One Million Pounds

Iain — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:26:28 +0000

The voice recognition lift sketch from Burnistoun has now been viewed over a million times on YouTube (between the various versions). This makes it the single most viewed YouTube video of ALL TIME.

To honour our achievements, President Barack Obama has given us the freedom of the City of America and Fidel Castro has asked that we succeed him as the leader of Cuba.

The best part is, once you get a million views on YouTube they give you a pound for every single view. I think that’s right. Is that right?

Glowing With Pride

Very proud to be inspiring this kind of behaviour in grown men.

In other news: This song makes me think of a beautiful day in Glasgow.

Hi!

Some people have been emailing asking where it is that me and Iain write.

Well, we’re sitting right now in our office at the top of the Toolbooth Steeple in Glasgow Cross. That’s where all the stuff for Burnistoun Series 2 has been written so far.

So next time you pass by the steeple, give us a shout!

And thanks to Glasgow City Council for letting us do our thing at the heart of the city!

Pleased to hear that people from all over the beautiful planet of Earth are watching our lift sketch. Our international sources are telling us that it’s particularly popular in Russia and India. Apparently it’s not just us Scots who are up against it when it comes to voice recognition technology.

Burnistoun Is Coming Back

That’s the news official. Burnistoun is coming back for a new series on the BBC. We’ll be filming it later in the year and it’ll be smashing right through your telly screens early in the new year. This gives us time to get some really muscular, tanned torsos instead of the shameful, decrepit bodies we presented you with in series 1.

Thanks for the support you’ve given the show. We plan to reward you with pleasure.

Signed.

The Boys.

Hung Parliament

Iain — Mon, 10 May 2010 22:45:29 +0000

Posting this one again because we called the hung parliament first and because we Glaswegians like to say the word ‘apropos’ at every available opportunity.

How apropos.

(It says Theme Quadro up there because that’s what we’re calling ourselves now.)
