COMEDY series Still Game will return to television next month, it has been confirmed.

A truncated hour-long version of their unprecedented 21-show run at The SSE Hydro will be shown on 7 November on BBC2.

The ground-breaking production, which played to a total of 210,000 people between 19 September and 10 October, was recorded for a partial broadcast on television ahead of the full DVD release later next month.

Creator Ford Kiernan, who plays Jack Jarvis, said: "We are delighted the BBC are showing our show on TV.

"So many people are still talking about it and also a great deal of fans couldn't get tickets. So we're bringing the entire show out on DVD too.

"We're still so grateful to everyone who came to see it. We had an absolute blast."

As we revealed this summer, Ford and co-creator Greg Hemphill are in talks with the BBC about the possibility of a new series for television.

Co-star Gavin Mitchell, who played Boaby the Barman for 21 shows while nursing broken ribs from a cycling accident, said: "I'll be as excited as everyone else who was there, or who didn't get a ticket, to actually see it live myself. It was all like a big dream that we were watching from the other side."

Still Game Live saw the full original cast members: Sanjeev Kohli, Paul Riley, Jane McCarry, Mark Cox and Mitchell, reunite with the creators.

The show saw Jack struggling with a dilemma over attending his daughter's wedding in Canada, a new leg for Winston and Isa's home made soup.

It also featured a hilarious song-and-dance finale with music penned by actor and musician Tom Urie.
