Limmy's Show! (2009)
See you Limmy!
Well after the success of the Pilot episode of Limmy's Show last year I honestly thought the originality and quick witted sketches couldn't be topped. How wrong was I? I watched the first episode (1 of 6) last night and wasn't left disappointed that Limmy had fluked it. Far from it. Some of the characters from what I have saw from Episode 1 and the Pilot look like they will be regulars (Dee Dee and Jaqueline) in this series.
This show is quite surreal and obviously full of Glasgow sayings and patter. But that shouldn't put any Non-Glaswiegans off. (something tells me it wouldn't bother Brian Limmond even if it did, as he comes across as a comedy writer/performer who is just being himself and really enjoys his job.) The problems that Limmy may come across from some is that they may compare it to Still Game or Chewin' the Fat. This is nothing like those two great shows. It's like a combination of the quick random wit of 'The Fast Show' and observation of the classic 'Absolutely'.
I'd say to anyone who can get BBC Scotland to at least give it a go and see what you think. It's fast,surreal,funny.
