Further details
Rab C Nesbitt is back with a full complement of demons to wrestle with and plenty to get off his string-vested chest.
As the series opens, Rab and Mary welcome their son Gash back to the family home and become reacquainted with their grand-daughter, Peaches. Gash has defeated drug abuse but is still battling with his demons. When tough love doesn't work Rab sets a plan in motion to reunite his son with daughter Peaches.

Desperate to impress the young single mum, Govan's ageing Lothario thinks he has exactly what it takes to win her over. When Jamesie realises he's missing one vital ingredient he shows just how far he'll push it to get a woman into bed. Along the way he meets Mambo, a dolphin-obsessed Govan oddity living in a tower block lift. Just when Jamesie thinks all the hard work is done, Mambo has other ideas...
