Jack Docherty

From Absolutely to Chief Miekelson, a look at the remarkable career of comedy icon Jack Docherty and how he nearly gave it all up.

Jack Docherty is one of Scotland's most innovative comedy talents, loved for his portrayal as Chief Miekelson in Scot Squad and his cult classic characters in Absolutely. However, despite having a cult classic TV series and becoming a late-night host, launching a channel with none other than the Spice Girls, he nearly gave it all up.

We hear how, if it weren’t for a chance lunch cancellation, Absolutely might never have made it to the screen.

Featuring a special interview with Jack and other key people from throughout his career.
