Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

marktayloruk I mean that. Every episode a gem. What a pity they didn't carry on or that Bolam was such a so and so. Had idea for future - Bob becomes ardent Thatcherite but loses job as result of government cutbacks. Or 80s sequel.with Terry's nephew Wayne and Thelma's nephew Dean.

alexanderdavies-99382 "Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads" is a continuation of the lives and friendship between Northern lads Terry and Bob. Like the best of British sitcoms, the humour is derived from character and from situations. The scripts are excellent on the whole and James Bolam and Rodney Bewes vividly brought their respective characters to life. Broadcast in 1973 and 1974, this series became immensely popular and spawned a feature film which wasn't so good. It is a bit of a pity that the two leading actors had a falling out. Bolam accused Bewes of revealing something about the former's private life and has refused to speak to or to have anything more to do with him. The events of this sitcom pick up five years after the original series came to an end. Terry has returned home after being overseas in the army. Bob has bought his first home and is about to settle down into married life. Their reunion occurs by accident onboard the same train in the opening episode and the story lines developed from there. Terry feels rather out of step with everything in his home town as a lot has changed. His old haunts are no longer in existence and he seems to be against anything in the way of progress. Terry's lack of ambition, his ignorance and hypocrisy are amongst the sources of laughter that is effortlessly delivered by both the actors and the writers. A classic of British comedy.

glenn-aylett Coming from the North East, I have a natural affinity with this sitcom, but the fact is wherever you come from, the comedy and acting were brilliant. Basically Whatever takes over where the Likely Lads left off, Terry has spent five years in the army and has returned to no job and a Newcastle he barely recognises, while his best friend Terry has done well in the construction industry, is getting married and has joined the middle class ( winter sports in Austria, don't you know).While the original series has dated badly and most of the episodes have been lost, the seventies sequel exists in its entirety and is still hilarious 39 years later. I can't think of a single bad episode as all of them are hilarious and particularly good ones are where Bob accidentally bumps into Terry on a train to Newcastle( Strangers on a Train), The Great Race where they take part in a bike ride to Berwick and cheat and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, where Terry shows up a snobbish schoolfriend at a dinner party and shows his usual lack of tact( to a Chelsea fan, it's not only Chelsea I hate, it's all London clubs).Because the humour is timeless, showing up the good old British class system, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads is still worth getting on DVD. Special mention must be made as well to Brigit Forsyth, who plays Bob's prudish and social climbing wife, and Sheila Fearn, as Terry's sister Audrey, who is married to a Terry like figure who spends all his time in a drunken sleep. All in all a classic that is still well loved by people of a certain age from the North East.The 1974 Christmas special was shown on BBC Four on Christmas Day and this nicely ends the story of Bob and Terry. Bob as ever is the henpecked middle class wannabe, still living on the Elm Lodge housing estate, but Terry has been absent for several months until it is revealed he has been learning to drive and wants to be a long distance lorry driver as he can pick up German female hitchikers. In reality he gets a job as a forklift driver, gets sacked after stealing it to transport Bob home as he is over the limit( the most amusing part of the show) and ends up as a taxi driver, where more japes occur as Bob steals the taxi as he has hidden an ex girlfriend in the back and wants to avoid Thelma.A really funny way to end the 1973-74 revival that won a BAFTA the following year and inspired a decent film spin off that is frequently shown at holiday time.

Kirstymania I gave it 9 out of 10 because i've enjoyed "Men Behaving Badly" a lot more in study for my media studies exam next month. I like the way Terry is always undermining the 1970s ideas of the 'modern man' He is backward looking, disinterested in social climbing, success, buying a brand new house and is labelled a 'knocker' by his sister Audrey, who exemplifies the ideological position of the era. The women in the early 70s is stereotypically portrayed as the domestic housewife figure who is weaker than the male society. The comedic representation of Bob and Terry challenges this ideology by exposing an underlying character which is boyish, immature, sex-minded qualities and this produces the comic moments
