STILL GAME-THE COMPLETE SERIES ONE@KIDZCORNER DVDRIP[ENG]

Still Game started as a stage play, featuring three characters: Jack Jarvis, Victor McDade, and Winston Ingram. Due to a broken lift, the three men are stranded in Victor's flat, and discuss a variety of subjects ranging from death to sex. The stage play toured Scotland, England, Ireland and Canada before returning to Glasgow, where it was filmed and released on video and DVD.



A small number of revisions accompanied Still Game's transition from stage to television. Gavin Mitchell, who originally played Winston (and was replaced by Paul Riley for later performances), plays the part of Boabby the Barman in the series; and later characters, such as Tam Mullen and Isa Drennan, both mentioned briefly in the play, are fleshed out into supporting characters.



In 1998, Jack and Victor appeared in a number of skits in the tongue-in-cheek documentary about Scottish pop music called Och Around the Clock. In these they are shown to be watching while sitting in Victor's flat. As with the Muppet characters of Statler and Waldorf, their skits centred on the duo's disparaging comments about the performers.



The characters reappeared in Kiernan and Hemphill's sketch show Chewin' the Fat, nearly every episode of which featured Jack, Victor, Tam and Winston, with minor differences from their counterparts in the series. By the time Still Game became a show in its own right, Winston's physical appearance had changed significantly, but he was still played by Paul Riley. As the show has evolved, supporting characters like Winston, Isa and the local shopkeeper, Navid Harrid, have attained greater prominence.



Even though they started the first series, Jack and Victor made their final appearance on Chewin' the Fat in the 2002 Hogmanay Special.



Still Game's sixth series ended on 23 August 2007 on BBC Two. A Christmas special was aired on BBC One Scotland on 23 December at 10:15 pm and to the rest of the UK on BBC Two on 28 December at 10:50 pm. There was also a Hogmanay special called "Hootenanny" aired on BBC One Scotland, later aired to the rest of the UK on 2 January 2008.
