Jonathan Watson: All Back To Mine

Recorded at Oran Mor, Glasgow

If you fancy some company, then I have the perfect guest… Jonathan Watson’s known and loved as Colin from Two Doors Down, and he was on our tellies at Hogmanay for decades, in the hugely-loved sketch show Only An Excuse? – which first came to life almost forty years ago…

He’s also starred in Dr Who – with Jodie Whittaker at the helm; and as Frank opposite Brian Cox’s Bob Servant,  and as the brilliant Brian in City Lights, alongside the likes of Gerard Kelly, Dave Anderson and Elaine C Smith. 

His theatre work includes stints with 7:84, and in John Byrne’s adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters… He was also in Local Hero – he’s got the jumper to prove it – but we’ll come to that…

Jonathan’s giving us a virtual night in round at his – or maybe he’s turning up on our doorsteps, just like Colin in Two Doors Down… Either way, he’s armed with a Scottish album to play us , film to show us, and some bed-time reading for the end of the night…

You’ll also hear about the time he played football with prog-rock titans Yes – and the gig he played with Ally McCoist, and Mel Gaynor from Simple Minds on drums… 

We caught up at Glasgow’s Oran Mor, where everyone knows him, and everyone loves him – and little wonder…
