81 Take 2 was a sketch-based review of 1981, produced by BBC Scotland for the BBC-1 network and broadcast on Hogmanay from 23:20–23:55. The cast of four main performers were all Scots — John Bett, Celia Imrie, Robbie Coltrane, and Ron Bain.

Eric Sykes gives a tongue-in-cheek account of his follies and fortunes as an actor, gag writer and comedian in a long and successful career in the theatre, on radio and television. He pays tribute to his friends in showbusiness and in particular to Hattie Jacques, Richard Wattis and the team of his long-running Sykes series. With special guests Eddie Lester, John Evans and Tony Hayes.
