This is a gentle but very funny sitcom which brings a smile to the face every episode. The show has some great moments played out by well-defined characters. Many viewers might find the Scottish accent hard to decipher at first but stay with it as, unlike most sitcoms about at the moment, it will actually make you laugh out loud.

The latest series (season six) saw the introduction of guest cameos, more ambitious stunts and some new linear storylines (e.g. Tam having a baby) - in all honesty we don't think this comedy needs such gimmicks to stay funny so we hope the next series (should one be made) returns things back to basics.

It's yet to be seen if a seventh series will be made though - Kiernan and Hemphill have revealed that the 2007 Hogmanny special "will be the last show for the foreseeable future". The creators have decided to put the future of the show 'on hold' so that it doesn't outstay its welcome and so that they can concentrate on other projects. The show may return one day though - the other stars are certainly keen for more episodes (press report).
