History Radio / HamishAndDougal

''Hamish and Dougal'' (in full, ''You'll Have Had Your Tea: The Doings of Hamish and Dougal'', but even the BBC usually refers to it by the shorter title) is a BBC radio SitCom SpinOff from the PanelGame ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue''. Graeme Garden and Barry Cryer had created the characters for the round "Sound Charades", allowing them to blether nonsense in cod-Scottish accents for a couple of minutes, while leading inexorably to an IncrediblyLamePun of the title they were supposed to be providing a clue for, each sketch essentially taking the form of a {{Feghoot}}.

The quarter-hour episodes had a bit more structure to them, but still were basically vehicles for {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s and {{Double Entendre}}s. Graeme has said that the main change was that they had to decide once and for all who was Hamish (Barry) and who was Dougal (Graeme). They were given a supporting cast; local landowner the Laird (Jeremy Hardy) and housekeeper Mrs Naughtie (Alison Steadman). Other characters (such as Big Tam at the video shop) were frequently mentioned but rarely appeared, except Mrs [=McAlistair=] the postmistress ([[ActingForTwo Alison Steadman]]).

* CourtroomAntic: Parodied in "The Poison-Pen Letters":
-->'''The Laird''': You're turning this courtroom into a circus! Get off that trapeze and call a proper witness!

* CordonBleughChef: Mrs Naughtie's ersatz haggis is made by putting dog food in condoms. According to Hamish and Dougal, it tastes better than actual haggis -- though that still doesn't mean it tastes good.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "[=McCoist of That Ilk=]" means the same as "[=McCoist=] of [=McCoist=]", so there's no need for the Laird's name to contain both. Unless he's actually [[OverlyLongName The [=McCoist=] of [=McCoist=] of [=McCoist=] of [=McCoist=]]].

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: The opening music is a pipe version of the Rondo from Mozart's 4th Horn Concerto.

* TitleConfusion: The announcer calls it ''You'll Have Had Your Tea: The Doings of Hamish and Dougal''. The BBC website calls it ''Hamish And Dougal'' or ''Hamish and Dougal: You'll Have Had Your Tea'' (the Radio 4 Extra Comedy A-Z lists both separately) and the CD covers say either ''Hamish And Dougal: The hilarous spin-off from Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'' or ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue: The Doings of Hamish and Dougal''.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Laird, whose full name is eventually revealed as The [=McCoist=] of [=McCoist=] of That Ilk.

-->'''Hamish''': ''[[JesusChristSuperstar Superstar!]]'' Aye, that was one of yours.

* ClipShow: Parodied in "Trapped!" Hamish reminisces about the events of the previous episode, because that's what you do when you're trapped somewhere. Dougal doesn't quite get the concept, becoming confused as to which of him is when halfway through a line from the clip, and then remembering a scene from ''{{Friends}}'' instead.

-->'''The Laird''': But Dougal, have you never played gold?
