Gimme Gimme Gimme

Created by Jonathan Harvey

On BBC One, BBC Two

A brash, campy British sitcom built on the friction between two incompatible flatmates, sustained by absurdist humour and sexual innuendo rather than warmth.

Linda La Hughes shares a flat with Tom Farrell. Linda is overweight, loudmouthed and not particularly attractive. She thinks she's gorgeous and irrestible, however. She's also sex mad and obsessed with men. Tom is an aspiring actor. He's got an agent, but finds it difficult to get parts. He doesn't like Linda much, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the fact that they share a flat. She isn't completely comfortable with his homosexuality, perhaps because she finds it difficult to live with a man who doesn't find her sexually attractive.
