Trivia for
"Still Game" (2002) More at IMDbPro »

• For the first three series of Still Game the creators used Scottish words and spellings (for example: 'Faimly'). As Series 4 was shown in England and Wales too, from that point on standard English was used to title episodes. This was done to help national audiences better understand the titles. Additionally, the later series, characters use notably less Scottish slang and terminology. Presumably again, this was done to make the show more accessible to national audiences.
  
  
• Still Game has a number of famous fans. Sylvester McCoy and Robbie Coltrane are amongst those who have made cameo appearances. Sean Connery and Bill Nighy are also said to be fans and have expressed an interest in appearing.
  
  
• Just before the fifth series started filming, a pest control team had to be called in to the studios as rats had infested Navid's shop set. The alarm was raised after Jane McCarry (who plays Isa) found a dead rat on the set.
  
  
• At one stage Still Game was attracting over half of the available TV audience in Scotland.
