Gosh meesha, that brings back memories. The jaunty theme tune and the acted-out scenarios.
We used to sit down with our Gaelic books and try to learn along with the programmes.
Excuse my phonetics (I forgot the real spelling, but I remember phases like):-
Person 1 “Jay a jeeanuv ?” (What are you doing ?)
Person 2 “Ha mee geery” (I am working !)
Or
“Ha flooch an jaw” (It’s raining today)
“Ha fooar an jaw” (It’s cold today)
“Ha snyachk an jaw” (It’s snowing today)
I remember Norman MacLean, the Mod Gold-Medallist, was one of the presenters. He had a humorous side. I remember as a teenager, our family ceilidh band played on the same bill as Norman on several occasions in Edinburgh (eg Edinburgh Argyll Association, whose president was Bob Shiach)
