List of Still Game episodes

The following is an episode list for Still Game. The first series began on 1 September 2002 and its seventh series started on BBC One Scotland on 7th October 2016.

In the first three series, the episode titles were all Scots words that were related to the episode. This was changed to standard English titles for Series 4 so that the national audiences could understand the titles.

Jack has become increasingly annoyed with his disruptive neighbours. He takes a walk with Victor to their local pub, the Clansman, as they complain about their run-down Glasgow neighbourhood, Craiglang. On the way, Jack attempts to persuade Victor to let Jack move into his spare room, an idea which Victor is strongly opposed to. However, the pair hear from Isa (who lives on the same floor as Victor in the Osprey Heights tenements) that the owner of the flat next to Victor's, old man Hannigan, has just died. Jack immediately latches onto the idea of moving into the flat, and, under the guise of being mourners at Hannigan's wake, he and Victor examine it, managing to embarrass themselves hugely in the process. Reasonably pleased with what he has seen, Jack makes plans to move into the flat. However, the beat-up removals lorry cheaply arranged to move Jack's furniture, bursts into flames shortly after setting off on the journey to Osprey Heights, destroying all of Jack's belongings. Meanwhile, Winston is trying to train his grandson, Joe, for a boxing match. Despite Joe's short, scrawny build and obvious lack of talent for the sport, Winston keeps pushing him, much to the annoyance of everyone else, who clearly see that there is nothing in it. During the fight (shown in a brief post-credits sequence), Joe is flattened within seconds.

Notes: There are several comments made in this episode that counteract developments later in the series. Victor states that his son in Johannesburg is named Jamie (in all other episodes his son is called John). He also refers to Jack as being 74 years old, while all later mentions of Jack's age have him at 72. Bobby the Barman also implies that he has a family in this episode, though every other episode but "Faimly" (in which he is said to have a wife) strongly imply that he is single and has no children.

Victor receives a message on his answering machine from his son, John, who states that he will be in the UK with his wife and children and will make a detour to Scotland to see Victor. However, Victor stuggles to make out the time his son will be arriving at the train station, due to a large amount of background noise. He and Jack take the tape to their neighbour Shug, so nicknamed for his incredibly large ears ("lug" being the Scots word for "ear"). Shug is an expert with electronics, though he has an irritating habit of launching into long stories about his spell in the army. He promises to find out when John is arriving. In the Clansman, Victor reflects on his history with his son. John has apparently often told Victor that he would visit him, and then not turned up. This is interrupted by Shug, who hands Victor the tape, and says that he is certain that John's train will be arriving at 2:30 PM. Despite this, Jack and Victor go to the train station at 10:00 AM. After growing more and more bored waiting, the pair fall asleep at two, only waking up at 4:30 PM. Horrified, Victor frantically leaves the station with Jack. As they approach Victor's flat, they hear voices coming from inside. An overjoyed Victor thinks it's his son's family, but is disappointed to find Winston and Isa. Winston was injured after fighting with Peggy McAlpine over gigot chops at the butcher's, breaking his arm. Thoroughly angry that Jack and Victor neglected him during the hospital's visiting hour, Winston was let into Victor's flat by Isa, who had been cleaning for him. Victor decides to put the day's incident behind him, and he and the others eat the desserts that he had prepared for his family.
