BBC Scotland have filmed six plays from the Play, Pie and a Pint series at Oran Mor in Glasgow (my old local pub) which are often brilliant. The first is this evening at 10pm and can be watched on iplayer.

There's also a documentary from 2014 if you want to understand the principles behind A Play, a Pie and a Pint.
David Maclennan who founded the programme is one of my theatrical heroes - as founder of 7:84 and Wildcat he started me on this expensive and fulfilling obsession that has stayed with me to date. Where I was growing up there really weren't theatres - but the touring productions would always come to my local sports centre and that's where I got the theatre bug. I always try to go to APAPAAP when I'm up in Glasgow - the sheer volume means it's become a remarkable nursery for new plays, new writers and new voices.
