Further details
When a mobile phone mast appears in Govan, Rab turns rabble-rouser to fire-up the community. It's driving everyone up the pole, but is it really damaging their health? Nesbitt seeks justice; the mob just want a nice bit of compensation.
With a petition signed by the elite of Govan, he pays the phone company a visit. The MD employs a techie boff to baffle Nesbitt with science but Rab remains determined and after doing his research returns with an offer the company can't refuse... or can they? Holidays to Disneyworld for half of Govan and a visit from Peaches for the Nesbitts hang in the balance as everyone waits for the phone call that will settle this dispute.
