Still Game characters to bow out with final live stage show
The cast of Still Game will reunite for a last live stage show to retire the characters once the final television series finishes.
The ninth and final series of the show, first created by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, will air on BBC One in spring 2019.
It will feature a host of guest appearances from the likes of Martin Compston, Midge Ure and Amy Macdonald.
Kiernan and Hemphill have now announced they will also retire the characters from the live stage following a third and final theatre run at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.
