Central Belt Caley Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I thought it was Chris Forbes from Scot Squad. Never caught credits to see if it was him. Yeah it was him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never watched that but it was him. Re: the ending, I suppose they've still got the stage show as the "final final" so having the ending where it doesn't specifically show any of them dying allows them another out for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I can only presume from them not appearing in the post-show show, and the fact there is a tribute show on, that Ford and Greg were involved in a murder suicide? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Series 4 definitely a lot better than I gave it credit for first time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 From this Thread!!! The most recent series has been the best in a while - still its not clever or insightful in the slightest and i cant help but feel some folk adore it because its a sitcom that's heavily reliant on Scottish language. If you put out the same characters and dialogue designed without the Scottish influence plenty of the people who adore the show as is would have nothing positive to say From the Burnistoun Thread!!! The most recent special was enjoyable - still its not clever or insightful in the slightest and i cant help but feel some folk adore it because its a sitcom that's heavily reliant on Scottish language. If you put out the same characters and dialogue designed without the Scottish influence plenty of the people who adore the show as is would have nothing positive to say Hmmmn!!! I'm sure there's a Limmy's Show Thread, a Scot Squad Thread and if you look hard enough a Rab C. Nesbit Thread you can copy and paste this further!!!

paranoid android Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That that was quite a nice way to end it, even if they did peak years ago - liked the use of the Dylan song. Isa's storyline seemed annoying and utterly pointless, unless any c**t spotted a poignant subtext. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonglum25 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Did not see the end coming that way - actually quite a good way to finish it up but to also leave the way open for a couple of specials at some time in the future. Story was always going to be an anti climax to the finish. Thanks for the memoriess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Thought that was a complete nothing episode, Isa’s plot was awful and the ending didn’t work for me. The end of Series 6 (spooky bitch) would have been a much better ending to the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put out the same characters and dialogue designed without the Scottish influence plenty of the people who adore the show as is would have nothing positive to say Obviously a very subjective conversation, but while Still Game is probably never going to get a BBC retrospective with lot's of talking heads spunking all over it, I found it, particularly in it's early series to be insightful study of community and friendship. This is a group of people who lack the tools (because of class and age) to get on in the world or escape their circumstances and rely massively on each other to stave off boredom. A story about people who take their kicks where they find it, even if that involves a plot surrounding a sweepstake on who's going to die from hypothermia that they manage to tell without it becoming dark or macabre. That it only works in context is hardly a surprise. The dialogue is written for West coast Scots cadence and only works because of it and perhaps that does limit it's appeal to wider audiences, but so what? There are tonnes of comedies that are well loved but when you see the actual dialogue written down are just not funny. Take Blackadder for example: Stuff like 'more cunning than a cunning fox that's just been made professor of cunning at Oxford' only really works because Atkinson delivers it with such venom and sarcasm that you can imagine him over running the comparison because he needs the extra words to vent. Or Yes Minister, briefly re-booted and abandoned because for all the dryness that exists in Lynn's written dialogue it needs Hawthorne's carefully blank face, strategic pauses and effortless authority to deliver it in a way that makes you laugh. There was this bit in Hitchhiker's guide where Slartibartfast is extolling the virtues of fjords and his general outlook on life: He say's he'd rather be happy than right, and when challenged on whether he is happy, he responds "No, that's where it all falls to bits" and in the naughties movie Bill Nighy plays him and it's such a nothing line. In the original, Richard Vernon delivers the same dialogue with such ennui, so far removed from caring that it remains the bit I love the most. So when you have Jack and Victor arguing over who ate the last Tea Cake, or Winston's rage at Stevie the Bookie, yeah it might only work in the context of the particularly Scottish brand of machismo: a form of needling that escalates quickly well beyond the stakes involved and that might not be something you see in other localities or shows, but that's to it's benefit. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
