level of elder wisdom that I aspire.

Wasn't there a Feng Shui one where he said people putting their boxes in the wrong places made their businesses go bust?

in the episode that that part of the clip comes from Armando had been beaten up i think...

its the upright cardboard base king bling bling baby bling bling!

it was jungle then, not drum and bass, that came later

@penchanskii I think I recently saw him in the 'audience' as an extra in 'The All New Alexei Sayle Show' show from '94. It's quite hard to tell if it's him but probably is... pointless info or what :)

Maybe he's remembering lines! If you can believe that.

order a gas mask and a pound of tripe lmao

amazing what wiki can tell you but lets get back to the upright base video and how sad it is to watch one on the internet,whats your take on this i need your feed back please?

And if they said yes, you'd take her along to a Junglist mash-up. It was called Jungle then, not Drum 'n' Bass; that came later.

Because he'd been getting shot at a wall three times a week in that episode.

I wonder how Hugh is doing now

"Back then the internet was black and white"

Isn't there another one where he talks about going everywhere by concorde?

We called them 'cracked tubes of death'

thought so...

whys the talk show dudes face all messed up in like 3:30-3:40?

corned beef sushi

haha, how come he had blood on his face just randomly?

@pstm1 I know.

@filmnet it makes absolutely no difference to me whether he was or he wasn't. he wass an extremely old man who played it perfectly

Gas masks and a pound of tripe :) those were the days.

jabba the hutt lol

I wonder how old Hugh really is?!?

@mrmungo97 yeah

As aforementioned, it's called a bass. What exactly about it offends you so much? I'll relay your creative suggestions to the person who made it. What have you made recently, apart from a fool of yourself?

"It was called jungle then, not drum and bass" forest drive west brought me here xD

the internet was in black and white and only on 3 hours per day. ha ha

Gotta love Hugh! one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success....so we all celebrated by killing an ostrich.

in those days the internet was black and white.... lol! ...(actually black and green?) :-P

he was very good... until he dissapeared up his own arse! GOLD!!!

This isn't taking the piss out of old people: it's not as if this guy really thinks those things, I'd wager there's no-one in the entire world who actually thinks anything like what Hugh says is true.. This is scripted. It simply portrays an articulate, interesting, funny, intelligent old man and an excellent actor. I called you an idiot because you are the one belittling the aged- you would deprive us of 'Hugh's' fine performance. P.S. I don't know what subscribers are.

Junglist Mash-up!

not drum and bass, tat came later

I remember when Britain still had mostly Britons living here! Had to finish with that eh?

Still does

ahahaha gap year

So, by your logic, we can never ever show old people having a laugh, they can only be filmed if they are in 'profound' scenarios. No old people in comedy. Do you cry out in indignant rage when ever Last Of The Summer Wine comes on. Further more, even if I agree with your old people/profound material rule, this is still okay because I think it is profoundly: profoundly inventive, profoundly imaginative, profoundly interesting, profoundly fun and it challenges our preconceptions.

"Some quote from the clips we just watched which I hope will make me incredibly popular and get the most likes." Sigh.

@panasonicyouth1985 arse

bass plural of bass (Noun) Noun A voice, instrument, or sound of the lowest range, in particular. The common European freshwater perch.

This is what you're gonna sound like to your grandkids; get used to the idea: "I'm so old I can remember when it was still the 20th Century! I remember it BEFORE it was the 02 Arena! I can remember King William's great-gran Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother living to be 101 years old still drinking G&T's everyday! I remember when Britain still had mostly Britons living here!"

“I remember when Britain still had mostly Britons living here”.....oh dear, and you were doing so well. What a shame.

In view of the recent Council elections and the sort of OTT rhetoric that gets thrown around, just thought I'd throw in one really hyperbolic statement that some people might actually think IS going to happen. And, depending on whether there ever will be a EU referendum, maybe it might. Eastern Europeans immigrating, indigenous Brits emigrating. That's what they say they'll do, anyway.
