Series 2 (2003)

With the first series a hit, BBC Scotland ordered an extended length nine-episode second series for 2003. This series features such comic moments as the lads discovering 'happy pills' and Winston having to pretend to be Ida's 'pumpkin' lover.

Series 4 (2005)

Series 5 (2006)

The fifth series sees the residents of Craiglang being funnier than ever. Amongst other things, Jack and Victor visit a brewery, do a bit of DIY, take a 'pleasure' cruise and become wedding chauffeurs! The special at the end of this series is particularly good - it features a flash-back that shows how all the characters used to look when they were younger.

2007 Festive Specials

At the end of 2007 there were two specials. Jack and Victor joined the Community Choir, whilst in the Hogamanay special they went on a retreat in Tighnahulish. These specials turned out to be the last episodes for nine years as the creators had a disagreement and stopped talking to each other.
