Not really a spoiler but since its funny don’t want to ruin the joke
But the security sounded serious. Was it a power play or are things really that precious?!

As soon as I heard him say that I was instantly pissed off. Who the fuck is he to say how loud you can knock it’s a fucking knocker he didn’t do it on purpose. What a wanker!
I’m guessing it was in jest but if they are serious about that bs the they need to have a knocker that will only knock at a top decibel.
What a way to spoil the mood of someone who comes to visit like this. It wasn't even loud. I would have turned around and left.
He's trained to smell the non-upper class on them and treat them accordingly
Yuck, i think you're right. That's why it rubbed me so wrong.
Except I think Charlie is very upper class!
I wanted him to say "no worries" and walk off.
The door is basically an antique and they can see you on the camera. The knocking is just for show.
That being said the guy was still being a tosser.
'Then don't have a massive door knocker on there you ding!' Would have been my response.
No it isn't. The door to Number 10 has been a series of steel blast door replicas since 1991. The original wooden door dating to the early 18th century is now an exhibit in the Cabinet War Rooms museum.
"steel blast doors" - cripes, how loud are people knocking?
At the height of the Troubles the IRA attacked Downing Street with a homemade rocket launcher; as a result the entire building was refitted with bombproof windows and doors. So — very loudly.
Didn't see the people who followed them in though, almost closed the door on them
Dude got so excited about his little power play he screwed his only job up on camera lol
Oy you knock that loud again I’ll throw you out in the street!
That was what irritated me. Maybe it is me being to german, but my instant response was "Why the fuck would I knock again? I am already inside and probably not visiting again? There is no point in you making a fuss"
I’m English and it annoyed me too. The bloke telling them off is some jobsworth whose sole job is to open a bloody door for far more important people than himself yet feels he has to act important. Truth is if he says that to the wrong person they will be moved to bin emptying duty by the end of the day
It's just the only fucking thing he has any authority over and the only way he gets to control other people. He is literally an automated door opener eligebile for a pension. His whole work life is dictated by other people. He can't decide anything on his own.
He needs to tell of people, because that is the only moment he can actually act instead of react.
His Job has already been automated and the only reason he has his job, is because the authenticy of the door is valued higher then the cost of labour of him standing there.
He isn't even in this position because he is important enough/good enough to be the door opener, he is in this position because the door is.
That must be depressing.
It being heard on television probably was enough to demote if not fire him
Most likely. The people knocking the door would not be there unless they have already been verified several times and are already allowed in. The bloke doesn’t even make the decision whether or not they are allowed in. That would have already been done way before they got to the door. The man’s sole job is to open it and he’s probably blown that by being overly aggressive on tv at one of the most prestigious locations in the UK
A logical contradiction, as one must be in the street to knock.
dude is a few crumpets away from exploding like Creosote in MP's The Meaning of Life xD no wonder he's so angry
Op: I don’t want to ruin the joke
u/shocontinental: hold my beer
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that! Some people really are so desperate to be involved that they don't stop to think!
Security guy is a fucking loser lmao
"Downing Street Door Police" xD, would've loved to see Jeremy's first reaction to that clip
Thats the uk for ya. Will completely destroy british agricultural industry but protect an antique door knob with their life 🤣
I think the 'antique door knob' is at risk of being fired.
🤣🤣 Well it is a bit loud
You know those aren’t mutually exclusive right?
Yep. But I also know we favour tradition over innovation sometimes. I know it's a stupid jovial comment though
Oi m8 ave u got a permit for that jovial comment then?
Just a hint - if any of you made a jovial comment again, I'll throw you out.
I thought there was supposed to be a copper outside who does the knocking for you.
The door usually gets opened as someone approaches. I've no idea why they were in a position to need to knock.
So they could be filmed knocking on the door for the show.
There are clips from the day of the event showing that they filmed it more than once.
I'd imagine if that guy's still there and if they didn't know about it already, he's getting a bollocking.
Yeah I'd love to see the door police try to throw you out when you're a guest of the PM. What an absolute power tripping clown.
I’ve been, long time ago. There really are people like that there. Total entitled knobs who treat visitors like scum.
mans head is big because he works the door at 10 downing lol probably some military bloke who votes tory
edit: uh oh looks like ive triggered some conservative feelings
He'll be police.
Wtf did you feel the need to say "votes Tory"? Are you after some upvotes?
it's typical of the smoothies to try to control people like that
You think the only people who vote labour are… intelligent? lol bro hate to break it to you, there are dumb fucks on all sides of the political sphere lol
scale certainly favours tory though lol
If you knock too loud you might wake someone up, and they might actually have to do their job!
I got mad at this and came here to see if it had been mentioned. Why's the knocker so fucking big then? What a plum.
What an absolute twat of a man! Should of said give me my own key then you stuck up power tripping tosser.
I’m glad I found this thread. I saw this episode and thought to myself “who does that fat piece of shit think he is? They’re guests of the prime minister and he speaks to them like that?” If this wasn’t a staged incident I hope that tub of lard gets axed. What a power trip for a fucking glorified doorman.
He's just your average power-tripping door man.
He said it to Caleb and he wasn’t even the one who knocked.
If I was Caleb I would have said how can I knock the door again when I’m inside the building you pleb.
