What I'm looking for from the new series of Still Game

Even in the age of on-demand TV there were still thousands of fans glued to their television sets when the programme started at 9.30pm.

As soon as the show finished the dissection started on social media. As expected, reviews were mixed, but the majority seemed to like what they saw.

NEGATIVE

@RayHugh56: “Older still game was better than that tonight, quite disappointed in it.”

@ZAIN7X: “Can we please just let Still Game die in peace before it gets ruined man, nothing will beat the old stuff.”
