Play for Today (There will be no Huns in Europe)




First of all let me apologise if anyone takes offence with the subtitle above. (‘Hope you die in your sleep Nacho Novo’) as it is not very pc.

I finally got around to watching most of the Peter McDougall’s plays for tv for the 2nd time after a 30+ year gap.

I watched ‘Elephant’s Graveyard’, ‘Just Another Saturday’ & ‘Just a Boy’s Game’ one after another. The latter with Frankie Miller giving such a rich performance. It is such a pity that he is so ill now & a shadow of his former self. It was so good seeing wet Greenock housing estates during the mid 70s & their entrenched Bigoted attitudes.

How the world has moved on, but I fear that it has moved a lot more slowly in Inverclyde & throughout the West of Scotland.
