Wish they could make a few more episodes. I suppose their tower-block would have been demolished by now. They can move it to the dead seaside town where Winston moved to.

I heard that there could be more
There was rumours that the writers (who play Jack and Victor) had fallen out, but I've heard that's bull shit and they're gonna be bringing it back.

I only discovered Still game for the first time myself last year, crying shame it's not that well known, because it's right up there with the all time classics IMO.

In a sad coincidence Kiernan's 12 year old son was found dead at the family home this morning. Police are treating the death as unexplained at the moment.
Thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

I like most of the older ones mentioned and still laugh at them. Particularly like Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? And Porridge.
