Still Game | comment |
A Scottish Sitcom, Still Game follows the misadventures of pensioner pals Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade, as well as the rest of the community of the fictional Glasgow housing estate of Craiglang. Produced by The Comedy Unit and The BBC, the show was created and written by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, who also played Jack and Victor respectively.The origins of Still Game go back to the Scottish sketch show Pulp Video, which ran from 1995 to 1996 and featured future Still Game cast members Kiernan, Hemphill, Gavin Mitchell and Jane McCarry. One of the recurring sketches featured Kiernan, Hemphill and Mitchell portraying old men named Archie, Finlay and Winston. In 1998, Kiernan and Hemphill's characters, now renamed Jack and Victor, appeared in a series of skits in a satirical documentary about Scottish pop music called Och Around the Clock. In these, they are shown to be watching the various artists perform on television and criticizing them. The characters reappeared in Kiernan and Hemphill's sketch show Chewin' the Fat, nearly every episode of which featured Jack, Victor, Tam and Winston, with minor differences from their later counterparts in Still Game. When Chewin' The Fat came to an end in 2002, Still Game was given the go-ahead for its own series.Running for six series from 2002 to 2007, Still Game was based on a stage play starring Kiernan, Hemphill and Gavin Mitchell (who would later be replaced by Paul Riley; all four would have major roles in the television adaptation). The first, second and third series were originally broadcast in Scotland only but all further episodes were shown across the UK on BBC2 until the show concluded in 2007 due to disagreements between Kiernan, Hemphill and Paul Riley over control over their production company, Effingee Productions. Receiving very high ratingsnote The episode "Wummin" was watched by 4.11 million people—which is to say, more than 80% of the population of Scotland at the time and critical acclaim, Still Game dealt with a broad array of Black Comedy and poignant moments and is among the most popular Scottish television productions ever made.In October 2013, it was announced that Hemphill and Kiernan would be returning to make a new series. In the wait, a new stage play was released, followed by a short special made for Children in Need in 2014. The show was officially revived with the seventh series which aired in 2016. An eighth series aired in 2018 and it was announced later that year that a ninth was in production which would serve as the final series as Hemphill and Kiernan wanted to retire the characters. The ninth season premiered on the brand new BBC Scotland channel, with the final episode airing on March 28, 2019. The cast also performed several live shows as a last farewell to their characters in the autumn of 2019. | |

Crapsack World | |
Still Game / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Played for Laughs in Craiglang. Except for brief instances were it isn't, and the show shows how unpleasant living in somewhere as miserable and decrepit as Craiglang really is. Worse, it is strongly implied in the show that Craiglang isn't even the worst bit of Glasgow - Winston, for instance, whilst hating Craiglang, is horrified when the Housing Association try to move him to Deanhill ("Do I look like a junkie?") and Cravenwood ("Do I get a free shotgun with that, son?"). | |

Black Comedy | |
Still Game / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Gallows humour abounds on account of the ages of the characters. "Cauld" in particular runs almost entirely on this, as the plot concerns the pensioners trying to get through a bad Winter, Jack and Victor finding their friend dead in his flat, and the Clansman regulars running "hypothermia sweepstakes." The Stinger for "Gairden" has the Neds from earlier in the episode invade the rooftop garden, only for their dog to leap off the top of Osprey Heights when the leader throws a walking stick off the edge. The camera just lingers on Jack, Victor and Winston staring at the Neds, until Jack's eye twitches at the distant thud. Winston, however, makes a "there it is" guesture with his hand. | |

Isa's usually absent husband Harry Drennan is treated as this in the episodes which focus on him in some way. It's clear every main male character despises him for abandoning Isa and being a Disappeared Dad to their son Colin. Winston is particularly vocal about his hatred for the man in the episode "Scones". | |

Bilingual Bonus: Sort of. Meena Harrid speaks only in Hindi, but is usually subtitled - so the audience know what she's really saying, even when the rest of the characters are in the dark. And even when she isn't subtitled, it's always apparent from Navid's response what she was saying. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: In season 8, episode 5, "Pie", Tam befriends an elderly woman whose daughter (according to Tam) he went to school with. The woman is extremely wealthy, but not on good terms with her daughter. Tam being Tam, all the other characters assume he's trying to befriend her to get his hands on her money. In the end, it turns out he did convince her to change her will - and leave everything to the Cat Protection League, because the daughter, Cathy, drove over Tam's cat on her bicycle when they were children. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
Still Game / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Boabby the barman. He can be rather sarcastic to the locals, but he clearly cares about them. In particular, he's noticeably nicer to Isa than most of the pensioners, and doesn't like people taking advantage of her. And in series 7, it is revealed that Boabby also provided a cooked breakfast for Pete the Jakey every day for 20 years. He ends up winning a community service award for this. In "Who's The Daddy", Boabby states that he's been behind the bar of The Clansman since he was 18 years old, and has been looking out for the regulars every day of that, which Jack and Victor seem to agree with. He's also willing to go along with their scheme to prove Tam isn't actually dead in "Dead Leg". When Jack fakes a bad fall (so Victor can show off what they've learned from first-aid classes), Boabby's immediate reaction is to rush to help him. Jack and Victor, towards Isa. While they usually can't stand her gossiping ways and will often try to avoid being in a lift with her, they're the first to defend and try to comfort her if something bad happens to her, as seen in "Scones", "Hyper" and "Lights Out". | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Still Game / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: In the theatre version Jack and Victor had characteristics that were later applied to Winston and Tam respectively, with Jack being a much bigger Jerkass while Victor was more of The Scrooge. They also were not depicted as the Heterosexual Life-Partners that they would end up being. Jack's habits of rambling and using malapropisms are not as prominent in the early episodes. In Series 2's "Scran," Jack and Victor witness a man buying a gay porn magazine ("Big Cocks") at Navid's store, and make no effort to conceal their outrage and disgust. Later on, though, they seem to have a much more live-and-let-live attitude towards homosexuality, even managing to laugh it off fairly easily after they are Mistaken for Gay by most of Craiglang in "Hatch," from Series 4. Tam was always portrayed as being miserly and unapologetically greedy, but beginning with "Cairds," his actions became self-serving to a truly amoral degree, which in turn meant that he was more frequently depicted as The Friend No One Likes. An early episode suggests that Isa has a crush on Victor; for much of the rest of the series, her Belligerent Sexual Tension is with Winston. In earlier series, a common plot for Winston was his many attempts to make money dishonestly. This was largely toned down as the show went on, but is given a Continuity Nod in "Aff." Several early episodes show Tam being willing to part with money if it'll further a scheme to save money in the long run, in later episodes he'd instead try to find ways to cheat his way around having to do so. Tam is depicted as a relatively late adopter of Winston's "free leccie" in "Cauld", when later episodes, such as "Hyper", would have him practically foaming at the mouth at the idea of getting something free. | |

Butt-Monkey: Boabby The Barman, who can never get one up on Jack and Victor (or anyone else). It doesn't help that his name 'Boabby' is Glasgow slang for penis either. Or another gem: Later: Other times, they simply explain in detail why Boabby's patter is garbage, and give him advice on how to do better while acknowledging that he won't...because he's a prick. Winston to an extent, as well. Paul Riley (the actor who plays him) has stated that some of Winston's most ridiculous moments were written just to wind him up! | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Still Game / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Chewin' the Fat sketches show Jack and Victor looking and acting noticeably differently and living in different locations, while Victor has family in Canada instead of Jack. Going back to their first appearance in Pulp Video, Jack and Victor themselves had different names (Archie and Finlay) and Winston (played by Gavin Mitchell, who would later play Boabby) was portrayed as a frail, much older man with memory issues. The original theatre version has this trope out the wazoo: Stage!Jack has a beard, Stage!Victor shares many characteristics with Show!Tam, Stage!Jack is more like Show!Winston, and Stage!Winston is a more idealistic character, and everyone curses a lot more. Stage!Jack is also a proud veteran of the British Army, whilst in the show the two characters have no military experience beyond the 18 months of peacetime National Service common to their generation. The layout of the Clansman changed considerably when filming moved from a real pub to a specially created set. The pilot has several differences from the other episodes: John, Victor's son, is referred to as Jamie. Jack is said to be 74, which changes to 72 later on. Victor wears a flat cap similar to Jack's (although in white rather than grey), which was replaced with a trilby for the rest of the show. A scene in "Faimly," the show's second episode, has Victor break the fourth wall by saying "welcome" directly at the camera; this seldom happened afterwards (with the exception of the end of "The Party"). Fergie the Ned gets called Derek in an early appearance. Several lines in the first series suggest that Boabby is married and has a daughter; in later episodes he's single and childless. The first series may be more accurately described as a comedy-drama, as it deals with such topics as familial abandonment and approaching death in a fairly serious way ("Cauld" in particular is quite bleak). Starting with the second series, however, the show became more lighthearted as it increasingly focused on the quirks and comedic hijinks of the main cast. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
Still Game / int_561dab6b | comment |
In Series 2's "Scran," Jack and Victor witness a man buying a gay porn magazine ("Big Cocks") at Navid's store, and make no effort to conceal their outrage and disgust. Later on, though, they seem to have a much more live-and-let-live attitude towards homosexuality, even managing to laugh it off fairly easily after they are Mistaken for Gay by most of Craiglang in "Hatch," from Series 4. | |

Sickening "Crunch!": Happens a few times: The dog that leapt off the roof in the post-credits scene for "Gairden" lands with a faint one. Isa breaks her ankle after being hit by the "silver car" she was warned about. When waiting to get his new leg in "Kill Wullie", Winston is harassed by an annoying man who broke his wrist and won't believe that he lost his leg by smoking too much. When its Winston's turn, he makes sure the door slams on the man's broken wrist as he passes. | |

Knight of Cerebus: Isa's usually absent husband Harry Drennan is treated as this in the episodes which focus on him in some way. It's clear every main male character despises him for abandoning Isa and being a Disappeared Dad to their son Colin. Winston is particularly vocal about his hatred for the man in the episode "Scones". Winston's Arch-Enemy, Stevie the bookie, is also this when he flees Craiglang after Winston cleans him out. He continues to be in this after his return, when Winston and Tam uncover his Impersonation Gambit of being his supposed brother Frankie. Played for Laughs with I.D Sheathing, the new Undertaker in Craiglang, due to his politeness and a series of unfortunate coincidences. | |

Also, the refrigerator dropped on the red car Jack buys and drives Victor around in (two seconds after he's sold it to Tam). | |

Laborious Laziness: Tam admits in "Over The Hill" to having a complex system of figuring out what day a date will be based on where Christmas Day falls that year, purely so he could justify not having bought a new calendar since 1981. When he demonstrates, it fails. In "Hyper", Tam's reasoning for not replacing a barely functioning and extremely hazardous toaster that only ever burns things: spend ages trying to scrape the burnt sections off until it's edible. It electrocutes him. | |

Retcon | |
Still Game / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: The Hogmanay special "The Party," while widely considered to be one of the best episodes of the series, contradicts several previously established timelines. Most notably, the episode shows both Navid and Isa being introduced to Jack and Victor at the 1975 Hogmanay party, but in "Big Yin," it's implied that Navid arrived in Craiglang less than 15 years ago, while a flashback in "Who's The Daddy" shows Isa hanging around with Jack and Victor as young adults in the 1950s. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
Still Game / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: From the play: From the TV show: In "Scran," Isa talks to Vince the snack bar owner about his business going down the tubes. When Vince demands to know what's going on, Isa replies with "Oh, you won't catch me gossiping!" Aye right, Isa! In "Dial-a-bus," Isa comments about Davie the driver being so quiet: "He's normally so gabby. Gab. Gab. Gab. You cannae shut him up." Jack and Victor give her the appropriate expressions. In "Gairden," Isa confronts Winston about appearing like a half wit in front of Arthur and Jeannie who told her about the new park which Winston ordered her to keep quiet about. Winston comments about Isa being "raging." A bit rich coming from the hot-headed man who physically restrained her earlier in that same episode just to keep her quiet... twice. | |

Anti-Hero: Winston is often a Type I, though he sometimes crosses over into Type III areas. He can be petty and selfish, but balances this out with moments of support and kindness towards his grandson (one of them anyway) and Isa (the latter being all the more admirable given his dislike of her). The rest of the cast usually hover between Type I and Type II with occasional lapses into Type III, aside from Tam whose selfishness and greed are more in line with Type IV. | |

Shout-Out | |
Still Game / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several are done throughout the course of the series. Navid has many - his surname is "Harrid", a reference to the famous London department store "Harrods". But the longest runner is his wife, Mina, whose face is never seen, a reference to Maris Crane of Frasier fame. The TV series is filled with nods to the original theatre show. The later Hydro show also had Tam reading about A pensioner who kept £7000 in a hoover. "Down and Out" has several to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The nursing home manager is a toned-down Expy of Nurse Ratched, and Victor is Genre Savvy enough to spot it. Later, Navid escapes by throwing a sink through a window. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When it appears Winston has lost almost 30 grand in the bookie's, Tam, the biggest tight-arse in all of Scotland, offers to buy him a pint. Another one, again involving Tam, in the final episode of series 6 when Jack is in the hospital having surgery. Tam not only puts money forward for drinks for everybody in the tavern, but when Boabby tells him to put his money away, he flatly refuses to. Tam's reason for faking his death in "Dead Leg" is this: he wants Winston to take his life insurance to save his remaining leg, as an apology for his earlier insensitivity that broke their friendship. At the Clansman after Tam's fake funeral, Boabby quietly offers free drinks on the house, citing it as being in memory of him. "His final freebie." | |

In the theatre version Jack and Victor had characteristics that were later applied to Winston and Tam respectively, with Jack being a much bigger Jerkass while Victor was more of The Scrooge. They also were not depicted as the Heterosexual Life-Partners that they would end up being. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
Still Game / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted—there are several minor characters called Wullie: Wullie Napier, an old friend whom Jack and Victor find dead in his flat. Wullie MacIntosh, a frail man with a large birthmark who constantly forgets to return things he's borrowed. And the man with the same name as him whom the pensioners mistake him for when reading the obituaries. Wullie Reid, a Dirty Old Man who has flings with far younger women. The name Frankie is used twice: "Manky" Frankie, the disgusting bum who lives on a lower floor of Osprey Heights, and Frankie the Bookie, who is really Stevie the Bookie in disguise. | |

Identical Stranger | |
Still Game / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: The owner of the bar that Boabby visits in "Dial-A-Bus" looks a lot like him, and there are two regulars who are deadringers for Jack and Victor. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Still Game / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Tam, especially by Boabby when it comes to his many attempts to scam him into giving a free pint. He doesn't get barred from The Clansman until "Dead Leg", in the final season. | |

Still Game / int_f47bdd2a | comment |
Violent Glaswegian: The Neds. Peggy McAlpine probably counts as well, as does Mark (the aggressive candidate for quiz-master). Hell, every character qualifies for this at some point. | |
