STILL GAME LIVE AT THE HYDRO – MORE DATES ADDED
Reuniting the original cast for the first time in six years, Still Game is coming to the stage at Glasgow's new venue The Hydro in just under a year's time. The show was announced earlier this week, with four nights at the venue originally planned, running from 30 September 2014 to 3 October. These dates at the 12,000 capacity arena all sold out immediately, leading to an additional two dates on Sunday 4 October being announced soon after. 

Beginning life as a stage show in 1999, Still Game centres around the lives of old age pensioners Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade, played by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill. Incorporated into Scottish sketch show Chewin' The Fat, the duo proved so popular that eventually they were given their own series, which ran from 2002 until 2007, introducing a fantastic supporting cast of characters who proved just as enduring as Jack and Victor.

Hemphill and Kiernan fell out around 2007, citing "creative differences" – hopes of a reunion seemed unlikely for several years. "We never really stopped talking completely, so there was always the chance we'd get around to bringing the show back," Hemphill told The Herald. "For me, the catalyst was watching the arrival of the Hydro. We figured it would be an incredible arena to play. And now that's what we're planning to do."

With the instant sell-out of their Hydro gig, it has been proved beyond a doubt that fans of the show are still hungry for more, and rumours have started to fly about the possibility of a Christmas Special for TV next year. The entire original cast of the TV show will join Kiernan and Hemphill on stage, including shopkeeper Navid (Sanjeev Kohli), Boaby the Barman (Gavin Mitchell), Isa (Jane McCarry) and Winston (Paul Riley). Tickets are on sale today from The Hydro and usual outlets.

SLAYER SHADES!
As we continue to mourn the loss of the great Jeff Hanneman and their foolishness for punting out Dave Lombardo, as human beings with ears, we can all agree on one thing – Slayer rule hard. The world's greatest extreme metal group may be hardcore, but that doesn't mean they don't love Christmas time – see last year's awesome Slayer jumpers as evidence of their commitment to the seasonal merch market. This year, they have outdone themselves, unveiling a new line of Slayer shades. YESSSSS. Tell Santa to get these bought pronto, or you'll kick him in the baubles.

TRAILERS: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, ANCHORMAN 2
Just time for a quick couple of previews. First up, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which looks marginally less camp than the first film, and features a healthy dose of punching and explosions, which as we all know, makes for good cinema. You can tell this sequel will be 'darker' than the original – check out Cap's new 'I'm super serious, me' costume.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues picks up after the first film's brilliantly ridiculous 70s satire, and traces the career of news anchor Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) through the 80s. Here's the new trailer. The film is out 20 December – just in time for Chrimbo.
