The Likely Lads

[osprey]

Does anyone remember the episode in which Terry and Bob meet up again in a train compartment and Terry goes through nearly every country finding fault with every nation and onto the Scots, Irish or Welsh before finishing up disliking people outside the North-East and not being to enamoured with people in his street? Anyone know where I could find a transcript of the script?

The radio version of that episode was on BBC7 last week. It is the first episode of "Whatever Happened to The Likely Lads".

Some of the episodes were transcripted in books in the 1970's for schools, the British Library may have a copy, though I don't know if it will contain that episode.

May well be on DVD.

Here's a excerpt of the piece you mean from the BBC site...

On people�

Terry "I haven't got much time for the Irish or the Welsh, and the Scots are worse than the Koreans".

Bob "And you never could stand southerners".

Terry "To tell you the truth I don't much like anyone outside this town. And there aren't many families down our street that I can stand".

I seem to remember that that was included in the Ant and Dec episode . Wasn't it the episode where they're trying to avoid hearing the footie result? I remember that they met up again on a train in the first episode but I thought that particular conversation took place in a pub.

Great series.
