I love how he goes from the posh Scottish accent at the start down to the guttural Scottish accent by the end, getting harsher the more he gets pissed.
21:07 The comedic genius of this man is still responsible for spreading medicine to the masses through the medium of laughter. This clip has got to be one of - if not the(e) - finest moments of his career; still hillariously funny after 46 years. It's such a shame that the rest of the United Kingdom, and the world, were denied having Scotch and Wry on their TV screens every Hogmany. Thank god for You Tube
Remember Rikki and Gregor in the 70s. This little diamond is a masterclass in character acting - utterly believable and stone dead, perfect comic timing. Lovely man - hugely under-recognised, hugely missed.
Boy do I miss Rikki. I'm laughing like my mum. We all had such a great Hogmanay, when Rikki gave us Scotch and Wry !!!!! Made us proud to be Scottish ! Love our own unique sense of humour. XxxxRIP wonderful man .
