Episode 6 of 6

Comedy featuring Scotland's string-vested, beer-guzzling sage. The new minister at Rab's church arrives with two serious drawbacks - she is female and English.

The new Minister at Rab's church arrives with two serious drawbacks for a Govan minister - she is female and English. Worse still she arrives just as Rab's Christianity has been severely tested. He has been led into temptation by coveting his best pal's bottle of tonic wine.

At the first service they do not make a good impression on one another with the minister trying to stand up for Christian values and Rab simply trying to stand up. The forgiving minister welcomes Rab back as long as he spends the next three Sundays sitting on the cutty stool. Rab refuses and, after a night of drunken revelry, falls asleep in a makeshift tent in the church graveyard. In a dream his bad conscience pops up to tempt him into another drink, Rab appeals to his good conscience - only to find it has gone bad and also tries to tempt him back to drink.

As Rab comes out of the tent, the minister comes out of the closet, and both find themselves ostracised by the unforgiving traditionalists in the congregation. Felicity Montagu stars as the Minister while rock and pop icon Shane McGowan makes a surprise appearance as Rab's 'good conscience gone bad'.
