Just watched Miller's Mountain on the Comedy Playhouse and tore something important from laughing.
Crude, irreverent and utterly devoid of pretension. A fantastic example of red-blooded Scottish comedy that should not be missed at any cost, even if just to catch a glimpse of Elkie the Boss-Eyed Stag.
Jimmy Chisholm's alcoholic mountain rescue/ice cream van driver staggers ineptly from one set piece to the next while being harried by Sharon Rooney's withering one-liners, but both are in danger of being up-staged by David Ireland's eerie and socially inept dog handler 'Bill'.
Kevin Guthrie plays the excellent (and increasingly exasperated) novice mountaineer "Conor", and an appearance from Only an Excuse's Jonathan Watson delivers one of the funniest lines in the show in the closing moments while reflecting on a harrowing day in the mountains.
If you missed it, check it out on BBC I-Player. You can thank me later.
