Connell and Florence interview

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 2010

BBC 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.
