Rab C. Nesbitt Sezon 10 Odcinek 4: Fight

When the Drop-In Centre where Rab holds his self-help group meetings becomes a victim of council cuts, Rab decides to fight back. Granted time on local radio his impassioned appeal fails to raise any support - mainly because 90% of it has to be bleeped out. An encounter with Council leader Simon Bird (Hamish Clark, Monarch of the Glen) proves pointless so Rab feels it’s time for a grand public gesture. He decides to burn himself at the stake. One white dress and a pudding bowl haircut later and he’s Govan’s answer to Joan of Arc – ‘Rab of Arc, Maid of Govan.’ Mary, meanwhile, is considering having an affair with one of her cleaning clients but while she is about to get her fingers burnt, Rab is about to get his everything burnt. Empathising with the dignity and seriousness of Rab’s protest, Jamesie organizes ‘Rab of Arc’ mugs and teeshirts and even some cheerleaders to dance and whoop as Rab goes up in flames. In the end Rab is saved when it becomes a case of ‘the jakey’s not for burning’, Mary’s new flame finds his ardour savagely snuffed out and the Drop-In Centre is fired up again by money from a most unlikely source.
