❤❤❤We being Scottish watched Rikki faithfully every New Year. No matter where we were, we made sure that we were home for Scotch Rhy. Thank you Rikki I'm sure your with your precious wife in heaven. I will always love and adore you. You were the tonic Scotland needed.❤❤❤❤❤
A masterclass. At its height, "Scotch and Wry" had viewing figures of more than half of Scotland, and in a tribute to Rikki Fulton, the Director of BBC Scotland - on learning of his death - said that such figures would never be equalled; for Scotland, Hogmanay WAS Rikki Fulton.
Absolutely loved this, Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 where dae ye get yer watter fae 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely brilliant, one of funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣 RIP Rikki Fulton 🙏🙏 I'm from Scotland 🏴
Sometimes humor doesn't always hold its value but that could never be said about this lovely, man. He's a genius & one of the best writers/comedy actors we have ever produced. Thank u Rikki!
My dad, God rest his soul, would roar at this. A Scots Irish Catholic, who like the rest of the young population would turn off such late night sanctomy, he couldn't believe what seeing when it first aired. What a gem of a comedian .
I'm a brummie roman Catholic and I have to admit that I have seen the local Catholic parish Priest in my mammy's house at around 10pm after he had just visited a few more of his parishioners and he had a "wee drink in each house " he was totally banjaxed by the time that he arrived at our house
Remember Rikki and Gregor in the 70s. This little diamond is a masterclass in character acting - utterly believable and stone dead, perfect comic timing. Lovely man - hugely under-recognised, hugely missed.
I would have to say that this is the funniest sketch I've ever seen. I saw it when first aired and I still laugh out loud. Absolute comic genius. Thank whoever for you tube, for so many years I waited to see it again pre internet.
21:07 The comedic genius of this man is still responsible for spreading medicine to the masses through the medium of laughter. This clip has got to be one of - if not the(e) - finest moments of his career; still hillariously funny after 46 years. It's such a shame that the rest of the United Kingdom, and the world, were denied having Scotch and Wry on their TV screens every Hogmany. Thank god for You Tube
came across videos of rikki fulton by pure chance a few months ago and i'm so glad I did, the tears i've dropped due to laughter at this man. An absolute genius at what he did. RIP Rikki
Every year at Hogmanay in our house out come the Scotch n Wry DVDs :) The rubbish you get on telly now just can't compare. Even watching it on god knows how many repeats it still has us crying with laughter.
Just braw, I first saw this when I was about 8 when it came out. Great poke at the weary willies that did the religious spot on the telly of an evening. Still have a good chortle at this now.
Old granny Henderson Teandalloch Cottage, many New Years ago Would have a wee sherry 🍶 🍷 Topped up with Lemonade (locally made..) And as the sherry was being topped up, she was getting more legless, it was 100% proof clear whisky 🥃, from the local Distillery in Muir of Ord, that was in the lemonade bottle She wasn't complaining..
Johnny Mac does a brilliant solo version of this sketch as part of the Francie And Josie tribute Pure Neuralgia, with Liam Dolan as Francie, and Johnny himself as Josie
You’ll remember what Duteronomy said to Leviticus about exodus. Memories of sitting in mass not having a clue what they were all on about as a wean🤣…funniest man ever. Rip Rikki❤️
You have to be a certain age to appreciate this. First off you have to remember the Minister at the end of the day on TV, otherwise it has no connection to nowadays.
I love how he goes from the posh Scottish accent at the start down to the guttural Scottish accent by the end, getting harsher the more he gets pissed.
This is a parody of what Scots people had to endure at the end of the night before the television programmes ended. Before the advent of all night television the programmes ceased at 12 o'clock unless it was a Friday when a horror film would be shown. Rikki's parody is all too real and immensely funny
Before STV's epilogues finally ceased around 1990 it saw fit to inflict not just one, but two of them on viewers - Morning Call at 9.50am and Evening Call at 10.35pm.
