Perhaps unsurprisingly for a programme about pensioners, mortality was another popular recurring theme. By the time the show bowed out earlier this year, Death had become as familiar a presence in Craiglang as in the Discworld, with even stalwart characters (Eric, Pete the Jakey) sent to meet their maker.The Craiglang mantra is, “he who hingeth aboot getteth heehaw,” and with the show only being on until the 13 th of October, you’re best seeing it soon to prevent the Isa in your life from ruining all the banter.

The show makes many self-aware jokes about being PC, however, one thing it certainly isn’t is PG. I found myself cringing on more than one occasion. Imagine having a conversation with your granny about sex, throw in some crude sound effects, add in some X-rated filth from supposedly religious figures and you wind up with something that’s more embarrassing than funny.

It was a lovely sentiment and one that audience members may find a bit emotional; it had the charm of earlier Still Game episodes and was a welcomed break from the OAP fondling seen previously.

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. Anyway, with all seasons available on Netflix or BBC iPlayer, and with no doubt the Final Farewell DVD being available before Christmas, our pensioner pals will never be far.
