Episode 1 of 6

Sketch show set in a fictional Scottish town. Paul and Walter have trouble dealing with a customer's order, and Peter and Scott try out some unusual exercise machines at the gym.

Welcome back to 'Burnistoun', the strange, but thankfully fictional, Scottish town created by writer performers Iain Connell and Robert Florence.

This second series of the acclaimed sketch show sees the return of some popular comic characters first seen in series one, including Paul and Walter the snippy siblings who manage to create high drama out of running an ice cream van. This week they have trouble dealing with a customer's unlikely order. Also back for series 2 are pals Peter and Scott who try out some unusual exercise machines at the local gym, and Jolly Boy John who is once again 'for real' in another video filmed in his own bedroom. Joining the regulars in this first episode of the new series are 12-year-old boys, Marky and Rosso who create mayhem in the cinema. Also new to the show is Burnistoun's self proclaimed 'quality' police team - McGregor and Toshan - whose definition of 'quality' is extremely suspect. They inadvertently leave their own incriminating marks all over a crime scene. We also visit Burnistoun's racetrack where an infuriated racehorse takes revenge on a disappointed punter; witness the blossoming love affair between two Kenny Rogers impersonators; and find out how a wee wardrobe terrified a whole community.

Starring Iain Connell and Robert Florence with Kirsty Strain, Allan Miller, Richard Rankin, Louise Stewart and Gerry McLaughlin.
