British Situation Comedy Series - The Provisional Results of My Review

[LHC]

I am going to stick my neck out here.

Now we are four episodes into "Hold the Sunset", I reckon it is very good indeed and almost outstanding.

So everyone else in the world disagrees.

They are just a bunch of moaning minnies.

I was amazed to discover that this series (which I thought was dire) was written by Charles McKeown, who also wrote the screenplay for Brazil and Baron Munchausen, amongst other things.

There are 23 episodes available on iPlayer. I shall investigate!
(Should it be repeated on BBC Scotland, users of Freesat, and presumably other platforms, will be able to watch).

They've been running it from the beginning and are into series 2. Worth catching the early series in particular, L. There's 4 or 5 from series 2 there just now...I've been watching them again on the BBC Scotland Channel and they hold up well. Some terrific characters in there.

We've just seen our first ever episode - series 2 episode 3. A real discovery for us - many thanks!

The actors who play Jack and Victor are the writers, L. Last night I watched an episode where J & V celebrated 60 years of friendship - classic Glasgow humour. 'Still Game' stopped a number of years ago because Kiernan and Hemphill fell out with each other - they reunited after a long hiatus and brought the show back to the great delight of their fans.

I didn't realise that Still Game wasn't mainstream fare. It was/is funny and well worth watching.
