Magrit, Dolly, Doreen and Mrs Culfeathers are the lifeblood of their Glasgow community - a community of men and women from the shops, shipyards, bookies and street corners, whose wonderful sense of humour was honed by the grind of day-to-day living. As we meet the women's husbands, their families and their friends, a unique study unfolds of a humanity that can laugh at itself, take responsibility for its shortcomings and soon weeds out the chancers from the good guys.
