This is being repeated on BBC4 to-night. It was a spoof based on an airline written and starring Alan Cummings . It is very Scottish and was cringingly great ( if that is a word) I hope I enjoy it as much as I did the first time unlike Butterflies which I always wanted to see again and then hated it when I did .

It's very funny if a bit dated now. I loved Alan Cummings and Forbes Masson in it.

I missed this first time around, so I’ll give it a go.

( Incidentally, it’s CUMMING, no ‘s’)

Don’t think I ever saw it - we were probably in Foreign Parts, but I’ll def. watch it.
I’m reminded of a play seen ages ago - Boeing Boeing - a hilarious airline-staff farce - did anyone else ever see it?

I stand corrected Daddima. I should have checked before I posted ☺️

Siobhan Redmond was so good as the " trolly dolly " she had a catchphrase something like " a wee tootie o' shortie with your dram " . It was written by the two men who had been friends since drama college .
