Paul English, Daily Record, 8th October 2011Interview: Ford Kiernan, actor
Funnyman Ford Kiernan has gone straight-ish to play a journalist in a new telly drama so it seems reasonable to ask him how he feels when he's under the hack's scrutiny - about the kind of questions he gets asked and the one that always makes him want to gnaw on a bunch of beermats.

Ford Kiernan says: "Some sections of the press seem to have an idea that Greg and I fell out. We didn't. We still talk. The BBC just ran a raft of reruns of Still Game and got phenomenal ratings, which we were very surprised about. The characters might come back. Nobody died, nobody got killed off."

Meet comics Robert Florence and Iain Connell, the duo who are set to take over from Scottish comedy kings Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill...
Graeme Donohoe, The Scottish Sun, 17th February 2010BBC Scotland have nothing to crow about. Their new comedy Happy Hollidays gave me a***-ache.
I could see every pun coming a mile off in the new series about a caravan park starring Ford Kiernan - and not one of them was funny.
Give me sexy wee Babs Windsor in Carry On Camping anyday. There hasn't been a decent BBC comedy since the Still Game crew all fell out. The follow-ups Dear Green Place and now Happy Hollidays have been lame, to say the least. Ford, pal, please. It's time to kiss and make up with Greg Hemphill - you're simply not funny without him.
