Julie Goodyear, most famous for playing Bet Lynch in Coronation Street (1960), spoke of her love for this sketch show in her 2007 autobiography "Just Julie". Goodyear stated:
"[...] in 2003 I did a comedy sketch programme for BBC Scotland called Revolver. I had a wonderful producer called Gary Chippington and worked very closely with Melvyn Hayes who's a fantastic comedy actor. It was filmed on location in Glasgow and I played eighteen different characters, which for an actress is like giving a kid a bag of toffees.
When you've played one character for as long as I did, to be given that kind of opportunity was heaven. And all eighteen were a long way from Bet - like a meths-drinking old tramp on the docks; an agoraphobic; a pathologist; Hettie at the National Trust; and Joyce who ran a brothel with a stair-lift! I thought Revolver was a quality show and really hoped that it would be recommissioned. But sadly that wasn't to be, as so often happens."
