Comedy Connections - Men Behaving Badly

The cast of BBC 2's hit comedy series take to the stage of Aberdeen's Capitol Theatre on the final night of their triumphant nationwide tour. Now the scene is set for the usual Rab blend of vitriolic comedy... String-vested superslob, Rab C. Nesbitt faces a frosty reception form his family when he finally staggers home from the World Cup, several months late. Spurned by his delinquent sons and driven out of his house by his exasperated spouse, he finds himself reluctantly sharing a squalid bedsit with his unwholesome and equally estranged pal, Jamesie. "I married the wrong woman", laments the rueful Rab, rekindling memories of his first true love, a sweet schoolgirl called Isobel Niddrie.

A Christmas special featuring the string-vested sage of Govan. It is 2008 and Rab is a changed man. He has ditched alcohol, found religion and even discovered the cooker. Meanwhile his wife Mary-Doll has a new career as a cleaner and is dusting for an old flame. Will she be torn away from Rab? Or can her hubby charm the pants off her again? And will Rab be able to resist the Demon Drink?

Rab reminisces about his schooldays.
