SAD TO SEE THE LAD'S GO

A Customer from skegness, 12th October, 2008

THESE ARE THE LAST TWO STILL GAME EPISODES EVER AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE BEST THEY ARE STILL VERY FUNNY AS ARE ALL THE STILL GAME DVDS. I SEE THESE AS MODERN CHRISTMAS CLASSIC'S, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT ALL CHRISTMAS TV HAS TO OFFER TODAY IS SOAP'S AND TALENT SHOW FINAL'S AND TIRED WHO WANT'S TO BE A MILLIONAIRE. SADLY MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN BRING BACK TRUE CHRISTMAS COMEDY .

Slightly letting the side down but still enjoyable.

H0LLIE from , 7th August, 2010

Often when a series does a Christmas Special it tends to be rather disapointing, the comedy feels forced and it doesn't fit well with the general series. But not with Still Game, at least until the final episode: Hootenanny. But despite that there are still 3 great episodes here and Hootenanny, though disappointing, is still entertaining. This DVD consists of the 2 Christmas episodes: Cold Turkey and Plum Number. And the 2 Hogmanay episodes: The Party and Hootenanny. First we have Cold Turkey. Winston thinks he's found himself a deal when he's offered a fresh turkey for only 6 quid, the only problem is that it's a little fresher than he expected. Jack and Victor neglect to get Isa her annual bottle of Advocaat and end up without a Christmas dinner. Then there's The Party, arguably the best of the episodes here. Jack, Victor, Winston, and Isa get stuck in the lift. They spend their time reminiscing of the last time the lift was broken - New Year 1975. This is a rare chance to see the actors without the age make up, as we join them at Victor's first party in his new flat. Next up is Plum Number, in which Jack and Victor join the comunity choire. After taking the required flack down at The Clansman the idea is generally embraced by all. Tam is his ever scamming self, trying his best to cheat the thousand pound jackpot out of Bobby's new fruit machine. The last episode, not just here but the final ever episode of Still Game, is sadly disappointing after the hilarity that precedes it. Jack, Victor, Tam, and Winston all head to the highlands for New Year, of course things don't exactly go to plan. Isa heads to Navid's for the bells, with surprising results. So if you enjoy Still Game it pretty much goes without saying that this is a must see.

Best Comedy on TV

A Customer from Sheffield, 20th November, 2009

Still Game is the most hilarious comedy series on TV. The backdrop of two old guys Jack and Victor with their myriad of friends - Isa, Naveed, Winston, Booby etc. and the things they get up to in daily life is brilliant. Based on an estate in Glasgow - Craiglang - was inspirational with the social and economic issues that brings with a humurous twist is very good. Weil scripted and acted (by the two leads) and the entire cast are at the top of their game. Cameo's from Robbie Coltrane (et al) also adds to these series. The XMAS SPECIALS are a more than welcome addition.
