Still Game & Best Bits

I thought it was OK, 6/10 level. Couple of good ad-libs and some nice references but a lot of it very signposted. Ideal for a half-pished Saturday night at the Hydro. 

I do think the Chewin the Fat bits were the best which possibly shows how much SG had run it's course.

I get that it's not serious, but even with that I thought there was one huge clanger

Spoiler

why is Naveed as a devout Muslim (even refuses alcohol in the afterlife) sent to the Christian version of heaven with St Peter etc, I assumed there was a gag coming that he couldn't get in and they'd have to sort it with God but it never happened.

Pretty much my thoughts. The whole Beyonce bit after the interval was the funniest bit.

Agree with your spoiler, was waiting for something to happen with that

Just seen the live show and enjoyed it.

 

Helped greatly by the fact that I was moved from the God's down to the 10th from front row and included in the start of the show.

 

Top hat, beefy bake and a can of Fusilier as a souvenir [emoji23]

Ohhh you jammy bugger! I'm assuming they also gave you a giant, obnoxious foam finger and told you that if anyone around you complained you could shove it up their arse?

Went there today for the afternoon showing, thought it was very good overall. The crowd interaction at the start was great, as was the stuff with the interpreter for the deaf. The recurring stuff about Boabbie and his, ah, handy antics was generally pretty funny ("actions speak louder than words" and the accompanying gesture 😂)

Genuinely felt a tinge of sadness right at the end, too.

Brilliant stuff. 

Final show this evening.

Been rewatching the lot of late and think I have been harsh saying it totally lost its way as Im now on series 7 and still enjoying it. 
Been watching series 8 on Netflix and the drop off from the first run is massive for me. It used to be clever and funny with a decent story line behind it but now it just comes across as forced jokes that aren't particulalry funny and pish story lines. The episode with the walking football is cringe worthy at times with the standard of acting from the extras and more minor characters. I also don't think HD Does it any favours either

Yeah only watched up to episode 2 of 7 and you can tell its got more slap stick but still laughing at it. Although methadone mick has turned up now which has soured it. He was ok In the episode tbh, a decent wee cameo but should have been left at that. 

Eta - As for HD l, absolutely baffling to use it. Bizarre doing it for actors who are caked up in make up to portray an age they are nowhere near, doesn’t do anybody any favours.

Been watching series 1 on BBC Scotland, it's on at 10pm on s Friday night. The first 3 series were consistently good, felt from series 4 onwards it was a bit more hit and miss. Don't know why but they showed the episodes out of order, Faimly was on last Friday, with one of the best after closing titles scenes.

On the back of Little Britain and Come fly with me being removed from Netflix, are we expecting to see the episode “Doactors” removed considering how the episode ended?
