This is a good show for people who like crude comedy and just want to unwind and watch some mindless fun after a hard day. It has some great lines and dialogue and isn't so crude that it made feel physically sick, like some shows I've seen.
However, having said that, this show is a bit of a mixed bag. There are some episodes that are absolutely hilarious, and others that are just stupid and pointless. Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus are entertaining to watch and there are some really funny one-off characters (such as Tom's suicidal home help guy). Some of the reoccurring characters got on my nerves though. I know Jez and Suze are supposed to be obnoxious, but it stopped being funny quickly and they simply became annoying as the series continued.
I re-watched it recently and found myself becoming less entertained by it as it progressed. Whilst the third series had a few decent moments, it was mostly stupid rather than funny. (I did like the ending though).
I think the best episodes are definitely in the first and second series.
By the way, after reading some of the other reviews here, I don't appreciate being called stupid, drunk or stoned for liking a show. Calling into question someone's intelligence just because they like something is pointless. This show isn't for everyone. If you don't like it, at least write a review that says why, instead of insulting other people because they don't agree with you.

Well I think the person that left the comment saying gimme gimme gimme is crap needs their heads read. I hardly would put the cast in the same category as Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks. While the two are amazing, it's like comparing chalk and cheese.
Kathy Burke is a hugely talented comedy actress. She's awesome at what she does and I don't think this Australian bozo has any right to slag her and her co-stars off.
I would like to see the comment-leaver do better.
It's obvious that he/she couldn't, otherwise they would find something better to do than sit on their a r s e at the computer complaining.

This is one of the best english television series ever to have been released. It's basically about Linda (Kathy Burke) and Tom (James Drefus) who are roomates. Linda is backwards, sex mad, disgusting and unemployed. Tom is an out of work actor who's gay, self obsessed and he like to think of himself as middle class. Each week is a different story about what happens to them. But this really is hillarious any one will like it apart from snotty prudes. Watch It.
From the first episode right to the last New Year episode i have loved it. Althought Tom Farrell and Linda La Hughes are some of the most disgusting people you could come across they are adorable.
Gimme Gimme Gimme is sent in Kentish Town in London. They are flat mates, Tom being the sissy gay one and Linda being the butch straight one. The series also features three other main characters... Beryl (landlady) and Sues and Jez (The sickeningly in love neighbours. Linda and Tom are constantly hitting on Jez). The is one reoccuring character... Sugar walls, (you now see the actess in Eastenders... so don't hope to see her in this again).
My favourite episode has to be the Millenium night episode. So filled with laughter... the episode ends with both characters passing out... after singing a small rendition of 'Tomorrow' from Annie. Then a large choir bursts in and finishes the episode.
I don't see how people could not enjoy this programme. It is one of the few good comedies that the BBC has come up with in the last 5 years.
If you love crudeness... and God do i... watch this you shall love it. It is a very addictive show.

Kathy Burke is completely mental in her role as the wise-cracking, bed-hopping loud-mouth and she's one of the funniest women on TV right now!
'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme' is a hilariously funny British TV show about a guy and girl, worlds apart who live together.
Strong performances by both the lead stars with good jokes that never fall flat. Unfortunately Richard Dreyfuss wants out. So it won't be Gimme Gimme Gimme for much longer, huh?!
