Funny as. Also the tapes were like gold dust in the 80s. How the mighty have fallen. It's interesting that it's heyday was when Tony Roper did the bulk of the writing. Btw back when they used to send up Denis Law regularly, was Law supposed to be a) half pished, b) a bit thick or c) both ? It was only a few months ago that Watson said he was going to ditch the politics from the show and focus solely on the football again. Lying fuck.

Most the writing was done by Phil Differ (Who effectively wrote or had a finger in every Scottish comedy of the 80’s and 90’s like Rab C Nesbit, Naked Video, scotch and wry etc... all the way up to Chewin the fat and still game) as I do not think Watson and Roper wrote all that many sketches. Not sure, but think he left OAE! in the mid 00’s and only gets a executive producer title these days. Law is down to when ITV used to use him as a co-commentator in the 80’s and early 90’s, as he was not that good at it and was a bit long winded and had a habit of going off on tangents.
