Talk:Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edited a couple of Season Five episode titles. Will overhaul the article soon. If anybody has any idea what a full, in-depth article for a sitcom should look like please give me some examples. Gs83 00:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's some good ones.

Good to hear you're planning an overhaul. I've added the page to my watch list and will be happy to help out. zozart 14:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Me too, I've seen every episode at least twice (insomnia is a lonely thing...) so ifthere's any help you need, just ask. I think that some mention should be made of that fact that unusually for a sitcom, the story arcs span over complete series, and even between series, with even minor characters (Kate, David, Kelly) given a lot of airtime and to be seen to develop e.g. kelly goes from a sycophantic dim bakery worker to a predatory slut barmaid, while Kate went from a forward seemingy prim barmaid, to quickly becoming a controlling needy freak chrisboote 12:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major plots Ep6.6

At the end of 6.6 Gaz find out that he's been 'shooting blanks'. Does this mean that Corinthian is Johnny's son? This could possibly be put in major plots - or does it need to be comfirmed? (Anyone seen 6.7 this may help us) TheTallOne 18:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Who removed the comments about the refernce on the BBC ite? Sort of people who watch this also watch Hollyoaks - pure shite

yes it is johnnys baby because johnny swaps his baby with gaz for a t-shirt but gaz can't do it and confess's and johnny taunts him for not being able to conceive Rubberchix 17:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horror Special

Who else thought that this was extremely gory and will attract a 18 certificate when the series is released on DVD?

I think it deserves a seperate mention on the main Wikipedia page.

[edit] Episode Guide

I improved on the episode guide providing synopsises for the episodes. Some parts may need a clean up, but I think that it's mostly good. I haven't done anything like this before, so I'd like some feeback. I also may expand on other sections in the future. Adamravenscroft 20:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuity errors

The section on continuty is informally written and has many grammatical errors.

I think that the continuity section is quite unnecessary anyway. (Note: I did not write the above, it is unsigned.) Adamravenscroft 11:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Adamravenscroft

I've sorted the section out, added more info and think it should stay. - The 4th Snake 15:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry i did it to start with and thought it was just going to be a plan for it, but it is necessary if you watch it. Rubberchix 12:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverted edit on 4th December as was not relevent to article and just a question by someone--Fluffy Kitten 23:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Live?

should it say laughter track it is filmed infront of a live studio audience should it be added? Rubberchix 17:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I've amended the wording referring to the lack of a laughter track on the Horror Special. Clearly it was too technically complex to have been shot in front of an audience, unlike the rest of the series - I've been in the audience for a few episodes in the past, and it takes long enough to do a "normal" one!

[edit] BBC/TV Licence

Who ever it was at the bbc that scrapped two pints of lager,they need shooting,absolutely brilliant series,but scrapping the good stuff and keeping the crap,that what the bbc do best,god knows what we keep paying for a licence every year,for what ???

i dont watch any bbc channels anymore,does that mean i dont have to get ripped off by buying a licence,only in the uk we have to have a licence,when i told my american friend that wwe have a tv licence,he laughed his ass off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gettoman (talk • contribs) 17:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

It's not "only in the UK" - virtually every European country (and a few non-European ones) has a licence fee. Some even retain a separate radio licence. Nick Cooper 18:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jonny or Joney?

I just thought I'd bring this up. In the Musical Special, at the start where Janet is about to leave, she leaves a letter. The letter reads "Joney". Just thought this might be the way you actualy spell his name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.78.178.241 (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Having just checked my DVD recording, the letter definitely says "Jonny" although the letters are very small on the screen, so anyone relying on a small screen and/or a poor quality recording or reception might be mistaken. Nick Cooper 16:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
