The second part of this profile of the 76-year-old comedian sees him back in Scotland, meeting locals for selfies, reflecting on his first trade as a "useless" welder and assessing the paradoxical character of his native country. Ross Noble, Sharleen Spiteri and Micky Flanagan contribute.

David Stubbs, The Guardian, 4th January 2019

Without his impressive range of eccentric characters to hide behind, endearing comic Rob Brydon comes over bland. His opening schtick with the audience is light-hearted and amusing enough, and he's sufficiently quick-witted not to be overshadowed by his main guest, a gently sardonic Terry Wogan. But nothing about this old-fashioned set-up really sparks. And Brydon's duet with singer Sharleen Spiteri is horribly misjudged.
