Press clippings

I have a covert fondness, which I hope you will keep to yourselves, for City Lights (BBC2). This is Glasgow comedy like Rab C. Nesbitt and Naked Video and nothing much else on earth. [...] Like catching the wrong bus, it takes you into an unknown world.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 15th March 1991
