Seeing the Final Farewell, I do wonder if the Still Game cast will be putting forward a bid for the Christmas Number 1 single this year; by the interval I wasn’t sure if I was in the SSE Hydro or on Broadway.

What follows makes Isa’s magic-mushroom trip from the 2014 revival look positively restrained. The rulebook is thrown out, as is any semblance of reality. In a way it’s understandable – why not play with expectations when the audience is this far onside? When even the mere mention of the M&D’s Theme Park raises a laugh, and the word ‘boggin’ can just about serve as a plot point? Hard core fans may need to reach for their tissues at the end. It was a lovely sentiment and one that audience members may find a bit emotional; it had the charm of earlier Still Game episodes and was a welcomed break from the OAP fondling seen previously. The sixth series of Still Game ended on BBC Two on 23 August 2007. A Christmas special was aired on BBC One Scotland on 23 December and for the rest of the UK on BBC Two on 28 December. There was also a Hogmanay special called "Hootenanny" aired on BBC One Scotland, later aired to the rest of the UK on 2 January 2008. Coronation Street Golden anniversary collection 12 disc box set.

Starting from series four, the episodes were titled using standard English, so that general audiences could understand them.The Craiglang mantra is, “he who hingeth aboot getteth heehaw,” and with the show only being on until the 13 th of October, you’re best seeing it soon to prevent the Isa in your life from ruining all the banter. It seems strange to finally say goodbye to Glasgow’s favourite oldies. In 2014, they said their Hydro show was a one-off, yet they took a leaf out of Cher’s book and returned much to fan’s delight. But, But, with a six-figure audience expected to see the show in total, it seems like a fitting farewell to one of the best comedy sitcoms in Scotland. A wealthy, fatherless British clan kidnaps bums and hippies and forces them to participate in an elaborate role-playing game in which they are the perfect family; those who refuse or attempt escape are ritualistically murdered.

Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill and Paul Riley's company Effingee Productions is thought to have split up after Riley walked away to go it alone after being refused more control over the future of the company by Kiernan. Hemphill stated that he didn't want a "boardroom battle". The split ultimately resulted in the indefinite hiatus of the series. [3] The show makes many self-aware jokes about being PC, however, one thing it certainly isn’t is PG. I found myself cringing on more than one occasion. Imagine having a conversation with your granny about sex, throw in some crude sound effects, add in some X-rated filth from supposedly religious figures and you wind up with something that’s more embarrassing than funny. Oh, and why not throw in a cameo from the ghost of a known child sex offender too just to add to the uncouth?In 2006, Still Game was once again nominated for a BAFTA Scotland award for the "Most Popular Television" category. Other contenders included Rebus and Taggart. [38] Paul Riley, who plays Winston, was also awarded for his role in the show. [39]

A fleeing gangland flunky (Michael Moriarty) finds the New York nest of Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, the man-eating flying serpent. It all goes over well enough in the room, but essentially feels like an unpolished vaudeville routine; plenty of laughs, but not much to string it all together.

For the show's first three series, the broadcast of Still Game was limited to BBC One Scotland. The show was then moved to BBC Two for the fourth series and shown throughout the UK. On 28 December 2005, the first Christmas special was shown on BBC One, the first national broadcast of the show on the channel. A fifth series of the show started filming in February 2006 and was shown the following June on BBC Two. As of 2006, series three had not been shown nationally, and only five episodes from the first two series were shown on national BBC Two from 17 January to 14 February 2004. The second series was shown nationally from 10 July 2008. This meant it was listed as a new series in TV listings, even though it was not new for Scottish viewers.
