I'm an American, and this wasn't written for me, but this is one of my favorite bits of TV all the same. I revisit this once every few years. It hits on something American TV is scared to touch: how many white domestic terrorists start out just being poor, frustrated guys with nowhere to go and nothing to lose. Albie's last speech is haunting and accurate from an American perspective. I don't think it's that far off from how a lot of these real-life guys see themselves.
Jimmy McGovern and Dennis Potter were/are by far the finest (script) writers on English tv, imo. Superb story telling with an incredible bunch of truly outstanding actors. They were for me the best of years. Cheers!
I used to get stoned back in the day when this first aired and when the interrogation scenes were playing i was so overwhelmed but the intensity. Remarkable writing and acting
Intense! No, it’s not underrated, it is well-rated & highly rated. It led to future success for both Coltrane & Carlyle. Harry Potter, Full Monty The Beach, Once upon A Time. So there!
The guy that played Albie did a fantastic job! This is the first time I have seen this show. The guy that played Fitz did a fantastic job also! I live in the USA and PREFER these shows over ours any day!!! So much better!!!!
One of the most shocking UK TV dramas I have ever seen.,.can't beat UK drama, writers, actors etc etc .,and that was then ....look at what they have achieved.,,.we rock .,check out my Welsh hinderland xx
The actor of that name, or the character he plays? Yes, the Character, 'Jim Best' is one nasty bit of work, the type that gives all police a bad name; But the Actor...?
I enjoyed the movie, it had me Feeling kind of tence. Movies like this Movie Gives Psycho's out there Ideas. It is what it is. It's the Kind of WORLD Which we Lived In. At Present Putin's Exsicuting Mass Murdering of Innocents And 1/2 The WORLD is Staving. One Country is Holding the rest of the World Hostage. 5 🌟☮️.
They don't arm their cops in the UK, and back then operations were a lot closer to the ground like that. If you're American (like I am) you grow up thinking all cops are similar to occupying military forces, but that is not the case in many first world countries.
My Great Grandmother was full blooded Blackfoot and my Great Grandfather was German....so "me" and "myself" don't get along very well, and "I" just get in there to give them both a hard time.
I had no idea that caps were considered rude, I thought they were like to make more of a point, to make someone see how much you wanted something, and I'll never do it again like that! My bad, and I never put my credit card on-line anyways. It is just that those shows were on UA-cam, the ones I want are not on sites like PrimeWire, and they are the ones I love the most. Thanks!
" If you answered the door yourself you bone idle bitch" the way you could talk to women in the 90's, and in all fairness she;d give just as good back. Miss the good old days.
Your loss lad. This is one of the best pieces of television drama ever. Sums up the sense of despair and anger every British working class male goes through at some point.
***** This country probably will blow come next election. All the dominoes are lined up and they're about to fall. Funny enough what Albie says in this episode could be more relevant now than ever.
When I think Carlyle I think of Hitler, and bloody Madonnas ex husband Very under rated actor and when I think Coltrane I think of Mona Lisa with Bob Hoskins, another fine actor Hell im just a colonial hahaha, also an Anglophile
Wow! Dr. Who, "Beggbe" from Trainspotting and a man so fat he must be from America. Funny bit is that they don't have fat actors that are stars in America. The only fat star I can name is John Candy and he was Canadian.
Seth Rogen, Zack Galifrinakis, Jack Black, Phillip Seymour Hoffmann, Drew Carey, Kenan Thomson, Kevin James, John Goodman, Orsen Wells, Danny Devito, Jason Alexamder, Vincent Pastore, Oliver Hardy, Paul Giamatti, George Wendt, Kevin Smith, John Belucci etcetera

Shocking when I first saw this... brilliant... bloody marvelous. UK drama at it's best xxxx
Robert Carlyle & Robbie Coltrane along with a great storyline- it doesn't get any better! Thanks so much for posting this 😊

I haven't seen this in over twenty years but Robert Carlyle's exceptional performance was ingrained in my memory. Thank you for these uploads Meggi.
There was excellent TV years before the HBO/NETFLIX era. This was the daddy of them all.
Thank you for posting this great series
I used to get stoned back in the day when this first aired and when the interrogation scenes were playing i was so overwhelmed but the intensity. Remarkable writing and acting
awesome fabulous cast , art reflecting life with lots of depth and perception thank YOU
One of the most shocking British drama of it's time ...amazing actors amazing script.
exceptional upload i am now 55 and remember this is my teens and watching this thanks for uploading
Robbie Coltrane! HAGRID!! And of course Cracker. And so many others...LOVE!!
Intense!
No, it’s not underrated, it is well-rated & highly rated. It led to future success for both Coltrane & Carlyle.
Harry Potter, Full Monty The Beach, Once upon A Time.
So there!
The part that made Robert Carlyle. A cracking good series that is much missed.
@Chris Mooney,
Indeed! Well, at least Mr. McGovern's brilliant series 'The Street' and 'Accused' are uploaded, too. :)
Robert Carlisle is a great actor in reality hey mate
@@OakleyANDSittingBull iì⁹and me

Why are the US shows so poor? It's an interesting question. Though, there appear to be some pretty good US tv shows recently.
sean michael Wilson I was asking my friends that very same question just this morning!!
sean michael Wilson
I haven't watched US TV in ages!! I watch either British Shows or older US shows and Cartoons! LOL!!
Tia Jet Ne Yu
FUNNY!! LOL!! You have a very cool name!!
Thank you! It is Cherokee..Most ppl assume that I am Asian lol.
Perhaps the finest TV episode made in history.
You're forgetting such great shows as Spatz, Fun House and Finders Keepers
Robert does it again. I was wonding how he felt about cats? Really happy they caught him. Good show!
First time watching and it's 2020
Love this !
Wow! Really keeps you on edge! And the charactes are fab, so horribly human!...
I've been looking for everything Robert Carlyle has made and this is one that I thought I would never have the chance to see. Thanks for uploading it.
Meggi is a thief who uploaded it, BUT had NOTHING to do with it.
Please DO NOT SUBSCRIBE or LIKE.
Albie's (Carlyle's) transformation is a bit like De Niro's in Taxi Driver.
really appreciate for uploading this sir a rimember watching it as a kid about 18-19 years ago trying to find it since...
They were both in a James Bond movie. Coltrane & Carlyle in The World is not Enough
That copper made no attempt to defend himself, he just stood there and got knifed, my God!
what was he suppose to do? he had a bayonet
13:40: "He was a skinhead, you know what I mean? They all look alike." Nice touch. :)
One of the most shocking UK TV dramas I have ever seen.,.can't beat UK drama, writers, actors etc etc .,and that was then ....look at what they have achieved.,,.we rock .,check out my Welsh hinderland xx
awesome ...........been looking for this for years thanks.
With people like you on his tail Lord Lucan must be worried sick.
Robbie Carlyle is a great actor.Lorcan Cranitch is the epitome of evil
The actor of that name, or the character he plays? Yes, the Character, 'Jim Best' is one nasty bit of work, the type that gives all police a bad name; But the Actor...?
Best show ever!!
I am traumatized....Rumplestiltskin just killed The Doctor
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Hahahaha ;)
Jimmy McGovern's best work
The Street (three seasons) is incredible as well.
The part that also made Christopher Ecclestone
Welcome back Dr.
Thanks for the upload! Brilliant
"COME ON YOU REDS"!🤨⚽🥅🔴🚩🇬🇧
Great series!
Beck missed a massive clue,his combat jacket was hung up in the hallway.
He messed up a bit didn't he? Loved this series when it was on tv. Never seen this one before, an excellent episode!
so Hagrid used to solve crimes with The Doctor
And Harry’s mum
Remember watching this in 94 or 95 on TV. Grippling
sad thing that this kind of thing is still happening in 2018 . some people still think this way sad really

if only he would have let him drop in the 4p later on........
The Plumbers!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Wow! I really enjoyed this :-)
Great!!!!
As good as it gets.
v. v. good
where is that nuke plant with 4 cooling towers seen in the beginning cemetery scene?
why didn't he just settle for the 40 box....
Yes.
Don't get it.. Unarmed cops rushing in behind cops without backup...
They don't arm their cops in the UK, and back then operations were a lot closer to the ground like that. If you're American (like I am) you grow up thinking all cops are similar to occupying military forces, but that is not the case in many first world countries.
Hagrid and Lily Potter!
Thanx so much for uploading this video. Have you got a clue where to get the episode : to say I love you?
I Saw young Simon in this movie, Brilliant Simon!!!
Never , ever get on the wrong side of a scouse
Wow!
Eight items !!
Good series where is the rest of them?
👍👍👍👏👏🥰🤗
Does anyone know what 'Albie' is short for? I can only think of Albigensian. Which isn't very likely.
Ah. 1h27 in and I see it's Albert. Which is straight out of the School of the Bleedin' Obvious. Hangs head in shame...
@@douglasmilton2805 Worse things to be ashamed of, but I know the feeling 🤣
10:39 callums corner
Are we supposed to feel sorry for the miserable shop keeper. Was it wort 4p? Stinchy bollox
***** LoooooooooooooooooooooL! Ich hab gehört die Russen kommen. Watch out, JunkietownOverflow! Muahahahahahahaha!
My Great Grandmother was full blooded Blackfoot and my Great Grandfather was German....so "me" and "myself" don't get along very well, and "I" just get in there to give them both a hard time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I watched this 2x still don't understand what Hillsboro was.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster
Do you know what a search engine is on the internet?
Hillsborough
^All ready to copy and paste now.
Cracker lwill come London with Penninnah December
Good grief, but Robert Carlyle's halfway to Max Shreck.
PLEASE PUT ALL THE EPISODES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU CAN'T DO ALL PUT 911 ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found best boys episode on daily motion

Me too
SUBTÍTULOS, NO😢 DDISPONIBLES
What have they Done .all that crap on the screen. Can't get rid of
An angry man possessed by demonic forces assumes he is the devil, and plays his part.d
" If you answered the door yourself you bone idle bitch" the way you could talk to women in the 90's, and in all fairness she;d give just as good back. Miss the good old days.
Women in the workplace: Competing against men, while also hunting them... What a mess.
is this not the handbag site you were looking for?
Movie length episodes? I haven't got time for this shit.
Your loss lad. This is one of the best pieces of television drama ever. Sums up the sense of despair and anger every British working class male goes through at some point.

It's a 3-parter, knobhead.
U should try working nights as a min wage security guard then!!
Why construct a TV series around a character that is an arrogant narcissistic drunk, which is such a boring character in comparison to the story
16:40
2:24:00
Really? A police officer chases a suspect into a perpetrator's house w/o back-up nor a weapon. Don't insult the viewer's intelligence.
Bristish police don't carry weapons with them, they need a special permission to
@@abudidita yes, I know that & my Staten still stands.
When I think Carlyle I think of Hitler, and bloody Madonnas ex husband
Very under rated actor and when I think Coltrane I think of Mona Lisa with Bob Hoskins, another fine actor
Hell im just a colonial hahaha, also an Anglophile
A squeaky posh woman working for Greater Manchester Police - how realistic.
