Great comedy always stays with you

Ooer missus he put on the table , eyes down 😂

They were having trouble not to laugh themselves at one point! Great Acts!

My dad used to love Nearest and Dearest with Jimmy Jewel. She she had such a strong character. I always thought even as a child she had a musical voice, a sort of inherent quality that made her voice sing when she spoke. Kind of hard to explain. But she was bloody good wasn't she!

Walter have u been ,,,😅

Wonderful Hylda - this country's funniest-ever comedienne - went round the theatre circuits for years with her act singing, playing the piano, clog dancing and cracking jokes. Then she saw Arthur Worsley, the absolute best ventriloquist in history, who famously never spoke, his dummy Charlie Brown doing all the talking and uproariously funny, and life changed for diminutive Hylda: she got herself an enormously tall male stooge, called him Cynthia, who also never said a word, while Hylda cracked joke after joke. She did this new act on The Good Old Days tv variety show in 1952, and was, after all those years touring round, an overnight star, which she remained for the rest of her life.

R.I.P Hylda . A really funny woman .

Brilliant 😂

This is british comedy at its best

Hilda baker a complete one off brilliant timing and very funny

Just discovered her, coming from newfoundland,can relate, just wondered why she wasn't part of the carry on gang, but she had more class

Up to your neck in red cabbage

Twiddling his thums

Her father has a pub I see it all now

Well you're bound to be disappointed if you put your faith in crystal balls... LOL Priceless!

Hilda was a comic genuis

this is Not Funny , people must have been so depressed back then . this is untalented badly written if it even had a script which i doubt.. what we have here is a short person talking at a tall person who doesn't talk , so that must be funny .

Memories, just wonderful

Please remove this video before it kills somebody !"£$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$£"! P.S. I was really looking for " She knows, you know .......... "

LOL - Lily's had a lot of experience communicating with the dead married to Walter! LOL Hear that woman laying eggs in the Audience? She was a regular in the audience. Laughter instantly recognised.

Have you been Walter?

Genius😂

Hylda Baker is the ONLY female comedian( comedienne) who ever made me laugh! She was unique in that respect.I have all her TV shows on DVD,the Jimmy Jewel question.....i never knew he was bitter or jealous of Hylda,i always thought of him as Hylda's straight man.Whatever the behind the scenes quabbles nothing takes away Hyldas comedic genius! She was and still is! Hilarious!😊😊😅😅

She was HILARIOUS,a true legend of comedy.

Our eli

It's all shite today; they get awards for just saying their lines! They don’t make them like this anymore - comedy greats/classics! The one in the fur coat (Fanny Carby) later played Vera Duckworth’s mother in Coronation Street!

A style of comedy now consigned to the past. A shame really, as it still stands up today. I recall seeing her on tv as a kid.

My hero

We will never see the like again 😥

😂 we were just talking about this couple … so pleased she’s out there on the tinterweb!!

Her timing and expertise is second to none.

Loved this show 😂

I like this there is more like this 😂

She is supreme! No one could touch her ! Her acting was incredible ❤

She was incredible…I still laugh at her catch phrases … especially.. “ I must get a little hand put n this watch”!! One of the funniest comedy lines EVER

Hylda had very sad demise. She always dreaded having dementia like her father. Eventually she ended up in a care home, without any recollection of who she was, even when watching herself on tv. When she died it practically went unnoticed in the press with only a handful of mourners. She was cremated in London and her ashes were scattered in the same place as her family in the North. A brilliant actress...

There will never be another Hylda Baker. God bless her soul.

it annoys me so when "The Best Comedy" lists appear its Fawlty Towers this and Dibley that. this along with Steptoe are the 2 best

I remember seeing her on the Nottingham stage early 1950s hilarious

Thanks for the laughs Hilda , God bless you .

Good old Hilda Baker always made everyone laugh 😃 RIP "what are you trying to insert"

She’s stood standing there with an apron on and he’s telling her to get her knickers off! 😂

I've been waiting till 3am to watch some episodes, channel 65, Can't get back to sleep Why isn't it shown at a decent time 😭😭

Spoilt by stupid woke ads

HYLDA BAKER, THE FUNNIEST LADY THAT THE WHOLE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN EVER. MY MUM WAS CALLED HILDA AS YOU CAN SEE WITH AN i. BEEN WATCHING NEAREST AND DEAREST ON THAT’S TV ON FREEVIEW CHANNEL 65 THESE PAST FEW WEEK'S. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FEMALE AS FUNNIER AS OUR HYLDA. I GENUINELY REALLY WISHED SHE WAS STILL ALIVE NOW. R.I.P TO A COMEDY GENIUS. I MUST GET A NEW SECOND HAND FOR THIS WATCH WHILE I'M SAT SITTIN HERE AR ELI

I’m sat sitting here wondering if Nellie ever got round to getting a little hand for that watch of hers 😂😂

I wish she was still hear bless her. Such a funny lady and a great actress.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
