Dylan Blore is quite good in this daft depiction of a young lad who, from an early age, is diagnosed with "acute misfortune syndrome". Basically, this means that if it can go wrong for him, or those around him, it will. He is very aptly nick-named. His parents struggle to deal with this with his dad (Mark Bonnar) ending up doing a bunk. Only later does he reappear and whilst trying to do a bit of damage limitation on his absentee relationship, accidentally might just find a lucrative use for the accident-prone "James". It's borderline slap-stick at times, does play a little to Scottish stereotype and you'll never remember watching it afterwards, but it does raise a smile.
