Top 10 Still Game Episodes

4. Big Yin - Season 3, Episode 5

Still Game

There are many things about this one that jumps right out the pan at you.

If you stay in Glasgow or Scotland you know about the problem that is neds. The English may know them as yobs or chavs. So what would it be like if we could get someone who could tackle the problem head on? Say hello to Big Innes, an old friend of Jack and Victor who comes to Craiglang to take care of these neds and make the scheme more friendly and a better place to be around.

Innes is a massive man. It's never actually revealed just how tall he is, but he looks to be about nearly double the size of Jack when sat down. He displays amazing feats of strength and bravery, and is just a general 'hard man' who you wouldn't want to mess with. His one biggest flaw? He is allergic to Midori, even the tiniest drop. It makes him go into fits of rage and aggression, sparing no one along the way. Not someone you want to be in the path of whilst they're in the middle of a Midori induced chaotic rage.

Unfortunately for Isa, we find out that absolutely everything about the "Big Yin" is indeed greater in size, even his waste. After relieving himself in Isa's bathroom, she wanders in, only to be confronted with one of the biggest logs imaginable. As Jack so eloquently puts it, "He must've had tae a stood up tae get himself aff a that." If that doesn't paint a pretty picture in your mind then nothing will.
