Snoddy was a six-part Scottish television sitcom, written and created by Johnny Crawford, that first broadcast on BBC One Scotland on 13 March 2002.[1] The series, which aired at 10:35pm on Wednesdays, starred Gregor Fisher of Rab C Nesbitt fame as DCI Samuel J. Snoddy, the head of Scotland's Elite Crime Squad, who is obsessed with spending more time playing golf abroad rather than fighting crimes.[2]
Only a single series of six episodes was broadcast, and the series was never shown outside of Scotland.[2] The series was regarded as unsuccessful and was axed by BBC bosses following poor ratings.[citation needed] The series was heavily promoted in and around the Glasgow area, with a number of billboard posters portraying the tagline "it's a Hotel Oscar Oscar Tango of a show” being put up around the city.[3] Notably, the series has never been made available on DVD.
