Join the original crew of the good ship Vital Spark on their precarious voyage of life through the uncharted seas of change. Or, more precisely - up and down the Clyde. Sadly, these are the only five remaining episodes of this classic BBC series. This DVD is a real treat for fans of Scottish humour!
In ‘A DROP O’ THE REAL STUFF, wily Para Handy gets the crew involved in whisky smuggling.
In ‘BAD LUCK CARGO', never the one to miss an opportunity, the Captain takes possession of an unwanted headstone with a view to making a killing on the resale.
In ‘THE WEDDING’, it's near mutiny when the crew are invited to the wedding of the year - all except Dan!
In 'THE QUARREL', having been at sea for a considerable time, it’s inevitable that the odd quarrel will break out. The sparks really fly when the Cap'n gives Dan his jotters - is it the end of the line for the Vital Spark and her crew?
Finally, enjoy a ‘HIGHLAND VOYAGE’ with the crew, old and new, aboard the steamer as she takes a musical journey around the Scottish Isles.
Roddy McMillan (Para Handy) , John Grieve (Dan MacPhail), Walter Carr (Dougie) and Alex McAvoy (Sunny Jim)star in this old comedy classic, which truly has stood the test of time and is a must for any connoisseur of Scottish humour. In various episodes there are guest appearances from Duncan MacRae, Fulton MacKay, Russell Hunter, and Alex MacKenzie.
