Line in a broad Scottish accent

[ambergregory]

'D'ye want tae see the body?' spoken very slowly. Any idea of what comedy film or TV programme it might have come from?

it was austin powers the fat scottish bloke!

[ambergregory]

Thanks for the suggestion - only I don't think that's where I know it from, because this is something remembered from when my children were quite young, and that's before Austin Powers. Any other ideas very welcome!

Taggart, maybe?

[paddy_36]

Sorry, Taggart's not comedy (well, not meant to be anyway!)

[reddoggy]

Could

[reddoggy]

Ooops, pressed the wrong button... could it be Private Fraser from Dad's Army? He was Scottish and an undertaker so he might have had a body lying around.

[ambergregory]

Thanks. We did think of him, but believe he sounds a bit higher class than this voice. I'm also clinging to the idea that I'll get an 'oh, yes, of course' feeling if the right context comes along - remember the scene it comes from - and it hasn't happened yet.

Any idea of a timescale? 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's...

[reddoggy]

Do any of the actors here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scottish_actors ring a bell?

[ambergregory]

Some time in the 80s, I would guess.

I'll have a browse through that link you've given. Thanks.
