This mixture of comedy and sombre moments is what makes a lot of British comedy stand out from the crowd imo.
Still Game is one of (if not the best) British sit-coms ever. Amazing writing, great acting and characterisations. I somehow enjoy the poignant moments the best, they give the comedy, which is fantastic, a framework and foundation. I love all the episodes, especially 'Hyper' which is coming up. The final episode I believe will have you in tears, the ending is quite simply, incredible and beautiful.
They milked the series, should of ended sooner.
@krisyflynt9211 agreed they should have stopped when they original stopped. Season 6 I think. Can't remember if they stopped before that but the last 3 sessions when they came back in HD weren't great. Same jokes used over and over, and the plots of the episodes ended up bizarre rather than the old way of being some what realistic and to a point heart warming. The equivalent of the Simpsons downfall. Which is a shame because they really made something amazing in the first 6 seasons.
Scottish comedy
It’s fantastic but doesn’t hold a candle to Fawlty Towers IMO
It's Scottish.
Hello Eclectic. You do have a voice for radio. The word eclectic truly represents who you are. Your range of topics and especially your interests and your dissertation on subjects is quite incredible.................especially for an American. Please don't be offended by the 'American' bit. let's face it. There aren't many Americans that I know of or who I've met in Europe who know half the things you've voluntarily delved into and have had the time and inclination to promote and appreciate. There are other cultures around the world, and you've had the decency and foresight to acknowledge them and promote them. A lot of Americans in my experience, generally don't know or care what's happening in the next parish, never mind the next country. You Sir are a breath of fresh American air which I never thought existed in the 2000's. Under McCarthy you'd have been 'Tapped' and monitored. Thankfully he's long dead, and the notion of an American looking beyond his / her borders while promoting foreign points of view has reached beyond their reach and as long as you're not fomenting revolution or any form of radicalism........................under their rules and shifting definitions...................you're now allowed to promote American's looking beyond the confines of the cage of filthy lucre and being 'A Winner' ! Love your show, especially your intellectual appreciation of Still Game and Open all hours. Your list is endless, but these titles stand out. Keep it up. I watch you regularly and laugh even harder when I see you laugh uncontrollably at stuff I've grown up with and am reminded how lucky I was growing up in an era when comedy was no more dangerous than........comedy ! Greetings from Dublin, Ireland..........not Texas !! Regards Ian Davis.
We did reportedly tell ye that you'd get hooked on this show, the writing is quite brilliant in its ability to deal with the tougher aspects of life as well as the hilarious escapades of our favourite pensioners. Still a joy to share a wee insight into our way of life and how confront it.
Thoroughly enjoyable, keep them coming pal 🤘
your really deep man ..watched this show about 20 times but you give it a new dimension with your reviews ..got me thinking
The fact the music for Tommy was replaced/removed really takes you out that moment
Yeah there's a few scenes where that's the case. I've still got all the original series on DVD somewhere so I can hear the original songs.
Yeah I was shocked when me and my dad saw that Netflix had done that!😡
I mean it ruins, the whole bloody joke at the end!
Yeah, this is from one of the dvd releases where they were all edited because they didnt gave clearance to release them on the dvd. Music copyright reasons. Basically the BBC couldnt be arsed to pay out for them. They did the same with the theme tune for still game aswell. There was a different theme song on some of them. Its the same with a movie called coast to coast. It was a BBC movie from the 80s and starred lenny henry and the guy who played lex luthor in the 90s. The film centred around 1960s soul music, and theres loads on it. But the film was only made for tv, so the bvc didnt pay gor any future release rights, which would have been around £20k at the t8me, do they said no. It turned out that despite lenny henry being in it, it was an amazing film, and it should of had a cinema release. But it hasnt been on tv since 1987, and cant be released because they didnt want to pay out for music rights, also because they thought it was only goid enough for tv, they didnt pay out for future release righrs for the cast because that would have required them signing on for more wages if it was released. So, a really good movie wont ever be released because the BBC is tight fisted with our money, unless its or paying millions of OUR money for the same logo that theyve been using for 25+ years! The new logo is no f*****g different, the cheeky bastards. I want a refund!
But yeah, the BBC make some amazing tv, but they dont have any respect for the things they make. They deleted thousands of episodes of comedy shows, doctor who, other 50s, 60s and 70s stuff. No respect at all.
Just in case anyone wants to watch that lenny henry movie, search for 'coast to coast 1987 lenny henry' on CZcams and it's there. Luckily someone recorded it on a betamax tape when it aired and they converted t and you can watch it on CZcams. Its of decent watchable quality and well worth a view.
damn i thought music that old would be public domain by now
Ano even the song when Jack and Victor were dancing wasn't the right one hate when Netflix does that in other countries
“Am Agnes!” 😂💀
The Navid examination is hilarious. Reminds me of a story my mate told when of he was in hospital a few years back and the nurse had to give him a (fairly large) suppository, understandably he wasn't too keen on the idea but it was over fairly quickly and without the anticipated discomfort, once she'd popped it in she apparently leaned in and whispered in his ear "don't say i'm not good to you" 😂😂
I love how this show has these little moments where it shows how much the community cares for each other. I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but a lot of other reactors have had problems uploading to CZcams because of copyright once they get to about series 7
EB, you have a perfect voice for radio. I'd happily listen to you! Love from Birmingham, England :-)
16:00 Navid - a Muslim - shouting "JESUS" - is so funny and wholesome.
Much love from Scotland bro, I’ve been watching your still game reactions so much 🤣
I WORKED IN MY UNIVERSITY FOR RADIO STATION. PLAYED AND COMMENTED ON 60-80'S ROCK N ROLL🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤🎷🎷🎷
The radio stations in Glasgow's hospitals are usually called radio lollipop, well last time i checked anyway. Although i think that may have only been in the children's hospital.
They had it in yorkhull hospital not sure about other hospitals
@@DJDonnelly Aye that's were i remember it from, Yorkhills gone now, well the kids hospital part, think it moved to Queen Elizebeth hospital now i think and radio lollipop still there.
@@garymcatear822 Alright cool. I I used to go there that's how I remember it
@@DJDonnelly Me tae but not for me, ma boy when he was a baby
Thanks man. Definitely a great episode. 😎 You summed it up perfectly about the mix of writing style that makes it feel so real. Cheers!
You are without a doubt my favourite CZcamsr Beardy boy 🏴💙💙💙
EB👍cheers mate, you've made a lot of people's day with this gem, nice one take care and cheers✌️🍻
Awright big yin, luv yer content, it's pure quality. Much luv frum sunny Glasvegas!
One of the best things when they do introduce a new character. They reappear. Like Barbras sister/ the bar man that auditioned for the quiz/ the chav mum.
Also some actors reappear as different characters ... Sheathing the Undertaker appeared in the episode in which Winston got his new leg as the doctor. And also the jockey of "Captain Dandy" also played the part of the B&B owner when Jack and Victor went to find Winston in Finport
The next episode has Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid from Harry Potter).
I love still game pure 'Scottish' banter
Something that has been pointed out before is that the writers Ford and Kieran wrote some excellent jokes and funny lines which they then gave to other characters. Even some small characters who only have one line. Instead of keeping the best lines and jokes for their own characters that they play. I think that’s what makes the show so good and gives it great depth. There isn’t just 2 really funny characters and then everyone else. Every character is funny in their own way.
That's such a good point, it makes it more of a lively world instead of two funny men in a world full of NPCs, it feels like everyone has their own place and personality, even the background characters feel alive and real and I don't feel that with all that many shows, Only Fools and Horses is another good example of that.
You could watch Jack and Victor's scottish road trip,it was something to do with them getting intae the booze business,Jack and Victor's whisky
Many hospitals have a hospital radio station.
Once again another excellent reaction and to a show that I have always enjoyed watching, and until now is made that much better with your encouraging interaction and infectious laughter. Keep on doing what you do best that man, who needs Tv when there is always superb reaction channels on here, yours being my favourite. 🌈
Some hospitals even in America have radios. You wear headphones and can listen into the dj doing his stuff and it can be really good.
This comment lol
Well let's all queue up for that then! 🧐
Are some hospitals in America that do it, but almost all in the UK do it. Musics ok mind not amazing but ok depends on your tastes really lol.
Also you two never listened to a hospital radio? Ever? Or have you not been im hospital for more than say a week because they obviously exist to eliminate the boredom in my case of waiting for my gunshot to heal when I was 17 lol. But yes you can request headphones that tune into the radio if that hospital has one and listen in. Can't exactly play the music loud as you might annoy other patients hence it's done that way instead. Mind the DJ liked Queen so I was happy being a fan too especially whenever Radio gaga came on. Love that song so much best driving song ever seriously it is
@@hordegaming4771 are you dyslexic or tired and no but I was also in hospital overnight I broke a rib and had an air bubble in-between my muscles got a pretty cool x-ray thanks to that
The actress who played Agnes (Tommy's wife) was a long term customer of a shop i worked in around this time, but unfortunately i didn't make the connection with this until after i left lol
The ending of this one always annoyed me, as although i understand why they made the change (as you say in this music copyright) it ruins it. In the original broadcast, and on bbc iplayer, its Rosemarie that they play, but on here and Netflix its different, which i think ruins it a bit. I have the DVD box set but can't check those unfortunately just now lol
Great reaction as always though, amd you'll love the next one too 😊😊
I first watched this episode on CZcams over ten years ago. At the time, when the song played halfway through, Warner Bros had made sure another song played over the track of the programme so nothing could be heard including speech.
I first heard the full correct soundtrack when watching this on the YT Squirrel Channel last year.
Great series...rewatched it few times👍❤❤❤❤
Love you're reactions to still game ❤️❤️❤️
"If not you'll get it Sunday..."
Early hours of Tuesday here in Scotland (long story why I'm still up) so yer speaking guff big yin, square go aye? 😉
Amazing reaction again bro 👏🏻🙌🏻
Hey I missed ur channel , but I'm back now
Still Game is a Scottish legendary sitcom
I love how u still review U.K stuff
Hope ur well brother
I think the UK tv shows are special in their writing we overlook how good until ee see blokes like Alan nearly falling of his chair.
😂👍
Still game is ftuk
ah, I just remembered the ending lol
I think you would be great on the radio, defo something to look into if you want to do anything like that. Another great video, thanks. I love Still Game.
Most unrealistic part of this episode is when Isa didn't know about the husband being dead as she knows all of the gossip! lol
I know youve already watched this, but i would recommend finding a version of it on CZcams that is from the original tv broadcast version, because this one is from the DD release, and because of contractual reasons in music copyright etc, it has had all the music changed out and even muted out in parts, and a few cuts and other edits, which soolis it. Especially spoils the main gag that was building up, then it gets to it, and the joke isn6t there, its spoiled if i was you i would find it, it is on CZcams somewhere, and then rewatch it in your own time. You will appreciate it. It makes this episode so much better watching thr original tv broadcast version. Tones better,
Keep up the good work. We appreciate the time and effort you put in fella.
From one 40 something hirsute Still Game fan to another, thanks mate.
you're so right about the universe of characters in this show, it's so easy to settle into
He had shat aaalll up his back 😂
Hi electric just catching up at a point I stopped watching SG it was on for years what was great about it is how a Scottish comedy was so big around UK that stunned me and very proud the writting is brilliant I haven't seen this episode before thank you for apreciating I watched so many so far this last week your reaction too this brilliant brilliant thank you
This really stuck with me this episode. It really is true that people will tell you they are going now. My mother did the same.
I feel the same about this episode too, though there are a couple of additional reasons too. My Mum had her chemotherapy in The Western and at one point they do a dedication to Sheana, who’s going home…my Mum’s name was Sheana.
This show blows American comedy clean out the window 1000000%% 😅😅😅😅😅
He's working at Hospital Radio. In house radio in hospitals, staffed by volunteers. Not sure if this is a thing in the U.S?
Thank you for posting, hope this finds you well.
Good stuff!
I'm in..A new still game!
Nice one EB
💥
Great stuff again. You definitely have a radio voice.👍
Keep up the good work my friend
Buzzin for the dial a bus episode today 🤣🙌
Thanks to how some things worked out this week it'll be tomorrow instead of today. That Blackadder reaction f'd up timing a good bit.
@@TheEclecticBeard I just seen your post, all good.. the next episode is ridiculously wild so I’m happy to wait and watch along!
Isa
"I've got a mooth like the Clyde Tunnel"
I travelled through the Clyde Tunnel today !
Just noticed countdown music and visuals was cut 😢 never seen that on any version of this episode. I’m gonna assume before I reach the end it won’t be the Rose Marie song as all the music is different not only from original but even from the music they changed it too!!!
I like how she feeds her kid chocolate, she's a very lovely person who cares about diets
No good deed goes unpunished
The best premise of episode is the main characters, no matter how well they do, they always wind up back at square one.
Men shouldn't worry about the finger up their butt to possibly save their lives. If you think about it - what comes out is usually much bigger than a finger!!! 😀
Ah that was worth the wait Alan! 🏴
That’s humour 😂😂😂
Hey
You should have a look at Rhod Gilbert - suitcase
Welsh comic and the scene will bring you to tears 😂
I’m dead Eb at your reaction lol😂😂
TOM IS STEREOTYPE OF A CHEAP SCOT😂😀😃
the show has a good balance of comedy and tragedy
This hilarious.....not as funny as the New Year òne.....it's so funny.....glad you're enjoying this EB🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Totally get your comments on being a DJ. Sadly, I agree that (ironically) being interested/passionate about music and not just popular music (or hit singles) is a deterrent for most radio employers! Very sad, as b-sides or non-single album tracks can be (a lot of times) even better! Very much with you on the album being the centerpiece of an artist's output, and not simply their greatest hits.
Yeh the music for a lot of the episodes was changed due to copyright. It's a shame because the original broadcast and dvd releases have the original music and it all fits perfect. Originally as Tommy passes the song Rose-marie is played and Rose-marie is heard instantly. This copyrighted version has a very short instrumental and lasts a few seconds. It's a shame but it is what it is. Great reaction vids😊😊
My mother was in hospital years ago to have surgery, the hospital radio dj came for requests so we requested "The first cut is the deepest"😂
Great review. You broke down what makes Still Game a great show. Out of interest as an American listening to our accent how has it got easier to understand or do you still struggle with it.
You should watch Rab C Nesbitt and Chewin the Fat you will love them if you like Still Game. You will even see some familiar faces in Rab C Nesbitt the only 1 I will tell you is Ford Kiernan Rab C is a comedy that breaks the 4th wall talking to the audience Rab is an alcoholic who will neither work nor want great laugh with his family and friends enjoy it will not let you down
Alan you got to take a look at Gavin and Stacey , but you have to watch from episode one .
Not sure how Isa didn't know about Kenny as she is first to know about everything and spread it all over craiglang
Eh your laugh is hilarious I canny move 😂😂😂😂😂
Or phoenix nights
They have hospital radio shows
Before you go any further watch the Christmas special 😂😂you'll love that
Hi Alan,you should watch some Burnistoun especially "Quality Polis " and "Scottish voice recognition" .
Fabulous going watch this later 👍👍😎
New watch Tam?
“John gilchrist, ward 10, cancer”..! At least he’s honest about it!
BEST SEASON !
Alan, you say that you've not got the voice for radio, have you heard the way Dj's speak these days 😄
Bout feckin time beard
Methinks you are still a Scot
You’re likeness should be a statue in George square
Anytime in Glasgow I will house you
The music is missing when she's sitting down at the end. The digital version should have used a cover or similar song with the same name
A still game drinking game would be good...but lethal 😂
ISA gossips, Navid chews out a punter, Two Pints Prick, etc
Oh damn. That would be alcohol poisoning.
@@TheEclecticBeard Medical advisory: playing this game for more than one episode is even worse for your health.
The songs which play in the original cut of this episode are Otis Redding - Hard to Handle and Nelson Eddy singing Rose Marie and what pisses me off is they COMPLETELY ruined the gag at the end, to the point where it doesn't even make sense, Tommy hears four notes of a song which isn't his favourite Rose Marie and just dies in silence after the music abruptly stops and Agnes storms in while a totally different piece of copyright infringement free music plays. 😂 I have the box set and have the proper episode on disc so I usually just avoid watching it on Netflix but it's a shame you had to see this one.
Oh look at me, I'm rambling again. Anyway, take care, EB.
Hospital radio
Here we go, a wee break from everything that's happening in the world, need a good laugh here. Btw, off topic here mate, do you know what space movie came out in 1992? ✌😂
Exactly it's why I like shows like still game that was made before the wokeness set in huh
I ignore it, I still will talk and do stuff like before wokeness
1992? I feel bad thinking was space jam then
@@mlee6050I mean something is getting jammed in that 1992 space movie😂. A quick Google search will answer your question.
@@mementomori4591 so true lol, wonder when make a sequel
Navid needs the lav
Its a whole week late....but i will take it.
I hadn't seen this episode before so it was doubly fun for me! Also, like number 69 dude.
Tam,Tan.
Who's your favourite character?
What about...
'Their coming to take me away..ha..ha..'
You should watch Mrs browns boys it’s really funny
Tam got what he deserves in this episode
Happened to a guy I knew, passed away but left his Facebook open, his wife discovered he was having an affair, she went mental with all his mates…..
They should make a movie a one off special all get back together.
Please don't. Did you not watch the newer episodes 😂. They almost ruined the Legacy a movie would destroy it.
Watch max and paddy’s road to nowhere
👌😂😂😂❤
Tam is so tight-arsed, he could eat coal and shit diamonds!
Camaraderie
