So has anyone seen it - dont know if being aired in England - if not have a look on BBC iplayer.

It is total car crash TV, but sooooooooooooooooooooo funny. I love it, but am totally gutted it has been postponed for the near future as some of the ASBO's on the show are in court and the stuff on the prog will interfere with the case

It is the talk of everyone here - I actually did one of my teaching placements at uni in that town and my sis' BF is from Darvel - just along the road from where it is filmed. Plus couple of people from my work are from the town - not that part of the town right enough, but very close.

As Marvin would say "happy as Larry, happy as f****** larry" hehehehehehe

What a shame - it is truly hilarious in a sad kind of way. It is about a housing scheme in Kilmarnock ( generally council housing, although some bought). It is all true and real life families.
So far we have met a family where the parents were in and out of the jail, but have cleaned their lifes up and are now fighting to stop their kids following their footsteps. They can hardly feed themselves at times, but always have a fag in their mouth.
Marvin the junkie, andhis 18 year old junkie girlfriend who is just out of the jail. His dog Bullet who keep running away. No wonder if you ask me! Marvin headbutted his gf, but he didnae mean it according to her.
Then we have this woman who takes in all the waifs and strays to live with her and her 2 daughters. She spends all day in bed smoking, and it is the homeless people she looks after who take the youngest to school ( she is only 5) Hilarious when the cameras film the 5 year old and she says things like " she is a pure mong" ( refering to on e of the homeless girls) or when she lifts the massess of comdoms, and says to the camera "ma maw doesnae think I ken what these are, but I do" Poor wee soul!
And then the family who are fighting to re-instate the local community centre - the only sensible ones so far.

Loads of fighting in the street, shouting and swearing - all in very broad Ayrshire accents. Bit embarrassing for us Scots, but like I say total train wreck TV that is compulsive watching. If you ever get the chance to see it watch it.

no its not shown here - must be bbc scotland.

Sounds really funny from the way you've explained it Fee. That poor little soul! Kian is 5 & would have no idea what a condom was It's a shame that some kids have parents who obviously don't give a toss about them!

I might have to see if I can find it on IPlayer!

Won't watch it as it basically makes the whole of Kilmarnock look like nedsville! The programme has just picked the worst families in that scheme. I'm sure they could find enough neddy families in our scheme to make the show, but they only make up about 5% of over 120 houses in this street.

And mine - my neighbours hehehehehehehehehe
I know Killie well ands know it only shows the worst but still really funny - in a cringy kind of way to think that these people only live about 20 mins from me (approx 20 or so miles)
It is the talk of my school. And my sis' bf thinks he has seen some of the "stars" when he been around Killie eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
