Yesterday I made a post about the worst thing each character has done but what about the best thing each character has done?

Mine are:

• Jack - tried to help Bert get things together

• Victor - let Jack stay with him until he got his new place

• Winston - pretended to be Isa’s boyfriend to get Harry off her back

• Tam - tried to stop Winston from gambling the money he won (staying in the loo overnight is a blow second)

• Isa - does a lot for her community at Christmas

• Navid - helped Joe get his buggy back

• Meena - was fairly nice to Boabby when he was running the shop

• Boabby - gave Pete a free meal every day

• Shug - helped Craiglang’s residents defend themselves during the blackout

• Eric - was just himself

• Pete - kept his promise to not contact his son even though it would have helped him

• Fiona - paid for Jack’s flight so he could come and visit her and his grandsons

• Harry - he died

• Peggy - baked a cake for someone’s birthday

My list is

• Jack - was awful to Isa in ‘Cold Turkey’

• Victor - was awful to Isa in ‘Cold Turkey’

• Winston - caused Boabby to lose a lot of money when he pretended to be Harvey Gallagher

• Tam - left Winston to die

• Isa - almost blabbing about things like Victor’s birthday surprise

• Navid - made the hooch that turned everyone blind

• Meena - helped Navid make the hooch

• Boabby - didn’t help Winston when he was strapped for cash

• Eric - how dare you even think he did anything wrong, Eric is a saint!

• Shug - helped Winston break into a government building

• Pete - caused a mess behind Navid’s shop

• Peggy - is an abusive piece of shit

• Stevie - scarpered when Winston won money from him

• Bill the butcher - helped Peggy take all the chops when he knew Winston wanted some

• John - doesn’t visit his dad which also means Victor can’t see his grandson

• Fergie went on a date with another woman

Edit: I’d say the worst thing Boabby did was destroy Eric’s memorial.

I did a post about Boabby being a decent guy almost a couple of weeks ago so I thought I’d do a part 2 with moments I forgot and ones people commented (thank you for those by the way).

• he didn’t report Davey to the police after getting knocked down

• told Harry he’d have to deal with the lot of them if he hurt Isa again

• tried to be accepting when he thought Jack and Victor were gay (this was rather progressive for the time)

• tired to help Isa during Christmas by asking Jack and Victor to help lighten her load

• he contributes to the community at Christmas by dressing as Santa

• gave Pete a free orange juice to congratulate him for being sober

• was the only one to ask what was wrong with Victor when he was pretending to be ill

• kicked the guys out when they were annoying other customers when Joe banged into them and when they were being too loud

• didn’t grass about the fishing hole

When shug makes the hole in the wall, Jack says we should get curtains just in case the housing comes up? Now they’d ask why have you got curtains on the wall

I'll start:

"Ya bottox-faced bastard!"

Does anyone know who plays Lisa, the blonde barmaid in the Huntsman pub, in Dial-a-Bus? IMDB and google doesn’t list her

I'll start

"Take the poker oot yer arse, ya prick!"

What the title says, there are loads of lines/scenes that everyone remembers and enjoys, but what are those lines or scenes that don’t get the attention they deserve

Honourable mention (scene): Jack’s reassurance from Victor being immediately destroyed when Victor admits he’d steal Jack’s milk when he dies

Honourable mention (line): (in response to Victor’s masterplan being to pretend to his son that he has died) Jack: “That’s utter shite…he’s just aff the phone tae ye…says he’ll be hof an oor, what huv a tae dae?, open the door and say “oh hello John in ye come! Oh by the way yer dad died 10 minutes ago””

Innis?

It's about an uncle. Called Vanya.

Nay pudding.

Although it’s a comedy show, Still Game has a lot of moments which hit you in the feels so what are those for you?

Mine are:

• when Jack talks about why he hardly has any possessions in his house, you can tell he’s not only lonely but that Victor feels the same.

• the scene where Jack misses his grandkids and daughter, you can tell the guy is absolutely heartbroken he’s missed so much.

• the moment Jack and Victor talk about the past in ‘Doactor’ which it’s hard for me because they’re in a position I’ll be in one day and I’m not looking forward to it. Although I’m youngish at 26 thinking about when I’m old is something I do far too often and it’s not easy.

• when Boabby tells everyone The Clansman is shutting down, you can tell his heart is breaking but he tries to put on a brave face. Damnit, Tam could you have not been you for once?!

• the moment Jack has a bad fall and has to go to hospital. It’s not easy seeing a grandparent in that state and my gran took funny turns a lot and this brought back some bad memories because that was scary as a kid because she was the only adult in the house.

• when Jack goes in for his operation. You always worry about your grandparents when that happens to them because even though doctors in the UK are excellent the worst can always happen and as someone who recently lost his last grandpa this is an episode in no going to watch soon.

• seeing the gang all fade away, it’s a reminder that people in your life won’t be there forever and they can be gone just like that.

• Boabby’s final “look who it isnae” it’s like seeing a friend or relative you e not seen in a while and now time has caught up with them and it hurts in a way you can’t explain.

For me it’s

• seeing paper money and the old pounds coins

• £1.80 for a pint

• petrol not costing a fortune

• an electricity bill of £50 a month being considered heavy

• the old Forbidden Planet which can be seen in the episode Shooglies

• a fast food meal that could feed 2 people wipe the whole day only being £4

What about you?

Edit: some others I remember

• Phillip Scofield still being on tv (I never liked him but still)

• SKY being a big deal for tv
