The fact that he was still a little blond and over time, he darkened :') understand why all his children are blond^^

[@pennygleeson5029]

Omg those dimples ❤️❤️ the first thing I ever saw David in - & I've absolutely adored him ever since! Just generally adored, no matter what he was doing - in everything I've ever seen him in, from 1994 til now in 2024 - he has been perfection - sigh, I love you David Tennant ❤️❤️❤️

[@takitukari5148]

HES SO CUTE I CANT EVEN 😭 HES JUST LIKE PERFECT??

[@Sam-does-uke-stuff]

I think it would have been neat if they gave Campbell his own episode at the end of the series, showing the audience that he's doing a lot better, running his radio show, visiting the hospital, visiting Eddie, and occasionally visiting Fergus' grave.

[@fatemehmokarrami4958]

Oh what a cute smol bean😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@folasadeadedapo]

I know that role was EXHAUSTING

[@HobieInTheBox]

Honestly David has a lot of energy at 52, I'm sure he had plenty at 23😂

[@solaramoeba]

dimpleessss, *the damn dimplesss*

If I saw this as a young girl, I totally would have had a HUGE crush on Campbell!

I LOVE CAMPBELL SO MUCH, SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS❤❤ (along with Fergus, love him too!)

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

GAWD! HE'S SO CUTE! I....MUST....BATHE....THIS....SWEET....BOY....IN....KISSES....FROM HEAD TO TOE! I imagine him becoming a big DJ star after the events of the film....with armies of screaming fangirls! He's so funny and GORGEOUS! And a LOT of young people would relate to a cute "Looney". And his dream of losing his virginity would DEFINITELY come to pass! :3

[@jenniferh5360]

He has a podcast now ;)

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

3:32 - Fergus rockin' that "Larry Darryl and Darryl" look. 4:26 - Oh crap! Foreshadowing Time with Fergus! Hey, Cam! Forget the feigned tower-jumpin'! Just show up in nothing but tiny shorts and sing! The donations from the "Horny Fansqueer" demographic alone could pay for five brand new mental asylum buildings and a rocket to send Stuart on a one-way trip to Pluto! There's a really cool comet comin' up. You'll see it in a couple of years. 39 people will kill themselves for it. Send Stu to that! 4:41 - Campbell in bed....just....Campbell in bed. The cute is too much! 5:00 - Hyper Campbell is EPIC CUTENESS and Hang-gliding Action-Fergus is simply EPIC! I half-jokingly want to come up with my own "Fergus Facts". Aside from being a quiet, tragic, misunderstood, suicidal guy with a grim end....he had "Awesome" written all over him! He needs his due!.... * FERGUS FACT #1: Fergus can restore a totaled car to mint condition just by looking at it! * FERGUS FACT #2: Fergus can hang-glide to the Moon and back! * FERGUS FACT #3: Chuck Norris gets beaten to a pulp by the inner demons emanating from Fergus' awesome mullet! ....and so on.... Well; Fergus' ghost could probably pull off all that instead. Sweet adorkable Campbell is so cute and bouncy and sexy. His voice also has a cute, cartoon character-like quality to it, as well. I love how he sounds when he cries out "Fergus"! Cami & Fergie are like best buddies! I'm surprised there's no fanfics shipping these two dorks. Eddie and Campbell would make a great comedy duo. That bit with the visit to Radio Scotland.... "AND I'M GONNA REMEMBER THOSE TREEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!...." ....Then he gets all mushy over the receptionist! Oh, Campbell! You yourself are memorable by nature, you beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, sweet, child-like, whimsical, manic, magical, musical sprite! Finally; That last bit when Campbell's finally hit the big time. I have a funny feeling that a bitter, jealous Stuart sent that hate-mail. 6:53-57 - YOU TELL THAT OGRE, CAM! Ha ha! Suck it, Stuart, ya subhuman ogre! You deserve a comeuppance! A loony's becoming successful, famous and popular and you're just some thug stuck playing "bouncer" at a mental hospital. Besides; Who's to say Campbell doesn't work with Mad-John to smuggle a radio into St. Jude's so the gang can listen to Campbell's show? You can't keep a good loony down! Maybe Campbell, being the kind, generous, caring, beautiful soul he is, will find a way to convince Radio Scotland to find a place for "Steady Eddie". Eddie's his mentor! Eddie's dream ain't over yet! His ending in the show is pretty open-ended (and Eddie's found love!).

[@kasiamleczarska9078]

Hi! I see you left this comment 3 years ago, but seeing how much you seem to love the show I've decided to brighten your day with this notification. 😄 I just wanted you to know I agree with everything you wrote. I've just finished watching the show. I'm on a mission to watch David Tennant's every major role. But this show... I came for DT, I stayed for basically everybody. Every character is so lovable. And I can relate to their struggles because I have anxiety and depressive disorder and the struggle of getting a job if you're not hiding your condition is still real even nowadays. Anyway, I think episodes 3 and 4 were the most optimistic, with the whole pack spending time together. It kinda went down from there, with Fergus' death, Francine's story and Eddie's drinking problem. The ending was so bittersweet. I was glad for out little baby boy Campbell for achieving his dream, but when the credits rolled I cried because I was still waiting for a happier ending. But that's not always how life works. You can't have everything. And this series was so brilliant for making me fall in love with the characters and wishing them all the best and then reminding me time and time again that life's not fiction and not everything turns out as we wanted but no matter what happens we can be there for each other and that's all that matters. Also, I love your facts about Fergus and I'll try to come up with some, too! He was surely a great guy to hang out with. Quiet yet witty. 😞

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

@@kasiamleczarska9078 Thank you so much! Agreed on all counts. As for wanting a happy ending...I usually stop at Episode 3 and pretend the "everybody dances to the Beatles" ending is the real one. I even made a fan-edit movie called "Takin' Over The Asylum the 'Truth as it should be' Cut". Unfortunately KZbin would give me a huge copyright strike. -- Perhaps I'll be able to find a way to share it.

[@kasiamleczarska9078]

@@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 Oh I couldn't possibly do that, endings can't always be happy. The later episodes are fantasticly written as well, even if way sadder. I appreciate it all just as the writer wanted it to be. 🙂 You know, Fergus' death was most certainly supposed to be eye-opening for people stigmatizing mental illness. To show them that sometimes it's not the illness itself that really makes people suffer but the social stigma that comes with it. Same with Campbell's dad and Rosalie's husband. But to each their own of course. I still understand your need for a happy ending. 🙂

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

@@kasiamleczarska9078 I definitely understand and I also respect the whole point of the story and how it went. The point was to show how the mentally-ill are screwed over in society and to call for a positive change. It's no doubt something that needed to be said. --- That said; I'll see this tale as having two "canons" which are cool in their own way.
