Burnistoun

First series was funny but now it just dire.Unfunny characters shouting nonsense is just no comedy.Very poor.

If you enjoy a string of one-liners, strung together with no theme or consistency then you might enjoy this.

I was brought up in England, spent a few months each year in Scotland and continue to visit Scotland each year, yet I found most of the dialogue impossible to understand.

I enjoy British humour, yet most of what I watched made little sense--and was not funny. Clearly this sitcom is going to divide viewers into either the LOVE IT camp or the HATE IT camp. Try it--you'll know in five minutes if it tickles your funny bone. It didn't tickle mine--indeed it made it numb!

Burnistoun has made me laugh harder than I could possibly imagine over its 3 season run with 3 one-off specials and a pilot episode, and the attention this show gets is well deserved. They portray Glaswegians, including me, as who they really are: loud and funny. Robert Florence and Iain Connell captured us perfectly, and their writing is genius.

All I do have to say is: if you're an old-yin, and hate stupid, nonsensical humour, maybe you should just skip this one and go back to watching Law and Order, or CSI: Miami in the nursing home. They're sketches, and they're not meant to be taken seriously.

This is a great show. I grew up in Scotland (10 years) and didn't struggle with the accents and dialects. Much. But some might.

This is a brilliant sketch show unbridled by commercial constraints, yet with a big enough budget for good sets and make up. The writing is fresh, brave, and hilarious. The acting is top notch.

...and Kirsty Strain is the kind of beauty I'd crawl over broken glass for, just to see her reflection in a window. A legendary screen beauty who I hope, and not solely because of her looks as she's a great talent, goes on to achieve great fame . A genuine stunner.

In fact, I hope these people go on to bigger and better things, they deserve it.

Give it a watch. It's actually good.

I'm from Cumbria. so I get the accents. Other people might not. This show was so funny. I really liked it. Great characters. Davey McGrogan. Jolly Boy John. You have to watch this.
