Not seen this mentioned on CaB, even though it has been on iPlayer for a while.

I happened across Chris Mcqueer Hings yesterday and found them most amusing in a lavatorial gross out way. They seem to have come out of some short stories he published on Twitter which led to a couple of books. BBC Scotland have put up three very short (five minutes or so) films that are more than a sketch but less than an episode.

Worth a look if only to spend 15 minutes of your time and have made me keen to hunt out the books.

Anyone else caught them?

Thanks for mentioning these. I've not seen them but I've seen Chris McQueer do live readings which are very entertaining (he's a regular on the Scottish literary scene both in and beyond LGBT circles, and well worth catching) and I've read a bit. Some of his stuff is very entertaining (and not incomprehensible for non-Scots).

They were good but I would've preferred longer episodes

That would have been good for me too, however  I read in the Guardian recently (so it must be true) that the entire yearly budget for the whole BBC Scotland was £32 Million. Although that seems like a lot of money to mere mortals, in telly making terms, I guess that doesn't go very far.
