00:00Mark, this is your best at Glasgow. What's your favourite Glasgow restaurant?

00:04Oh, there's a lot of choice, isn't there, man? So we're talking about...

00:08I like the... Oh, I tell you, I like Anarkali and Vicky Road.

00:12It's a good spot, and it's very old-school, right?

00:14Old-school Indian, take you back. It does.

00:16Take you back to your youth.

00:17Can I get transported back to the 70s or 80s when you go in there?

00:20Magic.

00:21And the service is great as well. It is.

00:23It's a good spot at the top of Vicky Road, and it's kind of...

00:25It's obviously an area that's changing a bit.

00:27It is, but it's still standing there, still standing proud.

00:31But a few other old Southside institutions.

00:34Yeah.

00:35Your favourite Glasgow pub?

00:37The Griffin, across to the Kings.

00:39Yep. They've been in there, probably been doing shows.

00:41Been doing shows across the road, aye, it was always a sport.

00:44Yep, Griffin, I would say.

00:46Yep, it's a good old classic pub.

00:48Classic, yep.

01:01Favourite Glasgow venue?

01:03I was out seeing a boy, Michael McGovern, Scottish singer-songwriter the other night.

01:08Sensational, up at the Glad Cafe.

01:10Cool.

01:11Very small venue at the back.

01:13And Pollockshaws Road, I think that is.

01:14Pollockshaws Road, across to the park.

01:16I like the Glad Cafe.

01:17Your favourite Glasgow building?

01:19I like that big tower we used to hang for at the Tron Gate.

01:22Oh, there's a ton of buildings in Glasgow, isn't there?

01:24Beautiful.

01:25You know, and I do like things like the theatres as well.

01:28I always liked the building where the cinema used to be in Renfield Street.

01:31Mm-hmm.

01:32Apollo?

01:33No, the one down, what's the one that's in the corner?

01:35The podium.

01:36There's so many, many beautiful buildings in Glasgow.

01:38Nelson Mandela Square, all in a bit there.

01:40Aye.

01:41But I would need to go for the Tron Theatre, because I like the Tron Theatre building.

01:45Your favourite Glasgow band or artist, or you can see a couple here by the way.

01:48My favourite moment, Michael McGovern.

01:52Sensational.

01:53I mean, his band.

01:54Really, really like him.

01:56Him at the moment, yeah.

01:57Any kind of bands of that you used to go and see when I was younger?

02:00Bands I used to go and see, yeah.

02:01I used to go and see, back in the day, Hipsway.

02:03Right.

02:04I loved the Hue and Cry.

02:05Mm-hmm.

02:06Lloyd Colnick Emotions, although he was up here.

02:08No, they're formed in Glasgow.

02:09Formed in Glasgow.

02:10They went to uni at Glasgow, didn't they?

02:12And there's so, so, so many bands, isn't there, here as well?

02:16Yeah.

02:17Fratellis.

02:18Lastly, Mark, your Glasgow Hugo.

02:20Tough, you're in it.

02:22But I've always had a thing for old Charles Renny McIntosh.

02:25Design the buildings, his moustache.

02:28The building.

02:29You think you could grow one like that?

02:30No.

02:31No.

02:32I'm secure that I couldnae grow that.

02:33Right.

02:34But aye, he's always been on my mind.

02:36Charles Renny McIntosh.

02:37Love it.

02:38Come back.

02:47and we got the head off by the big one.

02:48I was already dead.

02:49Yes, let me see.

02:51Eh?

02:52No, no, I didn't mean to go back.

02:54No, I'd be like?"

02:55I'm sorry.

02:56That became the best of the man who's calledệtan to get out the power,

02:57and plays that, but I..

02:59have to give you an effort.

03:00Maybe, I mean, it's a day.

03:01That little HUGE led thatил ich today,

03:02and never knew of being ignored.

03:03So I'm getting further on my mind.
