#62 Jane McCarry - Isa from BBC’s Still Game

This one is for my Scottish listeners. Still Game is a sitcom shown on BBC dating back to the early 00s. In fact - Still Game is the most successful sitcom show Scotland has ever produced with millions of views combined. The show sold out two recording breaking tours at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow selling out 40+ combined dates. The show made a reappearance in 2016 and 2018.

The show is based in the fictional town Craigland and captures the lives of a group of old aged pensioners who are young at heart.

Jane plays the well loved “Isa” who is a well loved character. Isa is known for her hilarious outbursts, her love for gossiping and being a “gabshite”.
