Brilliant play, filmed completely on location in Greenock/Port Glasgow, originally screened 8th November 1979, if you're from Glasgow or that area it's something you can instantly identify with, it feels quite special to be because of that, not only that but I was exactly 2 months old when it first aired! It's a window on what Glasgow was like around that time!
These TV dramas were extraordinarily gritty and authentic in comparison with the generally mediocre stuff that's screened today. Good to see Gregor Fisher in a supporting role
Anything Ken Hutchison is in I'll watch! I've had a thing for this guy since Straw Dogs,1971! Having lived in Oban for several years,I learned how to understand their deep Scottish accent. I may be Yank,but I'm one who listens.
This was a very realistic depiction of bars on Friday nights in deprived areas of Scotland, especially places like Greenock and even Stranraer, where I grew up.
Yup... it's pure dead magic so it is... :-) I've now got the only copy in existence of "That Sinking Feeling" too on DVD with the original soundtrack and by that I mean full DVD quality not a VHS copy... Took me a week of solid work to restore the original Glaswegian soundtrack and get rid of the "hoity toity Embra wan" they mucked up the DVD release with... :-)
Does anybody remember the Chewin The Fat Sketch where they took the pish oot o films like this? Av been tryin tae track it doon but cannae remeber the series/episode. Any help greatly appreciated. "At's ma bird" "Serves ye right" Magic! Ma Tea's oot, Ya dancer.
The band in this scene are The Cuban Heels who were formed after Johnny and The Self-Abusers split up - so is that Jim Kerr that's the singer in the group? I cant tell from the brief clips here.
@blueparrot989 Odd that !!! My old VCR must have had a built in time machine or been very slow at picking up tv signals when I recorded it in 1994 from BBC 2... ;-) Just A Boys Game and That Sinking Feeling just two of the greatest things Scotland gave to the world... Just wish someone would make some more of these type of plays/ films instead of the American crap we get these days... :-)
@@lacymcduffie3297 You're probably correct. I was quoting a line from the end of the film (not shown in this clip) where Jake McQuillen and McAfferty (the bloke who slashes McQuillen at 5:30 ) finally meet up and fight. What line were you referring to? .. I mean, at what point in the clip?
Awwra best stuff comes oota Scotland ya bas!!!This is totally Phenomenal,Just Phenomenally fuckin Phenominal...See us scots,see if we wurr sober...just wans,we`d batter ye!!
The VHS video has the original soundtrack but the DVD is dubbed with posh accents for the American market that ruined the movie and they withdrew the DVD from sale because of the complaints... I've sent a message to you explaining it all... :-)
@spenny24950361 It was in Burns Square and was burnewd down shortly after filming. INteriors though were done at the bar near thre footie ground, can't mind the name off hand!
