On this episode we are covering the 1992 film written by and starring Peter Capaldi, Soft Top Hard Shoulder. Having failed to make it in London as a comic-book artist, Gavin Bellini (Capaldi) - an Italian-Glaswegian from an ice-cream dynasty - reluctantly yields to his uncle's demands that he return home for his dad's sixtieth birthday party; if he makes it, the uncle played by Richard Wilson, may give him a share of the family fortune. But as he heads north in his worn-out Triumph convertible, Gavin meets countless obstacles. Will Gavin reach the party on time?

In the news we meet man who made an easy £50 in a chip shop by getting his smoked sausage out, discover a new word added to the dictionary, discuss the SNP text message scandal and work out how out pronounce Peter Capaldi’s surname.
