A look back at the life and career of Robbie Coltrane, one of Britain's best-loved stars and a giant of both the big and the small screen. His death earlier this year was one of the big shocks of 2022. Here, Celia Imrie narrates an affectionate tribute to one of Scotland's favourite sons, telling his story through a selection of interviews and special moments from his appearances on BBC shows over the decades.

This retrospective is a reminder of how Robbie first grabbed audiences' attention as an exciting new comedy star in the 1980s, and the transition he made in the 1990s into cinema success and international stardom with roles in some of the movie world's biggest blockbuster franchises.
