Episode 5 of 6

Comedy featuring Scotland's string-vested, beer-guzzling sage. Rab is chosen by his granddaughter to be a role model for her class at school, but it soon becomes a nightmare.

It is every grandfather's dream to be chosen by his granddaughter as a role model for her class at school, but for Rab it becomes a nightmare. He finds out that Peaches' teacher is an alcoholic and a member of his self help group. This means the teacher knows that he too likes more than the odd tipple. How can he live up to expectations?

At 60, Jamesie too is struggling to live up to his own personal expectations - of staying forever young. At his birthday party he dyes his hair, gets a ponytail and insists on having large helpings of jelly. He then drags a reluctant Rab out on the ran-dan but Jamesie denies him entry to the pub. Instead he takes him to a new business venture which is providing a much needed service to the more mature residents of Govan.
