On this episode of The Swally, we’re going back to 1979, as we look at the BBC adaptation of John Byrne’s, The Slab Boys. Taking place in the Slab Room of a carpet manufacturer in Paisley, the play follows the antics of Slab Boys Phil, Spanky and Hector as they try to scrape through life in the 50s. Starring Gerard Kelly, Billy McColl, Joseph McKenna and Tom Watson, Slab Boys is available to watch on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EfSkd2Ao_I
In the news we visit a new holiday designation that is a must visit for Scots, hear about the secret drinking dens of Glasgow in the olden days, ponder if a WWE Superstar is correct and all Scottish women sound like Shrek and lick our lips over Brian Cox’s favourite Scottish foods.
