not worth watching all the best bits are edited out. they have to fit it into an hour and so have chomped 5-6 minutes out fo it to allow for the extra adverts you get compared to the original ad breaks

Correct. They chopped out possibly the finest bit in the whole first series, where they go to the Indian restaurant the first time

 

[Latka Gravas]

Coming from a Mackem I think we can all guess why.



He's a Mackem..three Geordie actors...what is on your mind right now?



Watching a Sunderland game?!

Oooohhh, time of the month honey?

And the bit where they sang rule Britannia as the crossed the border.

I never realised that Kevin Whately and Gary Holton were both older than Tim Healy and Jimmy Nail
Tim Healy was very old for his age back in the day

 

[lenshack]

It is. They changed it after loads of complaints

What's the complaints about ?

 

[super-niall]

Never watched it and dont ever intend to

Strange considering they went to see a Sunderland away friendly in Europe, so you'd have thought Sunderland fans would have held a slight warmth to it? I know I always have. Oz a through and through Geordie kitted out in Safc gear, it would never happen these days.

 

[Epping]

What's the complaints about ?

That the channel had edited the original and cut out too much of it

 

[Notorious Decka]

Watched the first two series properly for the first time a couple of years ago and laughed my cock off. It's class.

They destroyed the 2nd series by chopping it up into 30 min episodes instead of the 50 mins they were originally planned to be because they (ITV) wanted to put it up against Eastenders

 

[Old Prestonian]

They destroyed the 2nd series by chopping it up into 30 min episodes instead of the 50 mins they were originally planned to be because they (ITV) wanted to put it up against Eastenders

It had previously been shown as full episodes of 1 hour including adverts long before the 30 minute debacles.

 

[Mackem Al]

In my view its in the top 5 British TV shows ever made. Not many better.

 

[EcosseMackem]

They destroyed the 2nd series by chopping it up into 30 min episodes instead of the 50 mins they were originally planned to be because they (ITV) wanted to put it up against Eastenders

That was 2 years after it had been broadcast in it's original form at the then prime spot of 9pm on a Friday night

 

[Crammy Mackem]

Fantastic programme.

A load of the episodes were on Youtube for a while.

I've been rewatching them on the Kodi.

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]
