Carl Fredrickson Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 A quick check on IMDB and she has been acting for many a year. From Naked Video to Trainspotting and she also writes. The make up on many of them is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_hmfc Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Second episode was absolutely dire, so many of the jokes are just old pensioners saying "***ker" and "hawf-wit". I genuinely don't understand what people see in it, I genuinely don't. Doesn't look like Amy MacDonald is going to be in it at all either. The possibility of a cameo from her was the only reason I put myself through the last series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I found it funny at parts, not so funny at others. They should make this the last series and go back to just doing new year specials, and put it on instead of OAE. At least there would be something worth watching. Always loved the new year specials they used to make, my favourite probably being either when they went to the islands or when they were stuck in the lift.

Kennedy Bakircioglu Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I can't believe how bad episode 2 was. I'm almost hoping they move to a couple episodes a year so it doesn't tarnish the first few series which were superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I must admit, that was a good episode tonight. One thing I’ll always say for Hemphill and Kiernan, their writing is always topical, walking football is all the rage at the mo. Hope Mick wears that dug suit for the rest of the series.

luckydug Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I enjoyed it had a few laughs. It's not nearly as funny as it used to be though. I have been watching old episodes on you tube and still find them hilarious even after several watches. I don't think this series or the last one will stand the test of time though. I can't imagine watching them multiple times like the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EreWeG0.. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 A show that used to have at least 2 roll about laughing bits an episode, spent the new series smiling rather than laughing, odd moments are amusing but it's certainly not as good as early series. Better than the shite before it and other sitcoms but not as good as it was as it seems rushed. Not terrible and not great, which is unfortunate as still game was constantly great. Mick needs to go as he's just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwing Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The best thing about the Auld still game was it’s free flowing patter, believable storylines and general Scottish oap life.

gashauskis9 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I’ve got a bit too sentimental with the core characters and the concept, but to be fair that’s what it’s all about. The storylines will naturally get weaker and new characters won’t land very well, but it’s Still Game and i’ll always love it regardless. On the methadone Mick debate, what annoys me most about that character is that he comes across as more of a childish/neddish annoyance than a junkie. Pete the jakey was a good jakey so therefore made the character his own. My only hope is that they force Mick to wear that dug costume for the rest of the series.

hughesie27 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Best episode of the seasons so far. I missed the last seaosn but thought Meth Mick was alright. Can see why he would be annoying if he was in every episode but I think the actor playing him does a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
