''Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'' was a BBC Television Comedy by Tiger Aspect Productions that ran for three series between 1999 and 2001. It was written by Jonathan Harvey . The theme song for this comedy was ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). ''Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'' stars Comedienne and Director Kathy Burke as loudmouthed London er Linda La Hughes. Linda is characterised by her red Perm , white glasses, and Lycra clad figure. While being boorish and unattractive Linda is convinced she is a "stunner". Linda shares a flat with Homosexual Actor Tom Farrell, played by James Dreyfus . Tom is melodramatic yet fails in his desire to get acting roles. Although they appear to loathe each other Tom and Linda are beholden to each other due to the simple fact that nobody else can stand them. They are in many ways very alike, selfish, unsuccessful, and physically and personally unattractive. The hapless duo live in a ), a man who both Tom and Linda lust after, and his wife Suze ( Beth Goddard ), a horny corny couple. Another returning character (Series 1 Ep.4/Series 2 Ep.1) is Sugar Walls ( Elaine Lordan ), Linda's superstar sister. Guest appearances have been made by Simon Shepherd , Su Pollard and Rose Keegan . Much of ''Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'''s humour sprang from its lubricious Innuendo subplot, which sprung from the mouths of both Tom and Linda.
