The High Life (1994–1995)
8/10
Hilariously camp Scottish sitcom about the daily adventures of an air crew on a small air flight company: Novia Scotia. Very, very funny, but only one season was made.

The pairing of Cumming and Masson as the camp flight attendants is pure gold. They bounce off each other with a mix of childish puns and sexual innuendos to create the silliness which is far more lovable than cringe. Other characters such as Patrick Ryecart's pilot, and Siobhan Redmond's chief flight attendant add substantial enough depth to fill in the plot but really the main attraction are Cumming and Masson. Use of Scots is constant throughout, and though it may appeal more-so to a Scottish audience, that shouldn't put any other viewer off checking it out. Half soft slapstick/half genuinely funny writing make this 'wee gem' unique, similar (if not perhaps more Jack from Will and Grace) to the humour of Still Game. Well worth a shot.
