City Lights is a Scottish television sitcom made by BBC Scotland and set in Glasgow . It ran from 1984 to 1991 (networked 1987 to 1991) and was written by Bob Black. Two stage shows, featuring the original cast, toured Scotland. [1]

It starred Gerard Kelly as Willie Melvin, a bank-teller at the fictional Strathclyde Savings Bank (whose logo was very similar to the TSB ), with dreams of becoming a novelist. Most of the plots revolved around his attempts to get his book, the autobiographical My Childhood Up A Close , published.

He was held back in this by his own incompetence, the dodgy dealings of his best friend Chancer ( Andy Gray ), and the lack of support he gained from his mother (Jan Wilson), the bank's manager Adam McLelland ( Dave Anderson ) and his obsequious fellow teller, Brian ( Jonathan Watson ). Other recurring characters included Chancer's friend Tam ( Iain McColl ) and Willie's love interests , Janice (Elaine Collins, Series 1 and 2) and Fiona ( Ann Bryson , Series 4 and 5).

Billy Connolly guest-starred in one episode.
