A centenary celebration of the life and legacy of Rikki Fulton, one of Scotland鈥檚 most beloved comic actors.

Ashley Jensen narrates an affectionate tribute to one of Scotland鈥檚 funniest comedians, Rikki Fulton. It鈥檚 100 years since Rikki first made an entrance on to the world stage and 20 years since he bowed out. For decades, he鈥檚 been making the nation laugh with his rubber face, razor sharp wit and laconic demeanour. His influence is still felt in new generations of comics, and clips of his sketches still make us laugh to this day.

This programme tells the story of his extraordinary life by bringing together the people closest to him and the people he inspired. It delves deep into the vaults with the help of some never-before-seen home movie footage to discover the story of the real man behind the genius and showcase the best-loved moments of his career - from his iconic long-running characters such as Francie and Josie, IM Jolly and Supercop to the one-off sketches such as Terrible Burns and The Driving Instructor. We鈥檒l also feature his memorable appearances in movies such as Local Hero and Gorky Park.
