A Scottish - as they like to be called - man was telling me how funny this is. I must ch-ch-check it out.

I bang my head against the wall sometimes - BBC Scotland has been producing some excellent new comedies recently, yet for some reason - despite having already proved themselves - the shows aren't shown south of the border.
Even a late-night repeat would be better than nothing. Tomorrow BBC Two joins BBC News a bit after midnight... why not just delay that half an hour and show Tank Commander there instead? (There must be a reason? Otherwise they would surely do that?)
They'd have to pay them more? The Scots wouldn't feel so 'special'? We all know of their complexes...
I love this show and it is educational... well for me because it was the first show I saw in "Scottish". The first episode took me like 2 hours to watch and fully understand but by now I understand Scottish. xD
Next thing for me will be Hardy Bucks to learn Irish too. .-p

Seems like you're the one with the complex.

Yeah, me, with my own fancy money, crap poetry, tortuous musical instrument and Parliament...
Ahem.

Ahem.
Don't forget the glorious scenery.

Phew! Nearly sneaked past me *again*!

I've finally got around to watching the first few episodes of G:TC recently, and whilst some bits were certainly a bit odd, there was a lot of hilarious stuff in the show. I definitely recommend people check it out. 
Series 2 is airing on BBC Three later this month.
A real shame that they're not starting from Series 1, I think.
