I'm considering putting a DVD together of these episodes. If anyone is interested?. I have all but 1 of season 2, all of season 3, All of World cup 98 and Euro 04. I'm hoping someone else has season 1 (93/94).
Got all the video releases too. No idea if mine are recorded LP or SP. I'm guessing I must be as similar age because I wasn't allowed to stay up late for it either, my dad would record it for me and I'd watch it on the Saturday morning, haha. Although when I watch it back these days I still get and understand all the jokes.
Yeah, I always thought the main reason was because most of the jokes were topical. Although I'm sure there was a big enough original audience who would remember what the jokes were about who would buy it on DVD now. I think the only episode I have from the first series is the one with Andrew Ridgely and Eddie Large, which is typical as that episode is already on youtube. I've still got a lot from the '94-'95 season and nearly all of World Cup'98, and I've got the 2004 DVD.
@cantonabentex Yes, do it, please. I still have a few taped off the telly but the quality is poor now. And so many episodes that I miss and haven't seen for years, and would love to see again. No idea why there hasn't been any sort of 'official' release of this great show.
well done for uploading this Sir! great memories of this show, staying up late on a friday to watch it. bits like Pele was shite, the constant piss taking of saint and greeves and Jason Lee, and Nayim From The Halfway Line! hahaha awesome!
evening chaps. anyone know which episode the letissier monologue is in? 'so what he's got a big arse, so what he looks like he doesnt give a toss' thats all i remember. thanks so much for uploading these
I wish I could get hold of more season 1 episodes only two. Thanks to Cantona Bentex I need only eps 2, 4 and 5 from series 2. And I got all of Series 3.
@theflyintheointment the reason is probably because a lot of the jokes are topical. Plus the guest may have only signed contracts for the original broadcast. They would have to renegotiate with EVERYONE. Do you have any from the first series?
@theflyintheointment That's a shame. I didn't watch any from 93/94 at the time. I was only a young boy & it was on too late. :) I have the 2004 DVD too....plus all the released videos. Even the phoenixes from the FA cup final '94. It's a lot of work digitalizing them all! btw, this clip was recorded off the TV too (I'm not a BBC worker!) & the quality seems very good. Are yours recorded in LP? From experience the SP recordings are as good as when I first played them back.
@theflyintheointment ha, yes...I've just turned 32 and I see you're 28, I've uploaded episode 2 from 94/95. I'm currently uploading a show from 2004 with Ledly King. I up-scaled it to HD.as I was lucky enough to have a DVD recorder then. When it's up let me know what you think of the quality. I think I can improve the 94/95 videos by removing some of the hiss on the audio and a higher res encoding. The 2004 clip I can change the audio, but the visual is the best I can do.
Plans for anymore FFL uploads? Thanx for these anyway. There are a few more eps dotted around YT but not many. Wish I used to tape these, I got all the Euros and World Cups on VHS somewhere but no Premiership apart from the Avalon compilations. Please if you get a chance, more. Gonna watch this the two others then some Eric. Thanx
