We told earlier how the new series will feature the core cast – Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill, Paul Riley, Jane McCarry, Mark Cox, Sanjeev Kohli and Gavin Mitchell - reprising their Still Game roles.

In Scotland, the last series of Still Game became the most watched non-sporting programme in more than a decade with weekly episodes regularly attracting more than half of the total audience.

Speaking earlier this year, before filming started, Hempill, said: "We can't wait to get started on the next batch of adventures with Jack and Victor. We have lots of surprises in store for you!"

Kiernan, added: "Chuffed to bits to be coming back for series eight. Greg and I have been cooking up some absolute corkers and we can’t wait to show you what they are."

Comedy fans across the country celebrated the show’s return in 2016 after a nine-year hiatus, when it went straight to BBC One network for the first time.

And they have rejoiced again that the latest series is almost upon us.

Lauren McKenna said: "YES! This makes me so happy."

Another Twitter user added: "Best news ever."

The original run of the sitcom, which stars Kiernan and Hemphill as evergreen Glaswegian pensioners Jack and Victor, aired for six series between 2002 and 2007, transferring from BBC Scotland to BBC Two.

We told last year how the Still Game cast were snapped on set playing OAP football for the upcoming series.

And last month Scots punters were left in hysterics after clothing giant ASOS looked like it hadw "raided Jack and Victor's wardrobe" for its latest range.

The new series of Still Game will air on BBC One when it returns in March.
