    Has anyone watched this series on the BBC?

    "It follows the lives of Cork teenagers Conor MacSweeney (Alex Murphy) and Jock O'Keeffe (Chris Walley), which includes their young criminal activity, their feud with their principal, Barry Walsh (P.J. Gallagher) and their relationships with their principal's daughters."

    It's sort of a re-telling of the film from two years ago. Same characters and actors but just a different story. * hilarious and well worth a watch...particularly if you aren't quite enjoying Still Game!

    Blasted right through most of this last night - would have completed the series all in one sitting but the Mrs (lightweight!!) was starting to doze off - so one left.
    The part at the beginning of the second episode after that oul' wummin let them cut through her house had us on the floor in stitches :56:
    Will have to check the movie next.

    Best Irish comedy in years, I like Derry Girls but this is on another level.

    Theres a bit where your man * in the hand dryer and I nearly fell off me bed laughing, its so good they set it in somewhere else than Dublin or Belfast, need the rest of the country to get some recognition.

    Watched the last one of the series - great episode - then watched the movie
    Loved it all but think they actually did even better in the series
    The comedic element is a brilliant contrast against the poignancy of the desperate circumstances of their general deal in life.

    Seriously hope they have another one!!!

    Best programme since still game. Mental how all if them had never acted before the film. Apart from the mother i think. Which makes it even better
