The sketch was written by [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]], [[John Cleese]], [[Graham Chapman]] and [[Marty Feldman]] and originally performed in 1967 on their TV series ''[[At Last the 1948 Show]]''. It later became associated with the comedy group [[Monty Python]] (which included Cleese and Chapman), who performed it in their live shows, including ''[[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl]]''.&lt;br /&gt;

===''At Last the 1948 Show''===&lt;br /&gt;
The sketch was written as &amp;quot;Good Old Days&amp;quot; and performed for the 1967 British television comedy series ''At Last the 1948 Show'' by the show's four writer-performers: Brooke-Taylor, Cleese, Chapman, and Feldman.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |author1=Morris Bright |author2=Robert Ross |title=Fawlty Towers: fully booked |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AH-FAAAAIAAJ |access-date=29 September 2010 |year=2001 |publisher=BBC |isbn=978-0-563-53439-6 |page=60}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://radiohaha.typepad.com/central/2006/06/episode_1.html#ep1interview Radio interview with Tim Brooke-Taylor] – includes comments about the &amp;quot;''Four Yorkshiremen sketch''&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The story of Britain's favourite sitcom &amp;quot;''Fawlty Towers''&amp;quot;, by Graham McCann, published by Hodder &amp;amp; Stoughton Ltd, England, U.K., in 2007 {{ISBN|978-0-340-89811-6}} (hardback) – {{ISBN|978-0-340-89812-3}} (paperback)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Barry Cryer]] is the wine waiter in the original performance and may have contributed to the writing. The original performance of the sketch by the four creators is one of the surviving sketches from the programme and can be seen on the ''At Last the 1948 Show'' DVD as the closing sketch of series 2, episode 6. Its surviving camera script names the characters as Obadiah, Ezekiel, Josiah, and Hezekiah; but only the names Obadiah and Josiah are used, at the beginning.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://issuu.com/themontypythonmuseum/docs/at_last_the_1948_show_-_s2e6 At last, the 1948 show - Camera script of series 2 episode 6] pp.47-52&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===''I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again''===&lt;br /&gt;
A near derivative of the sketch appears in the BBC Radio show ''[[I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again]]'' Series 7, Episode 5 on 9 February 1969, in which the cast (Cleese, [[Graeme Garden]], [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]], [[Bill Oddie]] and [[David Hatch]]) in the guise of old buffers at a gentlemen's club, employ the same trope of out-doing each other for hardship, this time in the context of how far and how slowly they had to walk to get to various places in former days. It ends with the same payoff line &amp;quot;...and if you tell that to the young people today, they won't believe you...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Monty Python ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cleese and Chapman were later among the founding members of the comedy group Monty Python. The &amp;quot;Four Yorkshiremen&amp;quot; sketch has been performed by Python during their live shows ''[[Monty Python Live at Drury Lane|Live at Drury Lane]]'' (1974, no video recording available), ''[[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl|Live at the Hollywood Bowl]]'' (1982) and ''[[Monty Python Live (Mostly)]]'' (2014, performed at [[The O2 Arena]]), each performance varying slightly in its content. (Tim Brooke-Taylor and Marty Feldman receive special thanks in the closing credits of ''Live at the Hollywood Bowl'' due to the inclusion of the sketch.) The performers in each case were Chapman (replaced by Cleese in the 2014 performance), [[Eric Idle]], [[Terry Jones]] and [[Michael Palin]] (Palin is the only member of the group actually from Yorkshire). It was also performed by Cleese, Jones, Palin and [[Rowan Atkinson]] for ''[[The Secret Policeman's Ball (1979)|The Secret Policeman's Ball]]'', the 1979 [[Amnesty International]] benefit gala.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The sketch was revived for the 2001 Amnesty show ''[[The Secret Policeman's Balls#XII: We Know Where You Live (2001)|We Know Where You Live]]'', performed by [[Harry Enfield]], [[Alan Rickman]], [[Eddie Izzard]] and [[Vic Reeves]]. In 1989, the script was published in the charity fundraiser ''The Utterly, Utterly Amusing and Pretty Damn Definitive [[Comic Relief]] Revue Book'' under the title &amp;quot;The Good Old Days&amp;quot;, with the characters named as Joshua, Obadiah, Josiah and Ezekiel. This book was launched on an edition of the primetime chat show ''[[Wogan]]'' where the sketch was performed by [[Terry Wogan]], [[Stephen Fry]], [[Gareth Hale]] and [[Norman Pace]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the mid-1990s, the Hungarian comedy group [[:hu:Holló Színház|Holló Színház]] translated and performed an adapted version of the sketch, substituting &amp;quot;four millionaires&amp;quot; for the Yorkshiremen. The sketch had a particular resonance for older Hungarians because, from the immediate post-war period into the 1950s, exaggerating the level of your family's poverty and [[Proletariat#Usage in Marxist theory|proletarian]] origins was a common practice to gain favour with [[Hungarian Working People's Party|Communist]] authorities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqyLZfZHbgU |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/VqyLZfZHbgU |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live|title=Four Yorkshiremen|last=undoojoo|date=11 March 2007|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2015 the sketch was revived and adapted in a live television performance for [[Red Nose Day 2015]] by [[Davina McCall]], [[John Bishop]], [[David Walliams]] and Eddie Izzard, in which they exaggerate what they did to raise money for charities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2015/comic-relief-face-the-funny|title=Comic Relief Face The Funny: Red Nose Day 13 March 2015|date=3 March 2015 |publisher=BBC Media Centre |access-date=15 October 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
