A standard 70's sitcom. It all seems rather strained. Scouse is a much more relaxed and witty way of speaking. The mother's voice is SO harsh and abrasive.
They don't make em like this anymore. A couple of the characters were in brookside & porridge. When you're living in a foreign land . Manchester. This makes me feel like I'm home again. Boss comedy
When I started drinking in 1973 a pint of best mild cost 11p, bitter was 12p lager and cider were 14p and Stella Artois cost a princely 16p a pint. Happy days.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Brian Mosley was a regular cast member on Corrie from 1971. I think it unlikely he'd be playing extras on Thames TV. Anyway it's not him. It's odd why Thames were making a comedy about Liverpool though.
jwgeezer are you talking to me ??? LOL I am from California forgive me if I don't know what the the dish is. It's like me telling you to make a tri tip...couldn't find a butcher that knew what it was in England to save my life!!
Type of basic stew. The Liverpool regional stew, like Ireland has Irish stew and Lancashire has the Lancashire Hotpot. Though I both make and enjoy the latter two and have never felt the need to make scouse! The ones I've seen (on tv, I'm australian) always look so insipid, like it's made with dirty dish water or something. Traditionally a cheap dish, though these days anything with meat in large portion isn't so cheap anymore!
I agree with william fitch, the mothers voice was disgusting and extremely common...im from liverpool and NOBODY spoke that way...its just total shite that stereotyped every person from the city the same..thick..common and been inside...fucking utter dross
Joe Gladwin is so hilarious! When he said “I’ll give you a kick up the ***” I spit out my drink 😂
I keep hearing a mix of Hilda Ogden and ma Boswell from bread when Sheila fays speaks...😅

o aye, reminds me of our aunt laura, what she had a gob like a blow lamp, if any one got on the wrong side of her.
THE LANDLORD … wasn’t he in BROOKSIDE ??
not too bad as comedies go
I don't know why it's regarded as particularly bad - I've seen many much worse sitcoms than this.
Is that Keith Cheggers Chegwin? hehehe

What is scouse?
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"

Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."

I'd never heard of this. I can see why; it's awful.
I just don't see any humor in this show. I find it tragic and sad.

This has got to be the worst series I've ever seen
