An ending which elevates this episode to one of the most heartfelt of the entire series. 'Over the Hill' successfully pulled together everything that Still Game was about - friendship, life and laughs to provide an ending fitting of such a great show. It's emotional, shocking, and makes it easy to forget how forgettable some of series nine has been. Yes, it could've been funnier and it could've produced a more coherent story - but what the finale (and indeed the entire series) did achieve was packed full of heart, with definition and finality to each characters arc.
You'll feel shocked at first, perhaps even disappointed, but once the final scene closes - you'll know that Ford and Greg did right by the characters...You know, before the overwhelming sense of loss sets in and you begin grieving as the show departs our screens forever. Goodbye Still Game, you will live long in the patter of Scots everywhere.
