Episode 1
1 So what's the system here? I dunno.
I think you just go up and get your grub.
What, you just walk up?! I think so.
But I've nae plate.
I think there's maybe plates up there.
Right, you go up first, then.
No, you go up first.
You're the one that wanted to come in here.
- I don't know the set-up.
- Well, neither do I.
Right, I'll go.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
We'll go together.
Naw, we cannae go up together.
If we go up together and there's nae plates, then we need to come back together, empty-handed, like clowns.
If there's nae plates, you'll look like a clown anyway.
Naw, if I go up myself, I'll just look like I'm checking the food oot.
And if there's plates there, I'll gie you a wee wink.
You're no' winking at me! We'll look like a couple of boyfriends.
Who are you shouting at? We should have just went to a normal place.
I'm starving.
It's all you can eat.
It's a bargain.
You guys been to a buffet before? - Do you know what yous are doin'? - Aye, mate, aye.
Aye, nae bother, big chap.
Veterans, mate, you know, veterans.

Well, enjoy your meal.

That's what I was gonnae dae, idiot.
Here, mate, sit down.
If you're going up and I'm staying here, you'll need to get me a plate o' grub an' all.
Naw.
If I bring back a plate for you, I'll look like your wife, never mind your boyfriend.
Aye, well, as long as you're sorted.
Selfish bastard.

I'll stick that fork in your neck, you c He disnae.
He's too scared to go up.
Aw, there's nothing to it.
I'm no' scared.
He's scared.

Honestly, it's like taking my son out or something.
Do I just take what I want? This is a nightmare, man.
Oh, are you? Naw, naw, naw, on you go.
I'm just passing through.
All right? All right, folks? Know what you're doing at the buffet and that, aye? Aye.
Nae bother.
Good, good.
My name's James Jumpstyle of Jumpstyle Beds And Chairs, Burnistoun's only Jumpstyle furniture store.
You'd better get down here for our spring sale quickstyle or should that beJumpstyle? My Jumpstyle staff will sort you out with all your furniture needs Jumpstyle! What kind of bedside cabinet was it were you after, madam? Jumpstyle Beds And Chairs! Come on down and shop in style shop in Jumpstyle! I heard old Biscuity Boyle was down there, an' all.
Aye, aye.
He got stuck in the revolving door, and his troosers fell doon.
Poor old bugger.
Ah, you couple of bent shots, man! - Tadgers.
- Hey, don't dingy us, you pair o' rent boys, man! Keep walking, Gordo.
Yous are getting knifed, man! Oh! Try to imagine throwing a two-litre bottle of ginger over 150 metres and landing it dead centre on a target, that target being a rocket's napper.
That's exactly what my next guest did, Gordon Belford.
- Gordon, hello.
- Hello, Sarah.
So, what's the script with this ginger-throwing thing, then? Well, me and my mate, Jamie, were just out getting some swadgers, and on the way back, these wee guys started giein' us a bit o' snash.
What kind of snash? Er, just kinda calling us bent shots and rent boys, an' that.
And then one of the wee skelpers said that he was pulling a knife.
So, I just flung ma bottle o' ginger.
And as fortune had it, - I doofed it right aff his dome.
- Amazing.
And is it true you're going to be in The Guinness Book Of Records? Well, apparently, I'd have to recreate the throw under Guinness conditions.
Gordon, you have your two-litre bottle of ginger? The wee fud is in position.
Yous are all gettin' knifed, man! Gordon, good luck.
Aaaaaah! Yes! Whoo! Wow! I heard old Biscuity Boyle was doon there an' all.

- Nah.
They're fine.
I'll just take your form round to the doctor.
Take a seat.
And so I've set up office in here and I'm going to run as an independent candidate for the Burnistoun West seat.
People say single-issue candidates are never a good thing for politics.
Well, the needless installation of traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout is a single issue around which this whole community has rallied.
If our MP had dealt with this single issue in the first place, - there'd be no need for me to do this.
- But let's say you win.
You'll need to think about a whole lot more than the Dekebone roundabout.
Well, I'll worry about that when I win.
I cannae believe we've won.
I was just hoping to make a point, really, but to have actually won just shows you the strength of feeling people have towards these utterly needless traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout, which it is now my job to have removed.
I think the police are happy for them to hang around on the spare ground, but my house backs onto it, and this gang are regularly smashing my windows and intimidating me.
Right.
And where is your house in relation to the Dekebone roundabout? I'm nowhere near the Dekebone roundabout.
I just told you where I lived.
Well, is there some way you could get these boys onto the Dekebone roundabout? What are you talking about? Like, put some alcopops down for them, as bait.
Lure them onto it, and then maybe I can help you.
Why should they need to be on that roundabout for you to help me? Well, I was elected on the Dekebone roundabout issue.
That's where my focus is.
That's reality.
I mean, nobody was expecting a hung parliament in the first place, but for the whole thing to hinge on me was just incredible.
What did the Prime Minister say to you? I did nae give him a chance to say anything.
I just said, "Here, you, never mind saving your ain backside, "what about these traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout?" What did he say? He asked me to be the Foreign Secretary.
Sorry, Mr President, I'm choking on my roll and tottie scone here.
Yes, I know the Middle East situation is very complex, but I feel we can solve it by taking the same approach as I've taken to the Dekebone roundabout.
Are you aware of that particular chaos? I've come unfeasibly far in British politics and I suppose it's inevitable that the thing that got me where I am is the thing that finishes me off.
Is this breaking news? On the day I finally got the traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout removed, Billy Carr's daughter was driving round it in her brand-new Punto.
She stopped halfway round, expecting a red light.
- Force of habit.
- Er, anyway, she took a bit of a bump, and it caused £200 worth of damage.
So I feel I've no option but to resign as the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
I cannae even fuckin' drive.
I cannae even drive.
All right, Scott, mate, come on in.
No, I've nae time, man.
Listen, remember last week, when you could nae make it oot for ma birthday? Aye, aye, sorry I could nae make it, man.
Naw, naw, it's all right.
Mind you phoned me when I was in the pub and you said, "Happy birthday and have a round on me"? Er, aye, aye.
Aye, well, em, the round came to £23.
75.
Right.
Er, you sure I did nae say, "Have a drink on me"? - Naw.
- "Have one on me"? Naw.
"Have a round on me," you said.
I remember, cos we werenae doing rounds, just buying our ain, and then you phoned, and we switched onto rounds for that one round.
23.
75.
Right, that's 30.
You got change? Naw.
Right.
Listen, I'm not bothered about gieing you the money, Scott.
But, erm, sometimes somebody would say something as a figure o' speech, and you just wouldnae call them on it.
I mean, you just wouldnae dae it.
Nae idea what you're talkin' about, Peter.
I'll catch you later, bud, all right? Aye, later, bud.
Make yerself comfy.
Sort us a wee drink, Jade, and I'll mebbe be on ma worst behaviour later.
Mm.
- Have you got a cat? - Aye, I've got a cat.
You no' a cat person? It's no' that.
Listen, I'd better go.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
What is it? If you're allergic, I'll put it in the other room.
No, it's Look, Jade, this might sound mental.
But when I was 14, I choked on a bit of pakora.
Right.
And when I woke up frae the coma I found I could read cats' memories.
So what? All they do is sleep and eat.
Naw.
Look, if we're gettin' intae things and suddenly I get a vision o' a wee bird getting slaughtered or a mouse getting tortured, it'll kill the mood.
- Believe me.
- It's a hoose cat.
It's never been oot.
Don't worry, I'll get you a drink.
God, my arse is so hairy the night! Cheerio.
OK, with me in the studio today is Sammy Strange.
And if I could just pick you up on a point, Sammy, you said to our last caller that you had travelled through time.
Into the future.
Yeah.
I mean, it's strange to believe, but I've actually heard this interview go out on air.
This interview? This very interview.
OK.
So, can you prove that? Well, what do you want to know? Well, what happens next? I answer your question.
And there we go.
No, no, right, right, OK, OK.
What happens after I say this? What happens is I tell you what happens.
And then it happens.
And it just did.
No, no, what you're saying isn't happening in the future, it's happening now.
So what happens in the future after this? I answer your question.
When? Right now.
Just then.
And there we go.
OK, OK, OK, don't say another word, OK? If you've been to the future and you've already heard this interview, what do I say next? Sausage rolls.
- Sausage rolls? - And there we go.
No, no, you led me into that.
OK, let's take a call.
You tell me the name of the next caller.
Umm Amanda from Burnistoun.
- Without looking at the monitor.
- I didn't look at the monitor.
Sammy, I think it's amazing that you knew my name.
That's really strange! Thank you, Amanda.
He just looked at the monitor, Amanda, that's all.
He's gonnae say I did look at the monitor.
- You did look at the monitor.
- And there we go.
You're amazing.
- He's gonnae wrap it up now.
- No.
I'm not, actually.
So you're wrong.
- Proved you're a fake.
- Here it comes.
No, it's gonnae happen.
Not wrapping it up, keep going.
Any minute now.
Oh, this'll be amazing if this happens! Yeah, well, of course it has to happen eventually.
Of course it has to happen, because I said it would.
Yeah, well, it hasn't yet, has it? I'm just getting word from my producer.
We have to wrap it up.
And there we go.
Oh, my God! Are you wan o' thae people that are frightened of wakenin' up inside a coffin after you've been buried? Don't worry.
For only a hunner pound a dig, Burnistoun Fear Services will dig you up every single day, until you physically start to rot.
Here, mate.
You still deid? Mate? Mate? Here, you still deid, mate? Burnistoun Fear Services Argh! Argh! Just in case.
We're tryin' to run an ice-cream van here, Walter.
Shut up.
I'm fillin' my paddling pool now, anyway, cos we're at the beach now, anyway.
- There's nae room.
- Yes, there is.
I only need enough room for my handies and my feeties and a wee bit of my bare bottom, anyway.
You are not swimmin' in this ice-cream van! I wouldnae even have to make a rubbish paddling pool beach if you'd let us go on holiday to Blackpool, like I wanted to go to Blackpool on holiday, anyway! There's nae time.
Somebody has got to pay the bills round here.
I don't see why I should pay any bills.
I'm only 17 years old, anyway.
You're the same age as me, Walter.
I was talking about doggy years, you idiot! But you are not a doggy.
I bet you wish I was a doggy, then you could tie me up in your bedroom and kiss me, like you kiss all the other doggies, anyway.
You're a disgusting, disgusting boy, Walter.
I run a groomin' service.
Yes.
You're the groom and the doggy's the bride! - What can I get for you? - Can I have a packet of salt and vinegar? A packet of salty and vinegary crispies.
Certainly.
Walter! Don't know what you're shoutin' at me for, I never even done anythin'.
You just drenched me.
It was a wave, you stupid idiot! It was a wave from the beach! I'll wave at you in a minute.
Wave you away on the bus.
Back to the home we got sent tae when Mammy died.
Oh, oh, oh, look at ma lip.
You've made ma lip sad now, anyway, talking aboot that place.
This is your last chance.
You give that wee boy a packet of salty and vinegary crispies, right now.
I can't see! Ma lip's shaking too much, anyway.
I just want to go and play my accordion.
Oh, go and play it, then.
40 pence, please.
Thank you, very Excuse me.
I'm just gonnae go and have to have a word with my brother.
Help! Help! There's a shark! Get me out the water, anyway! Argh! Argh! Argh! That's it.
Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Son, what did I tell you? Turn that shite aff! In the name o' me.
Where's the buttons? No, they've installed voice recognition technology in this lift.
I heard aboot it.

Please state which floor you would like togo to in a clear and calm manner.
Calm? Calm? Where's that coming frae? Why is it telling people tae be calm? Because they knew they'd be selling it to Scottish people who'd be going aff their nuts at it! You have not selected a floor.
Aye, we have! 11! If you would like to get out of the elevator without selecting a floor, simply say, "Open the doors, please.
" "Please"? Please? Suck ma wullie.
Mebbe we should just say please.
I'm no' begging that for nothin'.
Open the doors, please.
"Please"? Pathetic.
Please remain calm.
Lift me up to that thing.
Just wait for it to speak.
- You have not selected a floor.

I'll just take your form round to the doctor.
Take a seat.
And so I've set up office in here and I'm going to run as an independent candidate for the Burnistoun West seat.
People say single-issue candidates are never a good thing for politics.
Well, the needless installation of traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout is a single issue around which this whole community has rallied.
If our MP had dealt with this single issue in the first place, - there'd be no need for me to do this.
- But let's say you win.
You'll need to think about a whole lot more than the Dekebone roundabout.
Well, I'll worry about that when I win.
I cannae believe we've won.
I was just hoping to make a point, really, but to have actually won just shows you the strength of feeling people have towards these utterly needless traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout, which it is now my job to have removed.
I think the police are happy for them to hang around on the spare ground, but my house backs onto it, and this gang are regularly smashing my windows and intimidating me.
Right.
And where is your house in relation to the Dekebone roundabout? I'm nowhere near the Dekebone roundabout.
I just told you where I lived.
Well, is there some way you could get these boys onto the Dekebone roundabout? What are you talking about? Like, put some alcopops down for them, as bait.
Lure them onto it, and then maybe I can help you.
Why should they need to be on that roundabout for you to help me? Well, I was elected on the Dekebone roundabout issue.
That's where my focus is.
That's reality.
I mean, nobody was expecting a hung parliament in the first place, but for the whole thing to hinge on me was just incredible.
What did the Prime Minister say to you? I did nae give him a chance to say anything.
I just said, "Here, you, never mind saving your ain backside, "what about these traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout?" What did he say? He asked me to be the Foreign Secretary.
Sorry, Mr President, I'm choking on my roll and tottie scone here.
Yes, I know the Middle East situation is very complex, but I feel we can solve it by taking the same approach as I've taken to the Dekebone roundabout.
Are you aware of that particular chaos? I've come unfeasibly far in British politics and I suppose it's inevitable that the thing that got me where I am is the thing that finishes me off.
Is this breaking news? On the day I finally got the traffic lights at the Dekebone roundabout removed, Billy Carr's daughter was driving round it in her brand-new Punto.
She stopped halfway round, expecting a red light.
- Force of habit.
- Er, anyway, she took a bit of a bump, and it caused £200 worth of damage.
So I feel I've no option but to resign as the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
I cannae even fuckin' drive.
I cannae even drive.
All right, Scott, mate, come on in.
No, I've nae time, man.
Listen, remember last week, when you could nae make it oot for ma birthday? Aye, aye, sorry I could nae make it, man.
Naw, naw, it's all right.
Mind you phoned me when I was in the pub and you said, "Happy birthday and have a round on me"? Er, aye, aye.
Aye, well, em, the round came to £23.
75.
Right.
Er, you sure I did nae say, "Have a drink on me"? - Naw.
- "Have one on me"? Naw.
"Have a round on me," you said.
I remember, cos we werenae doing rounds, just buying our ain, and then you phoned, and we switched onto rounds for that one round.
23.
75.
Right, that's 30.
You got change? Naw.
Right.
Listen, I'm not bothered about gieing you the money, Scott.
But, erm, sometimes somebody would say something as a figure o' speech, and you just wouldnae call them on it.
I mean, you just wouldnae dae it.
Nae idea what you're talkin' about, Peter.
I'll catch you later, bud, all right? Aye, later, bud.
Make yerself comfy.
Sort us a wee drink, Jade, and I'll mebbe be on ma worst behaviour later.
Mm.
- Have you got a cat? - Aye, I've got a cat.
You no' a cat person? It's no' that.
Listen, I'd better go.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
What is it? If you're allergic, I'll put it in the other room.
No, it's Look, Jade, this might sound mental.
But when I was 14, I choked on a bit of pakora.
Right.
And when I woke up frae the coma I found I could read cats' memories.
So what? All they do is sleep and eat.
Naw.
Look, if we're gettin' intae things and suddenly I get a vision o' a wee bird getting slaughtered or a mouse getting tortured, it'll kill the mood.
- Believe me.
- It's a hoose cat.
It's never been oot.
Don't worry, I'll get you a drink.
God, my arse is so hairy the night! Cheerio.
OK, with me in the studio today is Sammy Strange.
And if I could just pick you up on a point, Sammy, you said to our last caller that you had travelled through time.
Into the future.
Yeah.
I mean, it's strange to believe, but I've actually heard this interview go out on air.
This interview? This very interview.
OK.
So, can you prove that? Well, what do you want to know? Well, what happens next? I answer your question.
And there we go.
No, no, right, right, OK, OK.
What happens after I say this? What happens is I tell you what happens.
And then it happens.
And it just did.
No, no, what you're saying isn't happening in the future, it's happening now.
So what happens in the future after this? I answer your question.
When? Right now.
Just then.
And there we go.
OK, OK, OK, don't say another word, OK? If you've been to the future and you've already heard this interview, what do I say next? Sausage rolls.
- Sausage rolls? - And there we go.
No, no, you led me into that.
OK, let's take a call.
You tell me the name of the next caller.
Umm Amanda from Burnistoun.
- Without looking at the monitor.
- I didn't look at the monitor.
Sammy, I think it's amazing that you knew my name.
That's really strange! Thank you, Amanda.
He just looked at the monitor, Amanda, that's all.
He's gonnae say I did look at the monitor.
- You did look at the monitor.
- And there we go.
You're amazing.
- He's gonnae wrap it up now.
- No.
I'm not, actually.
So you're wrong.
- Proved you're a fake.
- Here it comes.
No, it's gonnae happen.
Not wrapping it up, keep going.
Any minute now.
Oh, this'll be amazing if this happens! Yeah, well, of course it has to happen eventually.
Of course it has to happen, because I said it would.
Yeah, well, it hasn't yet, has it? I'm just getting word from my producer.
We have to wrap it up.
And there we go.
Oh, my God! Are you wan o' thae people that are frightened of wakenin' up inside a coffin after you've been buried? Don't worry.
For only a hunner pound a dig, Burnistoun Fear Services will dig you up every single day, until you physically start to rot.
Here, mate.
You still deid? Mate? Mate? Here, you still deid, mate? Burnistoun Fear Services Argh! Argh! Just in case.
We're tryin' to run an ice-cream van here, Walter.
Shut up.
I'm fillin' my paddling pool now, anyway, cos we're at the beach now, anyway.
- There's nae room.
- Yes, there is.
I only need enough room for my handies and my feeties and a wee bit of my bare bottom, anyway.
You are not swimmin' in this ice-cream van! I wouldnae even have to make a rubbish paddling pool beach if you'd let us go on holiday to Blackpool, like I wanted to go to Blackpool on holiday, anyway! There's nae time.
Somebody has got to pay the bills round here.
I don't see why I should pay any bills.
I'm only 17 years old, anyway.
You're the same age as me, Walter.
I was talking about doggy years, you idiot! But you are not a doggy.
I bet you wish I was a doggy, then you could tie me up in your bedroom and kiss me, like you kiss all the other doggies, anyway.
You're a disgusting, disgusting boy, Walter.
I run a groomin' service.
Yes.
You're the groom and the doggy's the bride! - What can I get for you? - Can I have a packet of salt and vinegar? A packet of salty and vinegary crispies.
Certainly.
Walter! Don't know what you're shoutin' at me for, I never even done anythin'.
You just drenched me.
It was a wave, you stupid idiot! It was a wave from the beach! I'll wave at you in a minute.
Wave you away on the bus.
Back to the home we got sent tae when Mammy died.
Oh, oh, oh, look at ma lip.
You've made ma lip sad now, anyway, talking aboot that place.
This is your last chance.
You give that wee boy a packet of salty and vinegary crispies, right now.
I can't see! Ma lip's shaking too much, anyway.
I just want to go and play my accordion.
Oh, go and play it, then.
40 pence, please.
Thank you, very Excuse me.
I'm just gonnae go and have to have a word with my brother.
Help! Help! There's a shark! Get me out the water, anyway! Argh! Argh! Argh! That's it.
Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw! Son, what did I tell you? Turn that shite aff! In the name o' me.

Please state which floor you would like togo to in a clear and calm manner.
Calm? Calm? Where's that coming frae? Why is it telling people tae be calm? Because they knew they'd be selling it to Scottish people who'd be going aff their nuts at it! You have not selected a floor.
Aye, we have! 11! If you would like to get out of the elevator without selecting a floor, simply say, "Open the doors, please.

"Please"? Pathetic.
