He seems to spend a lot of time away in his motorhome. Thankfully, he goes to exactly the places you would predict he would ( fish & chips, bingo, lager etc in the 'club' ) so I'll never have to meet him on my jaunts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Park had one of those scoreboards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This live show on Saturday was okay, the audience seemed to give them a bit of adrenaline and the energy came over. I dont get the love for the impressionist tho. Also: Seemed like Cowan had a big fat line of ching before the Sunday programme. Listen to the podcast when I was driving South, he seemed to be extra shouty and interuptimg today. He was butting-in to just about everything Cosgrove was saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Lewis McLeod is a very funny guy but when you have to start impressions with "Hello, John Smith here" then you're not a good impressionist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The old sketches were fun. Hit and miss, obviously, but some really good ones. Stand-outs for me include the one where John Colquhoun gets caught with a book on the St Johnstone team bus, and the old 'You've been fab, I've been Fergus' stand-up spoofs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 John Boyle as Frankie Howerd and Begbie the Hibee were good too. I also miss Watson's Windup which was on before OTB in the old days. Occasionally I put on his Bob Wylie voice and say "it smells of fousty pish" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Breaking the news on Radio Scotland with Des Clarke on a Friday lunch time is actually very enjoyable. Wouldn't be against a new format copying that tbh. Would mean comedians ripping into Celtic and Rangers and would probably be shut down within a couple of weeks.

No, it isn't. It's one of those programmes where the participants seem to be having much more fun than the listening audience (certainly me, anyway). I hate when I accidentally catch it. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Cappielow one is still there, now used as an advertising hoarding although a Ton fan can confirm The large electronic scoreboard at Meadowbank Stadium also presented the scores as A 1-1, B 2-0 etc which annoyed those who didn't buy a programme Spot on regarding Cappielow. There’s a clock and the rest is advertising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
