On BBC 4 now, absolutely hilarious, as good as Morecambe and Wise in their heyday.

When he pulls the goggles of as a traffic cop and they disappear backwards makes you smile despite seeing it before.

The red I m Jolly will have you in stitches smile

What the new year used to be like at Hogmanay not the rubbish on in 2023.

My favourite was a cameo by Mark McManus.

"Name?"
"Taggart"
"First name?"
"Chief Inspector!"

Turned over from the dross on BBC One Scotland to BBC Scotland to find the new year Still Game, then the joy of Scotch and Wry - including “Stirling, oot the car…”… just wonderful stuff.

He’s been getting away with murder for years,

So has Sidney Devine.


Many a true word spoken in jest smile

Worked in local theatre to get my pilots licence. Sidney was there for a week, had his own sound guy because he did not trust theatre staff .

Treated staff like st, walked off stage demanded that sound man in auditorium give him a glass of water. Guy ran backstage got water and handed it to him, he drank it and told the guy to move cos he was going on again so guy had to run back to the desk.

Idiot thought it funny to ram the mic into the one stage speaker causing feedback, sound guy nearly burst his eardrums, a$$hole of a man.

I wonder if we'll get a TV drama on the long running and acrimonius
feud Rikki had with Stanley Baxter ?

Scotland was too small for those two massive egos.

Rikki was jealous and felt Stanley's fame was due less to his talent more to do with
who he bedded, Stanley thought Rikki an oafish panto comic.

I can see Steve Coogan camping it up as Baxter.



With Stanley still with us at 97 it might have to wait.
