BURNISTOUN

Welcome to Sunny Burnistoun!

Robert Florence and Iain Connell write and perform a brand new sketch show for BBC Scotland in which we meet the hilarious residents of a fictional Scottish town named Burnistoun. Robert will be familiar to BBC audiences as presenter of anarchic video games review show Videogaiden. Florence and Connell have previously written sitcoms Empty and Legit and created characters for Chewin’ The Fat and The Karen Dunbar Show.

For Burnistoun Robert and Iain have turned writer-performers and their new character creations include Uncle Willie the man who insists on having his own funeral before he dies, wannabe girl-band singer Jackie McGlade who can make any tune sexy except football songs and John and Terry two pub pals who insist they do not fantasize about each other sexually. Burnistoun has its own newspaper, its own radio station and its own ice-cream van where sparks and nuggets fly as the boys who own it have a major family argument.

The show’s supporting cast includes Leah MacRae (Legit, the Karen Dunbar Show, The Angry Puppy) and comic perfomer Allan Miller (The Atrocity Machine).
