"The Baldy Man" was a character played by Gregor Fisher, a Scots comedian. His chief attribute was his comb over hairstyle as well as his bumbling nature and plump figure. The series achieved respectable viewing figures but was not as successful as "Mr. Bean". The show is not currently available on DVD.

He first appeared in a series of sketches in the BBC Scotland show "Naked Video". [http://www.sitcom.co.uk/sitcoms/baldy_man.shtml The Baldy Man at The British Sitcom Guide] ]
