| Comment | It didn't get great reviews and was cancelled so they could make a new series of Rab C Nesbitt instead.
Still, at least it got a DVD release unlike Gregor Fisher's [Snoddy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoddy) which just vanished without a trace.
I'm going to take the opportunity to mention [The Tales Of Para Handy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tales_of_Para_Handy) starring Gregor Fisher and Rikki Fulton. I bought it on DVD recently and it's fucking excellent. The BBC made an earlier TV series, a low-budget sitcom called [The Vital Spark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vital_Spark), but The Tales Of Para Handy was a high-budget comedy/drama period piece with a very different tone.
Totally worth watching and there are loads of cameos from well-known Scottish actors. Michelle Gomez and David Tennant make an appearance. Shug from Still Game plays a major character, and Isa appears briefly in one episode. Even Alex McAvoy, who played Sunny Jim in The Vital Spark, makes an appearance as a haggard old sea captain. |
