Show 63: Doctor Who – The Highlanders
Normally I'd be drooling over the gorgeous Anneke Wills but 'ang on lads - get a load of that geezers titfer. You're having a bubble ain'tcha?
Och aye the Noo, you sassanachs. Tether yon wee hairy beasties and set a trap for that pesky Loch Ness Monster. Can ye believe the stereotypes we’re perpetuating here? No, neither can I. Let me just finish off this deep fried Mars Bar and I’ll carry on with the post.
Robbie Burns, John Logie Baird, Arthur Conan Doyle, Billy Connolly, David Tennant…um…Scotty from Star Trek…Mel Gibson and…er…Groundskeeper Willie?

As you’ll hear from the intro, we have a survey we’d like you to fill in if you have the time – so please do. It’s quick and easy and there are no hidden clauses (we’re not getting any body parts from you or anything, so relax).

See you in a couple of weeks for something non-Who.
The Krankies! Connor Macleod…Robbie Coltrane…um…Burke and Hare (okay, they were Irish but they nicked Scottish corpses, that’s close enough)…
