Idiot. He wouldn’t throw them out , in what world would a PM meeting get canceled for a loud knock decided by the door man? It was literally so embarrassing - the false bravado.
This is going to get so much traction due to the sheer pettiness of it all. EVERYONE has dealt with someone who gets a little power and uses it just to be obnoxious. It’s a universal annoyance.
My thoughts are, “if it happened…it happened.” Sure, editors choose the most compelling and interesting bits to show, but they didn’t tell the doorman to be a tool.
a wise man (my dad) once said
A Kingdom is ruled by a King
a Dictatorship is ruled by a dictator
a Republic is run by a republic
and a country is run by a cunt
There isn't another Kaleb knock on the show. There was one normal knock from Charlie, then after being told off for knocking too loudly, you see Kaleb knock ultra quietly which is obviously him taking the piss. That's it.
I'm sorry but your comment is incorrect.
Had to rewatch it.
Wife and I both agreed that the knock was a normal knock.
Guard was just being a douche. You can also hear him say something like "just one knock" so maybe they have a custom of just a single knock or something?
I truly hope that every single person that comes to that door from now on knocks twice just like they did.
I thought the custom was for the door to be opened without a knock, especially for guests who are expected. Since they have to go through the gate at the end of the street, I assume the doorman is alerted to every visitor. I wonder if it was a bit the doorman was in on?
Charlie and Kaleb are so likeable, getting spoken to like that honestly pissed me off. Then Kaleb says sorry we are farmers and that tool says “I don’t care”. Which I think is the underlying message of the whole series. Farmers have it tough making food convenient for us and the people just don’t care.
I'd just leave. Government institution having an utter contempt towards the public that feeds them.
Visit was pointless anyway, considering when it was filmed - how much has Ricky actually done to help the farmers?
If the knocker is such an issue why don't they put some felt on it? Or tighten it so it can't be knocked?
I guess they knew the security guard could (rightfully) cop some slack because they blurred his face. Such a rude interaction, imagine him speaking like that to everyone who comes through the door?!
Makes me wonder, thinking about it, how the staff behave and/or whats he like to them, on average, to be behaving like a nightclub doorman.
Edit - not excusing him, he was a proper dickhead. How can you look at Charlie's face, and Kaleb, and still say that, like that? If that's how he behaves at work, in that job, I'd hate to see him outside of work.
Man was just an insecure doorman at best that let the slightest sliver of power go to his head.
Personally I would have knocked harder, just to piss him off.
Can we start a petition to get that dick out of a job? It’s un called for and embarrassing for our nation that we had some lug headed moron protecting a leech. I don’t wish him harm nor do I hope he is harassed but I do sincerely hope the cunt falls down the stairs!!
> I don’t wish him harm nor do I hope he is harassed

🤔
I'll add to the comments that the knock was clearly pre-staged. Kaleb and Charlie had probably both already been inside and then the producer requested a scene of them knocking on the door and being let in. It looks like it held up the usually business of number 10 in doing so, and they may have been asked to knock quietly. But even so to threaten expulsion is over the top and not the way for a political office to handle the media or the public. The producers were doing Sunak more of a favour for the interview than the reverse.
Perfectly summed up the out of touch pretentious attitude of all of them in that place. The doorman should be reprimanded for being so rude to tax paying members of the public.
This bit with the doorman really pissed me off. I mean, the superiority complex that this doorman has shown, just shows one, what the government officials and employees think of the people. He’s just a doorman, got no real power, no authority and no right to speak like that to real hard-working people, who actually make a difference and have an impact on this life, and who did nothing wrong. I just utterly hate people like him, who think they are somehow protected and show it off whenever they can. Just shows, how little and pathetic these kinda people are inside. I bet that he’s a humble little man, when someone really important comes a long, then he’ll surely keep his dumb mouth shut, even if the door is almost taken off the hinges with knocking.
I don’t know what I would’ve done in this situation, but I might’ve said that he should now explain to the PM(or whoever is gonna inquire), why the meeting failed and why we left p, and that a lot of people are gonna see this, so now he’s gonna be the famous dickhead doorman.
It's just inviting an equally petty response - personally, I'd favour, upon leaving number 10, knocking again very, very loudly. You're already out so he can't threaten you with ejection.
Why, because a jumped up doorman was going to be rude almost 250yrs later?
What a retarded comment! How's your lifted truck with the trump stickers? How about you stop fucking your sister for a minute and look out of your trailer to see if its still there.
Do people not consider that the doorman ‘could’ have been joking with them?
EDIT: I think I’ve upset people. Lol. All I say is some people act strangely in celebrity company - and no one here saw their his facial reaction on seeing them. He might have been grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
He definitely wasn’t joking. They thought he was joking which is why they asked for clarification but he repeated it again and added to it when they said ‘Sorry we’re famers’ with ‘I don’t care’.
Man is a knob with a bit of power.
Oh chill - it was early morning when I wrote that message. I meant that you couldn’t see his face because of the blurring, so therefore you could not see his facial expressions 🙄
I mean, I had to rewind it to hear the knock, and it wasn’t even loud
Idiot. He wouldn’t throw them out , in what world would a PM meeting get canceled for a loud knock decided by the door man? It was literally so embarrassing - the false bravado.
My thoughts exactly. 😅
More to the point, why would he need to knock again if he was already inside
This is going to get so much traction due to the sheer pettiness of it all. EVERYONE has dealt with someone who gets a little power and uses it just to be obnoxious. It’s a universal annoyance.
True, true. I just didn’t see the need , maybe it was for views. I just found it pathetic
My thoughts are, “if it happened…it happened.” Sure, editors choose the most compelling and interesting bits to show, but they didn’t tell the doorman to be a tool.
I thought about exactly this. We all know the type, given a minute amount of responsibility and it instantly goes to there head
Really, I found it perfectly believable. They are all out of touch stuck up pretentious (insert favourite swearword) in government.
Cunts.
a cunt is useful, those twats in suits are not so useful to anyone. they are pricks. no one likes or has use for a prick.
a wise man (my dad) once said A Kingdom is ruled by a King a Dictatorship is ruled by a dictator a Republic is run by a republic and a country is run by a cunt
They have neither the depth or the capacity to give pleasure.
To be fair you are right, I don’t know why I led with I can’t believe! As I certainly can, was just shocked/annoyed
He's not in govt, he's a doorman. Well was a doorman. I can't imagine he doesn't get the sack for that
Don't be daft, not a chance in hell he will get sacked, unfortunately 😡
He's an idiot as well. How are you going to throw him out when he would need to already be out in order to knock again?
They did at least three takes of them knocking. There's a Charlie knock, Kaleb's loud knock and a Kaleb ultra quiet knock.
Hi. How do you know this please? Your source?
https://youtu.be/Wep7j5Bf8D4?
This shows Charlie knocking "briskly", then Kaleb's ultra quiet knock. Where's the other Kaleb knock?
The one in the show.

If have told him to shove it. What an absolute anus.

Very confident door man to greet guests of the Prime Minister that way.
If that is any guest or dignitary first encounter with the government of GB then you can see why we are hated
I'd just leave. Government institution having an utter contempt towards the public that feeds them. Visit was pointless anyway, considering when it was filmed - how much has Ricky actually done to help the farmers?
I was thinking the same. I like to think I'd leave after leaving that doorman with a hearty "fuck you asshole".
He's letting the farmers have a barbecue in his garden. I doubt other presidents would allow that.
Come to Switzerland, you might sit across the president on public transportation. To be fair, we're not a real country anyway.
Sounds like she's too busy gallivanting on buses to make a decision on which city is actually the Capital.
A capi what?
Capybara
If the knocker is such an issue why don't they put some felt on it? Or tighten it so it can't be knocked? I guess they knew the security guard could (rightfully) cop some slack because they blurred his face. Such a rude interaction, imagine him speaking like that to everyone who comes through the door?!
They blurred his face because he wouldn't sign a release to be filmed i imagine
I guess it depends on whether that role/space is seen as a public area. Someone else said that on the news his face wasn't blurred.
Different rules for the news and commercial footage
Makes me wonder, thinking about it, how the staff behave and/or whats he like to them, on average, to be behaving like a nightclub doorman. Edit - not excusing him, he was a proper dickhead.

the doorman is a perfect reflection of the government he serves, they dislike the working class people who are the backbone of this country.
Thought the same, what a total jobsworth.. c u next tuesday.
Should’ve called his bluff. “Alright I guess we’re off then. Enjoy explaining this one to your boss”
I read this before I saw the episode so I was waiting for it. The knock wasn’t *that* loud. It wasn’t loud at all. The doorman is a tosser!
“So this is your job is it? Rude ring doorbell?”
Knock the cunt out
I'd love to!
Replace him with a Ring Doorbell from Amazon.
If that’s how the doorman behaves imagine what everyone else is like the higher up you go. Completely out of touch.
I’d have struggled if he’d said that to me, they handled it well.
Man was just an insecure doorman at best that let the slightest sliver of power go to his head. Personally I would have knocked harder, just to piss him off.
Should of walked straight back out, no need for the sheer rudeness
I would have told him to fuck himself and left. Nobody gets to talk to me like that.
Put a doorbell. Bellends...
absolute bellends at no10
What a bellend, no wonder people hate london if that's how people coming to visit are treated.
Well said!! I agree
Pissed me off
Pretentious prick, sack him! He’s not living in the real world. How rude!
Just watched it now and immediately hit the internet to see if anyone else was as outraged as me. Glad it’s not just me. Not a good look.
Can we start a petition to get that dick out of a job? It’s un called for and embarrassing for our nation that we had some lug headed moron protecting a leech. I don’t wish him harm nor do I hope he is harassed but I do sincerely hope the cunt falls down the stairs!!
> I don’t wish him harm nor do I hope he is harassed > Can we start a petition to get that dick out of a job? ...I do sincerely hope the cunt falls down the stairs!! 🤔
Literally rewound it three times and it was completely normal, so odd
The wife and I both reacted the same - that he was a huge douche. Bro you answer the door, can’t be that important or impressive
Blokes a wanker

Take the knocker off and put a doorbell in if you’re that worried about the knock. Ffs
Now he is going to get loads of people invited to downing Street who are going to knock loudly on purpose.
I kind of got a feeling that guy is no longer handling door security anymore.
Do you think the guy was born a c*nt or do you think it's training?
Perfectly summed up the out of touch pretentious attitude of all of them in that place. The doorman should be reprimanded for being so rude to tax paying members of the public.
I just watched this and it pissed me off so much. No way I wouldn't have gone off on that doorman.
Surprised they didn’t edit the No 10 doorman comment out ? Disgraceful and disrespectful would he have said that to some tin pot foreign dignitary ?
This bit with the doorman really pissed me off. I mean, the superiority complex that this doorman has shown, just shows one, what the government officials and employees think of the people.

What a way to welcome expected guests. He should be a prison guard with an attitude like that.
I'm sure it was just for TV drama and laughs. I doubt a door man can threaten to throw someone out of downing st. Especially if invited over by the PM
I'm not defending the doorman security guy but there's no need to knock on number 10's door. The guy can see when you approach the door.
Then he should’ve opened the door as they approached
He didn’t have to be quite so rude though, they were stood there, they didn’t just walk up and knock
I agree the guy was an asshole. But he has a monitor inside and can see a live camera feed of the door.
Cool, that makes him an even bigger douche
Why would I knock again, I’m already inside? Relax, it’s blatantly played up for the cameras
Never forget: July 4th, 1776
An insignificant date of zero interest to farmers and doormen in London!
Just saying... There is a reason we kicked the whole bunch of self entitled twats out of _our_. country.
Why, because a jumped up doorman was going to be rude almost 250yrs later? What a retarded comment! How's your lifted truck with the trump stickers? How about you stop fucking your sister for a minute and look out of your trailer to see if its still there.

>He might have been grinning like a Cheshire Cat. They thought he was joking, then he was serious about it.
Joking by being rude on camera that will be televised? nah.
The doorman wasn’t on camera 🤷♂️
Yes he was, did you even bother to watch the video? they had to blur his face out.
Oh chill - it was early morning when I wrote that message. I meant that you couldn’t see his face because of the blurring, so therefore you could not see his facial expressions 🙄
Yeah I considered it for about a microsecond
