I did wonder how quickly this would kick off.

What did you think of the whole show, pretty disappointing in the most parts?

He'll be missed.

I liked DeeDee up the Finnieston crane, and also Jacqueline McCafferty. Other bits 'n' bobs too.

Oh, there's a real Benny Harvey, whos Bebo is currently being mauled with well-wishers.. http://www.bebo.com/bennyharvey_1

Yep, that sums it up for me, pretty disappointing. I've followed Limmy for years via his round-the-world blog and although I enjoyed the podcasts & the initial TV pilot I can't say I enjoyed the 1st of the run of six last night. The only bit I found funny was the "Drove all night" sketch near the end.

Give it a chance it was only the first episode, I thought it was good and has potential, the wee Gary cartoon pyramid scheme culminating in a pole crusher was genius smile

A lot of it was just his 'World of Glasgow' podcast stories put in TV form - understandable though, as I suppose it's reaching out to a new audience. I found it funny in parts, but not as good as the podcasts.

In celebration of Limmy and the weather, here's a game that he made with his old company (he was a Flash applications/IT bod before quitting to pursue the comedy thing full time).

Hah, I love Limmys flash/java apps. The first one I was introduced to was the xylophone (You.. are.. a..f^%%^&.. cT%#). I also managed to get a thread I started in the Lounge locked, which was about Limmys facebook app. If you know the one I mean, it's hilarious - I gave plenty of NSFW warnings, but it still earned me a warning. I don't regret it for one second though smile

NSFW! NSFW! NSFW!

Hah, it's crude, but very very funny (in my purile opinion). It was made by Limmy, who now has his own TV show - so it's a legit app, and not going to get anyone in trouble, etc.. other than me for posting it here, most likely smile
