If anyone is watching Still Game through for the first time I strongly advise to stop here. There is a massive drop in quality in the show after this season (the result of a fallout between the 2 stars of the show) and when it was brought back to air it was a shadow of it's former self, with the honourable exception of the last 2 episodes. It's best just to re-watch the show up to this point and enjoy what it once was

I love Still Game. It's almost like Cheers for Scotland. Lots of funny, oddball characters you get to like. Jack and Victor often bring some humanity and common sense to the action. But, like most situation comedies, something happens and comedy ensues. But, I never questioned Jack and Victor's goodness or character...UNTIL NOW!

In a massive writing blunder, this episode turns Jack and Victor into a couple of idiotic, "big city", jerks! Who thought it was a good idea to have our loveable protagonists constantly looking down on and insulting the locals of a wee island who did nothing wrong....but live on a wee island.

I've see all of the Still Game episodes, specials, and stage stuff, and this ranks right up there with the worst.
