Still Game season 3 episode 1, named "Hoaliday," is a Scottish television comedy show that follows the lives of two elderly friends, Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade, residing in the fictional Scottish town of Craiglang. The episode marks the beginning of the show's third season and is set during the summer holiday season.
The show opens with Jack and Victor reminiscing about their younger days when they used to go on holiday with their families. However, as elderly men now, they do not have anyone to go away with, so they decide to take a short holiday in the nearby Scottish town of Finport. The plan is to enjoy a two-night stay and soak up the sun on the Scottish coast.
Jack and Victor set out on their journey and arrive at their hotel in Finport, The Clachan, which they soon find out is not up to their standards. The hotel is run-down, and the rooms are dull and drab; nevertheless, the friends decide to make the best of it and start their holiday.
Their first attempt at entertainment is to visit a local swimming pool, but they soon regret it when they both find themselves stuck on a slide unable to get off. The scene is comical to watch and provides viewers with some much-needed comic relief.
Throughout the rest of the episode, Jack and Victor try various activities such as playing Bingo, going to the pub, and meeting other holidaymakers, but they are not having much luck. Jack soon discovers that there is a better hotel nearby, and they decide to try and get their money back from The Clachan and head to the fancier location.
However, this is where the real fun begins. The friends soon find out that getting their money back is not as straightforward as they thought. The hotel manager, Mr. Buxton, is hesitant to give them their money back, and the situation quickly escalates into a hilarious exchange between the three of them.
Soon, the police are called, and Jack and Victor find themselves in the middle of a Scottish stand-off with Mr. Buxton. The scene is full of classic Scottish humor and slapstick comedy.
Eventually, the friends do get their money back, but they are left with no hotel, nowhere to go, and no money. It seems like their holiday is over before it even started. However, as always, Jack and Victor manage to come up with a plan. They decide to camp out on the beach and enjoy the rest of their holiday under the stars.
The episode ends with Jack and Victor sitting by the sea, drinking beer, and looking out into the Scottish horizon. They may not have a luxurious hotel room, but they have each other, and that is all that matters.
Overall, the episode is a classic example of Scottish humor. It is full of slapstick comedy, witty one-liners, and dry humor. The episode manages to capture the essence of Scottish culture and the joys of friendship in old age. The show will undoubtedly leave viewers smiling from ear to ear, and eager to continue watching the rest of the season.
