4. Out of the Frying Pan, and into the Pyre

Turning 60, ex-con and stand-up comedian Gary has turned his attention to heirlooms, send-offs for prison pals, and trying not to take his Dad's final, shocking words to heart.

This final episode of the series sees Glaswegian comedian Gary Little staying on the straight and narrow, but finding new deals to obsess over, and starkly facing mortality.

He’s turned 60 and is suddenly more aware of how much time he has left - and what his legacy will be. Agonising over an extravagant new purchase, he fears it might become an overlooked heirloom, his health woes become the stuff of local gossip, and the deaths of people close to him seem to come in the most ludicrous of circumstances.

More true criminal than true crime, this stand-up comedy series gives a different perspective of life before, behind and beyond bars.
