BFTD Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nothing screams "I'm not bothered" like multiple cry/laugh emojis. Bulletproof. Tam's still got a bit of an obsession with people not posting their contact details on internet forums.

Obv got an axe to grind with Tam, probably think he's a secret Currant Bun which is certainly on brand, but at least admit when you made a clanger. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't much, if any, ethnic diversity in Glasgow (and much less in the wider central belt) at the time, and using epithets such as "chinky" or "darkie" were considered as acceptable, if slightly uncouth, descriptives. Considering the other, less savoury (to say the least) racial lexical territory being explored in the 1960's and 70's it can be seen as mild. It's easy to judge things by today's standards, but I think that consideration has to be given to the culture, time and place which produced the comedy. I don't have the same affection for Francie and Josie, but some of the jokes are very good. Rikki Fulton was an absolutely fantastic comedian too. Tam Cowan has been preparing, in the method style, for the role of a 60 year old man for the past couple of decades. It seems like the role he was born to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Big Rikki Fulton fan, but I have to say that I never got Francie & Josie. You're always off to a loser if you try to assess comedy from the past by modern standards. Everyone loved a bit of blackface, for example, even if the joke was more about how ridiculous the comedian looked, rather than taking the piss out of black people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I think if I look at it as part of the "music hall" type of comedy then it's very good. There are, as I said, some jokes that are absolute gold. There's one where they're dancing together that I still think about. I had heard about it for years before I ever saw any of it, so I had it built up as something special, but I had already seen Scotch & Wry and Billy Connolly, so F and J could only pale in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
