[@markscott554]

I always remember a line (probably between Mary and Rab where they are in bed in the dark. There's a rustling noise, and she asks. "Are you opening a bag of crisps?" and he says, "No, I'm taking off my underwear.'

RAB C AND Aufweidersen Pet often underrated next to the likes of the London comedies.

[@christopherdrennan5819]

One of the actors from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet appeared in an episode of Rab C Nesbitt

[@PhilMacVee]

I will admit that when this was shown back in the day I used the subtitles and found it outrageously funny. No, I wasn't in the east of Scotland, I was in deepest darkest England. Loved the program.

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

Back in My day, I loved watching both the movie Uncle Buck and Rab C Nesbitt! Anybody remember Uncle Buck? 😅

[@SPARKLEPANDA4LIFE]

Yeh I watch it every time its on love it

[@markreilly2469]

As a staunch englishman without shadow of a doubt this was one of the funnest comedies ever written i loved every episode.

[@harrydbastard]

Sadly Rab C was as real as it got, you didn't get anyone like that on TV and it was way more relatable than any of the middle class comedy like butterflies or the good life

[@byronmills5952]

More relatable to who?? ....Both the Goodlife and Butterflies were also working class comedies - white collar as opposed to blue - they certainly weren't middle class either. Neither Geoffrey Palmer nor Richard Briar's characters lived off the fat of the land as middle class - they worked for their existence, in Tom Goods instance he was selfishly trying to rid his life of the from the white collar working Rat race. The comedic examination of social class in this country isn't just relatable and shouldn't be exclusive to the likes of the gritty comedic portrayal of Rab C Nesbitt - as brilliant as it was and still is.

[@CragScrambler]

I dont know, Auf wiedersehen pet was pretty much spot on too...at least the first 2 series.

[@Pelennor]

Watched it here in Donegal as a teen.Great show.

[@precbass]

The line "I can take or leave drink..........I'd sooner take it mind you" is a masterpiece in comic timimg.

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

He once said he was the only child in his family to survive as he was the only one who could understand the family allowance forms....sheer brilliance.

[@SPARKLEPANDA4LIFE]

Rab C Nesbitt is up there as one of the greatest comedies if all time alongside Steptoe & Son and OFAH

[@michaelmewis4761]

This series made me laugh so much I would stop breathing at times. The best line I always remember was when Rab's wife said, (After Rab had put his feet up on the couch) "See you Rab Nesbit, I smoked myself half to death to get the coupons for this 3 pieces suite!)

[@daveroche6522]

To quote Alan 'Chuckles' Hansen - "QUALITY".

[@treasureandtrash.finder]

I learned to understand the Scots from this Excellent Programme 😊 Love it. Doesn’t get old…

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I loved this show and luckily the landlord of my local boozer in Streatham was an ex Glaswegian boxer named Tom and every now and then I would watch it with him in the pub and he translated where needed, I am Welsh and love the Scottish accent

[@danjames4086]

I went to see the live show in Newcastle. Absolutely superb...the chemistry with the audience was brilliant.

[@Jammo1978]

In my opinion Rab is the best sitcom ever made and especially the early days of it the writing and acting is spot on and back in the early to mid 90s in my youth and drinking all day lifestyle in cheetham Hill Manchester I had a lot of Scottish friends who I used to spend a lot of time with wiling the days away with drinking and and wolfin down pills and the banter was top notch 👌 and looking back at it I was living the Rab c lifestyle we were just better dressed hahaha

[@peterjhillier7659]

Rab will live forever, my hero!

[@benjammin1212]

I was lucky to see Rab live at Hammersmith years ago, took me a few minutes to understand the accent but i can honestly say it was fantastic..At the part where Rab was in court, there was a commotion in the audience seats, i naturally thought that a fight was breaking out as the alcohol was flowing freely, it was the other cast members , so it kind of turned out that the audience was in the public gallery of the courts and the cast members were heckling Rab and the Judge..It was my first time seeing a live theatre performance and i will never forget the experience..what a great night..

Excellent series, all the actors were brilliantly cast and so likeable.

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I have all the seasons on DVD box sets, and love watching them over and again :-) Rab C. Nesbitt & co are some of the most memorable characters in British comedy, and to think they started just as a small-part sketch is amazing. I met Gregor Fisher once, and he is such a gentleman in real life, but his acting skills are truly beautiful :-D I worked with a man from Govan many years ago, and visited the area with him, and re-lived every scene they filmed there while just walking around the place :-) Rab is actually a true philosopher, who displays moments of a much higher intelligence/education than his characters appearance would be capable of :-D

[@daveroche6522]
