Back to top Synopsis

Kathy Burke is in fine form as the luscious Linda La Huges, the self-described 'Auburn Jerry Hall', who lives her life trying to fend off romantic approaches from every man who sets eyes on her (or so she thinks!)

James Dreyfus is wonderful as Tom Farrell, the undiscovered acting genius gagging for his big break on the route to stardom. He dreams of being rescued from his dull existance by Peak Practice's Simon Shepherd, his knight in shining armour.

Gimme gimme gimme follows Linda and Tom as they try to put up with each other and find the perfect man. 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,

Back to top Gay Interest

Tom Farrell is a gay out-of-work actor with a sharp tongue and drama queen temperament.

 

Back to top Personal review

A hilareous tv-serie with lots of great quotes. Both of them are hoping for prince charming to come galloping in on a white horse while they sit in front of the tv and bitch about everything especcially each other.

Linda: I should've been black. It's only a fluke of nature that I weren't.

Linda (yelling at the telly): Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? What a rip off! Phone a friend? What if you haven’t got any friends?

Linda (on herself): I’m naturally funny. D’you know, sometimes I walk down the street and people just burst out laughing.

Linda: Oh my God who’s that gorgeous creature? Oh my God it’s me!
