Burnistoun
This is the first new Scottish comedy that I've seen in years that's made me properly laugh. It's not far off an updated version of Chewin The Fat.
episode 2 added. I didn't think it was as funny, but there were still a good few proper laughs. My favourite was probably the graffiti sketch.
Agreed, I didn't like the first ice cream van sketch but this weeks made me laugh (the ashes). I think my favourites have been the bottle of ginga and the lift. Have you watched the pilot? A few real good laughs in that.
In reference to squareeyes and faceless comment that it wasnt as goos as Ep 1.. I think depende how you watch it... I think most of Ep. 2 was a work of genious...
i am finding this program a bit of a Contemporary CHEWIN THE FAT meets ABSOLUTELY, quite a lot of cleverclogs comedy/observations in it as well as the obvious coarse gags.. The brothers in the Ice Cream Van have a kinda DON & GEORGE thing about them... in a different delivery...lol.. i am enjoying it very much.. Ep 3 tommorow am lookin forward to it..
last episode of the series added now - and they brought in a raft of new characters. They've obviously got a lot left and I cannae wait for the new series anyway!
On checking it seems a new series isn't guaranteed...
I'm feeling inclined to agree with anyone who points at me in a string vest from their avatar, either for reasons of intimidation, fetish, or just for the Halibut (so I'm just agreeing with you... Seems safer,that way ;) )
I'm 100% behind any UK or Irish comedy. It's us v. the world!!
