Behind the show.
Scottish sketch comedy series written by and starring Iain Connell and Robert Florence, made by The Comedy Unit for BBC Scotland. Set in the fictional Glasgow-area town of Burnistoun, its half-hour episodes mix unconnected sketches with recurring locals such as the Quality Polis, Peter and Scott, and Jolly Boy John. A 2009 pilot was followed by three six-episode series between 2010 and 2012, plus later specials.
