Scotch and Wry(1978)

Scotch and Wry is a Scottish comedy sketch series that launched on BBC One Scotland with Rikki Fulton at its helm. After two initial runs in 1978 and 1979, the show became a fixture of the channel's Hogmanay programming, running annually from 1980 to 1992 and attracting millions of viewers across Scotland. The series served as a springboard for several actors who would go on to notable careers, including Gregor Fisher, Tony Roper, Gerard Kelly, and Miriam Margolyes. Known for sharp Scottish humour and topical sketches, Scotch and Wry became a beloved holiday tradition that defined a generation of British comedy.
