Anyone else watched this show?

I saw my first episode last night and thought it was brilliant.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00p68g4/Gary...

IMHO, potentially the best thing since "Still Game".

shout " Big Al." ...

... I know this post is about a television programme but it's very much a Scottish thing. If you shift it in to "TV, Film & Radio", nobody will know what the hell I'm on about.

Cheers,

Eric smile

Funny, but not a patch on Armando Iannuco's The Thick of It.

Lead character's from the Gorbals so still apt.

"If you say a fking word i'm going to pull your skin off and wear it like a fking dress, take your mother for a dance in the moonlight, rub your balls up and down her leg while all the time singing bohemian rhapsody"

searching for 'blowout' and 'gary tank commander' on youtube comes up with some good stuff from this actor.

I tuned in to watch this show with great expectations - however, its pretty pants. Sundays was much better than the first episode however!

No, not really, I just don’t like the way how the media always seems to portray them like what’s his name (Mr Humphries?) out of ‘Are you being served’… smile
