I don't like Chewin the Fat or Still Game much, but viewing figures and cultural impact suggests they're very popular. So the BBC has the ready excuse that they are at least giving the public what they want. The idea of making comedies that appeal to a largely if not exclusively Scottish popular taste is a good and democratic one, even if you disagree with their execution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034135.post-81646316288881530412007-12-09T19:34:00.000+00:002007-12-09T19:34:00.000+00:00Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland by Grandaddy i...Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland by Grandaddy is fantastic!

Back in the day, I used to love <I>A Kick Up The Eighties</I>, <I>Laugh??? I Nearly Paid My Licence Fee</I> and <I>Naked Video</I>, but I bet if you saw them now, they'd be every bit as excrutiating as <I>Chewin' The Fat</I> (and all its associated spin offs) and <I>Only An Excuse</I> - BBC Scotland's <B>official</B> <I>Scotch and Wry</I> replacement.<BR/><BR/>I hate when people (especially East-Coasters) say, "Gonnae no dae that?".
