What happens
The Baldy Man is a television series starring Gregor Fisher, a Scottish comedian. It was broadcast in two series totalling thirteen episodes on ITV, screening in 1995 and 1998, and produced for Carlton Television by Working Title Films. Both series were also broadcast in full on Russian channel TB6 Moscow. The character's chief attributes were his comb over hairstyle as well as his bumbling nature and plump figure. The series was produced and directed by Colin Gilbert who worked with Fisher in Scotland's well known situation comedy Rab C. Nesbitt among many others. It was written by Philip Differ who was the script editor on Naked Video. The character first appeared in a series of sketches in the BBC Scotland show Naked Video (1986–1991), as well as in a memorable TV commercial for Hamlet cigars. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
