“Cauld” remains my go-to episode if I haven’t watched Still Game for a while, and I’ve probably seen it more than any other. It’s another episode with some of the series’ most memorable lines as well as a good story to it.
Jack’s “and wur arseholes” retort to Winston, as well as the above detective work, are two comments/lines that are consistent with Jack’s character for the vast majority of the series; he’s a bit naïve, not exactly stupid but certainly not quite as clever or quick-witted as Victor and Jack often needs his pal to correct him or even ‘bring him back to earth’ when he starts to go off on a tangent.
