Starting on BBC2 this Friday at 10pm.

A six part Series..

I heard today on Radio that it is genuinally hilarious. ( we'll see )

Hope it is as good as Rab C Nesbitt or Still Game.

And not as bad as Limmy, Burnistoun or Gary W*nk Commander.

I seen Elaine C Nesbitt live, she was shite.

Hope the script is good, she needs all the help she can get.

She was on The One Show tonight, she was predictable.

The remakes of Rab C Nesbitt were also shite. Jackie Burd is a shite writer who only got to write it because of her power with in the BBC

I've recorded it to watch - watch or delete??

Very hit and miss.

One character I thought was very good, but there were a couple of others that were very poorly cast IMO..

Watch it and see for yourself.

I'll watch it next week to see if it improves.

Delete. My guess is they think they're making a series where viewers will love the ensemble - like The Royle Family, Still Game, or Mrs Browns Boys.

It's nothing like those. That would be like comparing Johan Cruyff to Robbie Savage.

From now on I will employ a very simple litmus test ahead of watching any of these overtly Scottish 'comedies' - if Jonathan Watson is anywhere near it, ignore it.

Started off well then became shite

One of the cast, Arabella Weir ("Does my bum look big in this" from the fast show) was on the lottery programme Saturday night. I wasn't paying much attention but when asked about "2 doors down" i heard Paisley mentioned. What's the link? Supposedly set in Paisley/filmed in Paisley. Curious. Yet to watch it but recorded it so will reserve judgement on it.

Don't know about the series but the original was filmed (partly) in Paisley - a mate of mine and his dog were extras, he was out walking it early one day and got roped in.

Ach, I was on the second bottle of wine when I watched it, so couldn't offer a hugely considered analysis.

It might improve as the characters develop.

I didn't think it was as bad as some are suggesting. A few good lines in there (might seem better after a few lines I hear you shout), interspersed with some shite. Better than f**king Miranda and anything with that streak of pish Whitehall in it.

FREEDOM!

I thought it was a guy from Paisley who wrote it?
