- The Street (2014) - Episode 1 - BBC Scotland
The Street follows a year in the lives of the people who live, work and play on Sauchiehall Street, one of Scotland's most famous and iconic shopping and party destinations. From shopkeepers struggling to pay the rent to buskers, revellers, street pastors, bar workers and psychics, the street never sleeps.
In the first programme, Savoy Centre manager Jim decides to put a cunning new plan into action but ends up with a mutiny on his hands, chef Nick puts a trainee through the mill and the street pastors are out in force mopping up the aftermath of a busy weekend's partying.

Gonna respect him for standing up for himself hate bullies.
Over the last 10 years Glasgow City Council has destroyed Sauchiehall Street and you’ll be lucky to see anything or anyone here. What a mess has been allowed to be made of this area. Also amazing to see Mellow - used to jam with him in the early 2000s and learned a lot of reggae guitar licks from this man.. sadly not seen him for many years.
Is it just me or is the council in Scotland and England about as useful as a dissolving condom?
He's been in Liverpool for a good decade now, he has a CZcams channel called Mellow Melo. He seems to have deteriorated a bit.
He definitely has.
Yeah those knxbheads being racist at him like that...
@@MrDontclickthislinkdrugs ,my thoughts.
10 years later it’s game over for Sauchiehall St
Why?
Half of the shops are closed it also looks pretty messy.@@kaikito7662
@@kaikito7662just open you're eyes
@@kaikito7662 place is desolate. Shops shutting everywhere and all the council want to do is hammer motorists. Place is humped unfortunately
They shut the Noodle Bar, that was the beginning of the end 😂
The barbushka guy is keeping the 2000’s hairstyles alive
stu stu stu studio line
Wow they guys racially abusing the poor busking should be jailed .just no need for it 😢
He did get done for it
total no need for it pair of belters
did those racists not see they were being filmed??? like did they not see the camera guy?
They will be after April the first, mayor of Glasgow, what can I say 🤔😷 Enoch was a visionary, had the balls to lose his job and speak out.
@@1gerard47 What do you mean?
18:37 that bald guy with his dads pink shirt on was a complete weapon
@paulw577 she look like him with a wig, and the same shirt
Slap head pays his taxes
clearly of the rangers persuasion
@@gjw000 aha 100%
Yeah, his girlfriend is called palm... apparently, she's got five sisters.
How rude 😢
You handled those two idiots like a proud man in professional way xx
Sorry for your troubles ❤
it wasnt just rude. they were racist. very racist
I appreciate the quality picture and audio! It’s easy on me poor eyes, Thanks Laddie. Keep the great programs coming!
the savoy managers feel like chewing the fat bowling club
I love watching docuseries about Scotland and I love the way they sound when they talk!!
What on earth were those men playing at hassling the busker. That was so upsetting to watch . He is so lovely and was completely minding his own business. What ashame.
It was horrible! The fat blob didn’t have any balls when it came down to it and the waster who kept attacking shouldn’t have had his face blurred! I’m glad the black guy Mirelo? Could fight! I hope he is doing well now x
Because they are huns.
Acting big for the camera. Assaulting a man when there's two of them and one of him. Calling him racial slurs. People in the street did help. Some people are just proper twats. I hope they got charged. And I hope people find them online these days and let their future employers know what evil racists they are.
@@Patthis67I'm pmsl, I'm from N.I and I always forget that Scotland has the same issues and lingo as we do here in Ireland, esp the north 😂
I so rarely see people online say 'hun' in this context! Love it
From: A Hun called Ciara (a traditional Irish name) lol
Sadly these minority are the shame of Scotland.
Thanks for sharing, never seen this before brilliant.
Thank You!
My grandfather was a busker in Glasgow.💜
Been hunting for this for years since it was on BBC lol
18 mins in This made me ashamed to be human never mind a scot.. keep buskin sir 💖 your amazing
Aye, really painful watch.
I thought the same ,I turned it off at 20 minutes, those f*ckers were too much for me, super sad😕☮️💓
I worked in Sauchiehall street soon after leaving school in the 70's... it was the most exiting place in the city centre. ..followed only by Argyle street.
We'd go dancing at weekends , and walk along Sauchiehall street towards Anderston.. at 2am, and buy hot rolls in a bakery in St Vincent street just hot out of the oven . Fabulous memories . I haven't lived in Scotland for decades. I was hoping to go and visit Glasgow central this summer. Sounds like I'll be wasting the plane fare. So sad.
Times have changed but Glasgow is still a fantastic place. Sauchiehall street and Argyle Street are in steep decline, but other areas are on the way up. If you haven't visited for a long time you'll be shocked to see how good Finnieston is these days.
The guy running the savoy looks like he was going to have a heart attack, shouldn’t be pointing to other business saying he’s paid she’s paid them with the hair has paid doesn’t look good in front of the 6 customers the centre had
thanks to u for uploading this, very interesting documentary. remember it was on when I lived in glasgow and watched it again over weekend, sad to say back then it actually was more thriving than what I see now. come back to GLASGOW for football only and get first flight back. no interest in pubs anymore after the matches. just down in Suffolk now and while its not perfect, different world from glasgow
the boy from school Kevin is so frustrating - can tell he needs motivation but looks like he would rather be at home comfortable making tea and sitting in front of TV.
I know from my days at work experience at network rail and then leading to my first job doing what I now do as a railway infrastructure manager it is all about attitude.
I wonder if the chap Kevin managed to succeed - does any one know
Tom
13:59 - Imagine applying a Masonic pass-grip on a unsuspecting lad! Hunnery levels 101! 😂😂😂
Poor KEVIN hope he's OK and doing well bless you SON🙏🤝🙏
‘Poor Kevin’ 😂
He was hardly treated like a POW in Vietnam
Nick made a shocking decision hiring him but Kevin did himself no favours
Heavy bad that what they done to that black guy no need in that atall pure racism and hatred for no reason, absoloutly vile to watch
Pair of embarrassments! Total wankers.
Typical Rangers supporters, Scotland's unadulterated shame!
@leannecampbell4551 I'm a rangers fan so your comment is abit stupid , plenty celtic fans out there too
Let them two walk about Brixton saying that 😂😂😂served up in two minutes sad people
@@cashyf_88 Exactly. Every fan base in the world have racist idiots among them, including Celtic.
Wow just to think about how much worse things have got in Glasgow since 2014🙁
Worst city in the UK now, up there with Birmingham. Depressing
@@ralphcifaretto1 I don't care about the "uk" We should be dealing wiith our own problems, not paying towards england.
Busker can’t be responsible for his own life. The sax guy seems on the spectrum a little. The chef apprentice was a lazy lummox. The chef boss is just a Ned trying to make it..fair enough. The savoy guy is not sympathetic and I’d have told him to bounce. The racist scummy guys were an embarrassment to their mothers!
Embarrassment to themselves really.
Iain the shoe shop owner always got a coffee in hand
Chef thinks he’s still in barlinnie kitchen
The second thing I hate most, after greed, is racism.
What’s the third?
@@peteturnervideographyPointless questions.
no one is keeping you here you are free to leave any time you like.
Nick (the manager / head chef at Taste) is a prime example of why 'coke' is one of the worst drugs people can take. It rips out any real good that people have inside them and turns people into short tempered, stressed out narcissists who lack real emapthy for others. And that effect can last years upon years after people stop taking it. Even Lemmy from Motorhead confirms this in a number of interviews he did , and he had been around all sorts of drugs all through his adult life. He warns that coke is the worst and most destructive drug out there.
Shame about the young lad Kevin as all he needed was someone with a bit of empathy to help train him up and help encourage him with a bit of understanding that he was new to it all. Instead he was clearly made to be nervous and then demotivated due to the horrendous ,short tempered , bullying attitude he got from Nick. It's a classic example too af why 'the carrot works far better then the stick' when trying to motivate people and get the best out of them. At least Kevin got away from that horrendous bad attitude Nick was giving him, fairly quickly. It no doubt made it harder for Kevin to trust future work situations , but hopefully his next job attempt, he was treated with human levels of empathy and understanding , instead of the horrendous bullying attitude of an ex coke head.
Nick was a grafter. Kevin was a product of a lazy and workshy family. Look at his mum. Slobbed on a couch and about 25 stone. Kitchen/Chef work is hard. It is tough. He should never have taken the boy Kevin on at all. You could tell just by looking at him he came from a family not prepared to work for a living and wanted everything handed to him.
Nick was not perfect but he gave a fuck and had ambitions about his business succeeding.
Imagine being under all that pressure to do well and hiring a total doughball who just stood about and was not willing to put in a shift.
You’d lose the nut too.
Hear hear. You've just summarised how I felt watching the restaurant segments in better terms than I could have.
I've worked under managers, business owners like him before and it was genuinely upsetting to see another lad go through an experience that could be mapped onto my own. Those types of jobs genuinely make you dread turning up to work and make your life overall less worth living. You're just tense all the time. The common thread when I worked those jobs was that the businesses were always completely hanging by a thread/fly-by-night operations where the owners were absolutely winging it and there was no structure or protocol in place.
Also ignore the clown who replied to you initially. He's already tried picking a fight with me for calling the owner a bully. I'm roughly 90-95% sure it might be Nick himself, or someone who's close to him in reality.
@@lmackenzie9198 You’re well wrong again. Not picking a fight with you either. It’s youtube comments, I don’t know you and don’t have a personal issue. Just massively disagree with you.
Nothing to do with Nicholas either, never met him in my life.
@@ralphcifaretto1 Ok. It is bizarre that you are running such a hard defense of him in the comments in that case. And the fact that you are so vindictive about Kev.
I also hope the irony [appropriateness?] of supporting the behaviour of a vile, abusive, shit-talking cokehead under your particular pseudonym isn't wasted.
Those racists were disgusting, giving Glasgow a bad name.
And cowards, they were bricking it when they realised he wasn't a pushover.
@@marychristmas4911 Exactly two on one and they didn't have enough balls to actually fight. The one that did try tried to shake his hand and sucker punch him. Fucking disgusting.
Mellow is a bastard. Have you watched the other episodes of his violence and assaults and robberies? He's always taken advantage of people and always the aggressor. He is also black, soooo?
@@marychristmas4911 were they fuck 🤣

Absolute shame what’s happened to that street
That picture is the epitome of craziness
The subtitles are sublime... saki hall street? 😂
How horrible i would of gone mental and helped him bless him 🙏 🙌💔
A oz a week 😂😂 that chef is a fucking banger
Wow. Those Street Pastors are actually doing something useful. That's some real Christian charity. Also, screw management of The Savoy. The traders are barely making money as is, and those guys make them pay extra rent for... nothing. No foot traffic. What are they supposed to do?
Princess street, George street in Scotlands CAPITAL city is part of our story too
Princes street.
Quite interesting to watch the overall shift in attitudes and what's deemed as acceptable conduct in 10 years. The 2 racist thugs attacking the busker was absolutely appalling, a really tough watch.
Sad.
Came From Hamiltonhill, Now Live In Australia, I Loved Glasgow, Wandered Around All Over Glagow, But Sadly, What Has Happened To It, My Father And I Hocked And Busked All Over Glasgow In The 50s, What A Difference In Attitudes Towards Buskers Trying To Make A Living, As My DA Used To Say, We're Not Begging For Money, We're Entertaining For It, So, Give The Busker A Go, Is'nt That The Glesga Way. ❤❤😊😊
this guy mellow seems to blame everyone else except himself, the racism is out of order, but hes not making any effort to get his own place, spending money on drink & weed and expecting to be sleeping on his mates couch and starting shit, he needs to get his finger out
That guy from the Taste restaurant is funny as fck!! 😂😂😂 Glasgow takes zero prisoners. Lol.
Oke acts like he's still on the coke! Hyper af. I hope he's doing alright. It's hard for the FnB industry. Even worse now.
@TheMadAfrican1 You're not wrong ma pal. I seen his jaw moving.. I was an ex cocaine user. I see the signs. 😊 He was so funny in that certain clip though. ❤️
20 minutes in and I'm so sad from watching that racist man shouting at this beautiful person,i actually have to turn this off now due to that horrific behaviour😢😢😢😢
I wonder what team those two guys hassling the busker support ???
A dirty green one
@@dazcleary2584😅 you should go professional m8 you're hilarious.😅
@@dazcleary2584who got their stand shut down for racism? 🤔🤫
@@dazcleary2584grow up.
@@Patthis67who and why ?
Aw god. That poor guy getting attacked. This might of been ten or so years ago, but oh my god. I feel so awful for him. Also extremely embarrassed that he was attacked in my home like that. What a bunch of absolute idiots
What ever happened to Merlo? Really talente.
sauchiehall street is a shambles now. Nothing there.
Anoo as thinking the same about merlo, hope he's doing well in life, ye can tell the wee guy needs help
Merlo mellow,youtube.
It looks really depressing
That man child in the Shirt 👕 is an absolutely disgraceful brother 😢 ❤
The Scottish Psychic 😂😂
Mellow doesn't deserve the shit he gets but he might have more cash if he laid off the Guinness, the wine and the ganja.
Ashamed to call myself a glaswegion.
Looks rough as fuck
i wonder what happened to Mellow now, 10 years on
He’s in Liverpool
Ahh in Liverpool
This is more like a mockumentery. Keep waiting on David walliams and matt lucas !!
More like the Scots squad.
Glasgow no more.
I wonder what team the lads that hassled the busker support 🧐😂
Alcohol.
No doubt, the team you're referring to fly the Union flag. Brain-dead EDL followers.
Two a-typical Huns, they were exposed back whn this happened.
Yoon mfs
@@leannecampbell4551what's a Hun?.
10 years on and Tory migration has caused nothing misery and decay
19:49 cool story bro.
Also "I was a little kid man" then proceeds to admit he was in his 20s, more like he was trying to pose as a little kid like the rest of the invaders.
I don’t get it. You’ve got nowhere to stay but you’ve got enough money to sit in a pub all day drinking? There’s life strategies seems to be their worst enemy. I’d be walking into every takeaway restaurant and office and asking for work. Washing dishes putting out the bins hoovering the floors. Or with the basking money buy a bucket window cleaner and towels and go around every business offering to clean their shop windows for a fiver. I wouldn’t be sitting in a pub spending my last penny on alcohol.
Give a man a fish ....
Maybe you should be more disgusted with the two white guys giving him a hard time. Them claiming that he's making thousands whilst claiming benefits. This guy doesn't claim benefits like the thousands of layabouts in Scotland whose only contribution to society is claiming as many benefits as they can without the slightest interest in getting a job.
Algo b-b-boost! Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey generally speaking
At 30 mins, someone needs to tell those 'street pastilles' that God isn't going to feed the homeless or keep them warm.
Am sure he now owns a shop called honey badger in Motherwell dope supply shop
The chef??
Should do one of these in Fife
I bet those businesses would rather have the recession in 2014 than the disaster that is Brexit today.
There is a lot of money to be made in Glasgow in the service industry. Retail died in the nineties when we had access the the crap that these small retails reselling us from their suppliers in China. They should have kept their eye on the ball. Progress. A bit like the mines shutting down when the UK started buying coal from other countries at 1/6 of the price then the miners wanted more money? Well done unions, got them all shut down
These gammon racists getting owned by that black busker was a classic!!
Hope that lad kevin got on ok. He is a young boy that needed training not bullying.
Now it’s just full of junkies
what language is this?
English spoken in scotland
Racism
Scottish ya muppet
It’s Scottish
English, but with a Scottish accent.
I need subtitles as I truly can’t understand this strong Scottish accent! It’s very hard as they speak quickly!
Horrible to see this man been attacked. ... such Horrible people out there spewing absolute nonsense....
Mellow is a bastard. Has anyone watched the other episodes of his violence and assaults and robberies? He's always taken advantage of people and always the aggressor.
Heard from a few people he was a pounce
First day in Glasgow, walks past Ibrox, gets racially abused … sounds about right
Rab C Nesbit had loads o weans
And he raised two rangers supporters case closed 😂
The Toby Jug has a reputation for picking up prostitutes 🤣 The Alpen Lodge is cheap and friendly. The Tolbooth is famous for being both a Celtic pub and Catholic (I don't approve of that, on either side, but they do have some good Irish music).
Yeah, you need to actually talk to people. You'll find that it's not rough at all. It used to be...
If you are friendly, people will be friendly to you. Even if you ARE English 😜
Everywhere in rhe toon is closing now because a oot of people vant getvin anymore because of lez zones , the whole of glesga is turning to shit now no just sauchiehall st
15:05 i remember seeing this clip years back, it disgusts me to this day seeing this man come into my counrty trying to make a living and having to defend the fact he is proud of his skin colour due to these poorly educated harmless "men", there are no words to describe how i feel after watching this years later it makes me sick to my stomach the fact that this is on my home turf.
This shit show makes that lot from "The Scheme" in Kilmarnock, seem half decent. This was made by the same mob I'm sure because they thought it would be as successful...by fuck were they wrong. This pile of utter shit ruined them. They should never have made it.
Mellow isnt mellow he is stoned a nd pissed .
Still doesn't deserve racial abuse
Women in The Street seen more willies
So glad I stay in Edinburgh
Get it right round ye ya bam
I’m glad you live in Edinburgh too. Stay there… with the rest of the fannies you call locals
embarrassing.the place is a pure tip....
Away and don't talk shit
Gutted for Melo that he's experiencing such vile racism in my country. I hope he hasn't had to leave.
Man running the restaurant is a bully.
yep he is, no wonder the place shut
@@ajayjackson7727 One third of the money coming in going up his nose probably didn't help either.
@@ajayjackson7727 opened a restaurant round the corner but sadly that closed last year
He really isn’t. This is how it is in a kitchen everywhere. It’s tough af. You need to be mentally solid for it. Hiring that waste of space Kevin was a disaster but you cannot call him a bully. I bet you’d watch Gordon Ramsay abuse people daily in a kitchen and find it entertaining. This is real life
@@ralphcifaretto1 Except they're making rolls with square sausage, not working in a Michelin star restaurant. The "waste of space" as you so put it did one thing wrong, and his boss went off on a "Fuck this that and the next thing" rant. That's not a good manager that's an insecure bastard who can't run a business. Kev got fuck-all training, was probably not even getting paid if it was work experience, and was expected to read this wall-punchers mind.
It's an incredibly huge tell that his main motivation is "Get the work done as quickly as possible so we can get out of this shit hole." Again, that's an indictment of you as a business owner if you're admitting the place you run is miserable and all the staff can't wait to get out the door.
And please don't feed me the entire" I'm a solid nutcase for working in a restaurant." angle because I have heard it before, multiple times. It's high pressure and stressful but that's no excuse to mistrain your staff and use them as a kicking post because of your own shortfallings in life. It doesn't have to be this depressing if the business ownership is correct. If you want to take dog's abuse from your boss for less-than-minimum wage, and you think there's something noble in that that's your choice. I'm sure all that bootlicking will pay off in the long run, eh?
Instead of helping the black guy you just keep on filming...
My thoughts as well.
Not the person holding the camera's job to end fights
15 year here and no even got a job says it all.
that chef couldnt cook bread
Cook bread?!... Bread is baked, you absolute dough ball!
Bcause its baked...
aye, and apparently you can't understand English. Or bake bread evidently since you think you cook it on a hob..
Baking counts as cooking, technically...
@@hughmclean2018 Who says "I'm cooking bread" ?!. So technically, you're wrong as baking is a form of cooking, but bread isn't cooked, it's baked, Mr Simp.
