This new series is moving from radio to BBC II Scotland. You probably won’t be able to watch it here yet (it takes a while for these wonderful Britcoms to reach here), but it sounds great. Characters like Jim and Jock, Mither and Faither, and Man’s Man, fill this comedy sketch show set against the spectacular backdrop of North Eastern Scotland.

Mither and Faither’s life looks like it should be idyllic. The kids have left home, they can afford good holidays and although now middle-aged they are still comfortably in love. Everything is fine, except for two annoying things – their friends Selma and Eddie.  Jim and Jock are farmer and farm labourer respectively, both live in the “Brig O Doon” village of Meiklewartle where they have decided to set up a community television station, MTV Meiklewartle Television. They are assisted by the village wench / camera person Feel Moira (Mad Moria) so the pictures are a wee bit wobbly. If you can’t watch it yet, try keeping up-to-date on Desperate Fishwives on www.facebook.com.
