This review is from: Still Game : Complete BBC Series 1-5 (6 Disc Box Set) [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
None of my friends in England have heard of this comedy show, it's shamefully underpublicised here despite being one of the most original, clevery written and hilarious shows about. Could it be that the BBC are prejudiced against Scots? Surely no...? The situations are funny, but the jewel of this show is the banter bewteen the characters. This is where Still Game stands out - there's no sense of them throwing in a funny line and waiting for the laughs, it's more subtle and sustained humour which makes the characters and situations more believable and likeable. The complete series 1-5 come in a lovely box set, with no extras but you can't complain for £37 really. For any fan of the show, this box set is a really lovely thing to own which will make you laugh out loud with every re-visit.

I caught up with Jack and Victor on TV during series 5 and thought it was brilliant. I bought the complete series 1-5 for my husband for Christmas thinking that if he did not like it I could claim ownership of the DVD's.
We started to watch them over the Christmas period when there was nothing on TV and it soon became a regular part of our routine to put the DVD's on of an evening. Every series is an absolute masterpiece and you will all probably recognise some of the charactors from your own neigbourhood, from Tam who has yet to buy a pint to Isa the gossip. Naveed is played brilliantly and we sit and wait for the new series to be shown later this year. Even if you are not Scottish, you will find it hard to stop laughing at the boys, every episode is an absolute gem, a masterpiece. By the time we had finished watching all the DVD's we felt like Jack and Victor were old friends of ours. A must buy for all who love comedy at it's best

this show is absolutely brilliant. i have been hunting for this down south (england) for ages, but to no avail apart from one of the later series on dvd. but finally it's available in a box set. Jack and Victor are hilarious and Naveed the shopkeeper is funny with his banter with his wife. a number of episodes that i like are the one with Robbie Coltrane as a bus driver, the one where Bobbie the barman's dirty little secret is found out by a couple of the locals and they're trying to keep the gossip from Isa.
but for those of you that don't know about they're humble beginnings in chewing the fat, it is worth buying that as well as still game because the little sketches of these hilarious elderly odd couple are priceless. especially the ones where they are sat in the pub wi there cronies havin a wee sing song (the title of this review is just a sneaky peek at one of them) and the purchase that one of them made in the gents toilets for pleasing the ladies. so to sum up this is just brilliant comedy that beats any other that's on the box at the minute. so sit back relax and don't forget the incontinence pants.....coz you're guaranteed to wet yourself!!!!!
