So sad to hear the news of the passing of Robbie Coltrane, what an actor, such a presence, even the very mention of his name brings a smile to our lips. Oh how he entertained us. So many highlights, for me Tutti Frutti the John Byrne drama made by BBC Scotland cannot be surpassed

My 1st attempt to create a short video with some bedbound "dancing". My filming & editing skills are very much beginners level & obviously I can't really move. It was fun though, esp. since I've not been able to create anything for a couple of years. youtube.com/watch?v=ybbsxO .
