The Last Laugh
That chilly week between Christmas and Hogmanay can be a bit of a broadcasting limbo, so this year we're trying something a little different. Wednesday the 27th of December will be our official 'Day of Scottish Comedy' and we plan to pepper the schedule with a good selection of giggles and guffaws.
The line-up will include the voices of some famous funnymen; Amando Ianucci, Richard Wilson, Stanley Baxter, Fred MacAulay, Billy Connoly and many more.
We'll have brand new comedy in the shape of The Clan and some classic moments from the archive as selected by our very own Johnny Beattie.
Johnny will be live on air that afternoon and is already hoping that listeners will get in touch to share their own comedy memories from stage, screen or steam radio.
I'm told Johnny caused quite a stir the other day when he came in to the studio to record a trails for the programme. He wandered through offices singing jingle bells and entertained the production team with his impersonations of Holywood greats such as Edward G. Robinson.
So make the 27th a date for your diary. It should be more fun that the post-Christmas sales.
P.S. You can read more about The Clan in from The Sunday Times
