在这部"Rab C. Nesbitt" Seasonal Greet (1988)片中,Description: It's Chirstmas in the Nesbitt household but Rab can't see why he should celebrate the festive period, but Mary want to enjoy Chirstmas, which means war. Rab is trying to fiddle a giro out of the D.H.S.S by making out that Gash has ringworm and that Burney has TB, needless to say that he has no joy, well what would you expect?, it's Christmas. Rab is also horrified to learn that Jamesie is working as Santa Claus at a Govan Department store, Rab ends up in jail for causing a disturbance and is put on hunger strike which makes him have hallucinations. He isn't five minutes out of jail and he has already caused a dispute in his house by throwing Mary's dinner out of the window as she hasn't cooked his dinner.
To Hard-drinking Govan resident Rab C. Nesbitt, there is no magic to Christmas when you have no money and he cannot share his long-suffering wife Mary or teenage sons Burney and Gash's enthusiasm for the festive season, preferring instead to comment cynically to camera on its commercial trappings. The ultimate betrayal is seeing neighbour and best friend Jamesie Cotter working as a department store Santa, which leads to a fight and a spell in gaol for Rab. True he gets home in time for Christmas but finds the atmosphere so cheerless he prefers to go back inside for the holiday.
