...are actual pensioners and not still youngsters with energy. But, as with all close friendships things do tend to boil over, especially when women are involved, (including a very comical incident when Jacks fall for the lady in one of the shops).

...approach, but underneath the humour the topic of conversation is probably relevant to all who are watching… So as the series continues, opening the doors to many situation for the town folk of Craiglang and the hardships they face, Victor and Jack simply moan on with a humorous attitude what ever life throws at them… and it looks like life has a hell of a sense of humour when Jack, Victor and Winston are involved, forcing them to deal with everything ...

Review of Still Game - Series 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

...behind. The way in which Still Game is written is superb, with a laugh around almost every corner. Scottish comedy has rarely been as good as this, its simply a joy to watch. One of Still Game's strong points is the detail of all of the characters and the way in which this is revealed to the viewer. It is really easy to relate to them and the dialogue between characters is fantastic. Some of the supporting characters include Winston Ingram played ...
...What really makes Still Game a joy to watch is how the characters interact with each other. They almost make you feel like you are part of the community and can join in with their antics. Some of the situations Still Game explores are easy to relate to and make it that much more enjoyable to watch. I recommend it to any comedy fan who is looking for something original that will satisfy their need to laugh! You do not want to miss out on this comedy ...

Finally the complete set of is available having watched this on TV I bought it as soon as it became available.

It follows the adventures of Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade, with many friends, Winston the booky addict, Isa the gossip, Navid the Indian shopkeeper with the Scottish accent, Tam the penny pincher, Boaby the ...
