Comedy sketch show written and performed by top Scottish comedy duo, Iain Connell and Robert Florence.

This week an innocent family singsong takes a devilish turn; the local funeral director solves the age old question of whether to go for burial or cremation; and an ambitious employee panics when the Boss tells a joke that isn't funny. Meanwhile Burnistoun's self-styled favourite son, Biscuity Boyle, proves to be well past his sell-by date at speed dating and the 'quality police' patrol men, McGregor and Toshan, try to find out who's the toughest in a pepper spray battle.

Regular characters Peter and Scott discuss the etiquette of rescuing someone who's fainted in the toilet and Jolly Boy John gets real in a video with his pet dog. There's also a guest appearance from comedian Frankie Boyle in a ground-breaking TV advert for pies.

Burnistoun stars Iain Connell and Robert Florence with Kirsty Strain, Allan Miller, Richard Rankin, Louise Stewart and Gerry McLaughlin. Show less
