| In a bid to foster a return to
traditional values, Tom Winning and Brian Soutar are to hit the road this summer with a
family variety show provisionally titled "The Twa' Bigots." While the show is still being written, The Jaggy Thistle has managed to
obtain a selection of excerpts that promise to have them rolling in the aisles wherever
there is nostalgia for the good old days. Show highlights include:
- On stage banter between Tam and Brian. Tam: "So whit fate
awaits those who deny the Lord then, Brian?" Brian: "An eternity of agony in The
Pit, Tam!"
- Feel the Lord's passion. Onstage renactments of the
Crucifixion with members of the audience invited up to experience the pain of slow
strangulation and terminal blood loss. One for the kiddies.

- "She might be dumb as a stump but she makes a good steak
pie." Tam and Brian duet on a touching tribute to traditional womanhood.
- Compassion interlude: Slide show of dewy eyed infants with Tam
and Brian leading the communal oohing and aahing..
- Big dramatic finale, with "Detectives Tam and Brian"
smashing a plot to use schools to introduce kids to rational thought and the development
of tolerance. Screaming "Nancy Boy" is unmasked on stage and beaten to the death
by our two heroes.
- Encore and closing prayers, back drop provided by dead Nancy
Boy turning slowly suspended from a gibbet
Promoters hope that this type of traditional family fare will
turn children away from watching secularist TV programmes that might give them
nightmares
