The Doctor Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Jack Docherty was definately a hobo. I met him at a game once at ER in hospitality, it was not long after he'd started his late night show on Channel 5, I told him that I was his viewer, which he took well to be fair. I have Absolutely on DVD, copied from old VHS, it's a bit scratchy, but watchable. Cost me a tenner off Ebay ages ago. It available on Virgin TV on demand too.

Boris Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sure Moray Hunter was a hobo. Did they not all goto Watsons? Sure they had a song re Mikey Weir. Wrong. Moray Hunter sat in front of me at Easter Road for the League Cup semi v Dundee in 96. He is a Jambo. In fact i believe he is in the picture that bedecks the Gorgie Road end/side of the Wheatfield Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flimsy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The best two sketches were Stoneybridge and Calum Gilhooley and they were both on every second episode, so you knew that the show would be great one week and just OK the other. Other regular characters were Frank Hovis (a drunk who sat on the toilet), the little girl played by Morwenna Banks 'Yes, I DO know what happens when you go to the hostipal', Denzil and Gwynedd who were the most Welsh couple in the world, the Nice family who were the perfect family and the programme also introduced Mr Don and Mr George who had a bizarre spin-off series. I loved this programme, it was good to hear Edinburgh accents on the telly and was the source of much playground discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilberts Fridge Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Saw John Sparks who did Frank Hovis as well as Chadwell the strange Welsh lad at the festival one year. Very funny, he now does the voice over for Fireman Sam I believe. How the mighty fall. Its always good to see McGlashen get some airspace, my favourite professional Scotsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one sketch when the Dad (Jack Doherty iirc) is tying to explain to the kids who Mr Love-pump (pronounced loovay-poomp) and Mrs Bitch-Queen (pronounced beesh-kwan). As it turns out they are the neighbours!! Calum Gilhooley - "Oh look, Belize bananas. I've been to Belize, but I've never had a banana. Wait the now. That's no right...." and his constant references to James Bond as Davie Bond and Henry Fonda as Henry Honda. Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wrong. Moray Hunter sat in front of me at Easter Road for the League Cup semi v Dundee in 96. He is a Jambo. In fact i believe he is in the picture that bedecks the Gorgie Road end/side of the Wheatfield Stand. I can back this up. He used to stand just behind me in the shed. He was also one of the many hundreds, myself included, who were locked out of the 5-0 game at McDermaid Park around '92 but stood outside for the whole 90 mins 'cos you could see one of the goals in between the stands! Quite surreal looking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Cannie seem to find shadwell on youtube! There are plenty - he's actually spelt Siadwell but both spellings work. Plus Siadwell was on Naked Video, not Absolutely. Unless you were thinking of Gwynedd & Denzil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
