Some of the stars of River City have helped entertain dozens of sick children and their families at Motherwell's Fir Park. They teamed up with some of the Old Firm for the event, which was held to raise cash for a cancer charity. Actor Stephen Purdon, who plays Bob, and June Brogan, who plays Charlie, were amongst the cast who turned out to give their support. Find out more in this Evening Times article.
This is one for the most ardent fans of River City out there! Fancy bidding for a piece of toast eaten by Shellsuit Bob? Radio Scotland's MacAulay & Co team have been looking at the ridiculous things people sell as memorabilia so they asked Stephen Purdon for help and he's agreed to let them auction a piece of toast he'd half eaten for Children In Need! Seriously, check out the photo!
The auction is now live on eBay and will run until 10am on Friday 21st December
