About This Program
Jack Docherty delves into the BBC archives for a celebration of Scottish comedy, joined by Elaine C Smith, Alex Norton, Karen Dunbar, Lawrence Chaney, Brian Cox, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson. Jack draws a line from the early days of Scottish comedy on TV from the McFlannels, Stanley Baxter and Lex McLean through to the modern generation of quickfire online sensations, and finds that colourful language, authenticity, irreverence and flair for creative insults remain the cornerstones of Scottish humour
Ooh the Banter broadcasts on BBC Scotland at 10:00pm, Thursday, 25 December 2025. (Subtitles, repeat)
