Richard Smith I have noticed that a few other reviews have been commenting on how people south of the border (the English) will not relate too or understand this Scottish comedy? However I am an Englishman living on the south coast of England (which is probably as far south as you can get from Scotland on mainland Britain) and I am an absolute Still Game fanatic! I have been brought up on virtually all of the British gems of the comedy world i.e Only Fools & Horses, Men behaving badly, Open all Hours, Porridge e.t.c so I was therefore a little surprised and sceptical when my best mate recommended a Scottish comedy called Still Game which hardly anyone in England had heard of, including me. One episode later and I was hooked! For me Still Game in terms of humour was not worlds apart from virtually all the other British Comedies whether they originated from the South or North of the border, I could personally see elements of humour & comedy that could appeal to fans of 'Only Fools & Horses' right the way through to fans of 'Men behaving badly' and all the other comedies in between.Next to the humour, the acting is superb with clever story lines and quotes that define it as a true gem. I only wish I could have followed this sitcom from the very beginning but unfortunately for some reason or another Still Game was never aired on English primetime TV (which seemed a bit stupid seeing as how England accounts for most of the BBC's viewers).

rstout3526 This extremely fine & funny Scottish comedy series is seldom seen or noticed or even promoted south of the border. Very much underrated in England. Reason probably is that the pinheads who run the BBC these days do not understand the Glasgow dialect or appreciate what the series says. They still have their heads into carp like the Vicar of Dibley. Truth is that Scotland consistently produces some of our finest comics and writers. The Big Yin excluded, the roots of Still Game comes from the earlier Absolutely and Chewin the Fat series. Scots produced but fielding numerous English, welsh & other performers. Still Game has grown over the six series to become a very warm hearted and lovable must. You can watch the episodes over and over again without loss. The characters just grow on you. Apart from the two main characters, Isa the gob, Tam, Navid, Booby the barman and the excellent Winston really shine. The best description I have heard of the series is: it's similar to Last of the summer wine - but funny! 'thebrokendrum' comments posted earlier are as expected from a scouser. Afteral scousers are famed for thinking themselves as the funniest, best music, best football etc etc. Well boys - you are not! You have the worst accent, the poorest comedy, football is mediocre et al. But you do have the biggest mouths and, above all, you kept the shellsuit fashion going well into the 21st century. Well done. In a region where the standard accepted local currency is stolen videos/cars/you name it - any comments on Still Game should be read with caution. Ken Dodd, Jimmy Tarbuk - hah.

Deputy_Dog Got to be the best laugh on TV since Red Dwarf. This is a refreshingly welcome comedy that had me rolling in stitches I thought I'd split open. With the drivel that is plaguing our screens for last few years, such as My Family or The IT Crowd to name but two, Still Game brings us right back to the standard of Fools And Horses. Here you'll find that like comedies such as Fools and Horses or Dads Army the characters are as important to the comedy as is the script. Thank God for Scottish humour.I wish I'd known about this in the first series instead of the third, now I'll have to see if my sides can take watching them on DVD.
