Bairnardo Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ugh. I desperately hope not.Why else leave everyones death at some undetermined point in the future. I thought they would have done something really poignant but for me it was a cop out. Isa finding both Jack and Victor away together or something like that. Or one of them finding the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, it was just lazy. They couldn't think of anything better, or couldn't be arsed to think of anything better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the easiest tearjearker in comedy writing history. Hence why I suspect its deliberate to leave it open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) The ending was the best bit. Sad and poignant, but still celebrating their lives rather than emphasising their inevitable deaths. I loved all the fade out bits. And even Bobby getting to have the final word. I thought The Clansman was gonna fade out, too, either to dissappear, turn into housing or, worse, some shitey gastropub. Pleased to see it's still there in the future.

If I was reading into it for some deep and meaningful I would say it was to show that there was nothing special about these people Just normal members of a wee community. No fanfare when they went and the community went on without them. I would have preferred a more conventional ending though as I cant shake off what I have said above. Its to avoid finality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I thought it was with an eye towards the stage show being the final ending but yeah it is kept open. Can't see them bringing it back full time but I suppose you can't rule out a hogmanay special or something similar down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point. But the inference is that they didnt die the day it finished and as such leaves an indeterminate amount of time in which they can be easily explained as still going 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont see that its clearly been left open for more? You can both be right. They are all dead... at some indertiminate point in the future. They could still squeeze in more episodes before that point. I really hope they don't as I thought the last couple of minutes was near perfect. My biggest fear would be that they do a show showing them as young men back in the day, like First of the Summer Wine. That would be an abomination.

When it went on its hiatus, there was chat of them going down this route. Swiftly shelved thankfully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it once for a Hogmanay show as a flashback and it actually worked really well but only as a one off, definitely wouldn't work as an actual series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, given that it showed them meeting for the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
