Episode 55 - 16 Years of Alcohol (2003)

We look at a more serious item this week on The Swally as we cover the 2003 drama, written and directed by Richard Jobson, ’16 Years of Alcohol’. Starring Kevin McKidd, Laura Fraser, Susan Lynch, Ewen Bremner and Lewis Macleod, the film is based on Jobson’s semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. Telling the tale of Frankie, a Ska loving skinhead as it follows him through his childhood and into adulthood as he battles his demons and addictions. 

 

In the news we hear about a woman who has overcome a crippling addiction to Scotland’s favourite soft drink, meet a man who defended his wife’s honour like in ‘a Hollywood movie’ and hear about a hero police dog...oh and some Space Aliens too.
