There were two brothers from Scotland. They went into the transportation industry, taking people between Glasgow and nearby small towns.

The business went very well, until one day there was a tragic accident. One of the brothers broke his neck.

There used to be two shows aired simultaneously: AFHV and AFP.
My wife kept getting them confused and calling them America's Funniest Home People. So it stuck.
