Gimme Gimme Gimme

"This is Will and Grace, on cocaine, in a parallel universe."

- Amazon.co.uk's review of the first series boxset

A Sit Com about a gay man rooming with a straight woman. Sound familiar?. Here, they are called Tom and Linda.

The main differences are:
 * It's British
 * Both leads are Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists... actually maybe that isn't so different.
 * Linda is unattractive. (No, not Hollywood Homely).
 * They live in a run down grotty flat, that they rent from an ex-prostitute. Not a plush apartment.
 * They hate each other. But bond over the fact that, pretty much, no-one else can stand either of them.

Came forty-eighth in Britains Best Sitcom. Named after the ABBA song, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man after Midnight)".

This show provides examples of:

 * Britcom
 * Camp Gay - Tom
 * Citizenship Marriage - At one point, Tom marries an American Lesbian so she can stay in the country.
 * Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace - Subverted, they get to the that part of the ceremony everyone gasps and looks expectantly at Linda; who has been objecting to the whole thing. She doesn't object and just moans at them to get on with it.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist
