[@miltonofbuchanan]

Much missed, there will never be another as good as Rikki.

[@EllieCumming-mo2ji]

I watch this all the time, it's a great feeling good factor lolx

[@EllieCumming-mo2ji]

My grandweans are laughing like furniture lol x

[@EllieCumming-mo2ji]

Put him back on the telly, if you can get re-runs of everybody else, why not Ricky Fulton last thing at night, does anyone agree with me x.

[@s727r]

Used to watch this with my dad, you don't get comedy like this anymore. His facial expressions alone had you in stitches.

[@salt_cots]

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.

[@Camille_Anderson]

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!

[@attilathehamster6774]

Glad this is still kicking around. This comedy genius always made Hogmanay worthwhile for me.

[@keef71]

the 'opperchancity' - 'this is lovely watter'

[@sandramullen7804]

Brilliant 😂 they should rerun these episodes on the telly now. We all need a good laugh 😂

[@viviennestockley1396]

Best piece of acting of a drunk I've ever seen, specially in such a short time frame

[@carolineclark2177]

I haven't seen this for over 30 years aleast, my god Rikki Fulton is like a fine red wine just gets better with age !! Absolutely brilliant 😂😂 ❤️

[@robg71]

The More the drink kicks in, the More Glaswegian he becomes. Fulton was Hysterical.

Sheer genius writing from rikki fulton and not a swear word of crude humour in sight ....genius

[@grahamtait8031]

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 .

[@Lovegun.]

My mum would too man. She would absolute piss her pants watching this every Hogmanay. Brilliant memories. Rest well to your father. You too ma.x

Scotch & Wry was essential viewing every Hogmanay. Remember that sketch very well & Last Call with the Rev I M Jolly........ 😆

[@CailenCambeul]

The Flower of Scotland - when will we see, Rikki Fulton again? That Rab C fought and died for ...,.

[@josephkane829]

Rikki was so talented. Brings back so many memories of growing up in Scotland. Classic.

[@barnowl01292]

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.

[@johnrice7076]

There should be a statue in Glasgow to this comedy genius this sketch is absolute class

[@bb3ca201]

It's impossible not to laugh your ass off at this. Rikki had an awesome talent that's sorely missed!

[@BalwinderSingh-w9m]

I know a minister who loves this. New Year was never the same when Rikki Fulton retired.

[@bellcstu]

Every new year was a utter pleasure to watch

[@bk1147]

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

[@Camille_Anderson]

💯👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💚

[@charliehealey6196]

how funny is this. never get tired of watching it.great impression of a drunk guy , so reallistic

[@chrisrd86]

Genius only word to describe this man and even that not good enough to describe how good he was hogmanay not the same without scotch and wry on

[@Ann-my1dg]

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.

[@burkey8677]

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

[@emmylou4444]

They really should show re runs of these again, comedy gold!!

[@kevinhenderson2019]

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..

[@Mackeson3]

Yorkshireman here. Why weren't we treated to this south of Hadrian's wall? The guy was a comic genius!

[@andrewbyrne2173]

It’s only been declassified for the English and Welsh fairly recently.

[@marian6593]

I just love how easily and perfectly Rikki slips into character. He and Stanley Baxter both true masters of their trade.

Sublime comic actor, masterclass each time with the hint of not taking it too seriously.

[@paulsaxo8754]

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.

Not many could go from stone-cold sober to falling-down drunk within a few minutes and make it plausible.

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

[@helenmccallum1256]

Pure classic comedy seen it so many times just gets funnier and funnier 😂

[@stevenlawton5319]

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.

[@AdrienneCameron-m8x]

A natural talent.

[@angiepanjie]

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❤️

[@tedandrews405]

Genius...

[@dbp1312]

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

[@michaelwilliams2231]

It was the same here in Ireland and its spot on

Yep it was called late call on tv Scottish television stv

[@ankeriaskaarme8085]

Late Call was simply reasons why it’s good to be Scottish and Protestant. Still a good thing 😅😂

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.
