    Pish.

    Wish they weren't trying to make it all modern and 'relevant'. Just makes it cringy.

    Aye it was a difficult watch. Still think they’re trying too hard to reach out to a new fanbase

    Was pish. Also think this new BBC Scotland channel will be a total flop, like STV2.

    They canny even fill BBC 1 or 2 Scotland with any decent programmes, so the last thing we need is more * like extra News programmes, it's an overload of crap.

    They were saying an episode of the news on stv2 received the grand total of..........zero viewers :rofl: * man!

    Surely this channel will be better. Think bbc2 will just be re-branded and they’ll merge.

    Absolute embarrassing now.....its a shame it's going out like this.

    They should never have brought it back, poor writing and acting, and the fact it seems dimmed down for a British audience now is glaring to see.

    Mick is the worst character by far, Winston just ain't as humerous as he used to be.


    Sorry I just haven't got a good word to say about this since it all started back ....Series have been woeful.

    There has been the occasional LOL moment - navide halving a * at 5s was class :84:

    But if I hadn’t seen still game before, and watched the last couple of seasons, I wouldn’t know what the fuss was all about. Burnistoun and 2 doors down are so much better now.

    It's a bit unfair to compare Burnistoun to it. Burnistoun is a sketch show and, like all sketch shows back to Python and even The Goons, is incredibly hit and miss. Sketch shows can't really be compared to sitcoms.
    I thought that 'Two Doors Down' was absolutely rubbish. Incredibly bland and generic, almost like an American sitcom.

    It's just a shame that 'Still Game' seems to have sold out their artistic integrity in an attempt to widen their audience, that is certainly how it feels. it now has the feel of one of those Central and Eastern European comedies that you can't understand but feels culturally alien.

    Not sure it quite deserved the slagging it’s getting but it wasn’t great.
    Some funny bits but also some really cringey bits.
    Jack and Victor crying their eyes out over photos of their wives was a particular low point for me.
