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.)
When a cafe worker starts dating a much older man, Isa senses a conspiracy and fears a murder is nigh. Winston begins life with his new prosthetic leg.
When Tam goes away on holiday Jack and Victor take over from him as D.Js running the local hospital radio service and acquire themselves quite a fan club. this does not include Navid who ends up in hospital with a delicate problem.
Jack, Victor, and Isa are in the wrong place at the wrong time when a bus driver has a mental breakdown behind the wheel. Boabby goes cycling and Winston runs the Clansman in his absence, only without Boabby's knowledge.
Tam proposes to Francine and so a wedding is on the cards in Craiglang, but it may all go wrong if Jack and Victor can't rescue the ring from an embarrassing spot.
Jack and Victor just want to watch some television, but a misunderstanding from Isa leads to Craiglang wrongly believing they're a gay couple. Winston looks after his uncontrollable grandson.
The Clansman is under threat of demolition by a property developer, but the key to saving it may lie in a shock familial connection. There's a big mystery afoot and only a couple days to solve it.
Christmas is looming but Winston gets conned by a ned into buying a turkey so fresh it's still alive, Tam devises his own means of delivering Christmas cards for Frances and Jack and Victor are left out in the cold when they offend Isa, who usually supplies their Christmas dinner. Are there consolations to be had by joining the pensioners in the Community Centre?
