Fame Academy

[Phil Wright]

I was dead chuffed last night to turn on our latest 'Comic Relief' Celebrity Fame Academy. We have a presenter (very hands on) called Nick Nulty who does a home repair programme. He was singing (trying) but had decided to don his kilt & a brown sporran. Haven't checked his tartan out yet but it was quite smart - green and rust. He seemed an unlikely person to wear a kilt, and a high profile programme over here so it was even more pleasing to see it on peak time TV. Even my wife thought it looked good More power to the cause

I saw the show too, Phil, but only after being advised of Nick's kilt wearing in an urgent 'phone call from Dave W. It's not really my sort of programme. Oh, and it's Nick Knowles, by the way. One of the 'blokiest' blokes on our TV. He said he was wearing the kilt because a friend of his, in Aberdeen, had told him he would get his vote if he did! Actually, he looked fantastic, wore it well and was completely at ease and comfortable in it. I too would like to identify the tartan, which was not symetrical. The colours were gorgeous - a touch of Buchanan, Ancient Colours!

Here are two 'snaps' I quickly took of the TV screen. Can anyone identify the tartan? Matt? Todd?

It appears to be Burhcanan, either ancient or weathered colours, Hamish -- I would agree with your call -- Matt, what say you?

Cheers,

Todd

Oops! The wrong name - well I called down to my wife and that's what she came up with! Apologies to him for mis-representation. Anyway, it was great to see him in his kilt but damned annoying that all three judges commented on his 'skirt'; - but there are already enough threads going on that one
