    I didn't watch it but I am amazed at how many people did watch a programme they don't like.

    It has given us some great moments in the past, like these.

    As explained, I had no choice in the matter.

    My only New Years resolution is not to watch it this year, in fact it's to never watch it again, ever.

    you're all correct. it's time to go back to what existed before jools holland's hootenanny, with its array of acts that we're never heard of or never wanted to hear of or thought had died during the great grim reapery of 2016.

    it's time we ended the year with three hours of proper traditional scottish dancing, with kenneth mckellar and andy stewart and moira anderson and the massed ranks of half deaf scottish bagpipers performing all those traditional favourites that have been standard scottish fayre for millennia, ever since traditional scotchness was invented by robbie burns 200 years ago.









    jools holland? poppycock! here's the real thing! thanks to youtube you can lap it up all year round, instead of having to wait 12 months until the joys of the year's final evening finally arrive to give us sassenachs our annual taste of culture. hurray for the act of union!

    Wasn't aimed at you. In fact the comment colud apply to a host of other programmes that people don't like but watch and then tell everyone how crap it is.

    They don't know how lucky they are nowadays. We didn't get New Year's Day as a holiday until 1974 and the Jocks didn't get Boxing Day off (how would the snowflakes coped? ). If, as a youngster you were allowed to stop up, you found out that for some reason the BBC hated the English and Welsh so much they inflicted stuff like this on us.It went on for years until someone must have gone to a Human rights Tribunal and invoked the cruel and inhumane punishment ruling.

    It no doubt makes me weird, but I quite like the sound of bagpipes, especially marching with drummers.

    Jools Holland reminds me of Uncle Ernie from Tommy

    ive only seen it once (hootnanny or whaddever) , cant remember the year , but it will have been when the kids were bairns and we maybe had to be a bit sober ,
    it was **** then , probably had Carole Decker or Belinda from Carlisle , never seen it again .

    How to tell a Scottish gentleman. He is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but doesn't.

    i knew there'd be a heavy metal bagpipes genre, if ac/dc qualify. i must have been asking the wrong people.

    I suppose watching a bloke in a kilt is no worse than watching some eejit bouncing about the stage in a pair of shorts.

    I read an interview with him where he said that wearing it gave him some sort of anonymity off stage as people don't recognise him. He said it let him go on holiday with his family. I just used to think he was posing.

    Andy Stewart! I knew there was something missing this festive period. Now I'll be humming 'Donald Where's ya Troosers' to myself all night. Thanks!

    The White Heather Club. Yet more torture inflicted on us poor English who had done nothing which deserved such pain.

    If I'd known how long it would take to type that on a frickin' iPad, I wouldn't have bothered. Obviously well worth the effort, though.
