I thought it started around 1982. Wikipedia says it started as the Freddie Starr Variety Madhouse in 1979 Which means Russ was very much David Gilmour to Starr's Syd Barrett The supporting cast changed so the 1980 madhouse wouldn't be the classic line up you remember Which I think makes Bella Emberg the Stevie Nicks character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russ_Abbot_Show Edited June 2, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 8 hours ago, ICTChris said: A full 20 minutes of Archie MacPherson describing the cup final atmosphere. What a prospect. Unsure how to choose between Russ Abbotts Madhouse or the analysis of the Scottish Conservative conference in the evening though. Decisions decisions. There's a chance that, due to the extra time and ensuing riot on the pitch, that either Happy Days or Russ Abbot got binned. The Pink Panther Show looks like a pre-thought expendable inclusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a rather unseemly uptempo version of "Oh, When the Saints" in 1987. We played at Brockville the week before the Killie v Falkirk final in 1997 and the home side played their cup final single a few times over the tannoy. It was an absolute fucking dirge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pink Panther show was the sort of shite they put on when Scottish kids were on summer holiday and the English kids weren't, so the proper stuff wasn't allowed on.

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Aye. As cup final songs go, ours must have been the absolutely most cringeworthy of the lot. Embarrassing. Rolf Harris..WTF. Never heard since for good reason, not just us getting pumped from Hibs. Edited June 2, 2023 by Hawkeye the Gnu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
