Absolutely loved this, Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 where dae ye get yer watter fae 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely brilliant, one of funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣 RIP Rikki Fulton 🙏🙏 I'm from Scotland 🏴
A masterclass. At its height, "Scotch and Wry" had viewing figures of more than half of Scotland, and in a tribute to Rikki Fulton, the Director of BBC Scotland - on learning of his death - said that such figures would never be equalled; for Scotland, Hogmanay WAS Rikki Fulton.
Remember Rikki and Gregor in the 70s. This little diamond is a masterclass in character acting - utterly believable and stone dead, perfect comic timing. Lovely man - hugely under-recognised, hugely missed.
❤❤❤We being Scottish watched Rikki faithfully every New Year. No matter where we were, we made sure that we were home for Scotch Rhy. Thank you Rikki I'm sure your with your precious wife in heaven. I will always love and adore you. You were the tonic Scotland needed.❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes humor doesn't always hold its value but that could never be said about this lovely, man. He's a genius & one of the best writers/comedy actors we have ever produced. Thank u Rikki!
My dad, God rest his soul, would roar at this. A Scots Irish Catholic, who like the rest of the young population would turn off such late night sanctomy, he couldn't believe what seeing when it first aired. What a gem of a comedian .
I'm a brummie roman Catholic and I have to admit that I have seen the local Catholic parish Priest in my mammy's house at around 10pm after he had just visited a few more of his parishioners and he had a "wee drink in each house " he was totally banjaxed by the time that he arrived at our house
I would have to say that this is the funniest sketch I've ever seen. I saw it when first aired and I still laugh out loud. Absolute comic genius. Thank whoever for you tube, for so many years I waited to see it again pre internet.
came across videos of rikki fulton by pure chance a few months ago and i'm so glad I did, the tears i've dropped due to laughter at this man. An absolute genius at what he did. RIP Rikki
Every year at Hogmanay in our house out come the Scotch n Wry DVDs :) The rubbish you get on telly now just can't compare. Even watching it on god knows how many repeats it still has us crying with laughter.
Johnny Mac does a brilliant solo version of this sketch as part of the Francie And Josie tribute Pure Neuralgia, with Liam Dolan as Francie, and Johnny himself as Josie
Old granny Henderson Teandalloch Cottage, many New Years ago Would have a wee sherry 🍶 🍷 Topped up with Lemonade (locally made..) And as the sherry was being topped up, she was getting more legless, it was 100% proof clear whisky 🥃, from the local Distillery in Muir of Ord, that was in the lemonade bottle She wasn't complaining..
Just braw, I first saw this when I was about 8 when it came out. Great poke at the weary willies that did the religious spot on the telly of an evening. Still have a good chortle at this now.
You’ll remember what Duteronomy said to Leviticus about exodus. Memories of sitting in mass not having a clue what they were all on about as a wean🤣…funniest man ever. Rip Rikki❤️
You have to be a certain age to appreciate this. First off you have to remember the Minister at the end of the day on TV, otherwise it has no connection to nowadays.
This is a parody of what Scots people had to endure at the end of the night before the television programmes ended. Before the advent of all night television the programmes ceased at 12 o'clock unless it was a Friday when a horror film would be shown. Rikki's parody is all too real and immensely funny
Before STV's epilogues finally ceased around 1990 it saw fit to inflict not just one, but two of them on viewers - Morning Call at 9.50am and Evening Call at 10.35pm.
Приколы
There should be a statue in Glasgow to this comedy genius this sketch is absolute class
Absolutely loved this, Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 where dae ye get yer watter fae 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely brilliant, one of funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣

I have watched this so many times, and it never gets old. An absolute genius. Always tears of laughter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Much missed, there will never be another as good as Rikki.
I watch this all the time, it's a great feeling good factor lolx
My grandweans are laughing like furniture lol x
Put him back on the telly, if you can get re-runs of everybody else, why not Ricky Fulton last thing at night, does anyone agree with me x.
❤❤❤We being Scottish watched Rikki faithfully every New Year. No matter where we were, we made sure that we were home for Scotch Rhy.
Thank you Rikki I'm sure your with your precious wife in heaven. I will always love and adore you. You were the tonic Scotland needed.❤❤❤❤❤
The More the drink kicks in, the More Glaswegian he becomes. Fulton was Hysterical.
Prill
Oops brill
Sheer genius writing from rikki fulton and not a swear word of crude humour in sight ....genius
Used to watch this with my dad, you don't get comedy like this anymore. His facial expressions alone had you in stitches.
Glad this is still kicking around. This comedy genius always made Hogmanay worthwhile for me.
Brilliant 😂 they should rerun these episodes on the telly now. We all need a good laugh 😂
Sometimes humor doesn't always hold its value but that could never be said about this lovely, man. He's a genius & one of the best writers/comedy actors we have ever produced. Thank u Rikki!
the 'opperchancity' - 'this is lovely watter'
My dad, God rest his soul, would roar at this. A Scots Irish Catholic, who like the rest of the young population would turn off such late night sanctomy, he couldn't believe what seeing when it first aired. What a gem of a comedian .
My mum would too man. She would absolute piss her pants watching this every Hogmanay. Brilliant memories. Rest well to your father. You too ma.x
Best piece of acting of a drunk I've ever seen, specially in such a short time frame
I'm a brummie roman Catholic and I have to admit that I have seen the local Catholic parish Priest in my mammy's house at around 10pm after he had just visited a few more of his parishioners and he had a "wee drink in each house " he was totally banjaxed by the time that he arrived at our house
💯👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💚
I haven't seen this for over 30 years aleast, my god Rikki Fulton is like a fine red wine just gets better with age !! Absolutely brilliant 😂😂 ❤️
"It's marvellous watter this, where in God's name dae yae get yer watter"
😂 😂 😂 😂
One of the best lines in British comedy history,
Scottish comedy history but I appreciate your sentiment 👍
God I love it.
Brilliant !
Holy watter d'y'ken?
Rikki was so talented. Brings back so many memories of growing up in Scotland. Classic.
I just love how easily and perfectly Rikki slips into character. He and Stanley Baxter both true masters of their trade.
It's impossible not to laugh your ass off at this. Rikki had an awesome talent that's sorely missed!
The Flower of Scotland - when will we see, Rikki Fulton again? That Rab C fought and died for ...,.
Rikki Fulton, comedy legend. That drunk burp he does has never been matched by anyone ever. "Booiiiiiiiiiikkkkk......."
Scotch & Wry was essential viewing every Hogmanay. Remember that sketch very well & Last Call with the Rev I M Jolly........ 😆
Every new year was a utter pleasure to watch
They really should show re runs of these again, comedy gold!!
I would have to say that this is the funniest sketch I've ever seen. I saw it when first aired and I still laugh out loud. Absolute comic genius. Thank whoever for you tube, for so many years I waited to see it again pre internet.
Rikki: Was the best ever to grace the stage.🏴🙏🏻
Francie and joesy

Whit a genius auld Rikki wis! Ah wis in knots at this! They dinnae hae quality comedy like this oan telly anymare, pure quality!
Brilliantly!
Rikki fulton is a huge to the comedy world back when comedy was really funny
" It's lovely water lads... where do you get your water?" 😂
how funny is this. never get tired of watching it.great impression of a drunk guy , so reallistic
pure class one of the funniest comedians we ever produced
Sublime comic actor, masterclass each time with the hint of not taking it too seriously.
Ricky Fulton! enough said, the man was a comic genius
This sketch just gets funnier every time I see it
came across videos of rikki fulton by pure chance a few months ago and i'm so glad I did, the tears i've dropped due to laughter at this man. An absolute genius at what he did. RIP Rikki
Hogmany memories❤
What an incredible talent!
OMG I'm crying! Just spat out my coffee watching this. He's hysterical
A natural talent.
What a fantastic sketch, pure genius Oh Ricky you were so damn good
Incredible acting. Very funny man
The “it must be Jim” song gets me every time.
Just incredible, our greatest gift to the world. 🏴.
Hilarious!! It's great too be Scottish who's like us
"Will you excuse me a minute, i feel a prayer coming on"
😂 😂 😂 😂 LMAO
Yorkshireman here. Why weren't we treated to this south of Hadrian's wall? The guy was a comic genius!
It’s only been declassified for the English and Welsh fairly recently.
Total genius. Never laughed so much in my life.
Best show ever
Genius only word to describe this man and even that not good enough to describe how good he was hogmanay not the same without scotch and wry on
Every year at Hogmanay in our house out come the Scotch n Wry DVDs :) The rubbish you get on telly now just can't compare. Even watching it on god knows how many repeats it still has us crying with laughter.
Endured!! Man was a genius
Not many could go from stone-cold sober to falling-down drunk within a few minutes and make it plausible.
Brilliant!
Pure classic comedy seen it so many times just gets funnier and funnier 😂
Johnny Mac does a brilliant solo version of this sketch as part of the Francie And Josie tribute Pure Neuralgia, with Liam Dolan as Francie, and Johnny himself as Josie
This man was & is a class act RIP Rikki
You can see who several well known Scottish comic actors modelled their drunk character on. Rikki was the template.
I still say opperchancity at every opperchancity I get!
Old granny
Henderson Teandalloch Cottage, many
New Years ago
Would have a wee sherry 🍶 🍷
Topped up with
Lemonade (locally made..)
And as the sherry was being topped up, she was getting more legless, it was 100% proof clear whisky 🥃, from the local
Distillery in
Muir of Ord, that was in the lemonade bottle
She wasn't complaining..
Just braw, I first saw this when I was about 8 when it came out. Great poke at the weary willies that did the religious spot on the telly of an evening. Still have a good chortle at this now.
Wonderful material. beautifully delivered, God bless Rikki Fulton. Probably deeply offensive now ? Too bad. Love it !
Love this ❤
Timeless. 🤣
You’ll remember what Duteronomy said to Leviticus about exodus. Memories of sitting in mass not having a clue what they were all on about as a wean🤣…funniest man ever. Rip Rikki❤️
A genius.
Then am dancin. 🙏. He is brilliant.
He was brilliant!!
Absolute Genius ,
Still miss Rikki at the bells.
I feel a prayer coming on ahahahah
Genius...
This is classic!
Absolute genius rikki
A stroke of genius that is why why rikki what's the master miss him Hogmanay
"Marvellous watter!" Hahaha!
You have to be a certain age to appreciate this.
First off you have to remember the Minister at the end of the day on TV, otherwise it has no connection to nowadays.
Still game/ chewin the fat and only an excuse are good. But this will always be my favorite hogmanay programme
Glasgow had some humdinger comedians in the 70s (Riki Fulton,Billy Connolly, etc).
Know whit a mean missus?
Jackie Burd...................
Oct 2021 and still laughing lol

It was the same here in Ireland and its spot on
Yep it was called late call on tv Scottish television stv
@@robertbiggins3693 It was actually called "Late Call?" So... now I where this brilliant idea comes from!
Late Call was simply reasons why it’s good to be Scottish and Protestant. Still a good thing 😅😂
Before STV's epilogues finally ceased around 1990 it saw fit to inflict not just one, but two of them on viewers - Morning Call at 9.50am and Evening Call at 10.35pm.
Dying to know what deuteronomy said to Leviticus about exodus 😂
'BBBBAAAARRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'................... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Year I was born.
Lol too funny
Wonderful memories and laughs.Thanks Big Man.RIP Rikki
I wonder what happened to that iconic chair.
4:05 haha lol 😂
He could certainly give Foster Brooks a run for his money!
It soon became clear that Sammy was in the boot 🤣
was on the booze...
Was this all done in the one shot ? No camera changes ... One take I'll bet .. The finest comedic talent
Yes, it was all done in one go. Rikki was known as One-Take Fulton as he never needed to do retakes.
You'll remember what Deuteronomy said to Leviticus about Exodus...er...so if you remember there's no point bringing that up again 😅
Was Johnny Carson available in the OK back then?
Opperchancity 😂
Where you get the water
