A Glasgow-based sitcom, *Still Game*, has become a hit stage show after selling out 16 performances at Glasgow’s The Hydro. The show, which features feisty pensioners Jack and Victor, played by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, originally aired as a homegrown sitcom set in the fictional Glasgow suburb of Craiglang. It quickly became a favorite among local audiences but was largely overlooked for wider BBC broadcasting. In 2013, a stage adaptation of the show was staged at The Hydro, where it sold out a run of 16 shows. The success of the stage version highlights the growing popularity of local Scottish productions. The original series, set in a fictional neighborhood, has gained a loyal following despite its limited initial reach. The stage adaptation brought the characters to life in a new format, drawing large crowds and demonstrating the enduring appeal of the show. The production’s success has sparked discussions about the potential for more local content to gain national recognition through the BBC.
