About this episode

Ford Kiernan discusses his career in comedy, including his work on Still Game and Chewin' the Fat, and shares stories from his experiences in television and film.

Marc and Steve are joined by Still Game and Chewin' the Fat star and co-creator Ford Kiernan. They discuss some of the most iconic (and some of the lost) sketches from Chewin' the Fat , how starting out as a radio show led to the success of the TV version, and what made Ford's partnership with Greg Hemphill so special. Plus, they track the trajectory of Still Game from being performed at the Fringe, through to the television series and back to the stage at the Hydro. And Ford recounts the incredible story of a horse-racing game he invented in South Africa, reveals who some of his most memorable characters are based on, and explains how he ended up shouting "cut" on a Scorsese set.
