Still Game

Apart from being hilariously funny, this show does something very different and that is, it makes you care about the characters. It's superbly written, tight and brilliantly cast. You end up getting invested to the point where the final episode will break your heart, but you'll love it just the same. I absolutely recommend you take the time to love it too.

Well written. Sharp quick wit and clever scenarios you wouldn't expect from "old pensioners". Brilliant characters so well played you couldn't imagine these actors being anyone else but who they play. Every episode is good and it quickly became one of my favorite shows.

Every season!! Hilarious!! I just hope theres more to come!!!!!

Not since Francie & Josie has a series been so profound and loved. A very warming and funny show that endears. Brilliant writing, superb acting, sound characters, great dual story lines. Whenever a new series is screened I have that fear that this will be the last. But it grows and grows, as does it's characters. My one fear is that some London pinhead will tempt the lads into making a cinema version. Please don't do it lads - we Brits can produce superb TV but we are carp at the big screen. The movie often kills the TV show. Keep the formula going on the small screen, make the occasional diversion to an earlier age - like Jack & Victor as teddy boys or middle aged or even as youths - but keep the series going. The BBC don't give this series fair space or promotion south of the border - why I don't know? Search eBay or Amazon and they are loaded with DVD's of the series. You can buy the Vicar of Dibley or Last of the Summer Wine or Only Fools & Horses & similar guff for pennies. Still Game remains a premium buy at home and abroad. Oz and NZ love it. When Greg & Kiernan appeared as guests on Radio Five Live earlier this year it was clear to all that the presenter hadn't a clue who they were. Shocking.

Very few TV series, drama or comedy, get better as the episodes continue over prolonged series. This is up there with Father Ted - Fools and Horses - Dads Army as a memorable comedy series of high calibre. I love Rab C Nesbitt and Still Game has the mix of characters expounding their philosophical prowess from the working class "council estate" rough and ready's. The characters are brilliant, back stabbing, yet strong as a community with sharp humour. Every single actor is brilliant. Isla (the female gossip) deserves an Oscar. This would get an 11 if I could give it. Great series, hilarious and clever.
