Classic comedy.

I recently forced a friend to watch an episode much against his better judgement but once he tuned into the humour, he was laughing out loud. Great. Another Still Game convert. Personally, I can re-watch episodes and still find them funny.

Craiglang Redux
Review date: 2006-05-28 Rating: 8 out of 10
Still Game has gone from strength to strength as a comedy. This, its third series, is no exception. In fact, it's my favourite among all six. What I like about this one most is the how that other characters in Craiglang have moved to the center stage.
Nowhere is this truer than the first episode, 'Hoaliday.' The way we see Jack and Victor is altered because we see the episode through Jack's daughter as much as through Jack and Victor. It has to be the most moving episode of the series yet. It compares and contrasts Craiglang and Canada (where writer Greg Hemphill, who plays Victor, spent his formative years) with considerable care and humour. See the last scene of the show as The Clansman's regulars pass tacky souvenirs around at The Clansman to see what I'm talking about.
'Swottin' is another series highlight. Here, we see J & V's attempts to learn 'medical proficiency' at Glasgow University (Where Greg Hemphill used to be Rector). Why First Aid, not the legal profession? Jack answers: 'Naw - we'd be deid by then.' The boys discover cheap beer and a pickled boaby, with hilarious resuilts. Meanwhile at The Clansman, Boabby (the man who 'couldnae get his hole in a barrel o' fannies') decides to hold on a quiz night. But he's got his eye on The Clansman's foxy new barmaid...
'Big Yin' sees veteran actor Clive Russell playing Big Innes who, like Shug in series 1, has a larger-than-life ability. The Neds are terrorising Craiglang, and Innes's is summoned to sort them out. Yet this modern-day Samson has a flaw: 'Whatever you do,' his wife warns the boys, 'Don't give him Miduri...' The episode is my choice for the best one of the series.
'Oot' features guest star Sylvester McCoy as Archie, a reclusive hermit who's forced to leave the flat in which he has lived for over half a century in almost total seclusion, with suprising results. Jack and Victor take him in and introduce him to the joys of modern Glasgow, cheesy burgers, and The Clansman.
'Aff' sees the long-awaited appearance of Victor's uncaring son, John. Will things go as smoothly for Victor, as a prank horribly backfires? And, for once, Winston has a legitimate complaint for the social office: ('How would ye like to get yir tongue roond those tootsies?')
Still Game's comedy is as true and real as ever, never hankering after Relevance.
