The great actor Brian Cox is on BBC4 tonight as "Bob Servant" - set in Dundee's Broughty Ferry.

 

I wonder if a certain Forum member will be watching with me...

I sure will Will. It's quite strange to watch a series like that that is literally made on your doorstep, not to mention seeing the folk in the background that you recognise.

Do they do it with sub titles for you guys in the South? :)

Not for me, Geo - I spent many of my formative years in Glasgow ... I got paid to translate Rab C. Nesbitt into English for my friends ...

A great 30 minutes! Bob was in court for assaulting a rival with frozen beefburgers - his defence was totally glorious.

 

Sorry you couldn't see it - Broughty Ferry looks very nice, by the way.

I've seen that series Will , it was shown here a couple of months ago.

Broughty Ferry is a really nice place to stay. The pictures I posted last week in Lawson's post regarding phone picture quality, were taken about 100Yds from "Bob's" house.

It certainly looked great in the show.

 

I haven't laughed so much since I saw the "Still Game" series some years ago. Scottish TV has produced some seriously funny stuff. I was a huge fan of "Rab C. Nesbitt", and "The Naked Video".

 

Mind you, when I was a kid, I used to lap up "Oor Wullie" and "The Broons"... Corrupted while still a minor.

Incidentally Gregor Fisher had a 750k house just here in Spalding, never met him though :(

Last thing I saw him in was Love Actually - love that film.
