Return Of The Old Guys
The last time I saw the old guys was more than two years ago back at Queen Margaret Drive and I wrote about them on this blog. Tonight they were in our spanking new high definition television studio here at Pacific Quay. The "Old Guys" in question are, in fact, the central characters of a new situation comedy that is being made for ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1 and will be shown throughout the U.K. It's been interesting to see how the project has developed since I was in the audience for the original pilot. I enjoyed what I'd seen then but tonight's recording was twice as good and a great cast headed by Roger Lloyd Pack, Clive Swift, Jane Asher & Katherine Parkinson. I wont give away any plot details but there were some real laugh-out-loud moments of visual and verbal comedy. Oh and and just a wee bit of toilet humour too
Filing out with the rest of the studio audience tonight I was suddenly approached by a young woman.
"Are you Mister Zycinski?" she asked. This had the effect of making me feel like an old guy myself, but I guess I'm just surprised by anyone showing me respect these days. Anyway, the young woman turned out to be , a student on the new that's been launched at Caledonian University. She told me she was a fan of this blog and, of course, that's why she's getting a mention. Then, somehow the conversation turned to my decision to move to Inverness and I was just getting into my stride with my standard lecture on the virtues of the Highland Capital when she stopped me in my tracks.
"I'm actually from Inverness myself, " said Amy, "born and bred."
I should have recognised her accent but I was too busy listening to myself. Oh well, that's allowed when you get to my age.
