Garlic comedy



My friend Torcuil has co-written a sitcom, and it's been aired on the BBC Alba Channel. It's in Garlic which is the language that the sweaties are supposed to speak... it's probably in poor taste to lapse into any comments about Rab C Nesbitt (which for some reason, most of the English can't make head-nor-tail of - I've not spent long in Scoland, but I always have to translate it for people here) and a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/gd/episode/b00dx3w8/Broadford_or_Bust_Episode_1/"it's available on BBC Alba's i-player for a limited time/a. div /div divThe premise for the drama is an everyday administrative disaster scenario:/divbr /divThe government has decided to send ALL the rival Gaelic language development agencies to ONE office, in an ACTUAL Gaelic speaking area on the Isle of Skye. When they're not fighting each other to leave, the professional Gaels are barricading the door against the Gaelic community. It's job dispersal gone mad. It's Broadford or Bust!br //divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12478668-1685945904754434998?l=nevertrustahippy.blogspot.com'//div
