Anecdotes
There was a real "Ice Cream War" in Glasgow in 1984, and it led to murders within the city. It was really a drug-land turf war by gangs who used ice cream vans as a front. Writers Douglas Skelton and Lisa Brownlie cover the story in their 1992 book "Frightener". The deaths of van-driver Andrew Boyle (who had resisted being involved in drug dealing) and his family happened in April 1984, four months before "Comfort and Joy" was released, and, as star Bill Paterson acknowledges, this had an impact on the film's reception: "It wasn't a great time to launch a light-hearted look at the ice-cream business in Glasgow."

Gaffes
You see Dickie arriving at the radio station at around 6am. The film is set at Christmas time in Glasgow, so at that time of year the sunrise is about 9am. Yet we can see the city skyline through the window and not just a dark view.

Citations
Hilary: Alan, you have not been yourself lately.
Alan: That's just the point. I wasn't myself before when you thought I was myself, but now I am myself, or very nearly.

Ice cream fritters.

Getting involved in a turf war with rival ice cream companies seems to be a good way to get over your kleptomaniac girlfriend dumping you. A decent Forsyth flick that feels comfortable and charming but undoubtedly less engaging than previous works.

That Mr Bunny ice cream jingle will haunt my dreams forever.
