It’s all over the papers! The truth is out! Burnistoun, our sketch show, has been commissioned by the BBC for a full series. We’re writing away on it just now, and should be filming around November time.
Having our own sketch show has been our dream since we were wee guys, so it’s an exciting time.
Thanks to everyone who’s watched our stuff and we’ll keep you updated with any further developments.
The pilot was brilliant and I’m sure the first six episodes will be great also. Congratulations on living the dream!
My honest opinion of Burnistoun is that I felt a bit let doon maybe this is because Legit and Empty set my expectations high. This wont stop me from watching the series as I belive and hope it will get better. Oh and congrats on getting a series.
I am really delighted by the news. Well done!
‘Raaay!
And Limmy got one too.
Good times.
Just read this over at the consolevania forum, and I have to say well done! Can not wait to see it!
Congrats.
Well done! The pilot was right proper good, so I’m looking forward to seeing a full series.
Congratulations, this marks the return of good telly.
Well in.
Thanks very much for the comments. We shall now set about the long task of making you laugh for approximately 180 minutes (broken down into weekly thirty minute chunks ) at some stage in the early new year.
congratulations, a much deserved commission
showed my mate and his wee brother the pilot last weekend and they loved it
i hadn’t watched it since the original 2 showings on the bbc but it holds up so well, still quality even when you know whats coming, a rare thing.
Oh jesus, why do brainless TV execs commission this pap?
If I wanted to see funny people having fun I’d join a fucking happy club.
This has ruined television for me forever.
I’m so bloody angry about this right now.
I’m going to put my foot through the set and send you the bill.
The Bill. Now there’s a good show. You never see fun in that.
I bet this new rubbish will take the place of something I like, for instance, a documentary on hateful religious oppression or something about unhappy people having operations because they hate their own bodies, or maybe ITV Nightscreen. I bet it’s ITV Nightscreen.
We need more shows about the credit crunch, the uncontrollable spread of diseases and something about knife crime. Real television.
“Oh, I am a man having a joke”
“Oh, I’m a man too having another joke”
“Jokes, jokes, jokes”
“Ha ha ha. I’ve laughed my head off”
That’s all it’ll be. Just fucking jokes after jokes.
Well I hate it. I’ve had enough.
I’m writing to my MP. I want my license fee back.
Unless it’s a catch phrase comedy. Then I’ll probably watch it.
Wicky woo! This week I have been mostly. How very dare you.
Classic.
