Does anyone watch this? I have only recently been made aware if it. It is a sitcom based in Glasgow and centres around three sets of neighbours with different personalities. I assume it was only shown in Scotland but all of it is available on the iPlayer.
It is absolutely fantastic, probably the funniest bbc sitcom I have seen in years. If you haven’t already seen it you need to look it out and give it a go.

Yes - Always a good watch.

For some reason I always enjoy Scottish comedy:

Still Game
Burnistown
Chewing The Fat
The Limmy Show

There have been three series, it was shown on BBC 2 and it is very very funny.
A real hidden gem.
When they go out to the pub for a meal and the massive fish and chips come out, it's still a catchphrase in our house. Brilliant stuff.

I did search before posting (but we all know how bad the PH search is).

I think I did the same thing started a thread and was directed elsewhere.
We went through the entire series in a couple of weeks. Some of the stuff had me in stitches especially some of Christine's lines.

... well it was better than the King Gary christmas special (although that wouldnt have been hard).. I understand its been a tricky year TV production wise.

There's another sitcom that did a similar thing and made an episode (Christmas special?) of quoting other sitcoms scenes and catchphrases, it might have been The Royle Family, I'm not sure. That episode was crap too. And I usually do like Two Doors Down.

Yeah we were disappointed too. Loved every other episode but that was a bit crap. Couple of laugh out loud bits but not a patch on the preceding stuff.

Agreed, it wasn't up to the usual standard.
