I liked in in 'Ever Decreasing Circles' & 'The Good Life' but he was brilliant as Hector.
I did read somewhere that he only thought he'd signed on for 1 season and was shocked to find he'd signed for 3; apparently he found the travelling up to Scotland and being away from his family too much.

I am a big fan. Just started season 5!

Have watched the series many times, thanks to local PBS station (WMHT).

I have always thought this show represented X Marks (or X Marks represented the show) - some always wear kilts (Duncan); some wear on occasions (Gullie/Hector) or only when they need to (Archie).

BTW - I fit into the Gullie/Hector "grouping"
