Rikki Fulton
Comic legend Rikki Fulton dies
"The comedian and actor Rikki Fulton has died aged 79 after a number of years battling with Alzheimer's disease.
His widow Kate said he died peacefully on Tuesday night in a Glasgow nursing home.
Rikki will probably be best remembered as the Reverend IM Jolly, a regular character in his long-running television show Scotch and Wry"
Probably not too well known down south but an institution in Scotland. It wasnt Hogmanay in my house if we werent watching Scotch and Wry on telly, his portrayal of the Vicar IM Jolly was hilarious. Sad loss.
