Synopsis

Linda La Hughes (Kathy Burke) shares a flat with Tom Farrell (James Dreyfus). 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.

du04 Oh my god!! It never fails to amaze me the complete lack of a sense of humour people who comment on this show have if they hate it! This is one of the best sitcoms of all time i don't care what anyone says! Yes it's vulgar, yes, it's trashy but my god we're in need of good, fantastic acting and hilariously crude jokes with the amount of crap spouted by TV big wigs, and I do apologise America because i love you dearly but almost every American sitcom always has the same sugar-coated, happily ever after endings which is completely ridiculous as that would never happen in life all the time.What Gimme Gimme Gimme brings to it's audience is a good belly laugh, and a great way to pass the time, Kathy Burke is amazing and i've loved her in everything she has ever done. It's a shame this series has ended but i think James Dreyfuss new what he was doing pulling out before it went stale and now we can all enjoy the series on DVD, long live the memory of Tom & Linda!!!
Pratchettfan78 wow what a winning combination of actors to give one of the best series to date (counting Blackadder and Coupling as my other fav's) this series pushed back boundaries and pushed the envelope on so many levels i have favourite episodes i could pull out of a the box and watch again and again. Glad to be Gay has to be my all time favourite!!! Putting well known actors in was genius too i was in tears watching the Millennium episode the first time around in series 2. other series have tried and failed where this has triumphed to bring me back again and again to watch it...i may have to buy another copy soon if i keep watching it but its the only series to really cheer me up when i'm blue. If you love Kathy Burke i suggest you watch this as you will love her she is at her best in this show but then she is a class actress anyway...all hail Kathy Burke!
markcraig2003 gimme gimme gimme is one of the best comedy programmes on tvthe writing is brilliant and the performances are greatbut i must confess some of lindas comments make you want to cringe
ManchesterMatthew When I first watched this series I thought it was funny, but crude. Then I got hooked on it and religiously watched every episode. It's just so fresh and so funny. Kathy Burke has always been wonderful but this just shows off her many talents :)Excellent.
