Legit

Loved this series, just wish they had made more episodes.

I don't know what the previous reviewer was talking about. This is the funniest Scottish show since Chewin the Fat ended. It's nothing like Max and Paddy - it's funny for a start! The last episode in particular was a scream. For what it's worth, my friends and I used to delay going out on a Friday night until we'd watched it. It's crammed full of jokes, but it's got a lot of meaningful stuff too. Lovely stuff about responsible parenting. As with any new sitcom, it takes a bit of time to warm to the characters, but by the time episode 3 came around, i was rooting for Fox, hoping he'd get back with his family. I genuinely believe that Legit has the potential to run and run for years, and it's so refreshing to see a Scottish sitcom that has non-Glaswegian voices. I have fingers crossed for a second series.

I disagree with Mr Roberstons review of this programme.

Scotland has produced many fantastic comedy programs like Scotch and Wry, Rab C Nesbitt, Naked Video, Only An Excuse, Chewing The Fat, Still Game and now LEGIT. Personally I thought LEGIT was fantastic and definitely on a par with the others. Instead of being subjected to the usual modern day 'politically correct' student humour, LEGIT brought us the slapstick element which is sadly so often missing from todays TV. Slapstick humour will never die, unlike certain others of genre which are simply 'boring' and aimed at the student age group. LEGIT had some great 'true to life' patter and 'real' situations in it. It wasn't dependant on catchphrases either which I found was a refreshing change. Well done to Steve McNicoll, Jordan Young and everyone else involved. My favourite scene from the series has to be Andy Grays appearance in episode one. I still laugh when I think about it.

For me LEGIT is Only Fools and Horses meets Laurel and Hardy. Those ingredients simply cannot fail.

Legit is a Scottish sitcom produced by The Comedy Unit, written by Robert Florence and Iain Connell. It is set in and around a market, where the main characters, Sammy Fox (Steven McNicoll) and Danny (Jordan Young) work. Fox has recently split up with his wife Kelly Ann and is living in a caravan in the back garden of Danny's mother, May (Clair Grogan). What follows is basically an attempt at a Glasgow version of "Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere", only with the jokes being replaced with the "Glesgae Banter". Only unlike the real thing none of the banter is funny. Frankly the only positive thing to say about it is at least it is not as bad as the Karen Dunbar Show.

Just goes to show that BBC Scotland will commission anything.

Scottish comedy has really come in to its own over the last few years . CHEWIN' THE FAT became an instant hit overnight and the spin off show STILL GAME was no less successful . Unfortunately this raises expectations about any comedy show that is produced by BBC Scotland . Even more unfortunate is the danger that the next TV show from north of the border will live down to the expectations of even the most cynical viewer . LEGIT is that show

The premise centres around a couple of lads who are into all type of scams and being lads they also have one eye on the ladies . Cue lots of near the knuckle jokes about shagging etc . There you go most of the alleged humour is vulgar . You could make the same criticism about STILL GAME but the difference is STILL GAME is funny whereas LEGIT is anything but . There's also another problem and that is the intrusive canned laughter . I take it that it's canned laughter because I find it impossible to raise even a smile as to what was on screen . Truth be told I thought I'd never start laughing . And I didn't
