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.
