Excellent watch. About scotland and britain in general in the 70s and 80s etc.

Very funny man when he first became prominent on Parkinson but then went on to become a part of the very people he so wonderfully made fun of during his early days.

Used to listen to his first couple of LPs when I was a teenager and came home after a night out and said to my mate, "Have a listen but we've got to be quiet, as my mum and dad are in bed upstairs".

Next day, my mum said... "What was all that noise for, last night?"

Ha! The days of Jobbie Wheeker.
