Declassify Boabby The Barman’s porn tape

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Jonathan Rainey

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation, especially for BBC Scotland,

On 26th June 2006, BBC Scotland aired an episode of the sitcom Still Game in it’s 5th series called “Fresh Lick” (The 2nd episode of series 5) which showed the Male residents of Craiglang finding out about a porn tape made many years ago by Boabby The Barman (played by Gavin Mitchell) as did, as it turned out, the women of Craiglang. Since 2.48 million people tuned in to watch the episode in 2006 and many people, especially in Scotland, look up to and greatly respect the sitcom since it came to an end earlier this year, can BBC Scotland please fully declassify and allow (albeit obvious age-restricted) public viewing of the very porn tape featuring Boabby The Barman that was partially seen in the mentioned episode?

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Rainey
