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.)
A new bookie is in town, or so he claims, as Winston suspects an old rival has returned under a new identity. Jack and Victor more than get their money's worth at a distillery.
A selfless offer between turns hectic as Jack and Victor volunteer to renovate Isa's flat for free and quickly learn they're out of their depth. An embarrassing tape of Boabby is making the rounds in Craiglang.
Jack wants to do something unforgettable for Victor's 75th birthday, so borrows a dinghy from Shug and takes Victor on a trip down the Kernel river. The day starts lovely, but turns unforgettable for the wrong reasons.
The Clansman's customers get to play the role of badasses as a TV producer comes to town looking for pubs with a mean streak. Navid has a midlife crisis and also gets around town.
Winston has had enough of Craiglang and eyes up a relocation to the coast. Jack and Victor land themselves a chauffeuring gig for a wedding.
Jack and Victor decide to give Winston a surprise visit at his brand new home, and learn all's not what Winston told them.
Jack and Victor face a miserable New Year when they become trapped in a lift at Osprey Heights. Winston recalls the daddy of all Hogmanays, in the dim and distant past when Craiglang knew how to throw a party.
