Alex Norton must be short of cash.

As well as being absolute pish this looks like it's been written by someone on mind-altering drugs.

I think Norton and James McAvoys sister (Joy?) must be doing this as a favour to Watson because they are in Two Doors Down with him.

Absolutely brutal, I don't think I smiled once

Same s***, different year.

**Pretty Boy** · 31-12-2019 10:31 PM

I vaguely raised a chuckle at the Scotland manager selection meeting. Mainly because you can imagine it was fairly accurate.

The rest was pretty much expected.

**Stanton Spence** · 31-12-2019 10:32 PM

Well that was even worse than I expected jeez why did I actually put myself and the missus thru that?

I've probably had a few too many which skews it towards a better review, but that was funnier than usually, other than too much Brexit. Definitely cringed less than in other years.

Just switched over to watch Jools Hootenanny to be confronted by McCoist at one of the tables !
Weegie Central tonight.

I thought there were some right funny sketches.

No McAvennie, Law or Souness. A lot better.

Even viagra couldn't have helped me raise a laugh at that rubbish.

I thought it was the best for a few years but not a patch on the Scottish tv adverts programme earlier on, that was brilliant and if you missed it I reccomend it on catch up.

**Renfrew_Hibby** · 31-12-2019 10:55 PM

More politics than old firm I thought?

Ian Blackford would never sport a maroon hankie in his breast pocket though.

**Pretty Boy** · 31-12-2019 10:55 PM

Does Fran Healey from Travis have an actual man bun?

It would be quite funny to do a modern, one-off Edinburgh special of some sort.

We do 15 minutes worth of nae medals, Levein on the bog, unfinished stand, 400,000 fans, 12 fingered sister pumping gags. In the interests of fairness we give them 15 minutes to presumably hold up a 5-1 hand gesture. What do they mock us for - upgrading the family car and not “buying British”? Driving said car without driving gloves? Not playing golf? Not even owning a cardigan?

Cracking tv.

For us, anyway.

It would be great to make a programme with the main intention being to alienate Glaswegians - a whole half hour without a thinly-veiled sectarian joke. There will be Old Firm game levels of domestic abuse when it reaches the end without a “whit fit dae ye kick wi” punchline.

Anybody who, by choice, watches that trash should go for a check up. For those who accidentally watched it and enjoyed it, get a check up as well.

Was filmed late October one year when I worked at the Beeb.

***Alfred E Newman*** · 01-01-2020 08:18 AM

Sounds like it was up to the usual standard. I'll just go and tape my sides up before watching the recording.

BBC Scotland? Absolutely!

“BBC. They’re anti-Scottish”

BBC spend tens of millions setting up a pointless channel in response to the complaints.

“BBC Scotland. They’re anti-Edinburgh”

Folk just like to complain about the BBC because they feel like it should cater precisely for them. On topic, Only An Excuse was rubbish. As expected.

**we are hibs** · 01-01-2020 08:51 AM

***** as usual

Only bit that wouldve come close to raising a smile was the police at ibrox bit. Because its true.

"My mother was a Fanny, my granny was a Fanny. I come from a long line of Fannys"

The best Irn Bru advert ever.

no where near as bad as previous years and defo got a few chuckles .

**Greenbeard** · 01-01-2020 09:13 AM

Can't believe the number of folk on here saying it is absolute crap who haven't actually watched it. Judge and jury blind. Those who pass judgement on Hibs having just watched on tv often get slated on here but at least they've watched in some capacity.
Mind, you were all spot on.
P155 poor impersonations but Gregor Townsend takes the crappiest of the crap impersonation awards. Dead heat for second between Shelley Kerr, Gerard, Lennon, Blackford. Awful. Just awful.

You don't need to WATCH only an excuse to know it's going to be about as funny as a Khassoghi family day out to the Saudi embassy. Some things you just KNOW.
