'Rab C. Nesbitt' back for Christmas special
Rab C. Nesbitt will return for a 45-minute BBC Two Christmas special.

The one-off, first announced at this year's Edinburgh TV Festival, will see the string-vested, armchair philosopher quit alcohol and find religion.

Gregor Fisher will return as Nesbitt, with Elaine C. Smith reprising her role as his wife Mary Doll and Tony Roper back as Jamesie Cotter.

Gary Lewis and Kathleen McDermott are new additions to the cast.

Colin Gilbert will direct the special from a script by Ian Pattison.
