Gimme Gimme Gimme Reviews

Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme is a BBC television comedy. It ran for three series between 1999 and 2001 but can still be seen on TV today as repeats. The program is named after the ABBA song Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A man after midnight) and this the theme tune to the show. The show is about a really odd couple who flat ...  Read the complete review

Gimme Gimme Gimme is a great comedy show from the late 90's which is about Tom (a struggling gay actor who is desperate to prove he is worthy of being known by all) and Linda (a ginger haired overweight woman who is sure she is an amazingly beautiful and stunning woman who all men want when she is in fact considered as a man repellant by all). ...  Read the complete review

Gimme, Gimme,Gimme. A Great British comedy. One of the funniest British comedies in the last decade. The plot is very simple; Linda shares a flat with Tom. Linda is a great big trollop with the manners of a diuretic pig and all the subtlety of a large brick through several plate glass windows. Once ...  Read the complete review

When Johnathan Harvey (the author) approached the BBC, the only thing that interested them was the fact that "Linda La Huges will be played by Kathy Bruke, and Tom by James Dreyfus". Well, one sniff of some household names and they were sold. Gimme Gimme Gimme had mileage to last for 3 series, and a BBC1 slot. You either love it or you ...  Read the complete review

BBC2 hadn't produced many successful and acclaimed comedy programmes in the late 1990's, but in 1999 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' was released to a decent amount of acclaim and became an instant hit with BBC2 viewers. 'Gimme gimme gimme' centres around the lives of the main characters Tom and Linda. Tom is an out-of-work ...  Read the complete review

O.K - so let's get the low-down on GGG (Gimme Gimme Gimme) shall we? A homosexual bent boy and a Lazy Loud Mouth Tart living under the same roof in a the same flat together, both seeking love and happiness. You'd think that was quite boring but you watch this and you'll have wet underwear believe you me! GGG is top class ...  Read the complete review

Gimme gimme gimme is one of the most hilarious and outrageous sitcoms shown on BBC2 recently, and after watching a few episodes, it quickly became one of my favourite modern comedy programmes. The two main characters are Tom and Linda, who are both jobless flatmates - Tom is a gay actor who can't find any work, while Linda is sex-mad ...  Read the complete review

How could Kathy Burke get so low? By piling on the pounds, wearing ill fitting clothing and expelling filth from her gob. Full of unnecessary sexual references and toilet humour make it an embarssment. Blatant swearing and innuendos merely for the sake of it, alongside dirty gestures and endless flirting. OK, the idea ...  Read the complete review

The BBC has always prided itself on its sit com output, consoling itself that it would never stoop to the same depths of lowest common denominator humour as its bitter rivals at ITV. Love Thy Neighbour, Yus My Dear and a thousand others were aimed fairly and squarely at small minded people who found crudity and double entendre amusing, in the ...  Read the complete review

The long heritage of farce and Carry On films is (not that) safe in the hands of Tiger Aspect, who are the organisation responsible for Gimme Gimme Gimme, starring Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus and ‘written’ by Jonathon Harvey. The quotation marks around written are advisable because in reality this larger than life, brash ...  Read the complete review

Now I used to love this comedy.. in fact used to plan my evenings around it. There wasn't amny comedy shows that I could sit and watch and almost be intears of laughter. Kathy Burke's character was pure genius, from one of the UK's funneist and best actresses. Her rude innuendos and plain "common as muck" comments ...  Read the complete review

Q. How do you get an absolutely c**p sitcom onto prime time BBC1? A. Put a belting sitcom onto BBC2, give it absolutely no publicity and allow it to develop its own following. Once this following reaches a suitable level, move the comedy onto BBC1 and remove all the funny gags and clever observations, and replace them with a saturation ...  Read the complete review

After a rather shaky first episode, the first series of Gimme Gimme Gimme turned out to be excellent. James Dreyfus (Tom)plays a brilliantly funny camp out-of-work actor sharing a flat with the slightly mentally deranged and very vulgar Linda played by Kathy Burke. It's great to see someone like Kathy Burke on telly, who ...  Read the complete review

Gimmie, Gimmie Gimmie, a comedy which caught my attention on BBC2 and UK Gold has now moved to primetime on Friday nights on BBC 1. I'm not sure it has travelled well. It worked for Men Behaving Badly... When Men Behaving Badly moved to the beeb from ITV and shuffled a few characters it became an outstadning success - far funnier ...  Read the complete review

A fantastic programme, starring the wonderful Kathy Burke and just as great James Dreyfuss. If you like Ab Fab, then you'll love this. This series is showing on Friday nights on bbc1 at 9.30p.m The story is based on 2 main characters. The first character being a woman who is a definite fashion disaster. Obviously some poor misguided ...  Read the complete review

'Gimme Gimme Gimme' is one of the funniest comedies I have seen in years. The performances by James Dreyfus and Kathy Burke are brilliant, if not touching, the timing of the gags is impeccable, the manner in which they present the matter of homosexuality is quite moving, the humour is sophisticated and classy, the characters are ...  Read the complete review

Gay man + nutty tart = hilarious sitcom? Mmm, well not quite. Whilst 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme' has potential, it seems to fail somewhat in its execution. Some parts of it are undeniably funny, whilst other 'jokes' can be seen coming a mile off. The idea of the show is that two 'best friends' live together, even ...  Read the complete review

Gimme Gimme Gimme is not your normal BBC sit-com.... as this is actually funny. It stars Kathy Burke and James Dreyfuss as flat mates, Burke playing a common essex girl who is desperate for a man....and Dreyfuss playing a gay out of work actor....desperate for a man. Their relationship is not exactly like Will and Grace's....but they do have ...  Read the complete review

Linda (Kathy Burke) is ...  Read the complete review
