    I remember when I watched this for the first time (not that very long ago, few years maybe) and thought the same as your comment. To my mind that was the best episode to date. It just encapsulated so much and really was so very touching. It's not a blip though, imo this show kept on improving and keeping the level all the way. Pretty rare.

    Oh ho, wonderful reaction once again to this timeless show! It's always a joy reliving these classic episodes seeing someone appreciating them for the first time. Adds an extra dimension to the rewatches. :) Love the bit where the janitor catches Jack and Victor out, lying about grand Firhill is. Firhill is the home ground of Partick Thistle, a football team in Glasgow. I went there a couple of times as a kid, it's definitely nothing to write home about. 😂 It is a superb episode, but most of the episodes in the first 6 series are golden, it has to be said.

  • @tussk.
    @tussk. 11 месяцев назад +1

    A lot of people didn't like this episode when it first aired, complaining that it wasn't as funny as the first series, but they kinda missed the point. In the 60's and 70's tens of thousands of Scots moved to Canada, Australia and America, in search of a new life, one that was bound to be better than the grim reality of post war Britain. Some made a great success of it, like my Uncle James, some didn't. The ones that stayed hoped that there would be a boom in the economy as there would be huge gaps in the job market, but then the coal mines, steelworks and shipyards began to close, and the realisation set in. They should have left when they had the chance.
    That's what Jack was talking about. They were all ready to go, but, like so many others, they backed out if it, the fear of the unknown being too great to get over. He missed his opportunity and it was too late for him to try again, but seeing his daughter thrive made him happy to see that somebody had the courage to do what he couldn't. He knew that by refusing to move out there meant that he would likely never see her again, and she understood that, but they accepted that their lives had taken different paths and that was the natural way of it.
    The warmth and humanity in these episodes is what kept us watching for years, and it's good that you're picking up on in too. Yes, they might rip on one another and take every chance to laugh at and make fun of their best friends, but when it comes down to it, they have a deep and abiding love for one another. That's what makes the show special.

    You seem to have a good healthy appreciation for this show. It is not only very funny, but has some good serious moments too. There's a few British sit-coms like this, such as Only Fools & Horses which tackles somre serious subjects at times.
    I think it's part of how Brit comedy separates itself from US Comedy.
    And the new background is great !!

    You can occasionally hear the actor who plays Victor (Greg Hemphill) slip back into his real life Canadian accent in this episode. He was born in Glasgow but raised in Quebec, then came back to Scotland when he was about 20. Try to find an interview with him and you'll hear his lovely hybrid accent. ❤

    Two comedy shows that are similar that you might find interesting are Citizen Khan, following a Pakistani family living in Birmingham, and Give My Head Peace, following the Nationalist and Unionist ongoings in Belfast.
    The latter is more political at times so maybe not worth it for a RUclips react, but it's managed to riff on both sides of the spectrum so it's fairly popular 😅.
