    Only an Excuse

    It's that time of year again. Dennis Law, Frank McAvennie and Tango Man get their annual outing.

    What's the predictions for tonight, can it get any worse than previous years?

    Stopped being funny twenty years ago at least. Embarrassing to Scotland and Scottish comedy.

    BBC Scotland's Hogmanay coverage is horrific and won't be watching.

    You could copy and paste the equivalent thread from last year (and 2017, 2016 etc) and it will all be applicable. Chronic TV.

    The BBC Scotland are showing Jim Smiths (Farmer Jim) Back to the Teuchter live recording at 10pm, which is something interesting, new and funny - everything OAE is not.

    I believe Frank McAvennie has been retired this year because of a dispute with the BBC. Daily Record reading weedgies everywhere are in mourning.

    Still there will undoubtedly be some cutting edge satire featuring Dennis Law, Walter Smith and some light hearted joshing about the wittiness of sectarianism.

    Still Going :/
    OAE - that game should have been abandoned but went into extra time and penalties. The longest running game of penalties due to embarrassing lack of quality where it matters...

    Its a show aimed at cardigan wearing octogenerians who can actually, partially, recall some of the alleged imitations and as funny as a wet Sunday in Stornwsy.

    They will switch over, from a Glasgow studio, to Edinburgh at about 5 to midnight then back again a few mins after the bells. Why on earth they ignore one of the worlds biggest New Year parties for a Glasgow studio is beyond me.

    The thread about how crap Only an Excuse is is now a bigger part of New Year for me than the programme itself is, which I haven't watched for at least decade, because it is crap.

    This. Glasgow the Hearts of Scottish Cities. Everyone has to pretend it’s the place to be at Hogmanay.
