There's also a frank and forthright exchange of views between two Burnistoun MSPs; a distinct lack of female punters at the local pub's ladies night; and home truths are on offer as the Burnistoun residents debate the finer points of acceptable patter.

Elsewhere, wannabe pop star Kelly McGlade makes a shock announcement to her bandmates - she's sick of sharing the limelight and wants to go solo. But her music career might be short-lived thanks to another Burnistoun resident...

And salesmen brothers Dougie and Duggie Flapps, specialists in dog flaps and flat caps, cause confusion with their unique sales technique.
