Fulton continued to perform regularly in pantomime and in straight theatre, mostly notably with the Royal Lyceum Company in Edinburgh and the Scottish Theatre Company based in Glasgow. However, it was the comedy sketch show, "Scotch and Wry", that became a Hogmanay institution. The series featured one of Fulton's most remembered characters, the Reverend I.M. Jolly, a dour, depressed minister prone to inappropriate television conversations. The series began in 1978 and continued for 15 years, and was shown only once throughout the United Kingdom in 1983. Fulton was named Scottish Television Personality of the Year in 1963 and 1979.
