A welcome return for Limmy's Show, not just the most inventive Scots sketch show for yonks but nationally far superior to the lazy likes of Come Fly With Me or Tramadol Nights. Not all of Brian Limond's ideas work, but even the ones which puzzle are at least interesting and many are hilariously original. I'm particularly pleased to see the naively earnest phone-in adventure game host Falconhoof again, this time with an annoying jester sidekick, while a new TV psychic who looks oddly familiar is a good addition. But it's the funny peculiar elements which really make the show stand out, like Limond's running chats to camera in which he makes great use of his disconcerting stare. It's almost scary (though not as much as Come Fly With Me being recommissioned).

Limmy: Fatherhood's made me more responsible

He's Scotlands most controversial new comedian and is loved and loathed in equal measure. But Brian Limond, aka Limmy, isn't bothered that he has divided opinion among Scots viewers - two of the biggest names in British TV comedy have given him their full seal of approval.
