I wasn't allowed to watch this when I was I kid, but my older brother recorded it off the tv on to an audio cassette for me without my parents knowing. I listened to that cassette over and over for years. Such a great comedian, Glasgow's finest. Love you Billy x

I guy I know said he first saw this many years ago in a cinema(?) in Norway, with Norwegian subtitles. All was fine until it got to the punchline. The Norwegians read the subtitles a second or so before Billy said, and they laughed so loud he never heard the punchline himself. I loved his earlier stuff. He seemed to mellow after the 80s, and was never quite the same. His meandering storytelling style was unique, and the way he pull true stories into the mix made him without doubt the best comedian of his generation.

My favorite joke with Scotsmen in it was from *Dave Allen* and was recently adapted for use in *Game of Thrones* and goes like this: An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar and orders a round of whiskeys. When they arrive, each glass has a fly floating in it... the Englishman frowns, pushes the glass away and asks the bartender for a new one, sans fly. The Irishman looks at his glass, plucks the fly out, throws it over his shoulder and downs the whiskey. The Scotsman looks at his drink, picks the fly up and holds it over the glass and shouts *_”spit it out you wee fooker, spit it out !!!”_*
