- Audio commentray with Bill Forsyth and producer Clive Parsons
Shown at the 1984 Cannes Film festival and BAFTA nominated for best original screenplay, 'Comfort and Joy' is 'a war about wafers'!
Alan 'Dicky' Bird thinks he has a pretty good life. He's Glasgow's top DJ, with a nice apartment and girlfriend Maddy. However, when Maddy decides to leave him, Alan suddenly realises how much she was a part of his life. On a friend's advice he decides to start afresh and try to find another girlfriend. After following a beautiful girl into the suburbs, he stumbles into a furious dispute between two rival Italian ice-cream families. Caught in the middle and looking to take his life more seriously, he embarks on settling the feud.

When DJ Alan Bird (the great Bill Paterson) is dumped by his shoplifting girlfriend at Christmas he follows an ice cream van and is drawn into a war between ice cream companies. Beautifully observed and leisurely paced with a winning performance from Patterson and a fine eye for character and detail from director Bill Forsyth (Gregory's Girl and Local Hero)
