That Funny Day After Christmas
I've just had an e-mail from our comedy producer, Margaret-Anne Docherty who is back in her Glasgow office preparing for tomorrow's live show with Johnny Beattie. Both of them seemed to have survived the general germ-fest that tends fell so many of our production staff at this time of year.
As well as her own programme, Margaret-Anne has pulled together the various components of our special Day of Scottish Comedy. It includes Richard Wilson and Ashley Jensen in the first of a new series called The Clan and a repeat of the programme we recorded Stanley Baxter's eightieth birthday earlier this year.
Later you'll get the first chance to hear the improv show Dance Monkey Boy Dance which we recorded at the Glasgow Comedy Festival and the first of the new series of the Franz Kafka Big Band, which a few months ago when I postponed its original transmission.
There's music too as Bryan Burnett plays the most requested comedy songs in Get It On and Archie Fisher picks up the theme with a special edition of Travelling Folk - called Funny Folk - which includes music from Billy Connolly and many others.
I hope you get a chance to catch some of these programmes and let me know what you think of these sort of themed days.
