Starring Ron Bain, Tony Roper, Gregor Fisher, Jonathan Watson, Andy Gray, Elaine C Smith, Helen Lederer and John Sparkes, the show was a fast-paced mix of sketches and comedy monologues and brought us classic characters such as Rab C. Nesbitt. 
We also discuss when takeaways fight back, both online and in real life against Blue Peter shotguns. We look at Naked Attraction, drones for sale and discuss the Jason Momoa types of Aberdeen. Oh and of course, some Irn Bru content.
