As someone who went to Bristol for uni and ended up staying for the city, it’s great seeing Stephen create a show that showcases what makes this place so unique unlike anywhere else in England
@@jenniferwightwick5158 I love Bristol, but prefer my home city of Bath 🙂 Bristol has beautiful architecture, with a mix of modern and Georgian and Victorian.
Despite an unpromising first 20 mins, his show the Outlaws REALLY picks up and I've thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 eps. A sort of crime thriller...moments of genuine suspense and warmth. Would recommend!
@@saluterm Just a matter of opinion...I;m saying I thought it was great....I just felt, based not he first 20 mins, it didn't havre much potential - there weren't;t many hooks, it was a little hackneyed...but it soon picked uo and built really well...enjoyed it thoroughly!!
Many years ago I taught high school classes to young offenders at a drug rehab. Many of the students were like Dave. One guy broke into a lakeside cottage in the middle of the night and decided to cook himself bacon and eggs. He sat in front of the tv and ate on the couch, but started to watch something on tv. Eventually he was found, asleep on the couch.
I'm 2 episodes in and I can't decide if I'm watching line of duty, this is England or extras. Absolutely outstanding. Best role Stephen Merchant has ever done as well.
All the guests reveal their shortcomings, and goofs to GN. I think it's very refreshing to know that superstars are humans just like the rest of us. That's what makes GN the top host to me.
I'm Welsh but the west country is like my second home. So glad Bristol is getting some attention in TV land and it's coming from their most famous son. Sorry Banksy but nobody knows what you look like
I know not all of us can be kind to the Welsh in the west county, but just wanted you to know I like your history, people, and pronounce almost all your words correctly haha
Uhh no. I don't think the portal Fandom would be this quiet about it if their favorite character's voice actor was a serial killer. If you don't know what character I'm talking about it's Wheately.
Born in Bristol, grew up in the areal. Funny that he said that one doesn't associate Bristol with crime…? I've spoken to a lot of people from Bath who won't got to Bristol even though it's only 12 miles away…"it's far too dangerous!" Lol!
@@DomWeasel Unless you grew up in Bristol, in which case you still had no clue who he was but you knew the name because it was used in schools for House names or something.
❤️As a fellow Bristolian Love this guy Ha ha ha Cocaine capital of Europe My Dad was a Magistrate and he said Bristol was def an ‘ Underworld ‘ vibe 🤪 I live in Perth Western Australian now But love my home town still 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Born & Bred Bristolian, and proud of it..... Its not as bad as its being portrayed. Steve hails from the same suburb as myself in quite a nice & tidy middle class area. The drug issues are mainly in the rundown areas ' I'm sure even your own towns or cities have there problematic issues.
To be honest I think Amy Farrah Fowler would have been really happy with David/Stephen Merchant's character. I was rooting for him, he seemed like such a mensch!
I REALLY think it would be prudent for these clips to have the guests listed in the description!! It is so annoying to see a flash of some intriguing looking guest and then having to google for this specific episode in order to find who s/he is!!!
As a Bristolian I can assure you that Stephen's accent is pretty widespread throughout the city. Although Bristol's about the seventh largest English city it doesn't have a great many famous sons, so the accent isn't as widely recognisable as, say, scouse or geordie. I've read comments before from Americans saying Stephen's accent sounds Irish or Welsh. Well, neither really, but Bristol is a rhotic accent, like Irish, where the 'R' is pronounced strongly, especially at the end of words. The Welsh accent isn't rhotic but the inflection, especially in South Wales, isn't always that dissimilar from the Bristol accent.
@@gdsongwriter Thanks for that, very interesting. I’m a non native English speaker living in Ireland for over a decade and I was surprised to hear the similarities.
his storey reminded me of a show we had about a bunch of very different people enrolled in night school. Originally it was Chevy Chase in it, it was quite funny. Joel somebody was the teacher.
1:00 drink driving is not a minor crime, stealing a packet of biscuits or taking a pee in a shop doorway is a minor crime. Driving offences that are minor are dealt with via FPN, drink driving is a serious offence and dealt with at magistrates' court. I've heard him say drink driving is a minor crime on a few different interviews now and it's quite annoying. No wonder attitudes towards drink driving have taken so long to change with attitudes like this, attitudes that go completely unchallenged by others. Driving whilst using a mobile is going the same way, it's not minor, it has devastating repercussions and should not be considered "minor".
In the eyes of the law it's a minor offence. As you say, it's dealt with in a magistrates court. If it was a major offence it would be dealt with in a crown court. Drink driving itself is not a major offence, however it often leads to more serious offences being added when that drink driving results in serious injury or fatality.
@@MrJakeasaur98 Not true, in the eyes of the law drink driving is not a minor offence, it's classed as a major offence, look it up. Minor offences are not dealt with via court, they are dealt with via FPN. Major offences are dealt with in court and it doesn't have to be Crown Court to be a major offence. A one minute Google search will provide you with the relevant information on minor and major driving offences, try it.

At uni and away from home for the first time in Bristol and I love it here.

Hey I did that too!
I love Stephen Merchant! He's such a brilliant human.
give a listen to his xfm days(you can find then on youtube), he was brilliant
@@survivalman6114 I will, thanks!
He’s a convicted serial killer.
@@accomify what?
and a brilliant core aswell

I think he said, "crack, Wallace and Gromit".

The Outlaws is brilliant! Ya gotta watch it if you haven't yet. Really great writing! Endearing characters and funny!
Merchant is great. Miss "Hello Ladies". What a entertaining series.
Was it a series? I thought it was just a stand up?
@@SuperMisterKory yeah it is one season based on his stand up
I'm 2 episodes in and I can't decide if I'm watching line of duty, this is England or extras.
Absolutely outstanding. Best role Stephen Merchant has ever done as well.
As a fellow Bristolian, I’m so bloody excited! 😁😁 they filmed loads of it opposite the house I grew up in (Sunny Hill)!
Did u see the lorry fall in the docks?? When they were filming second series?
@@sararadley5702 I did! The Harbourside went into chaos when it happened 😂 no news outlets knew what was going on!
The Outlaws one of the best things to come out of the BBC for a very long time
Such a fan of Stephen! I’m bingeing The Outlaws and it’s great!
Bristol is a great city.
He looks better than ever. Well rested and put together.
As good a young Alex Zane though?

Must have found 50p
There was literally a 100% chance of an XFM reference here yet I still had to see them
@@namelessgames1608 I absolutely love it hahaha
Weird hearing him NOT playing a small robot called Wheatley from Portal 2 haha
Since I played portal 2, I always think of wheatley when I hear him

The lady in the middle is the best talk show guest ever. She’s laughing before he even hits the punchlines 😂
I'm Welsh but the west country is like my second home. So glad Bristol is getting some attention in TV land and it's coming from their most famous son.
Sorry Banksy but nobody knows what you look like
He's a speccy-tw@t named "Robin". The "Banksy" originally came from his first name + "banks", as in the hilariously un-funny "Robin' Banks".
I know not all of us can be kind to the Welsh in the west county, but just wanted you to know I like your history, people, and pronounce almost all your words correctly haha
I’m sorry but Cary Grant is Bristol’s most famous son
SUCH a brilliant show. So underrated.
I went there for college 20 years ago and it is going to be nice seeing recordings from the town now 🥰
Wheatley returned from space and started life as a comedian
Lmaoo
Eyes that pop out their head... Steve
I’m not having a go
Ooh he’s done you again!
Eyes bulging with imagined riches
There's this thing Steve...in mib2...now...I'm not having a go here Steve...but...it could be your brother
Eyes popping out their head…… Steve
In Bristol Tennessee where I’m from we only had methheads and bikers. I think I might fly to England now! Stephen as always is lovely 😊
Why would you ‘fly to England now’?
@@JoshuaDillonn 2 Bristol’s doll. One in England where he lives, and one in Tennessee where I live. Mine is a shitshow.
@@annatomasik6927 thanks for clearing that up doll. You're surname is Czech though aint it. Im an English-Slovak
Yes it is Czech. I’m thrilled someone actually sees the difference. My great grandparents immigrated to San Francisco to escape Franz Josef in 1890
Note: This guy also voiced Wheatley from Portal 2
Loved Stephen Merchant and was so shocked to learn he was a serial killer. Such a talented actor, so awful how people lead double lives like that.
He wasn't just a serial killer then
thats just not true, he hasnt killed anyone
Uhh no. I don't think the portal Fandom would be this quiet about it if their favorite character's voice actor was a serial killer. If you don't know what character I'm talking about it's Wheately.
Guys.. I think this person is joking. 😅
Yop, my first destination of travel in England was Bristol. The place is cooool. To me London was just a place with most connective flights. 😄
This was filmed at the end of my road, used to drive past the camera crew everyday for work
Such a lovely man ❣️
i refuse to unsee wheatly
Stephen Merchant, eyes bulging with imagined riches 😅
Born in Bristol, grew up in the areal. Funny that he said that one doesn't associate Bristol with crime…? I've spoken to a lot of people from Bath who won't got to Bristol even though it's only 12 miles away…"it's far too dangerous!" Lol!
Yeah but Bath is probably the poshest city in the UK. I've lived in Bath, Bristol and Edinburgh. None of them are dangerous. All great cities.
hearing wheatley talk about crack cocaine is funny to me
ah... the xfm quotes in the comment section, my favourite part ❤️
our community
He's permanently stuck in his magnificent portrayal of Caliban. What an actor.
Cheering on the behalf of Bristol WOOOOOOOOO!!!
The Oggmonster
I will always remember him as Wheatley in portal 2
MY CABBAGES!!!
I understood that reference and his descendants should come back!
Surely Bristol is now known for Crack, Wallace & Gromit, and a toppled Edward Colston statue.
Ah, yes. The city that made all of the UK say 'Who's Edward Colston?'
@@DomWeasel Unless you grew up in Bristol, in which case you still had no clue who he was but you knew the name because it was used in schools for House names or something.
whenever I hear him all I hear is wheatley :)
"They wanted to meet back at me"
Christopher Walken on a Brit show? This is a must see! 😎
He starred in a Brtish movie back in 2014..Turks and Caicos and you can throw in Fatboy Slim:Weapon of choice way back in 2001

I love The Outlaws and I need a proper wrap-up. Season 3 please and thanks
it's very wholesome in season 2, binge it!
The outlaws is such a good show watched it in 2 days
Bristol is cool AF.
To be honest I think Amy Farrah Fowler would have been really happy with David/Stephen Merchant's character. I was rooting for him, he seemed like such a mensch!
Outlaws in brilliant, funny, scary and filled with humanity
Oh gosh Stephen is so frigging funny.

literally just had to do that just to remember what jessie buckley was in lol
you poor little poppet
@@senorprofe6212 fair play lmao
He's done ya again !
I love the outlaw's looking forward to series 2 heard it in the making very tempted to buy dvd may have to
Steve once had a pig in his car called Vera
I grew up in SWANSEA!!!!!
YEAAAHHHH!!!!!
Me too.
He explained things and storyline well
Eyes full of imagined riches
i love bristol
So glad my Bristol is getting some overdue hype;)
You and me both 👌
... skins?
This is the first time I’ve noticed it but Stephen’s accent sounds a tiny bit Irish! Well done on the new show Stephen.
West Country accent for ya.
That's just the Bristolian accent.
@@MrJakeasaur98 Interesting!
As a Bristolian I can assure you that Stephen's accent is pretty widespread throughout the city. Although Bristol's about the seventh largest English city it doesn't have a great many famous sons, so the accent isn't as widely recognisable as, say, scouse or geordie. I've read comments before from Americans saying Stephen's accent sounds Irish or Welsh. Well, neither really, but Bristol is a rhotic accent, like Irish, where the 'R' is pronounced strongly, especially at the end of words. The Welsh accent isn't rhotic but the inflection, especially in South Wales, isn't always that dissimilar from the Bristol accent.
@@gdsongwriter Thanks for that, very interesting. I’m a non native English speaker living in Ireland for over a decade and I was surprised to hear the similarities.
Anyone else notice the GN Show theme music reminds you of Johnny River's, "Summer Rain!"?
One of our own 🔴
Dave was pulling a Richard Pryor lol getting called out by his neighbors
Wallace & Gromit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg I love them, Gromit is a legend, what a pup🥰🥰❤❤🐕❤❤🥰🥰
The Outlaws is a brilliant show !!!!!
Awesome 😍😍😍😍
Why is Eddie Redmayne there dressed like Capaldi's Doctor Who? XD
He sold me that show
I close my eyes and imagine wheatley saying this
WHEATLEY!
Superb. I'm already there.
Eyes that pop out of their head ... Steve
Famous for 3 things, DRUM AND BASS and SKATEBOARDING
Spex pitched up next to me with his campervan in Cornwall over the summer.. then surfed down the road at his secret little cove. Legend.
social distancing on Graham Norton feels especially distracting.
Its utterly bizarre to see but sort of hilarious to imagine
Exactly because the audience doesn't have to, so it makes zero sense
@@MobinKiadeh it’s merely propaganda to perpetuate fear for something which is virtually harmless.
The Outlaws is a great show.
This show great ! Love his character arc
I know dave !! He is a hedge fund manager now
That show sounds good, can I watch it in America?
It is a brilliant series!
Yo it's Wheatley
"WE ARE ALL GONNA BLOODY DIE!"
Am I the only here because Stephen Merchant was Wheatley's voice in Portal 2 ?
Nope, lol
I would love to meet Stephen merchant
his storey reminded me of a show we had about a bunch of very different people enrolled in night school. Originally it was Chevy Chase in it, it was quite funny. Joel somebody was the teacher.
Community! Joel McHale played a teacher in the latter series :)
Wasn’t he in Men in Black 2?
He does look like someone from Bristol😂😂
1:50 We will just call him Dave
0:26 Can you beat up that cheer?
This sounds wonderful. 🤔
Well. I've watched that 10x now.
Sounds good.
So... Misfits but without superpowers?
