@spenny24950361 It was in Burns Square and was burnewd down shortly after filming. INteriors though were done at the bar near thre footie ground, can't mind the name off hand!
Strange thing is I recorded it from TV in 94 and just over a week ago discovered the tape in an old box in the loft but it was ruined by dampness…
Then I found the DVD on Play.com which just arrived yesterday (Saturday) and last night for the first time in years I managed to watch it in all it's glory on my big TV… 🙂
Now I'm awaiting the "That Sinking Feeling" DVD arriving so I can restore the original soundtrack to it and watch that too as it should have been… 🙂
I've now got the only copy in existence of "That Sinking Feeling" too on DVD with the original soundtrack and by that I mean full DVD quality not a VHS copy…
Took me a week of solid work to restore the original Glaswegian soundtrack and get rid of the "hoity toity Embra wan" they mucked up the DVD release with… 🙂
The VHS video has the original soundtrack but the DVD is dubbed with posh accents for the American market that ruined the movie and they withdrew the DVD from sale because of the complaints…
Brilliant play, filmed completely on location in Greenock/Port Glasgow, originally screened 8th November 1979, if you're from Glasgow or that area it's something you can instantly identify with, it feels quite special to be because of that, not only that but I was exactly 2 months old when it first aired! It's a window on what Glasgow was like around that time!
This was a very realistic depiction of bars on Friday nights in deprived areas of Scotland, especially places like Greenock and even Stranraer, where I grew up.
Anything Ken Hutchison is in I'll watch! I've had a thing for this guy since Straw Dogs,1971! Having lived in Oban for several years,I learned how to understand their deep Scottish accent. I may be Yank,but I'm one who listens.
These TV dramas were extraordinarily gritty and authentic in comparison with the generally mediocre stuff that's screened today. Good to see Gregor Fisher in a supporting role

Life changing television! Thanks for posting these.
@blueparrot989
Odd that !!!
My old VCR must have had a built in time machine or been very slow at picking up tv signals when I recorded it in 1994 from BBC 2… 😉
Just A Boys Game and That Sinking Feeling just two of the greatest things Scotland gave to the world…
Just wish someone would make some more of these type of plays/ films instead of the American crap we get these days… 🙂

This is great. I love watching this.
Its probably one of the most realistic films about Scotland.
Frankie Miller is a legend.
Frankie Miller's anti acting performance is really something else. Good film though.
