Episode 1 of 6

A trendy coffee shop has an original way of serving a cappuccino, and a high street boutique delivers questionable sartorial advice to a confused punter.

Burnistoun returns for a third series and expect even more weird and wonderful characters as the net is cast ever wider to expose the comic goings on in the, thankfully fictitious, Scottish town Burnistoun.

In episode one, we pop into a trendy coffee shop that has an original way of serving a cappuccino, the proprietor of a business specialising in wooden pallets gives us his idea of a sophisticated sales pitch in a specially made TV ad, and a high street boutique delivers questionable sartorial advice to a confused punter.

One of Burnistoun's youngest inhabitants escapes punishment for being late for school thanks to an inventive note from his dad, while a lecturer from Burnistoun University instructs us in the proper snide looks for different occasions. And while one Burnistoun punter walks round the world, another doesn't even make it across town because of his argumentative satnav.

Returning characters include 'quality polis' McGregor and Toshan who misuse a breathalyser, Jolly Boy John with another YouTube-style clip from his bedroom, and pals Peter and Scott fighting over Twitter.
