    My Dad, actor Ted Webster, was in Just Another Saturday, with Billy Connolly, in 1975. Amazingly its turned into a dvd. Dad passed away in Australia In 2018, so I might buy it, so I can have a live memory of a dad.

    The appeal and relatability of this routine cannot be overstated, especially when coming from a Scottish Catholic school background. Visits from high-ranking clergy were a semi-regular thing at least up until the 90s (ours actually had met the pope at least once) and for all I know continue right up until this day…

    Billy was a genius actor/playwright... Why actor/playwright...?
    Because he could draw you into his personal universe, his mini play with special effects, costumes, cast, crew and screen writing you can genuinely relate to. The Cardinal is a theatrical masterpiece... full stop.
