Brazen viewers changed page in line with the events of last night's episode which saw Eric's past explored as he was killed off.

At 87, Jimmy Martin was the oldest of the actors on the hit BBC programme and, indeed, one of Scotland's oldest working actors. But, after admitting he was feeling the strain of the rigours of filming, he had asked to be written out of the show.
The Scotsman, 16th March 2018The news that the local undertaker has died and a creepy replacement has moved into town causes much commotion among the Clansman regulars. Nobody quite knows what to make of the new arrival, with Isa spreading stories that he could be the Grim Reaper himself. And despite their initial bravado, Jack and Victor are spooked when the man himself turns up in the pub.
The National (Scotland), 15th March 2018Five best moments from Still Game's Eric
From vomiting in Victor's car to having a wee accident in the Clansman, we look back at Eric's funniest moments in a tribute to one of Scotland's favourite TV pensioners.
Nicholas Keyden, Daily Record, 15th March 2018TV review: Still Game
Comedy's character dies but lousy gags will be the death of Still Game.
Alison Rowat, The Herald, 15th March 2018Still Game returned to our screens. It has something like a 70% penetration in Scotland and many fervent fans south of the border, and any random 30 seconds are still only 1,000,000% cleverer and funnier than any entire series of Mrs Brown's Boys, but I wonder if it's not in danger of beginning to run its course. It cantered through all the houses amiably enough - Boabby trying to gentrify The Clansman, jokes about lemongrass and insanely overpriced bottled beer - but cantered at very much one pace, one note, throughout. (Yes, I do appreciate that I've just invited 70% of Scotland to appear outside my nice New Town flat with pitchforks, torches and angry cries of "bawbag".)

In truth, it was a struggle to raise a smile in what was a long half hour. Isa and Navid replaced Jack and Victor as the show's funniest turns some time ago, and they kept the crown last night.

A welcome, hilarious return to Craiglang.
Nick Mitchell, i Newspaper, 8th March 2018What I'm looking for from the new series of Still Game
While rightly eager for the return of Still Game to our television screens, there are aspects of the show which could be improved to get it back to its best.
