Gimme Gimme Gimme (1999–2001)
Vulgar, Crude, Smutty.......but HILARIOUS!
13 April 2006
Gimme Gimme Gimme is one of my favourite comedies simply because of Kathy Burke - the woman is fantastic. Her comedy timing and facial expressions are just fantastic. This show might not be to everyone's taste and many viewers might find it too offensive and vulgar - eg. when Kathy's character Linda exclaims "I've got something in my eye" then proceeds to put her hand up her skirt and 'fix' herself - but I for one find it utterly hilarious. Watching the banter between Linda and her flatmate Tom is side-splittingly funny. The supporting characters are also great - Beryl, their landlord who just happens to be an ex-prostitute, and the sex-mad neighbours from hell Suze and Jez. My only complaint about the show is that they made Linda's character out to be a bit too thick in series 3 compared to what she was like in series 1. But still, the laughs keep on coming. If you ate easily offended then do not watch this show but if you have an open-mind and don't mind a bit of smut/vulgarity then watch this - but be careful because you may just break a rib laughing so much!
