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.

Still Game star Mark Cox said he doesn't get intimidated playing to 10,000 punters a night at the Hydro - because he can't see them.
Paul English, Daily Record, 9th December 2016The revived Scottish sitcom reaches the end of its current series. Jack and Victor enjoy spectating when one of the neighbouring blocks of flats is demolished, as part of the ongoing regeneration of Craiglang. However, when the demise of their own is announced, they think they have landed on their feet: theirs for the taking is temporary accommodation at the wonderful Braemar Care Home. Suffice to say, things don't go according to plan.
