RadgerTheBadger Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'm glad Shug was in it tonight. Apart from the usual Jack, Victor and Winston I have to say Shug is my favourite character 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like her anyway, but I'm no sure. Believe it or not I actually thought that myself. Would need to watch it back... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thought it was very funny in places trouble being you could remove all the Methadone Mick stuff and the funny moments would remain intact. Weakest of the three for me yet still craps on anything else that goes under the guise of a comedy nowadays. Shrug's line "I was a bawhair away from giving my pension to a prostitute" was brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenElves Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It wasn't Sturgeon, unfortunately. Also, the actress that played Rachel is a total wid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Horrible episode bar a good one-liner. The Methadone Mick job interview was trying too hard to emulate Spud in Trainspotting and failed miserably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meth Mick is a good character, but was seriously overused in tonight's episode. On the subject of minor characters, Peggy will feature in this series. Awful character. Haven't watched this week's one yet but looking at the comments on here, it seems to have been OK and nothing more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Have watched all three episodes so far and imo it all seems a bit forced. Maybe they are just trying to hard.Not a patch on original series' if you ask me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Things can seem forced on their first viewing, but when you go back and watch them again, I feel a lot of that seems to go away and over time some parts get even funnier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 methadone mick is good as a junkie, when they have him spouting all that intelligent pish he's shite to watch, winston again is top notch they just need to make sure his storylines arent too "over the top" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It wasn't that bad. I don't mind Methadone Mick - I quite liked the talking letterbox line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Stingy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Couldn't get into this episode. The first two were very good, but this one put too much of its time on Methadone Mick that it didn't really give enough time for the other characters to shine. Not really a fan of this character because his jokes got old very fast. This episode basically told the same joke (Mike likes drugs and has a trippy outlook on everything, so let's keep reminding people about it) for the majority of it. If it focused on another character like Navid or Isa instead then it would of been so much better. I give this one a 6/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is petty but chucking that fine in the bin at the office seemed too stupid and out of character for Winston, stuff like that comes across as lazy writing to me. After Erics earlier "you've run out of bog roll Boaby" line I was expecting the final scene to be Winston wiping his arse with/showing it smeared in shite type scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston was the daft c**t that kicked his 30k winnings from the bookies out the window when capering with Jack and Victor. I didn't think it was out of character for him to stick it in the bin, he is daft. Again I thought the episode was okay, a few laughs, but nothing too great. Not quite reached the highs of other seasons yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 All set up for the brother to come back with that money. For me... 1st one - 6/102nd - 8/103rd - 5/10By still game standards. Still enjoyed them all however. Someone said it here but I think I'll enjoy them more watching them again, always expect a lot on first viewing, especially with the comeback one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locheedfcno1 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just watched episode 3 there. Methadone Mick is a shit character. Winston just throwing the paper in the bin was daft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I think episode 3 had more laugh out loud moments than the first two.The bit that pissed me off a wee bit was shug telling the old women to shut it because it's a library before yapping away himself in the library. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I quite like the character tbh. Wouldn't really want a spinoff though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I tweeted earlier saying the character was good in parts but in danger of being overused. The actor who plays him liked the tweet... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
