Limmy's Show! Series 1, Episode 6 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Viewers will experience a first for television comedy in this episode, as Limmy pushes interaction to the limit by conducting a comedy test which allows him to tailor the levels of humour in the show to suit viewers' tastes.

In addition, we catch up with Falconhoof, the Adventure-call phone-in host, who struggles to keep it together on air with one final ridiculous caller.

Limmy uses his supercomputer to pick on a cyclist with an annoying habit and Mr Mulvaney, the silver-haired businessman with delinquent tendencies, considers causing mayhem with a 50p piece. John Paul, the urban menace in the goggle jacket goes for a spot of fishing and ex-junkie Jacqueline McCafferty makes her all-important Big Brother audition tape so she can finally let the world know she's not the Jacqueline they thought they knew.

There's a feast of one-off sketches and visuals as Limmy pulls a trick on a bus, chuckles at the barber's, waves at cute kids and interrupts the show with more off-beat ideas to try on people who aren't watching. There are also further encounters with the disgusting pluke-infested door-face and the bampot with the ridiculous phrases.
