Rikki Fulton - ''Supercop'' With Mark McManus

The wonderful talented Rikki Fulton doing his famous ''Supercop'' sketch with special guest Mark McManus as DCI Jim Taggart.
Both Irreplaceable and sadly missed, not just in Scotland but worldwide.

[@derekporter7658]

Hogmanay isn't the same without Rikki Fulton. The once a year treat we Scots looked forward to.

[@flemwad]

My God what a spot on comment ❤😂

[@Anthonys_S]

Yeah , your totally right, the reverend i m jolly was the best 🤣

[@LittleMissLeared]

I've watched this hundreds of times. It never gets old.

[@jessiejames7492]

Yeah me too

[@stevenoliver1326]

It says a lot for these Supercop sketches that, when Rikki died, Strathclyde Police insisted on giving his hearse a police escort.

[@hudster1969]

You forget how funny this was and how poor New Years Eve is without it.

[@derekporter7658]

You're not wrong there!

[@alanknotts1844]

The so called comedy shows on hogmanay these days are as funny as an itchy arse. Utter rubbish.

[@richardcochrane1966]

"OK, Stirling, oot the car!" How McManus could keep his face straight is beyond me

[@jessiejames7492]

If only they had the ‘bloopers or behind the scenes for this

[@jessiejames7492]

Years of practise on Taggart. Hardly smiles😀

[@gavinmillar7519]

Laughed through the tears at this. I remember this sketch well and it set me thinking about all that's happened in the intervening decades. It still has the power to make us smile and laugh, that seems a rare enough commodity these days so thanks very much for posting this.

[@jazzman1626]

A big light went out in Scotland when Rikki Fulton left us.

[@guyster1973uk]

Two of the best talents Scotland ever had. Taggart was never the same after mark McManus passed away and Rikki Fulton was brilliantly funny used to love all the scotch & wry stuff

[@soeffingwhat]

+guyster1973uk I don't think Ricky Fulton was ever big outside Scotland, admittedly I'd never heard of him up to now, but I practically grew up watching Taggart and watched a lot of Rab C Nesbitt. Billy Connolly is the obvious choice when mentioning Scottish Comedians.

[@SpookyElectric319]

Yer right there... They were.

[@agedflier9129]

I think it all depends on when you were born..Rikki was around 10 years before Billy. Many Scottish actors and singers were happy to play to the "home" audiences... The Corries were a classic example.

[@derekporter7658]

2 of the best Scottish talents very sadly missed.

[@malcolmthomson3352]

Mark McManus was a truly awful actor

[@proudscottishlad5275]

I grew up this from ma father,every new year i couldnt wait for scotch and wry to come on,so much amazing memories...rikki fulton rip.

[@enanlouise8528]

What a great selection of classic sketches, from one of Scotland's best entertainers Ricki Fulton. His many characters including Rev. I. M. Jolly. And his partnership as one half of Francie and Josie. His Supercop was a laugh, especially when he met Taggart himself, Mark McManus.

[@jessiejames7492]

I bet mark macmanus was thrilled to be on the show. This is sheer entertainment.

[@HIGHLANDER555]

This one was always the best Supercop sketch

[@irisstevens1540]

Rikky fulton can't be bypassed .he makes me happy and proud to be Ssots ♥

[@woodenspoonlover]

Supercop's a legend!

[@alisongardiner318]

In a group I belong to, someone had posted the drunken weatherman sketch, and I got talking about this as being one of my all time favourite Scotch & Wry sketches, so had to come looking for it. Was so happy to find it and to find it was still funny today. This programme was always my favourite part of New Year and it is sorely missed by me. Never seemed like a "proper"' New Year until you had watched it. Happy memories of two talented and memorable Scotsmen. They both may be gone now but thankfully their memory still lives on in things like this.

[@richardwalker1880]

Mark mcmanus bless him he is still my favourite Taggett how we all miss him and Rikki futon

[@tobiaztobiaz9355]

I only understood 90% of the show, but I tell u these two terrific actors made my days when I was a lone oversea student in cold/damp Belfast in 80s. RIP Rikki.I.M.Jolly and McManus.

[@DrunkinBanterTV]

"Inspector? Like oan The Buses?"

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Rikki Fulton so loved, so missed. 💕

[@passtheparcel2024]

Lovely mix of 2 talented men. Each one masters of their craft!

[@kevinbernard9791]

Out of so many classic scenes this has to be the ultimate back in the day .. couldn't stop laughing as a young teen in Fife..

[@stevocooldude]

"This is the Polis, it doesney say Kiss me quick up there!" Magic!

[@Fee212]

"Oh well you stick in son and maybe one day you'll get a nice uniform like mine." hahahaha 🤣😂😆😄 Rikki Fulton was so funny.

[@chrisrd86]

I know this line for line but i still laugh every time the best supercop sketch and one the best in scotch and wry

[@jessiejames7492]

'what like on the buses?' no one expected that ! :)

[@WHNorthcote]

One of the first sketches I saw of Rikki. Always brings me a smile watching that.

[@maireadrochford3579]

Just got my Scottish Terrier puppy and named him Taggart. Loved both of them

[@KS-qr1ry]

Mairead Rochford nice

[@billymcmonagle949]

Ricky was the boss in his heyday absolutely brilliant, second to none, still top notch today, sorry about his ailing health, love him

[@Mattstheway]

You know Rikki passed away in 2004? There'll never be another. Legend.

[@druss69harad61]

Methinks you're thinking of The Big Yin there.

[@donsmad81]

"Stuff yer car, you've broken ma pincil" - haha

[@CJMU86]

I heard this on cassette years ago, and I've never seen the real thing until now! So glad you've put this up! Thanks so much!

[@Over_Sky]

"Oh, well, you stick in, son, and maybe one day you'll get a nice uniform like mine." :)

[@liztomlinson2146]

[@capadom]

[@michaeleverest7631]

Im sure on a couple of occasions you could see Mcmanus trying not to start laughing!!

[@DS-od1kb]

He never even smiled in Taggart. Great programme.

[@jessiejames7492]

[@Bowser1948]

Pure dead brilliant so it is Speciallly the Sidney Devine crack right enough

[@richardsharpe2966]

I'm part Scottish myself but we use to get Scots and Wry send down from Scotland to Yorkshire were I come from love it

[@MaskedMan66]

"Are ye tryin' t'wind me up?" "I didnae even know ye were clockwork!"

[@BuddyFantastic]

Would love it if they could repeat an episode of this classic Hogmanay comedy series.

[@allanblackshaw3046]

Where do the years go . Always loved scotch n wry. Mind this when I was obout 12 , between this and getting broons or oor wullie xmas books .

[@stevefraser8071]

[@219dale]

Rikki at his best !! Lol

[@Spookieham]

Up there with Rangers signing a Catholic Gerard Kelly as the funniest ever Scotch and Wry sketches - bar none.

[@keef71]

'The southside slasher!' - 'Is that the rain comin on?' havnae seen this sketch since it was on (mid-80s?) but can still remember the lines. Taggart on Scotch & Wry was a big fuckin deal then - ITV cop superstar on a BBC programme!

[@Tomilins229]

Hey listen me......NO YOU LISTEN ME LOL

[@druss69harad61]

Good catch.

[@annehughes7862]

Taggart apart from Columbo one of the best detectives of all time.

[@gerrynicol3951]

Same coat as Colombo

[@CailenCambeul]

MissFlowerofScotland I must thank you. You've got a nice channel. And in South Australia, It's a problem if I see, you're like again. You know how they are? Anyway, thank you for the Rikki Fulton. I gave it to other Scots living here.

[@RONNIEBMW1]

Yee meeen slaughtered them deed 😂😂

[@christopherbishop5014]

Just watching this makes me realize where rab c nesbitt creators took their comedy influences banter and timing from 😂😂

[@jessiejames7492]

Hilarious to the hilt

[@richieb7692]

Are you trying to wind me up.? I didn't know you were clockwork..

[@davidhealy4534]

Slaughtered em deid?

[@richardsharpe2966]

Scotch and Wry very popular north of the border a great shame it was never seen in England

[@markcaldwell2831]

That's cause they're from north of the border and besides England wouldn't show it cause they would never understand it.
