BBC Scotland have nothing to crow about. Their new comedy Happy Hollidays gave me a***-ache.

I could see every pun coming a mile off in the new series about a caravan park starring Ford Kiernan - and not one of them was funny.

Give me sexy wee Babs Windsor in Carry On Camping anyday. There hasn't been a decent BBC comedy since the Still Game crew all fell out. The follow-ups Dear Green Place and now Happy Hollidays have been lame, to say the least. Ford, pal, please. It's time to kiss and make up with Greg Hemphill - you're simply not funny without him.

Ford Kiernan: how I bounced back after split with Greg

"To be honest, it's a shame Greg and I didn't go on a bit further. And I was taken aback when he decided the business wasn't for him."

Character is based on my old boss, admits Ford

Comedy star Ford Kiernan has revealed he has based the lead character in his new series on an ex-boss.

Ford's still game

Ford Kiernan's world looked to have blown up two weeks ago when the Evening Times revealed he'd split with comedy partner Greg Hemphill. However, today it's revealed the comedy star's future is already rocketing ahead. Ford is set to star in a new comedy sitcom to be made for the BBC, Happy Hallidays.
