:17:10. > :17:15.have had one lately, just not in the past... I think we will win, 2-1
:17:16. > :17:20.Hibs, probably. I think Hibs will do it tonight. Play well, no reason why
:17:21. > :17:25.we cannot do it. Same as last season, two in a row. After the
:17:26. > :17:34.result at Tynecastle, easy. The pitch was bad and stuff. Is dad
:17:35. > :17:40.confident? Very confident, aye, definitely. Jason Cummings
:17:41. > :17:45.hat-trick, definitely, bring it on. The Hibs fans, as you can see,
:17:46. > :17:48.pretty confident. What about Hearts? You to discuss their chances, the
:17:49. > :17:56.radio Scotland pundit and former Hearts Clare Allan Preston. Who are
:17:57. > :17:59.radio Scotland pundit and former the favourites? According to the
:18:00. > :18:02.bookmakers, they will tell you different. I think Hibs, home
:18:03. > :18:07.advantage, a decent result away at Tynecastle, so they will fancy their
:18:08. > :18:12.chances. As I said earlier, not a great spectacle ten days ago. It
:18:13. > :18:19.cannot be any worse tonight? That is right, very poor can cancel, little
:18:20. > :18:22.chances created by either side. -- very poor at paying cancel. It could
:18:23. > :18:27.chances created by either side. -- go to penalties. I have heard it's
:18:28. > :18:34.said this could mean more to one side and the other. Do you buy that?
:18:35. > :18:37.No, it means a much to both. Hibs have the trophy and Hearts will want
:18:38. > :18:44.to take it off them, and if they don't start that tonight, you're
:18:45. > :18:50.not. Allen is off to join our BBC Radio Scotland colleagues. We have
:18:51. > :18:54.the game live this evening. Kick-off is at 7:45pm. Thank you, Chris.
:18:55. > :18:55.Rikki Fulton's comic creation, the Reverend I.M.
:18:56. > :18:57.Jolly, is making a comeback on the stage.
:18:58. > :19:00.Actors Johnny Mac and Liam Dolan have been touring a tribute show
:19:01. > :19:03.to Francie and Josie, the double act Rikki Fulton performed
:19:04. > :19:07.Now they are adding in Scotland's dourest minister.
:19:08. > :19:10.Aileen Clarke looked in on rehearsals.
:19:11. > :19:27.Hello... LAUGHTER
:19:28. > :19:34.My name is Jolly, spelt M-O-R-B-I-D. LAUGHTER
:19:35. > :19:40.His performance closely studied to produce the do list of ministers.
:19:41. > :20:01.What kind of B have you had? Has it been negative, downtrodden? Are ye
:20:02. > :20:04.dancin'? Are ye askin'? I'm asking. To betray him doing that character
:20:05. > :20:07.is really what I am trying to get across and keep that memory alive so
:20:08. > :20:13.that when people come to watch as they say, yes, you did use to do
:20:14. > :20:19.that. Well... That is another year gone. The permission to perform
:20:20. > :20:27.these sketches, though, came from an unusual quarter. We found out that
:20:28. > :20:30.RSPCA were left the rights to the Reverend I M Jolly's sketches by
:20:31. > :20:36.Rikki Fulton. We had to ask them for the rights to perform it. What do
:20:37. > :20:38.they think? They loved it, from the first contact they were over the
:20:39. > :20:42.moon, delighted it was being portrayed again and picked up and of
:20:43. > :20:52.course that it would benefit that RSPCA. There is still some vintage
:20:53. > :20:57.Francie and Josie in the new shorter. What did you think of the
:20:58. > :21:03.school? I hated it, the worst four days of my life. It might make it be
:21:04. > :21:22.time for the return of supercop next? Naw, you listen, pal. This is
:21:23. > :21:34.d your dealin' wi. LAUGHTER
:21:35. > :21:36.-- This is the polis you're dealin' wi.
:21:37. > :21:40.Well, as we've been hearing, Storm Doris is expected to cause
:21:41. > :21:43.Well, the front edge of the weather system has already reached
:21:44. > :21:46.the Northern Isles as these dramatic pictures taken this
:21:47. > :21:50.To give you some idea of the scale, the cliffs you can see are up
:21:51. > :21:55.That is Christopher's Q. Good afternoon. A pleasant afternoon for
:21:56. > :21:57.many, blue skies coming in from our weather watchers. But into the next
:21:58. > :21:59.few hours our attention turns to something altogether more wintry.
:22:00. > :22:02.Rain pushing and at first across the South West, quite heavy for attained
:22:03. > :22:05.through Dumfries and Galloway and perhaps localised flooding. All
:22:06. > :22:16.connected to a deep area of low pressure, which is Storm Doris
:22:17. > :22:21.working its way across the country tonight. And Amber be prepared
:22:22. > :22:27.warning, for the star making its way across the borders, Lanarkshire, and
:22:28. > :22:30.the central area generally. A yellow warning for is around that
:22:31. > :22:33.stretching as far north as the central highlands, so tomorrow
:22:34. > :22:35.morning for central and southern Scotland we are likely to see
:22:36. > :22:41.significant disruption with a combination of rain and snow. Down
:22:42. > :22:44.at sea level, a centimetre or two but giving any elevation we could
:22:45. > :22:48.well see tens of centimetres of snow. High parts of the roads
:22:49. > :22:58.highlighted here, we could well see some destruction, and it would be a
:22:59. > :23:02.really wintry morning for many. Up in Aberdeenshire and parts of
:23:03. > :23:08.Murray, drier but still rain and it is similar for the far north.
:23:09. > :23:12.Hebridean areas, some went there and rain but are the I'll is sitting
:23:13. > :23:17.pretty relatively. That system then slowly pulling away but it will take
:23:18. > :23:23.a while -- the Northern Isles are sitting quite pretty. In terms of
:23:24. > :23:27.temperatures, five or six Celsius at best but with any snow on the ground
:23:28. > :23:30.in the south-east, it will be quite cold. Through the rest of the
:23:31. > :23:33.afternoon into the evening, a weather front in the West with
:23:34. > :23:36.sherry outbreaks of rain, windy around the West Coast as well and
:23:37. > :23:44.that it is in overnight Thursday into Friday. Again, wintry on the
:23:45. > :23:48.high ground -- showery bricks. A ridge of high pressure replacing
:23:49. > :23:50.this and Friday is much better, drier and brighter with some
:23:51. > :23:54.sunshine, but towards the afternoon there will be some further outbreaks
:23:55. > :23:59.of rain arriving from the Atlantic. Temperatures back to where they
:24:00. > :24:03.should be, six, seven, perhaps eight Celsius. To recap, the warning areas
:24:04. > :24:07.for tomorrow morning, that will be the amber alias you can see there,
:24:08. > :24:13.significant disruption from that snow, difficult driving conditions
:24:14. > :24:15.also in law areas, not just the high parts -- the amber areas. Thank you,
:24:16. > :24:18.Chris. Now, a reminder of
:24:19. > :24:19.tonight's main news: The BBC has announced plans
:24:20. > :24:22.to launch a new dedicated TV ?30 million a year will be
:24:23. > :24:25.invested in the project with the service expected to start
:24:26. > :24:28.in Autumn 2018. It will include a news hour at 9
:24:29. > :24:31.o'clock after the BBC rejected the idea of a so-called

:24:37. > :24:38.of murdering her and dumping her body in a cesspit
:24:39. > :24:47.under their garage in Hertfordshire. Ian Stewart drugged
:24:48. > :24:49.Ms Bailey over several weeks before smothering her in April last
:24:50. > :24:52.year in the hope of claiming Our next main bulletin is just
:24:53. > :24:56.after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from everyone
:24:57. > :25:01.on the team, good evening.
