Well at least the BBC had the good sense to be indoors, and by the way, as they say in Glasgow, they WERE in Glasgow (not Edinburgh) in the studio. We turned over briefly to ITV and they had hinged their whole show on the Edinburgh street party, so they were left to flannel away like demented sheep until midnight.
To those of you who delight in slagging off the show on BBC, I say
was it the Highland Park or am I just not critical enough, but I enjoyed most of the show. But where were the rest of "Blazing Fiddles", e.g. Chris Stout and Duncan Chisholm? And why did we not hear more from John McCusker? And why did we have Kate Rusby 2 years in a row? If they must have somebody English, get Eliza Carthy next year.
