Kevin Bridges has a few questions before he makes his mind up on Thursday.

So do plenty of others but they might be afraid to ask them. That's what the No campaign are fond of saying: people are fearful of speaking up incase Yes supporters shout them down - or even 'jostle' them. That was an issue on Scotland 2014 tonight: jostling incidents. How serious are these jostlings? Are they aggravated jostlings? Or are they typically British incidents where the jostler immediately apologises only to be told by the jostlee that no, no, it was their fault entirely. Watching footage of the weekend's Yes rally on Buchanan Street I wondered how an innocent No voter could possibly cross from Topshop to Sainsbury's without being jostled, but it needn't automatically mean malice is afoot.

Sarah Smith quizzed the two Blairs on whether the campaign, as it enters the final stretch, has become bad-tempered and aggressive. Pictures of graffiti were shown. Stickers had been stuck where stickers ought not to be. Stickers, pencil scrawls and jostling: if this is the height of ill-temper in this campaign then we should congratulate ourselves on how civilised and decent we are.

Police Scotland, who should know a thing or two about aggression, said the campaign has been mainly good-natured but Yes will always moan that No are nasty and No will moan the same. It's in the interests of both sides to portray ill-will from the other.

In the midst of the supposed bad temper comes Kevin Bridges, a man who is universally loved in Scotland and who always seems pleasant and chirpy, subverting the belief that comedians are really tortured, dark souls - though who knows?

But we're not here to psychoanalyse the bold Kev. His programme, Kevin Bridges: What's the Story? (BBC1) was here to make us laugh, throw a different light on the well-worn debates and perhaps prod a few thoughts.

The show combined stand-up from Bridges with him going around Scotland to interview his family ('youse'), friends and people on the street.

I'll admit it was a terrible disappointment to see the stand-up footage was mainly lifted from his Referendum gig which was shown on the BBC last week. There was no new material, but he's sufficiently brilliant that a bit of repetition here and there doesn't dim his act.

He sat down with his mum and dad to discuss whether he achieved independence when he left home. His mum rubbished that idea as he still went back when he was hungry or needed his socks washed, so it was agreed he had opted for devolution instead. The sly implication here was that devolution is the option of the big wean. Grow up and stop sneaking back to mum's for your dinner!

Kevin then went to visit members of the Scottish Youth Parliament. This phrase conjured images of unbearable teenagers, little goody-two-shoes like Horace from The Broons perhaps? They all sat on the grass outside Holyrood with Kevin and seemed confident and keen. No tank tops or specs in sight.

Speaking to Billy Bragg in Inverness he asked why he was so passionate about the debate when he has no vote? It has ramifications for all of us, insisted Bragg, saying England should watch to see 'what a modern, confident, post-imperial country looks like.' A Yes vote could spur England on to a new vocal democracy and 'instead of the Auld Enemy we might become the new mate'. This segment was well-chosen as many would pretend that a Yes vote means a sour turning-away from our neighbours.

Under the trees at a peace camp in Faslane Kevin asked the activists if they'd be 'anarchists…putting cock and balls on the ballot paper', but they said no. They recognised the real chance to get rid of the poison of Trident and won't be hippy rebels on polling day, but sombre citizens casting their vote with a sensible, determined cross. Interestingly, one of them said that, in the event of a Yes vote, there'd be no point in just shoving the nukes south. The problem can't simply be pushed onto the residents of Plymouth, for example. This neatly linked to Billy Bragg's point that there is a connection and a solidarity with England and independence will not mean we're turning our back on them, or on anyone. The same people campaigning to free Scotland from nuclear weapons will simply start campaigning to free England.

Sitting round the kitchen table, in the pub, lounging on the grass, or sailing down the Clyde with his pals (one of whom must be called 'Wee Mental Davy') Kevin Bridges punctured all the pomposity and self-importance and bluster of the campaign. He mocked it all but, beneath the jokes and the slang, he was still asking questions, drawing answers and provoking debate, and all done without a shred of ill-will, tedium or arrogance.
