We have a couple of video's of the programme, I must admit its funny sometimes. My hubby can laugh so much that everyone else in the company laugh with him even though they have no idea what he's laughing at. His favourite saying is; gonny no dae that, Glasgow patter at its best.

Hi bf2002,

I'll try and help you out as I should be able to get you photos of the shops as they are actually in Townhead and I pass there regularly.

It's a great TV comedy series and I' glad to see it doing so well. Unfortunately I have a sorry tale to relate about it re photos: one day I was taking photos for this website in High Street and Merchant City when, by chance, I came upon a film set (at the time I thought it was filming for Jet Li’s £28m Glasgow film, Danny the Dog) near King Street. Like everyone there I joined the crowd to see what was happening. Next minute I was approached by an irate member of the crew who demanded that I turn off my camera - even although I was not taking a photo at the time. Naturally, I told her that I would not, and off she disappeared only to return with (presumably) her boss. I told him the same thing and off he went only to return with a PC who was controlling traffic. Again I told them no and the PC departed saying it was not a police matter as long as I did not cause an obstruction. The crew then halted filming to get more crew to stand in front of me to stop me taking photos which I originally did not intend to take.

Anyway, just because they made such a big fuss I now felt I should take a couple of photos just to show that they could not boss their public about...I'll have a look for them and see if I can find them, but may have deleted them!

Anyway, they got a bit of Glaswegian attitude that day - I dread to think what Winston would have done!!!

...here's one, I believe it is from the episode where Jack and Victor go into town and visit a tobacco shop where they proceed to cause a commotion by smoking to the limit!
