My friend and I have been having a wee Terri-fest this evening. (Scratchy old videos though; where is the DVD boxset?)
This is my first ever thread, so please grace it with your favourite Terri moments/top quotes...

Oh the brilliance of it!
"I should be there with a smile on my face and my knickers in my bag."
"I should be at that buffet, loadin' up my plate wi' chicken n' gammon."
"Tanners unite motto - united we tan, divided we peel."
And of course, her personal ad looking for "sex, and possibly more"! A friend and I put her exact wording of her message into an I Saw You page in Edinburgh/Glasgow magazine the List. They changed the wording so it was "friendship, and possibly more". Bastards.

Does that mean everytime someone is asking for 'friendship' they're really after teh sex and have only been edited to chaste amity by prudish sub-editors?
Shocking.

Haha, I put that up on my old faceparty profile back in the day. I used to tape this, but like everything else has been lost forever. Haven't the BBC actually said there is to ne no D.V.D release? "Fan of the tan" and "chow the now" are all I can remember quotes-wise but the show is so very Glasgow, it's almost unreal. |

Yes, I imagine that every time the word "friendship" appears in such an ad it is an alternative to "sex".
Oh, and I love "ciao the now!" as well! I agree with you, Sunset Bitch about just *how* Glasgow it is. I genuinely feel that for all the tranny humour in it, if you want to show a realistic portrayal of life in the central belt of Scotland, it doesn't get much more approrpriate than Terri Mac, series 1.

I liked Terri's verbal sparring with the woman who ran the local pub in series one, but to my eternal shame I can't remember any examples. My inner sub editor obviously deemed them too obscene for publication.

My inner sub editor obviously deemed them too obscene for publication. They generally began with the likes of "Helen, ye boot" and went from there. Though a favourite of mine which sticks in my head is when it is revealed Helen has a sister. Terri's response is "Two of them? Call the dog catcher there's a pair of hounds on the loose". |

My favourite was Terri's classic: "Helen. Fuck off." Simon, who created Terri McIntyre, once wrote a few short updates on what happened to Terri after the cameras stopped rolling, especially for Lowculture. www.lowculture.co.uk/2003/11/exclusive-stuff-for-fans-of-tan.shtmlwww.lowculture.co.uk/2003/11/oil-fix-it.shtmlwww.lowculture.co.uk/2003/11/popper-idol.shtml |

I have most of Season 2 on tape and a couple of episodes of season one I managed to track down. (I've given up all hope of getting Season One of this on DVD*. I don't even think sending an SAE would help.) The BBC refuse to release it for goodness knows what reason. *Obviously I haven't but I thought passive aggressive might be worth a try? |

In the past 2 weeks 'Still Game' has had Big Marnie as a charity shop worker and Marissa as the receptionist of the Beefy Bake Bakery. Sad Arlene hasn't had a part and has had to do teacher training instead. She's be great as a home help on the Craiglang.

Is Arlene really doing teacher training?! REALLY?! I hope she comes to the school I teach in and we can go for lamb flan for lunch, etc. Yes, tis true. I was chatting to her last year and put my foot right in it. I've met her a few times before and we share friends. Anyway, on asking her what she was up to she said she was now at teacher training. Without thinking I said, 'Oh what a shame!' Of course what I meant was, I know so many talented people who just can't make it in the arts and it's so unjust, especially as they then all go and become teachers when it's the last thing they wanted to do. She then felt she had to justify her decision, saying she'd tried acting for 11yrs and had got nowhere, and I had to backtrack on my comment saying how wonderful it would be. It was all a bit cringeworthy. I suspect with her acting degree she may get a job teaching at drama school, but I maybe wrong. |

They changed the wording so it was "friendship, and possibly more". Bastards. I remember bits of Terri McIntyre from BBC Choice, and was reading the personal ads in The Guardian yesterday, looking for someone for my boss, and this thread popped into my head and I started laughing out loud and tried to explain why to my colleagues but they just looked at me like I'm strange. Which I am. |

The wee jackie quote made me laugh!
Terri did make me chuckle - there aren't enough long faced trannies on TV these days.
I say we get an online petition going for the DVDs

Regarding Terri on DVD there's a company which specialises in Scottish comedy and such like - www.johnwilliamsproductions.comI contacted them and asked if they had any plans to release Terri as not only do they have access to BBC Scotland/STV stuff but also things filmed for the Scottish stage. They replied saying they'd never heard of it, even though golden boy David Tennant is in the second series, and therefore didn't think there'd be a demand. They did however say they'd keep it in mind should there be any other enquiries. It might, therefore, be worth while dropping them an email to ask if they have any plans and bump up the enquiry numbers. |
