Don't get me wrong, I like Still Game and think it should be better known, but this kind of thing seems to me an understandable if not regrettable consequence of fragmenting the Beeb to appease regionalists.
Fair point - if it hadn't been shown UK wide and restricted to Scottish viewing. However that's not the case here.
You don't 'promote' a previously regionalised programme to the UK network without bothering to do any advertising, no chat show interviews with the cast, trailers,
tv mag features, nothing, UNLESS there is an element of anti......bias.
