Still Game: Live 2 Bon Voyage

When Jack and Victor take to the stage and insist that there will be less spectacular effects than at their first Hydro residency in 2014, you just know that the opposite will be true. So, when Navid, Isa, Winston, Boaby and Tam make their entrances, it's via increasingly daring stunts that have the adoring throng in raptures.

Still Game: Live 2 review - hilarity ahoy

When does a sitcom get too big for its boots? It's a worry that must have crossed the minds of Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill on returning to the hangar-like Hydro where, in 2014, Still Game played to 210,000 people in 21 nights.

There's something surreal about seeing the TV escapades of Jack and Victor in a venue where bouncers guard the stage and the audience needs two giant screens just to see what's happening. Undaunted, they've come back with a show of even greater ambition - and just as many laughs.

Review: Still Game Live 2 at the SSE Hydro

Despite a rousing standing ovation from the huge crowd, I'd be willing to bet that I wasn't alone in thinking that three hours of this particular voyage was just a little more than enough.

Still Game Live 2 review

Showbiz is full of people going on journeys, most of them tedious. Not this one. Book your passage.

Still Game to return to TV

Hit Scottish sitcom Still Game is to return to TV for a new series. Creators Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill are working on six new episodes for BBC One.

British Comedy Guide, 12th May 2016

Narrated by Jack Docherty, this lovely one-off programme gathers various Scottish comedians and asks them to reminisce about our Hogmanay traditions.

"Ye cannae see in the New Year with a messy hoose," my Gran always says, insisting that if you start the New Year in a mess then you'll remain so. That's the tradition this programme opens with: the need to have the place spick and span to greet the New Year, and we're mocked for boasting about our Hogmanay housewifery. "Whit, ye've hoovered?", says Des Clarke. "That's something you should be doing regularly!" Nonetheless, we boast about the dusting because it makes us feel part of the celebration.

"Officer Karen" from Scot Squad talks of opening the door to let the old year out - something which is rarely welcome as it also means letting the cold in, whilst Jane McCarry recalls wandering the streets and looking up at tenement windows to see where the loudest noise and brightest lights were coming from - then you'd simply walk up and gatecrash. "There were nae buzzers in those days" so it was easy.

All these Scottish traditions are compared with others from around the globe, but the verdict is that ours are the best.
