Style and influences

I'm not sure if or when I might get back to this, but I think a section about the shows style and its influences might be useful and would improve the articles's quality. Robert Florence's profile lists Fry and Laurie, Tim and Eric, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, Morecambe and Wise, Spike Milligan as influences but I think a wider discussion of where it is placed in relation to other current sketch comedy, as well as scottish shows past and present. Might be useful. I see all sorts of stuff in there, form Naked Video and Absolutely (like the use of musical junctions and songs) to more character-based stuff that might even sit within sit-com, like Scott and Peter. It would be nice to see if there was any real agreement about what those stylistic and influence markers are before starting a section. Any thoughts? ds 11:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Illuminatusds (talk • contribs)

Title music

The title music is the ending of a song called 'Thurso' by Scottish Band Over the Wall. I don't know how to actually verify this but I know it is by using my ears lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.152.63 (talk) 00:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

What's with this? "Burnistoun is a comedy sketch show broadcast by BBC Scotland, written by the Scottish comedians Iain Connell and Robert Florence." Florence is English (Mancunian). O0drogue0o (talk) 09:58, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oops, never mind—Florences personal page is confusing. O0drogue0o (talk) 10:01, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
