Not dead, just rewatching Phoenix Nights 20 years later.
The zenith of his career imo. Just sublime.
Phoenix nights is 20 years old? Fuuuuuuuu...
You are the wind beneath my wheels.
…the ping pong balls! 🤣🤣🤣
…have you swept that cock up yet! 🤣🤣🤣
'The things I'll do to you, just you wait' whilst holding hands on a stairlift with the undercover DSS inspector.🤣
You watching on DVD? Don’t think it’s available on any streaming platform.
You know your getting old when you remember buying the boxsets on VHS
Bottom.
Vic and bob's big night out.
Nighty night ECT.
What would Thora Hird do?
Dodgy Amazon stick from a lad down the Phoenix streams all the things 🍺🥳😉
It's got a twenty foot cock and balls man!
I bought the DVDs yonks ago. They’re coming on this weekend.
“Keith Lard is in no way associated with Keith Laird, Bolton Fire Safety Officer”.
Is that a dog?
Phoenix nights is 20 years old? Fuuuuuuuu…
it was Sharon stones 61st Birthday recently….
Sharon Stone looks like a million dollars
@ 61 you look like a million pesetas
Just pop em up ya flue and 10 minutes later bobs your uncle. (Ladies Night)
In our house chicken and mushroom pies are always known as Snake eye pies.
I’ve heard a rumour this week about the whole streaming thing and lack of dvd availability. Spikey and Kay being in dispute over royalties???
Come get your black bin bags!
The DVD box set gets dug out regularly in my house. Relatable for me too seeing as I've spend a fair few nights at the typical northern WMC
I’m waaaay overdue a watch. This thread has motivated me to dig the dvds out the cupboard! So many good scenes.
“Stranraer?! In Scotland?! Tonight!! Ooh my angina. You wanna sing at me funeral cos it’s coming” 🤣🤣🤣
Three nine nine five.
The zenith of his career imo. Just sublime.
Absolutely agree
He (& spikey) got something just right with it
Wife & I rewatched them in lockdown and it was brilliant
"It's a 20ft cock & balls man"
How far away are they?
‘I’m getting a word…’
Damn, i now have to try and buy a boxset!!
Next!
From the opening scenes - Colon Care with Bob Carolgees I knew the references were going to be spot on.
And the racist folk band....
And I still can't hear Stranraer on the football scores without doing the voice
GET BACK YOU *** I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS! GET BACK YOU *** I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS!
...A Nazi bandit that pays out in Deutschmarks
I'll hold up my hand, I've watched very little Phoenix Nights. Maybe a handful of episodes. However this:
How far away are they?
makes me giggle like a halfwit every time I think about it. McGuinness's delivery was award-worthy.
It's throwaway stuff like this which just creases me. Like in Blackpool, flowers taped to a lamp-post in loving memory of Alan Bradley. Never referenced, just there in the background. Or (IIRC) Paddy having Kay in his phone book as Ironside.
I probably should revisit it.
Geraldine McQueen and Car Share hit the same highs as well.
I like the fact that he doesn't just churn product out unless it's been worked to perfection, not just the script but every detail of how it's recorded and filmed.
Piss-flaps?
I used to have the DVD box set but don't know what happened to them. Loved all the out takes as well. Some on YouTube.
However this:
How far away are they?
I still say it if we see a shetland pony, to much eye rolling.
“What made you apply for this job?”
“The DSS”
I know a pissed horse when I see one...
Someone get it a kebab
Surprised no one's mentioned the broom handled Mauser yet?
Watched a few youtube clips this morning and the detail does it for me, the bit where the TV get's nicked and there's 5 or 6 old blokes just watching a documentary on the life cycle of an amoeba while it happens.
When he get's stuck on the landing in the stair chair and there's just a framed picture of a pit bull terrier on the wall, someones obviously thought what would he have on the wall here, oh yeah, a pic of a pit bull, love that. Hate it when a comedy is just one dimensional and really surface light kind of thing
'Who popped his head out of the tent next to me, only Robert De Niro, De Niro loves Rhyl, he's making the next Deerhunter there' - love that kind of stuff that get's added here and there
Tommy Dickfingers!
Got the box set, must get it out again. It's just link our static campsite's club, reminds me all the time.
I've not seen them this excited since they printed that paedophiles address in the papers
Can you hear me now?
Hear you? I can see you, you Dick!
I've never really watched them properly but know all the references, especially "how far away are they?" - gets used for anything small (half pints, espressos etc)
I’ve seen the future…
Chicken Kievs
Garlic?
On bread?
I still say it if we see a shetland pony, to much eye rolling.
Next door neighbour isn’t very tall. He’s known as “Howfar away is he?” by our entire family.
Absolutely class is phoenix nights !!
Robot wars max and paddy manually destroying kids machines 🤣
“Come and get your black bin bags…”
Kay and McGuinness were a great double act.
Shame that McGuinness has turned into an irritating fart.
Bitches.... If I hadn't o'farted, they'd have ripped me head off.
Never watched it but will try and get a watch of it as I seemed to miss it when it was first on - too busy out riding my bike (back then I did ride my bike every day!).
Good call OP, series 1 & 2 on the way 🙂
