Interview: Ford Kiernan, actor

Funnyman Ford Kiernan has gone straight-ish to play a journalist in a new telly drama so it seems reasonable to ask him how he feels when he's under the hack's scrutiny - about the kind of questions he gets asked and the one that always makes him want to gnaw on a bunch of beermats.

Ford Kiernan interview

Ford Kiernan says: "Some sections of the press seem to have an idea that Greg and I fell out. We didn't. We still talk. The BBC just ran a raft of reruns of Still Game and got phenomenal ratings, which we were very surprised about. The characters might come back. Nobody died, nobody got killed off."

The sitcom classic nobody's talking about

In execution Still Game is a thing of beauty, boasting elegant, well-honed writing and performances to cherish. Broad? Yes, it can be. Crude? At times, certainly. But it's all so nimbly done.
