Bunny Munro Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Strange. I'm glad it's over for another 18 months or so but I'm sure I'll watch the next lot when the come around. As for this weeks Spoiler It was 4/10. Some decent laughs (Philip Schofield, lassie bit my ****** off, the undertaker waving as Boaby is being driven past in terror). But an awful lot of filler. Mick (and the need to shoehorn him into every episode) needs put to rest, and the whole 'Boaby can't drive' story was dire.

peter_hmfc Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Only watched it because it was the last episode of the series so I thought I might as well. They truly saved the worst for last, an absolute horror-show of an episode. Sometimes I laugh once at most but ****, there was literally nothing in there even remotely funny. The show is absolutely dead now, to say they are flogging a dead horse is a massive understatement. Atrocious. Who actually finds this stuff funny?

Homme Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Really enjoyed last night's one. Last week's was terrible. All in all, another half decent series. It'll never return to it's glory days but it's still passable as a show, especially when held up against all the other shite on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Loved last nights show a lot funnier than last weeks. Think this is been one of its best series they've done.

Personally I prefer to say I won't be watching it because of how shite it is and how its nowhere near as good as it used to be. But then each week I'll come on and say stuff like 'my wife was watching it so I had to' or 'had nothing else to do so watched it' or 'I secretly love this show and planned my night around it'.

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think it is about time the brought it to an end. I loved the first four or five series - some great stories with loads of laughs. Also enjoyed the fact that they often highlighted issues that affected auld folk. The more recent ones havent been great but have still had their moments. Still better than a lot of comedies that the BBC produce. The worst thing they did was bring Methadone Mick on board. Hopefully the next series are back to the early classic standard and they go out with a bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Very poor episode, don’t think I laughed once. Recently re watched the other seasons, the difference between the 00’s Still Game and the last couple new seasons is night and day. methodone Mick is the worst character ever but keeps getting trotted out whilst Navid and Mena get a few seconds of screen time, and a bit of a waste of a cameo for Martin Compston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftBack Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thought the new episode was marginally better than those from last series but bar isnt set that high. Am a big fan of the Office and Extras and one thing they did do well was know when to stop - unfortunately SG has gone on for at least two series too far. Mick is a very very poorly developed character - not quite sure what his purpose actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because these days they aren’t allowed to give it the ‘poofy prick’ patter as people will get all offended. So instead it’s easier to rip into a guy with addiction issues. So much for mental health awareness and all that jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 ****ing brutal. Light years away from its prime (series 3-5), shouldn’t have pushed it this far. I fell asleep after 10 mins then tried to catch up on iPlayer and fell asleep again. On a different note, Burnistoun was really good last night. Definitely working better with well thought out one-offs rather than another series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put up with it for about 30 minutes hoping it would improve. It didn't. And as for the guy who was hosting it - was he trying to be like Michael McIntyre? If so, fail. If so, why?
