I would guess that the DVD will be conveniently released just in time for Christmas. And will be one of the best sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Going with Stevenston Saint next Sunday (holiday weekend ) cant wait. Even if it's half as funny as the tv series it will be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I was at the show on Friday, plus first time in Hydro. In my opinion, show was ok and well put together, I think its difficult, however, to take a tv show like Still Game onto the stage, especially in an arena such as the Hydro and I found myself watching it on the big screens.................which made me think I would be just as well watching it on the telly! Also, I got a bit pissed off with people constantly going in and out to get drink (or go for the inevitable piss) during the show. Starting to sound like an old fanny now!!

beyond our ken Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought it was excellent as an arena show A few wee tricks were used which worked well and the big musical number was hilarious It played very well to the strengths of the cast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to sound like an old fanny now!! when i go to any kind of show, it is to see the show itself so the amount of people getting WELL pissed at the matinee was pretty unpleasant. The guy next to me could hardly walk straight at the end and collided with everything on the way out Also-Cheeseburger and chips at a show? I just don't get it this was also my first time at the Hydro and it is looking pretty degraded at only one year old anyone who goes should park at the science centre and cross the bells bridge-the multi storey next door has only one exit ramp for the thousands of vehicles it holds. took an hour and a half to get out Edited September 21, 2014 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The original Still Game live is on YouTube, if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrAcX39e2To (Parts 1 and 2 of 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambo57 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) I think I heard Sanjeev Kohli on the tranny the other day saying that Still Game started out as a stage show, although not a lot of people know that. I've never even watched it on the TV. I saw the original stage show at The Cottier Theatre many moons ago. It was based on their sketches in Chewin The Fat. I may be having a senior moment, but I'm not sure it was called Stiil Game? Maybe 'High Livin' or Victor & Jack or sumfin. ETA I heard that the Hydro show was going to be mainly reruns of sketches from the TV show. Can anyone confirm?

I caught a wee bit of an interview they done on TV the other week and I think, don't crucify me, they said they were writing some new stuff? Mibbie I just made this up.

How "new" can it be. a new show with variations on familiar themes in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer john Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 It was very good indeed....tears running down my cheeks for maybe the first time in my life, especially at the big musical finale. All new stuff except a "classic sketch request" right at the end. All real feel good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Going this afternoon. Will report back after a moderate bevvy session in the west end. Excellent. Really enjoyed it. Very clever use of the audience incorporated into the show and some special guests from previous shows. Show ebbed and flowed, but wasn't bored at any point. As FJ said, some scenes brought tears of laughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Very clever and won't have been easy making what was a half hour show into a 2 and a half hour one. Second half was superb with it building into a classic finale. No doubt the DVD will be out for Christmas and I would have no hesitation in buying in despite having seen it live.
