Still Game
Still Game is a comedy based around the lives of pensioner pals Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade. It's set in and around a fictional part of Glasgow called Craiglang, and Jack and Victor's home in Osprey Heights. Focusing on the ironies and comedy of old age with humour, tenderness and pathos, these OAPS prove they're still game for anything the world can throw at them. The show enjoyes the highest viewing figures that any Scottish programme has seen in the last ten years. The third series first episode alone drew 1,520,100 viewers - 47% of Scotland's total viewing audience. This makes it the most watched BBC comedy in Scotland ever, outperforming even its parent show, Chewin' the Fat.After negotations with BBC London, Still Game will finally receive the UK-wide slot it deserves, as of series 4. (Previously, fans from south of the border have only been able to watch the series through Sky digital channel 941 or on DVD/VHS.)
Winston has a top secret project in the works and Isa is dead set to learn what it is. Youths are ruining Jack and Victor's experience at the park.
Winston fakes a leg injury to land himself some help around the house, but how long can he keep the ruse up? Jack and Victor help out a lonely widow.
Words don't come easy, but the world of books and a certain lady librarian have got Tam and Winston all of a-fluster. Yankee happy pills are proving more of a temptation to Jack and Victor though after they bump into their old pal Stuart.
Victor wins a car in an auction and him and Jack make the most of their newfound transport. Winston works on loosening Tam's penny pinching attitude.
Jack and Victor splash the cash after learning they have more money saved than expected, meanwhile a money lender has arrived in Craiglang and quickly builds up a client list. Winston and Tam play a high stakes golf contest.
Jack and Victor run Navid's store for him while he's out of the country, and quickly are locked in rivalry with a food van for customers. Healthy competition is harmless, but will this feud delve into sabotage?
To celebrate sixty years of friendship, Jack and Victor treat themselves to a day out in the town, but then a ghost from their past shows up.
Could Criaglang's most pathetic man be living a double life? Jack and Victor decide to investigate. Navid has a fox problem and enlists Shug's particular set of skills to help him.
A home video by Jack's daughter leaves him pondering whether to head out to Canada for a visit, even if that means leaving Victor behind in Scotland. Harry is back in town with old tricks, but Winston decides to scare him away for good.
