Iain Robertson

Rab (Gregor Fisher) returns for his first new series in 10 years, in the superb Scottish sitcom about the lovable, string-vested philosopher of Govan. Not only is Rab off the sauce, his son Gash (now played by Iain Robertson) is recovering from drug addiction in the psychiatric wing of the hospital, having lost his job, wife and home in the credit crunch. Rab fails to stop Gash moving back in with him and Mary Doll (Elaine C Smith), despite his plea that here in hospital he's got "rubber cutlery, dolphin tapes, the whole nine yards". Fisher's inimitable performance and Ian Pattison's impeccable writing have lost none of their shine.
