Gregor Fisher: mistake to portray Rev IM Jolly

The Rab C Nesbitt star put on the dog collar and sat in the famous green chair to honour Rikki Fulton's most famous character for a BBC Scotland Hogmanay sketch. But the 65-year-old wishes he had not done the sketch, recorded to mark the 40th anniversary of Scotch And Wry, Rikki's famous sketch show that gave Fisher his TV break.
