Burnistoun is the best of the bunch by far.

It's a very promising first series. Some of the sketches go on a wee bit too long, but there are some genuinely funny aspects to it.

Never saw series 1 and after watching the first episode of series 2 I'm glad.

There was the odd moment of humour but if this is the best Scotland has to offer then just as well there are lots of other channels. Not sure who it is supposed to appeal to; Wedgies laughing at themselves or everyone else taking the pi**.

Never caught the first series, or even heard of it, but I'm watching the first episode of series 2 on iPlayer just now. It's so... random! I kind of like it.

Never caught Burnistoun before but after watching the shows on recently it's got the thumbs up from me.

The two coppers sketches have me in hysterics.

I hope there is another series.

I don't think there will unfortunately
Robert Florence mentioned on Twitter that they got a deal with Channel 4 but probably not be for Burnistoun - here's hoping its a similar sketch show tho

WHO'S SHOE IS THAT??

DIdn't even know such a thing existed.

( For the record, I love Burnistoun)

Oh yeah. They did a few dates at the Kings Theatre and then a few dates at the Theatre Royal. It was the latter I saw them at.

The show was called Burnistoun: Live and For Real. It was fantastic, all the regular favourites appeared.

UP EH ROAD!!!!!

Burnistoun is back live as part of the Ed Fringe.

Got tickets for the first weekend in August. (Going to see Radio Active as well on the same day, never been to the Festival before).
