Still Game is a Scottish sitcom, a spin-off from the sketch show series Chewin' the Fat. Originally beginning as a stage play, it was created by Chewin' The Fat's Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, who also play the lead characters and is produced by The Comedy Unit with the BBC. Since it debuted on September 1st, 2002, Still Game has shown thirty five episodes, including a Christmas and Hogmanay special.
The title refers to the antics of two Glaswegian pensioners named Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade. Set in Craiglang, a fictional district of Glasgow, the show follows the lives of Jack, Victor and their various friends. The show started its first series being broadcast on BBC One Scotland; the further two series followed suit. It was not until the fourth series that Still Game was given a UK-wide broadcast on BBC Two. Since then, the show has gained favourable critical reviews and attracted many fans, achieving higher ratings than the following comedy shows broadcast during the BBC Two Comedy Zone.
