Only An Excuse? - bbc scotland

A Scottish institution. Every Hogmanay the heroes, villains and bampots of the beautiful game are lampooned mercilessly in a half-hour comedy special.

The show puts the boot in to players, pundits and politicians alike.

Jonathan Watson’s take on Scotland’s top personalities is now the stuff of legend.

Helped by producer Philip Differ’s razor sharp script, Jonathan provides stunningly accurate portrayals as Frank McAvennie sniffs out the burds and Sir Alex Ferguson is proud to say a few words. But will Kenny Dalglish feature on this year’s show? Maybe's aye, maybe's naw.

Only An Excuse? celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2006.
