- Many words have been written about how the US takes and ruins British shows but once in a long while, the reverse is true. Here is an episode of the sole series of Days Like These which was ITV's attempt to redo That 70s Show for a British audience. This episode is a remake of same 70s Show script in season one, The Pill. Interestingly, if you look at the Internet Movie Database, you'll see that many of this cast went on to have very successful careers and others just faded into professional obscurity.
The timing is off and all the male characters look like each other. Strangely though, if you told me this show was actually shot in the 70s, I'd believe it. The filming quality is the same as British 70s shows.
British shows... the filming is in a much lower definition. The UK entertainment industry doesn't have as much money as that in the US.
It was filmed on vintage 70s bbc cameras.
Get some good scripts, good actors, original characters and they could do a show about a group of friends hitting the end of adolescence in the 70s. Maybe a dramady, not a sitcom. When British tv is good, it's very very good!
it's like watching a high school play rendition of that 70s show
Lol whoa dude i just commented exact same thing then seen this message lol great minds think alike
Yep.
@@jrwizzwasn’t it made by same people though
gcse performimg arts be like:
No it really isn't.
Eric looks so much like Emma Stone and it makes me uncomfortable
I can’t stop watching these.... they’re making me appreciate the American version a lot more
I think if given a chance this would have been okay but the American version was great I still love it. I own all 8 seasons on dvd sadly Netflix the butts took it off for some reason 🙄
Why does it look like they used actual video recording equipment from the 70s ?
LuHound the Brits are COMMITTED!
LuHound because they did
@@pigeontoedjane lol who cares! still they couldn't save this fucking awful show.
Surely it would have looked better when broadcast. I think the poor quality is due to this being a home recording from a VHS Recording made by someone at home. I wish a streaming service would have a laugh and release it in whole so we could see all 13 episodes at broadcast quality
The look of it is far from the central problem. Never liked the original either, but this is very poor in terms of recreating the UK 70s.
I hate it but I can't look away.... so so bad
This feels so off. I DON'T LIKE IT. It's like I went back in time and affected the future and this is the weird "not as good as the original" that 70's show that was created.
so OBVIOUSLY this was a remake of the original FUNNY yank version....
I liked this version. It was a breath of fresh air. The British accents were the element that made it different. Like That 70's Show; a parallel universe.
So Fez is like swedish or something in this one. Awesome..
Honestly kinda feels more realistic than the real one. Dry, Awkward, it’s like life
For me that's the problem, the people in this feel real. While the American one never feels real but is hightened. Therefore they should have done more editing of the story's to suit the direction they were giving the characters.
Not as well-acted as the American version, a lot of awkward moments, 95% verbatim and just the overall feeling that it's nothing more than a cheap rip-off. I'm glad this show didn't go 8 seasons like the original.
8 seasons!! If this lasted for an entire season I would have sued the entire cast and crew of this super horrible thing.
lmao
this is hilariously and appallingly terrible if you're familiar with the original episode
There's a few small jokes they added in that I'm not certain were in the original that got a laugh from me, still tho, this shit is like watching a parallel dimension where no one has any clue how to act
"I'm carrying Micheal Kelso's love child"
Rando leaving the restroom "eww"
That one got me
I feel like I've been sent to the twilight zone.
Wow it's like the entire cast was beaten nearly to death with the entire ugly tree
Neg Ative untrue
@@gamarrasmr9503 nope
@Sam Iam British Donna looks like a haunted melting wax figure
nice attempt at a joke mate
Soooo awkward. I grew up watching 70’s show and this is just disgraceful.
Eric did not go off to Africa he moved to Britain 🇬🇧 lol 😂
These are binge worthy! Loving a different perspective on my favorite show.
What a horrible show. This could be used as punishment.
Well in this version, Fez looks more foxy than Kelso, kelso dress more rockin lookin than hyde, and hyde talkin random things and dress "pop out" more than Fez
I will admit this version of Fez is kind of cute
I'm pretty sure British teenagers don't talk like this. They use a lot more banter and slang.
Painfully hard to watch..... it’s like my eyes and ears were kicked in the nuts
I miss Bob's Wiscaaaansin accent.
This is a cold, stale version of that 70s show. With weaker characters. Maybe you have to be peaking for it to be funny, like Frasier.
It's like a car wreck, I cant stop looking.
I'm British and even I prefer the American version
OMG! 12:55; Donna dressed like a Bond Girl!!!! Love it!
Barbarella
You have to commend how great the writing was from the original show that it's still as funny with UK actors saying the same jokes. It universally transcends all cultures and languages no matter what setting it's put in. That '70s Show will always be one of the greatest sitcoms ever. Love it!
This also sounds like a laugh track was added opposed to being filmed in front of a live audience, which could explain the lack of energy throughout this series.
What's everyone complaining about? This show isn't that bad. It's actually pretty funny.
jeez this was so bad that its funny
This was an ok show, but it didn't quite work - sort of the opposite of most English sitcoms that go to the U.S.
British sitcoms.
Like he said,do some research..this is a British Remake of the USA Original version..if you watch the pilot,its almost identical..
Only 13 episodes were made and only 10 were aired... Kind of cool to watch thou..
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading
QueenBiancaBrookes are you for real? I couldn’t last 5 minutes before giving up.
QueenBiancaBrookes i liked it too
Lol pretty sure you haven't watched the original one.
they got a pretty cool garage ngl
Some of the scenes felt like the just went with the first take when you know the source material
The perfect comparison between the two is the theme songs. This one’s singing is so awkward, where in the original they look like they’re genuinely having a good time.
Eric's sister on here is the red head teacher from bad teacher
I had no idea there was a british version. it really has a different feel, they play it too serious. Oh wow ,Lucy punch plays Eric's sister ! She had a small role in 2011 movie Take me home tonight with Topher Grace ( OG eric).
This is surreal.
Winter Steele it’s like a bad dream
Hell this would've been the best show to write for being that it is word for word from that 70s show, lol
the acting between that 70s show and this is not even close to comparable
They gave us Sanford and Son as well as All in the Family, and they get Days Like These in return
The guy who plays the British version of Fez sounds like he’s Dutch. My cousins are Dutch and he sounds just like them, and it’s the exact same as that 70’s show both are great tho! I seen all the episodes !
This is so crazy to watch. Its like watching a bad high school play of 70s show lmao
Two words: This sucks!
that 70s show walmart version
That opening... So awful...
I love how they made fes german
He's Swedish
Swedish, actually.
His accent is charming. This version of Fez is cute in my opinion.
Well, that pharmacy scene was underwhelming!
Is that Lucy Punch playing Laurie
I'm kinda scared watchin this
Classic McGuire!!
?! It's so weird and different...
The part where the pharmacist tells Bob that Donna is on the pill is totally off. Eric was supposed to bug out and crash into the counter, then run away. This version is too slow!
Is that? Is she that teacher from bad teacher
Yes, she is
its like a weird dejavu
Not good, not good at all.
10:05 to 10:12 is an amusing little segment.
wow... this is so bad
I don't know what is worst this or that 80s show
Someone cut off the end of the episode.
Thats 70's show was out before this I'm pretty sure
I need the last 2 eps I seen they made 10 of these does any one know where I can watch the last 2
hold on! didn't the blonde one had a minor role in hot fuzz?
The one playing Helen? Yup.
Román Cordera eve draper
The acting is soooo bad
Wow that's amazing but I think I like the American version better
Wasn't British Laurie in the movie "Bad Teacher"? Looks exactly like her
God, this is soooo weird watching this and the original show back to back
Second episode I've watched, I still don't know Hyde's equivalents name
Like Kelso, his first name is also Michael but his last is McGuire.
Anglogirl Kelsie equivalents name is Michael McGuire, this mirrors the first season of that 70's show, Jackie and Hyde hadn't gotten together yet
Wow this episode is the same exact copy of one of the season 1 episodes
tried to copy that 70s show...failed...horribly
Dylan Waters this show was made my the same people as the original
I really don't understand why people always remake films from UK to USA version (or the other way round). Aren't those both in English?? Way can't just keep them in the original version nicely?!!!! The remade versions always break my heart...
Dontbe On9 in America any time a British show comes on TV we run to the TV as fast as possible to change the channel. The accent is so jarring, weird and annoying to the ears and ruins any dramatic effect of the acting.
There's American English, and there's British English, each with their own phrasing and slang terms. While much of the original dialogue was kept from the original, some words & phrases were changed in this version to fit a British audience.
Dontbe On9 - We may both be English-speaking countries, but that doesn't mean that we don't have cultural differences, particularly when it comes to sayings, phrases and humour. American English is just older English that hasn't changed much since us British were there in the colonial times, whereas the English language that we speak here in the United Kingdom has changed and evolved so much even in the last 100 years. It's a lot more slang-based with variations depending on which part of Britain you're from than the English language in the US, which is a lot more stagnant. Also, American humour is a lot more direct and obvious, whereas us British have a more subtle sense of humour that's dry and ironic. US humour just doesn't contain irony, so if a comedy from over here gets sold to the US and shown on television over there, the deadpan humour we have would go over the heads of the American audience. And likewise if a US comedy with the very in-your-face homour that the Americans do so well got sold and shown on television over here. So in order for that to be avoided, comedies get remade in both our countries - although it's to a greater extent in the US with our comedies. So it should never be assumed that just because we're both Anglophone nations that we're the same because we're not!
that 70s first then this crap
Bob look just like miniature miniature bob
this kelso version try’s copying the americans version facial expressions
Having vaguely watched the original and nothing really to compare it this to it aint so bad. It also really looks like an old british sitcom wish it had the wit.
8:05 this joke doesn't make sense because there is no drinking age in the UK
there is a drinking age in the uk and ireland,its 18
I call bullshit
Mic Chek Call whatever you want. As a citizen of the UK I can tell you there IS a legal drinking age and it is 18.
www.gov.uk/alcohol-young-people-law
There are exceptions brah.
no exceptions ya tit,im irish and im pretty sure i couldnt drink till i was 18.in a pub
I just saw the original episode and this remake just does not give it justice. For some reason the acting isn't nearly as funny.
Something's just very off about this. These British actors just don't aren't good at working with the American source material. Normally I'm a big fan of britcoms and hate the American adaptations (office) but this is a rare case where the Brits butchered an American favorite.
Having watched a few of these to be honest we the fans of that 70 show really cannot compare the two. The kids in this series did not stand a chance. And as far as I'm concerned the only good actors in This production is the man that plays Red Forman and the girls that play Donna and Jackie. I Having lived in the 70s can relate to that show and it's just not there for the remake
Donna is not even a red head
the acting. i-
I tried but I just can't watch this...I'm going to go watch the real That 70's Show.
The characters just don't work the same....
This THE HUB is better than the other one....
You know why us americans do not like this remake? i do. But most do not. Because we are not used to decent humans beings(friends). The diff between this one and the original. The cast really seem like real friends lol. Unlike the funny making fun of each other us version.
exactly same script as the real one. just watched this episode. wtf. why would you bother? this is awful.
Why am I enjoying this? Lol
Dude this is so horrible thats its awesome. I love the britts take on America, a lil insulting at times but hey we dog on them too so...
dan pena
Funny do some research, That 70's Show came out first haha
the intro is sooooo bad omg
I kinda like it
This is worse than that 80s show lol
Ugh wtf
The casting was awful...
I liked it, but the original american version is better
