	Rikki Fulton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rikki Fulton OBE (April 15, 1924 - January 27, 2004), was a Scottish comedy actor best remembered for the character of Reverend IM Jolly in his long-running television show Scotch and Wry.
		Robert Kerr Fulton was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and served in the Navy during WW2, along with a stint in the shipping agency.
		Rikki's character the "Reverend I M Jolly" was a hilarious but affectionate characture of a certain type of Church of Scotland minister; Rikki Fulton himself was an elder in the Church of Scotland, at New Kilpatrick Parish Church, Bearsden, near Glasgow.

	News: Rikki Fulton dies
		Fulton was best-known for his role in Scotch And Wry - a Hogmanay sketch show rarely seen south of the border, but was an institution which ran for 14 years in Scotland.
		Before Scotch and Wry, Fulton was famous, at least in Scotland, for his role as a cocky Glaswedian wideboy in the double-act Francie and Josie - with Jack Milroy as Franci.
		Rikki had not been able to talk for the last couple of days but he was always a great kisser and had not lost that talent when he kissed me goodbye."

	Guardian \| Rikki Fulton
		Rikki Fulton, the accomplished Scottish actor and comedian whose television programmes became an essential part of the Hogmanay ritual, has died at the age of 79.
		Fulton's greatest Scotch And Wry creation was undoubtedly the Rev IM Jolly, a Church of Scotland cleric whose epilogues were delivered with melancholic mien and in lugubrious tones that struck a deep resonance in the Presbyterian soul.
		Fulton was Josie, the would-be intellectual of the two, but whose communicative skills were blunted by malapropism and general mangling of the English and Scottish languages.

	Significant Scots - Rikki Fulton
		Later in Fulton’s career came Scotch and Wry, which was no less successful - it lasted 18 glorious years - and featured a host of comic characters, ranging from the bungling Supercop to the mournful Rev IM Jolly, who developed into a national icon.
		Fulton also made several film appearances - he was in Gorky Park, Local Hero and Comfort and Joy - and had guest TV appearances in Rab C Nesbitt and the Para Handy stories.
		Rikki Fulton was a natural comic, who had a magical ability to capture real-life characters with a deft and sympathetic accuracy.

		Although I barely knew Rikki Fulton except from the TV sofa and the theatre and cinema stalls, barring a couple of casual meetings in the line of journalism, those two brief encounters fully confirmed his reputation as the nicest man in Scottish show business.
		Fulton, contrariwise, had climbed from a lower-middle-class background (his father was a stationer and newsagent) and a state-school education to a wartime commission in the Navy (his ship, HMS Ibis, was sunk under him), and presumably saw nothing wrong with speaking in a voice that was pleasant, comprehensible and his own.
		Scotch and Wry, the long-running before-the-bells show on BBC Scotland, made Fulton a mainstream popular figure again quite late in his life and career, when he was becoming a name that one’s parents remembered from long-extinct stage revues, or that received respectful notices for his forays into legitimate theatre with Scots translations of Moliere.
