Top 10 Still Game Episodes

10. Hatch - Season 4, Episode 5

"Jack & Victor are gay!" - a line that no doubt many of the Craiglang residents had expected to hear for many years. Of course, this is all just a huge misunderstanding all because Isa can't keep her big beak out of the letterbox!

It all comes about when Jack gets a brand new satellite dish and Victor wants a slice of the action. After creating a hatch that allows them to deliberate , things take an unexpected turn when Isa jumps to the conclusion that the pair must be lovers.

Of course with Isa being Isa, this doesn't stay her own thought for long and soon everyone in Craiglang believes that the best friends are for more than just friends.

It's a great episode that, in all honesty, deals with the subject of homosexuality incredibly well. The characters continually repeat the phrase live and let live throughout the episode, and treat Jack and Victor no differently when they 'find out' that they are gay, because they are no different, or wouldn't be had they turned out to be gay.

Jack and Victor being in the dark with regards to the rumours is just pure class, which leads to some excellent scenes with Bobby the barman trying to make Jack and Victor feel comfortable in The Clansman. If he got on a private jet, he couldn't be further away.
