    Without any help at all from "Mr. Bridger", the Italian chip shops and ice cream vans of Glasgow are being smashed up. It's only because he takes a bit of a shine to one of the girls in the van that local radio personality "Alan" (Bill Peterson) witnesses one of the assaults and decides that he must do something to ensure peace breaks out. There really were "ice cream wars" in Glasgow so this engaging comedy has it's roots in fact as he tries to get the warring "Mr. Cool" (Robert Bernardi) and "Mr. Bunny" (Alex Norton) round the wafer table before his new soft-top BMW becomes little more than a bright red ashtray. He starts to use his radio show to convey illicit messages that just come across as gobbledegook to his station boss "Hilary" (Rikki Fulton) and soon his own career is starting to look like it might be melting too. The solution. Well anyone who's ever been to the city will know that we fry everything - even Mars bars! Patterson is on good form here, and his amiable delivery quite subtly takes an entertaining ping at the mundanity of commercial radio and it's banal advertising whilst touching on then ridiculing what was quite a serious issue at the time. Rikki Fulton has expert comedy timing and facial expressions that deliver what a thousand words never could. "Has he got a sanity clause"? Well it is the winter. Well worth a watch.
