I’ve never seen it, but thanks to the Red Dwarf ‘Universe Challenge’ special from Red Dwarf Night on BBC 2 in about 1997, I know it stars Ray Winston and Danny John-Jules.

I was surprised Mick Ford didn’t have a bigger career after that - perhaps people thought he was Steven Pacey who looks and sounds similar.

Unforgettable and brilliant in a very unpleasant way

petebestuk.bsky.social•25 days ago

You'll be putting boot polish on your feet...

mickward.bsky.social•24 days ago

No, we saw scum in The White House from 2016 to 2020!

tomdollar.bsky.social•25 days ago

Its an awesome film!

captmillennial.bsky.social•24 days ago

I need to hear what this movie is about! Was it good?

timwrite.net•24 days ago

My mates and I Snuck into the local cinema when Scum got its release.

Smoked like chimneys all the way through.

Came out committing never to do crime ever again unless we had socks and pool balls to hand.

Great film. The original banned BBC version is worth seeing too if you can find it.

"Heard of us have you Carlin?"

rcarney.bsky.social•25 days ago

Shitting hell good luck

sveg.bsky.social•25 days ago

Bleak but brilliant. Retains its power to shock and disturb 46 years on.

juneussell.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh it’s really something

gazzathegooner.bsky.social•25 days ago

Classic try Nil By Mouth and Sexy Beast as well

djgarybaldy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Classic Movie

I was allowed to see it as a kid

Its quite violent in places

jakemeats.bsky.social•24 days ago

It’s up there with threads as a formative experience

likesohushhush.bsky.social•25 days ago

Never seen it, but it is the stuff of legend.

nick-pettigrew.bsky.social•25 days ago

It’s…a lot.

samwhyte.bsky.social•25 days ago

I've been prepped for quite a bit

lawsonsv.bsky.social•25 days ago

Is it about keeping your pond clean?

samwhyte.bsky.social•24 days ago

Enjoyed would be completely the wrong word, but I was very impressed.

cheekyburger.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m the Daddy now!

bigngandbertie.bsky.social•24 days ago

Good film for sure

samwhyte.bsky.social•24 days ago

I understand why they don't do telly plays anymore, but they really give the space to let dialogue speak for itself.

juneussell.bsky.social•24 days ago

I don’t understand. Why is it, do you think?

samwhyte.bsky.social•24 days ago

I assume sets used to be very expensive, so they'd televise plays set in one room.

juneussell.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ah, just money. Pity.

samwhyte.bsky.social•24 days ago

And that perhaps they don't think people are so into dialogue based stuff. Things like Adolescence do come along though.

benmckenna.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh my god, it’s bleak. Also everyone at my school was obsessed with it.

Archer is my hero.

voodooroy.bsky.social•25 days ago

It is so bleak.

jimllmixit.bsky.social•25 days ago

Pretty much based my whole outlook on life on Archer.

benmckenna.bsky.social•25 days ago

My brother

jimllmixit.bsky.social•25 days ago

Mick Talbot was ace, did you see The Knowledge with him & Nigel Hawthorn, Michael Elphick & many others?

benmckenna.bsky.social•25 days ago

My dad was a London cabbie, so yeah you best believe he made me watch that over and over.

jimllmixit.bsky.social•25 days ago

It's the knowledge, badge of green, it's the knowledge, know what I mean?

jimllmixit.bsky.social•25 days ago

Proper dingy old school London https://youtu.be/rlMMK_PIzUs?si=4yYQKohVtZThTl-x

lilbazza.bsky.social•25 days ago

johnneptune.bsky.social•25 days ago

Don't forget your tool

touringguy.bsky.social•25 days ago

What tool?

ptrtlrwrts.bsky.social•25 days ago

A really uplifting piece of cinema.

jlp2k24.bsky.social•24 days ago

I remember it being the first film they showed when Channel 4 launched in the UK.... kinda set the tone I think 🤔

harrymcnally.bsky.social•25 days ago

I went to see that at the pictures . Double bill with Quadrophenia . Prob before you were born ? 1980

yakhunt.net•25 days ago

Changed us for the better though, Col. We dressed better while being mindlessly violent after

harrymcnally.bsky.social•25 days ago

A decade on Twitter , X and this place and it's the first time you've called me by my real name . Melting like the Greenland ice cap

seanrostron.bsky.social•25 days ago

psychedelicjoinery.bsky.social•25 days ago

Bleak and violent, there’s a play version, still with Ray Winstone, that’s worth Seeking out as well
