Highland Capital Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 They were filming a scene with Boaby the Barman in a Waterstones today apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sanjeev Kohli posted the other day that it was his last ever time playing Navid on Still Game. Hope they end it after this season tbh. They'll no doubt replace him with a Methadone Mick-esque character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Has it not already been confirmed this will be the last season? Just looked it up and you are indeed correct. No idea how I missed that. Right move if the last season was anything to go by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 First time really watching series 7 and have found first 2/3 episodes decent but something doesn’t seem right about the picture just doesn’t look right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Watched 7 last week and it got me binge watching again. 7 was actually OK for the most part. It's still comfortably the worst one they've produced until that point but there were still a few laughs. Isa diving behind the bar is where they jumped the shark for me. Victor being dragged by Zeus came close in 7 but that is actually believable as a Great Dane could easily pull some off their feet. A 70 odd year old woman diving on a hard floor and thinking nothing of it isn't really believable. Mick never featured as much in 7 either which is a bonus. I'll rewatch 8 when Netflix get it but I expect it to be as bad as I remember. Having sat through them all again, for me what makes Still Game so funny is the dialogue. It has it's fair share of physical comedy but it was never reliant on that. The banter is what made it. The scene where Victor accuses Jack of eating 4 teacakes is a prime example: Absolutely nothing funny to look at happens in that scene yet it's hilarious. There were so many scenes similar to this. I really hope they focus on their dialogue in 9 and not in falling over Miranda style or it'll be even worse than 8. It'll still go down as one of the country's best sitcoms but it would be nice if they could finish on a high. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of many glaring issues last season where the patter seemed so forced and predictable. Case in point being when they're having a lock in at the pub in the episode that Eric dies - hardly any of the patter is actually funny, the digs aimed at Boaby are so obvious and the fact that the characters laugh at it more than the viewer looks to me like they were trying to signpost which bits to laugh at. Almost like a light track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Currently on episode 2 of series 7 and strange to see that Methadone Mick's first appearance under the bridge is actually pretty funny when he's just being a junky rather than a philosophical w**k. Albeit as one of Still Game's excellent one off characters rather than the regular that some lunatic decided he should be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Another stage show on sale Friday, supposedly the final final final one, 5 shows scheduled at the Hydro but it'll end up being 20-odd. Suppose it maybe puts to bed the idea the TV series ends with one of them dying, maybe not and there'll be some kind of retcon. I thought the first one was decent but the second one was just a bit too much of a musical- albeit I was severely scooped after hospitality at the Hydro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 2nd one was excellent and much funnier than the 1st. In fact I'd go as far to say that I would rather see it on stage than on TV right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
