Ford and Greg are still game for a laugh
ON Monday, Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill return as the two coolest pensioners in town, Jack and Victor, in more hilarious adventures and antics in a new six-part series of BBC Scotland's hit comedy Still Game.
Like all the great double acts Jack and Victor are growing old disgracefully. Pals since they were wee, they're on a two-man mission to prove that living on a pension doesn't stop you having a laugh. Both widowers, whose kids are on the other side of the world, but living next door to each other means they're never far from a cup of tea, a biscuit and a banter.
And the one thing no-one's ever short of is gossip, thanks to the keeper of the Craiglang grapevine, Isa - once she gets you in her clutches you've had it, she'll bore you to tears.
That said, life can be grim in Craiglang and that's what is getting Jack and Victor down, until they discover a whisky-tasting in the posh West End of Glasgow. After a few nips of the golden stuff the boys win a day out to the Glengoyne Distillery and discover an endless supply of tours, free whisky and women - but have to face the consequences the following day.
Meanwhile, fellow pensioner Winston spots old enemy and bookie Stevie, who had run away without paying him the ?32,500 he owed him. An ensuing confrontation between them leads to false hopes and false legs being stuffed full of money - with all bets off until John McCririck (playing a cameo) comes forward to give Winston some tips.
? Still Game, BBC 2, Monday, 9pm, repeated Friday, BBC 1, 10.45pm |
