Albertlegend Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Watched Flittin and end up rattling through the whole series! The wake scene and the bogus Gas Man were brilliant didn't realise the Gas Man was the first episode! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, you see them walking about up the hill across from the Matalan and the Nia Roo. The location of where Jack and Victor talk to Winston and Joe highlighted in red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bruce Morton, the actor who plays Sheathing the Undertaker also played the doctor who gave Winston his female leg in "Kill Willie". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This latest series broke me. The walking football episode - I was on the verge of anger after that. Didn't watch any more in the series. I still have them taped, so - my question is - should I watch the rest, or is this the new level? Methadone fucking Mick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Seen them hundreds of times but like others I'm starting from the very beginning. Always a few funny lines you forget about regardless how often you've watched it. Like other others, I will probably race through them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t get any worse than the walking football but it doesn’t get much better either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) As much as I enjoyed that episode and the "hawf two" line, it's a plot that doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny. Would it have been that difficult to find out the times and platforms of trains arriving from Waterloo? And if that proved too difficult after all, and it seems that it does because they decide to check on arrivals from Euston, maybe phoning the boy back would've been worth a shot given that he wouldn't be leaving until the next day. Nice to see Shug and his lugs make their first appearance. Edited April 27, 2018 by MSU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they are auld duffers then the internet isn't really an option for them and they don't associate with anyone who could find out - possibly Boabby. It always feel like a distance for them to get into the City Centre so going the day before to ask is probably a bit much for them as well. In those circumstances I think it's plausible the best course of action is to go early morning and wait. It was 2002 so not everyone would have a mobile phone like today. I always assumed he was in the station using a phonebox so I don't think phoning him back would have been an option either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 FFS it's a comedy show not a Pulitzer prize nominated biopic, I really don't think it needs the entire plotline analysed to the nth degree. Just relax and enjoy it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant plot line but brilliant sub plot too with Winstons accumulator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excusing auld duffers from being unable to operate a phone whilst criticising auld duffers for being unable to use self scanning machines in a shop!!!Is it because it's an "old episode"???[emoji6] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Faimly wasn't as joke heavy as Flittin' and I had a wry smile at seeing Winston and Peggy fighting over something from the butcher's, but it was nice to see a bit more character development with Jack and Victor. Stuff like Victor's son helps the whole thing feel more relatable and realistic, rather than the recent series which makes everything feel like a dream happening in some timeless Summer Wine world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
