JANEY Godley teamed up with Scotland’s First Minister to record a comedy sketch for the STV Children’s Appeal.
The comedian’s voice-overs of Nicola Sturgeon’s daily briefings have been hugely popular on social media this year, bringing in hundreds of thousands of views.
The pair worked together to produce a one-off skit to raise cash for charity, in which the First Minister appears to address the nation and call for support for the Children’s Appeal.

But of course Godley is the one speaking as “Nicola” tells people: “At the end of the day, we’re trying to make some money for the weans – the wee yins need a wee haun oot.
“So if you’ve got a bit of spare cash – maybe Big Jeanette’s tanned the Pippa Dee and Stevie’s managed tae scam aff the menage – just get the money in tae the STV Children’s Appeal.”
The sketch, which was recorded last month, finishes with the famous “Frank, get the door!” catchphrase – but there’s a twist this time.
The clip aired as part of STV’s Children’s Appeal last night. The appeal raises cash for vulnerable children and young people across Scotland.
As well as featuring music from Biffy Clyro and stories from “community heroes” across Scotland, the programme showed a series of films exploring the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health, food and fuel poverty.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
