One, two, buckle my shoe — the children’s nursery rhyme as you’ve never heard it before, by Scots comedian Limmy
04 April 2018
A techno take on a classic rhyme
One Two, Buckle my Shoe...
(Catch your breath: here’s a more traditional, sedate version from BBC School Radio — and relax!)
Limmy’s Homemade Show is comedian Limmy’s return to television for the first time in four years.
Self-shot in his home around his native Glasgow, it’s packed full of scenarios and observations which could only have sprung from his unique imagination.
Here are some more hilarious extracts from the programme:-
