| Tutti Frutti | comment |
Cult hit from BBC Scotland and writer John Byrne (not the comic book guy) about the anniversary tour of Rock and Roll band, The Majestics, following the death of their lead singer, Jazza McGlone (Robbie Coltrane). Surviving members Vincent Diver (Maurice Roëves), Bomba MacAteer (Stuart McGugan), and Fud O'Donnell (Jake D'Arcy) recruit Jazza's younger brother, Danny (also Coltrane), who's just returned from New York for the funeral, to replace him. Also tagging along on-and-off for the ride are Eddie Clockerty (Richard Wilson), the band's manager; his secretary, Janice Toner (Katy Murphy); Glenna (Fiona Chalmers), Vincent's pregnant girlfriend; and Suzi Kettles (Emma Thompson), Danny's old classmate from the Glasgow School of Art.Definitely not to be confused with a German Game Show from The '90s where the candidates had to do stripteases. | |

Artistic License – Music | |
| Tutti Frutti / int_e603890a | comment |
Artistic License – Music: The band say that Eddie Clockerty maintains that their hyped single would have climbed higher in the charts if Wee Tommy Cairns "hadnae bought all his copies from the one shop". A record is not docked chart positions for having heavier sales at one chart return shop if the chart compilers are happy that the sales are legitimate. If the compilers find evidence of chart rigging, the record is excluded from the charts altogether. | |
