tuckfinite The Drew Carey Show was better and that was an occasional time killer. The acting isn't particularly professional. IMBD ratings are becoming a negative indicator.

jlangford-3 I think it is important to begin by stating that I was dubious about any show made since the influence of American television on the British Isles. But this is Scottish! Perhaps the independence of Scottish spirit buttresses their humour against the negative influence of U.S. productions. The writing is brilliant in the sense that, unlike American TV, little, if any, is predictable. The timing is spot on and the laugh tracks are in sync with the punchlines instead of used as a constant background. Witty is the best one word description I could use to entice others to give the show a chance. The visual expressions combine with subtlety to present the kind of humour I thought was lost on television. Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy television, once again.

scotsexile13 The funniest thing coming from the UK comedy world at the present time.Every moment of this show is hilarious even when making some excellent point about old age, poverty and being alienated from the ephemeral trends of society. Tremendous use of Scots, slang and swearing – maybe the spark for Catherine Tate's grandmother – hard for a few to get, but worth sticking with -you 'will' get it. I guess not for you if you think Friends is the pinnacle of comedy, but a classic for those who don't…If you're an American 'Scat' then get these DVD's this is much more about your old country than 'Braveheart' and not a splash of woad around.10 out of 10Stevo

VictorianCushionCat Still Game is an absolute little gem of a comedy taking Victor and Jack from their sketch's in 'Chewin the Fat'into the wider world of fictional Glasgow scheme estate Craigland.Victor and Jack are two elderly widowed gentlemen living in a grim world of scraping by on their pensions trying to keep warm in their high storey flats. But they make sure they make the most of their situation and it's pretty inspirational stuff.The best laughs come from the other characters, crafty Winston, gossip Isa, shopkeep Naveed, barman Boaby etc, plenty of good story lines and sharp put downs make for the type of show where if you buy the DVD you watch one episode and keep on until the end, then go out and buy the another series Sadly on the network the BBC has seen fit to screen only a select few episodes. Okay the accents and certain jokes/references require a knowledge of Scottish culture/dialect but like Rab C Nesbitt the comedy is strong enough to shine through.The laughs are often dark, and set amongst the bleak black drops of old age, poverty, crime, loneliness you name it! But like say 'One foot in the Grave' it is adept at handling serious situations then bringing us back to the comedy with just one hot line. For a spot of spirit in adversity look no further.
