I remember my dad putting this on once when I was younger thankfully I was sitting on the floor to watch it because I was rolling about the floor in tears of laughter watching it 😂😅😂
Mum was @ this recording in the king’s theatre summer of of 1988 over 36yrs old & nothing like good clean fun not a swear word or blue joke in sight & people will carry on watching this in the next 36yrs
In the 60s my dad used to take the weans, every other year, to see Francie and Josie in Glasgow or Ayr Gaiety. We thought they were hilarious. It's only when I got older that I appreciated the fact that I'd been lucky to see them in their prime, and how they made their slick comedy act seem so effortless. Ricky Fulton and Jack Milroy were comedy gold.
It is such a shame that the BBC did not have the nerve to show this lovely double act to the rest of the United Kingdom, they eventually had the courage to show Rab C Nesbitt nationwide but it would have been so nice for the rest of us to see Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy performing. It our loss.
i remember as a wee boy in the 60's seeing them in panto in the kings theatre, i was only about 4 or 5 & the only thing i remember from it was a bit when they were onstage with a pram, i don't even recall what panto it was? in the late 90's & early 2000's i used to play their songs on my tues & thurs morning radio shows with la di da & do cherry stanes come oot being favourites with my older listeners. i also played the songs from the parahandy album that we grew up listening to in the 60's & early 70's till the oldest three of us discovered punk rock & bryan robertson's guitar licks with thin lizzy & formed a band in 1976. john grieve's land of the hee drum hadrum ho & the crinan canal for me. i remember singing that one all the way from crinan to ardrishaig basin as i steered our 55ft trawler through the canal. even into the 2010's i would annoy my kids by performing jack milroy's 'she's at arbroath' sketch, still cracks me up to this day, there was never a comedian or comedic duo to match the boys until frankie boyle came along. i started watching this & remembered i have this on an old VHS tape that i found in my late mother inlaw's 2nd hand shop when my kids were 6 & 3. my 3yr old daughter started answering ;sure josie, sure josie, sure, sure sure to any adult she met while we were out a walk in the '' wee toon'' she even said it to johnny beattie who we bumped into on campbeltown quay when he was down entertaining the local old folks. i maintain there should be a statue of them outside buchanan bus station, close enough to the coo-caddens but in a spot where most people can appreciate it. or even better, in george square instead of warmongers & slave owners. sweet violets, i used to play it several times as i got so many requests for it.
I can understand why you would think that it is in a foreign language when in fact it's in a different dialect. A dialect which was/is spoken by Glaswegian people. Perhaps it should have subtitles if someone has the patience to listen record and write down the script which is being sung and spoken. Francie & Josie were a throwback to the misinterpretation of the English language, for instance opporchancities. The doctor has a periscope not a stethoscope, a simple enough mistake as they're so similar
1:10:42 Ugh. Bloody soup with a ham shank. My great gran and my dad who she taught to cook (both sadly no longer with us) always made soup with a ham shank and I loved it. I desperately want to get the recipe so I can make it but no bugger will tell me. My gran and great auntie both know how it was made but they don't do it that way anymore. They use pre-made stock and diced bacon these days (along with a few other ingredient changes) because it's cheaper and easier. Every time I ask them specifically how to do it the way my dad and great gran did, they just say some variation of "you don't want to make it like that, it's too expensive" and try to palm me off with their modern recipes. I've tried every polite way of asking I can think of. It infuriates me because I don't care about the cost or ease of cooking, I just want to be able to make the old family recipe I grew up on. Looks like they're going to take that recipe with them to the grave (hopefully not for a long time yet).
There’s nothing Grotesque about it ,it’s pure gold Glaswegian humour…no swearing no blue jokes …you obviously have no sense of humour and no knowledge of the Glasgow accent….

Stumbled upon this by accident. Superb act, and a reminder of what theatre USED to offer..
I remember watching their show at my paternal grandmother’s house on a Sunday afternoon.
