ErsatzThistle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Stumbled across dozens of old episodes of "Take The High Road" on youtube the other day. Did people really watch that pish back in the day ? And I had forgotten all about this pish until the other day. I give you "Snoddy" ...... Add gems such as "Athletico Partick", "Legit", "Only An Excuse" and "Happy Campers" to the list. Any other contenders for the title of being the worst Scottish TV program ? I do confess to being a "River City" fan though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that the STV execs actually agreed with you ! They wiped every single episode of it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got the follow up Shindig, with Sydney Devine, which defies description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generators and manhole covers were favourites as well. It was called Tales of Crime, I think its where the term Ned first came into common parlance.

A quick Google reveals Bill Knox did write a series called Tales of Crime but that was a series about (in)famous Scottish crime tales. Crimedesk was infact called eh... Crimedesk. The word ned has been on the go since Victorian times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
