this is really something. it feels like a window into genuine mental illness and into thinking about your own mental state. i'm glad there aren't six episodes of this. it was very overwhelming/depressing.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Friday, 6 April 2018 00:59 (six years ago) link
the depressing element of it seemed greater than the comic element of it.

His best stuff yet I reckon.
Amazing how he was the only person in it, all filmed himself round his house and local park, but it felt so rich and layered. So much more intense than his sketch show stuff, largely because it was all him, not having to reign it in or dilute it at all, no (or v few) clunky punchlines. Credit to the BBC that they'd put out something like that, but minus credit that it's online-only.
I didn't find it depressing though, more like he's pushing things further than most, saying unsayable, etc. Your mileage etc etc though.
― NI, Friday, 6 April 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
Loved it. Agree with how intense it felt, very well crafted.

Currently don't own a computer and live in Canada so fuck knows when I'll get to see this. Murder.
Xpost to NI : it was shown on tv, on BBC 1 Scotland. Just not UK-wide.
― Louis Jägermeister (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 7 April 2018 04:44 (six years ago) link
Also loved this, seems like it's surely cost effective enough for the BBC to pay for more. Didn't find it anymore depressing than Limmy's Show or the Vines though. The mental illness has always been there, like the Millport sketch is just brutal.

I watched it on youtube last night. A search there currently turns up the full episode (uploaded by Darren Rigby-O'Neill) for those without BBC access, though I guess it may get taken down before too long.

With this and Limmy saying he was drifting away from the comedic approach, I wasn't expecting to laugh so much. This is as funny as he's ever been, I was laughing at this more than any comedy show since... maybe since Limmy's Show? I'm sad there's only one episode.
Did anyone else search for this on iplayer and find his Funny Valentines short video? That's good too. It's about a guy making a dating profile advert, who has no clue how fucked up he is.

oh dear, oh dear
cheers for the link, krakow. got it watched last night, thought it was cracking, not sure it will be commissioned for a series as it seems a little darker and even more sui generis than his earlier tv stuff. limmy tweeted that he will make a series whether it is commissioned or not, id imagine he'll probably going down the patreon route if it isn't

exactly. I loved the minimal nature of this - everything pared down to a facial expression or tone of voice (radiator harpist) or repetition (ouija board)

Love it when he kicks out the handyman and starts saying crazy shit like "I'm legally entitled to stab you"
"A big fat hen!" is probably the winner though.

I went and looked and he seems genuinely concerned about the fire, people in the area, and whatever institutional malpractice could let it happen again. I don't see why one would take it as a joke (nor make one)

Bit of both going on tbh. Gallows humour is a Glaswegian speciality after all.

Been listening to the That's Your Lot audiobook lately and it's a LOT better than DWS, although that wasn't bad by any means. He seems to have nailed the craft of story-telling a lot better, less of the ta-da! punchlines or over-extended endings of DWS. Plus the final Benidorm story is fantastic - a total throwback to his World Of Glasgow podcasts but with all the skills he's learned and honed in the years since. Few duffs in there, particularly in the final third, but overall a lot better than I expected.
Two stories really stuck with me, for totally different reasons. New Life is this brilliantly understated, non-grim, non-shock, genuinely moving short story, which ends in the exact right place for ultimate spine-tingling effect. Getting a shudder thinking about it now, in a perfect world, where Limmy got his own series of Black Mirror, this would be his San Junipero.
And Moustache, which is classic dark Limmy, but it's a tone I've never come across anywhere, no other comedian, no writer. Totally unique, and again, stuck with me long after reading, but for nastier laugh-out-loud reasons.
