Further details
After 30 years of loyal service, they're cutting his benefits and Rab isn't taking that lying down. It's Nesbitt as he's never been seen him before - high heels and all.
Two benefit fraud investigators are unconvinced and begin a round-the-clock stakeout, forcing Rab to stay in stockings at all times.
It becomes too much for Mary and even Jamesie can't help seeing his best mate in a new light. With his manhood in danger, Mary away and the benefit officers closing in, Rab needs to take drastic action.
