Burnistoun is an absolutely hilarious Scottish Sketch show from the minds of Robert Florence and Iain Connell. The sketches are a mix of one-offs and recurring characters, but each is hilarious in itself, there's no catchphrase-recycling here. Months after I first saw this show on TV I would find myself chuckling to myself as I remembered one of the sketches or funny lines. This is a classic piece of UK comedy and deserves to be remembered as such.
Can't wait for Season 2!

Burnistoun is the best comedy too come out,of Scotland since Rab C Nesbit and Naked Video TV.Has more of a Irvine Welsh style of cutting edge humor,like the early Fast Show series and Little Britain but gritter and darker.Way funner and better than anything that Chewin The Fat and the Karen Dunbar show has done so far.

Another excellent Scottish comedy, stumbled upon.
For some reason the BBC didn't show this south of the border (all of forty miles from me) at least until the recent late night BBC2 repeats.
(Much like 'Dear Green Place','Chewin' The Fat', most of 'Still Game' and the sometimes perplexing, but always interesting 'Limmys Show').
Although a few sketches fall flat (I'm looking at you Alex Ciderson), overall it's very very funny, and strangely, er, cosy. I hope there's a third series! (a pointless aside - Iain Connell sometimes sounds remarkably like David Tennant).

The most excellent sketch show...ever.
Nearly two years ago, I watched Burnistoun on a whim, there was nothing on TV, and I had BBCiPlayer on my Nintendo Wii. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Read more

I expected something like "Still Game" but unfortunately this was not in the same comedy line. If you like it a bit "risky" then its fine, I however found it well below my... Read more
