Our accidental Liam Neeson month continues as we take a look at the 1990 film The Big Man also known as Crossing The Line in the United States.
It follows unemployed Scottish miner Danny Scoular as he is forced into the world of bare knuckle boxing to provide for his family. Starring Liam Neeson, Joanne Whalley Kilmer, Billy Connolly and our favourite…Pat Roach!
In the news we discover something you can see everyday at Irvine beach, meet a man who attempts to become Scotland’s new hide and seek champion, find an alternative toilet in Falkirk and debate which pants are best for building a nest. Oh and Nicky does his best Timmy Mallet impression.

We’re back! After a small break The Culture Swally is back and we are talking about the 1995 classic Rob Roy. Starring Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, Brian Cox, John Hurt and Tim Roth, it tells the tale of Rob Roy MacGregor who is wronged by a nobleman and his nephew, becomes an outlaw in search of revenge while fleeing the Redcoats, and faces charges of being a Jacobite. Honour made him a man. Courage made him a hero. History made him a Legend.
In the news we learn about the Scottish words you can’t use on Wordle, discuss the complications of getting the wrong sauce on your kebab, discover the essential items you should take on a camping trip and we meet the new Laird of Glencoe.

We’ve polished our flutes, got the creases in our trousers as sharp as we can and are donning our favourite red bow tie this week as we discuss the 1975 Play for Today ‘Just Another Saturday’. Starring John Morrison, Eileen McCallum, Bill Henderson and Billy Connolly, it tells the tale of John, who looks forward with nervous excitement to the annual Orange order march in Glasgow, in which he will lead his local Orange Lodge band.
In the news we take order of a toaster for ‘dafty’, meet a couple who enjoyed some al fresco sex, have a wee court round up, an update on the 2022 pie awards and reminisce about teenage magazines ‘Fast Forward’ and Look-In’.

We’re going to party like it’s 1999 on this episode of The Swally as we look at the 1982 Play For Tomorrow ‘The Nuclear Family’. Starring Jimmy Logan, Ann-Scott Jones and Gerard Kelly, it tells the tale of a family living in a dystopian future, where teenagers do all the work and earn all the money. When the family decide to go on a ‘working’ holiday, they get more than they bargained for.
In the news we find out what happens when you put your shopping in the wrong car, discover a maize based snack resembling a Scottish institution, meet a couple who got more than they bargained for after a Hogmanay kiss and ponder why Tina Turner isn’t allowed to attend a Scottish wedding.

Happy New Year everyone! We are having an extra week off on The Swally, so we thought we’d put out that cheap, annoying clip show they used to do in The Golden Girls and Friends.
We look back at some of our favourite stories from 2021, including milk thieves in Dalkeith, acting tips from Sean Connery, a man desperate to be let into a house, a cigarette smuggler and Scotland’s newest superhero.

Happy New Year from both of us at The Swally! We have a Hogmanay treat for you all as we discuss the 2013 pilot of ‘Two Doors Down’. Initially meant to be a one off, the show proved to be so popular it’s currently in its fifth series in the BBC. The show tells the story of Beth and Eric as they host a Hogmanay party for their neighbours, with hilarious consequences.
In the news we take a look at the 2022 Top Pie Awards, meet a gentleman who is at the end of his Wick, visit a pub with a slightly unusual name and get some customer service tips from a tattoo parlour.

Merry Christmas from The Swally boys, as we have a look at something festive on this episode. We are going back to 1983 when we were both just small boys to talk about one of our favourite small boys growing up. Yes, it’s time for The Krankies as we review their 1983 Christmas special ‘Christmas with The Krankies!’.
If you haven’t seen The Krankies, then you can find the link to this wonderful festive treat here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHKZxmdGPeE
In the news we meet a prisoner who is desperate to order from ‘The Book of Dreams’, discuss our Christmas traditions, meet a gutted man who has lost his bagpipes and tell some Scottish Christmas cracker jokes.
Oh and if all that isn’t enough, we have a Shang-a-Lang update!
Old versions of ‘The Book of Dreams’ can be found here: https://retromash.com/argos/

We’re feeling guilty on The Swally this week as we look at the first series of Neil Forsyth’s wonderful thriller series ‘Guilt’. Centred around two brothers, played by Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives, it tells the tale of two brothers involved in a hit and run and the implications of their decision on what to do next. Please note, as this is pretty recent, we do spoil it, so if you haven't watched it yet, please watch it before you listen!
In other news we ponder on crying in the cinema and playing 7 a side football and discuss a man with an unusual way of selecting his sweets at the cinema. We also discover some of the stranger things left in a nightclub in Glasgow and find out what some ‘odd folks’ have been getting up to in Ayr.
