2. Lulu's Coming!
Dundee’s burger van Svengali Bob Servant (Brian Cox) sensationally retires from public life, paving the way for the reunion of a lifetime. With very special guest, Lulu
After an astonishing business career in Broughty Ferry, Bob Servant (Brian Cox) is proud and humbled to announce his retirement from public life.
This event has rightfully been honoured with two special radio programmes as Bob looks back on his career; righting wrongs, bearing grudges and offering what he has learnt about life, romance, and running a relatively profitable burger van.
Bob is a largely respected expert on most topics, and his front-footed determination is unfailing. Having reached the summit of his career, he’s ready to prove that he’s an entrepreneur with a wipe-clean reputation, a healthy bank balance, extraordinary physical attributes and no criminal record whatsoever.
His walk down the red carpet of life is leading to an inevitable moment - a climactic reunion with Lulu, inspired by a twist of fate outside Invergowrie Petrol Station in 1983.
These two Bob Servant episodes feature Jonathan Watson, Phyllis Logan, Greg McHugh and Rufus Jones, as well as very special guest Lulu.
Alongside the archive of the Dundee Courier, where ‘30 years of slander’ can be found, Bob Servant's life has been detailed in Neil Forsyth's award-winning books and cult TV series (also starring Brian Cox). Neil Forsyth is the writer and creator of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s multi award-winning Guilt, and hit ´óÏó´«Ã½1 drama series The Gold, inspired by the Brink's Mat robbery.
