Got to admit I don't really get a lot of the jokes on this, although I find it very entertaining. I reckon it must be my age; who gets it and who doesn't?

I watched the 2nd episode first and thought it was pap the i watched the 1st one on iplayer and found it funny...the strange boy on the radio was brilliant..".....and there you are"!!! and the bottle o ginger one was good. Not so much in jokes just a lot of them are really pretty poor and i reckon i could put together a better sketch show!!

I think it's oddly brilliant, with the exception of the Ice Cream Van.

That guy that got elected on the Deepbone roundabout single issue ticket was a hoot.

I had to rewind about three times to see if my ears were deceiving me with that one! Originally Posted by Filled Rolls

The roundabout guy was fantastic, was a good final punchline too after a long build up. I think their single sketch characters are their strongest ones.

I concur, we could do with an extra transmitter round about Harthill so we don't need to be subjected to that pish! Originally Posted by Easterroadbunny

2 or 3 mildly amusing bits but far more very unfunny bits. I wont be staying in to watch it.

25-03-2010 04:04 PM #12In fairness, I think this could be set in any smallish town in the Central Belt. Just because they've got Lanarkshire accents, I wouldn't say it's a weegie comedy like Rab C. Originally Posted by HUTCHYHIBBY

Ironically, I get the impression they are inspired by the work of Edinburgh based comedy factory "Absolutely". Those guys in the ice cream van, petty and officious councillors a la Stoneybrige. If only they could have a McGlashen character to round of the set.
I think there is a stong Abbot and Costello, and Lewis and Martin influence as well. All those rambling dialogues about who is wearing whose shoes, is very reminiscent of "Who's On First".

Got the complete box set of 'Absolutely' for Christmas. Missed it first time round due to only being born in '91 but it's promising if it was a precursor to shows like Burnistoun. Originally Posted by Filled Rolls
