This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Welcome. Thank you so much for listening to the Friday bonus ball of Restless Natives, the podcast, with me, Gordon Smart, and today, for one time only, Dundee United's favourite son.

One of the greatest writers to emerge from Dundee and the Silvery Tay. He's McGonigal-esque. Maybe a little bit better than that.

He is the secret face of Bob Servant. He wrote Guilt, the brilliant drama and sitcom.

He's a returning guest on Restless Natives as well.

The one and only, happy now, Neil Forsyth.

Welcome back, Neil.

Great to be here.

Have you recovered from the disappointment of losing out on an award to a building and a dead dog?

Never.

No, he'll never recover.

Neil, thanks for doing this because DiBarnett, Fanny DeVito.

Robert De Nerely can't be here today because he's flying back to Vegas.

Question number one is, what class do you think the working class hero, Martin Comston, is flying back to Vegas?

Good question.

Yeah.

Premium? Premium economy? Trying to kind of keep one foot in the, you're the lads? I mean, for all the abuse I get on this podcast for being a middle

class, Kinross posh boy, let's just say he's not on easy jet. Just that I'll point that because

he's not here. It's great to see you, Neil. Good to see you, mate. The last thing I saw from you was some correspondence in true Bob Servant style

with a referee following a football match you were involved in

that had a disgruntled football team and an even more disgruntled referee.

And it felt like peak forsyth to me.
