#1 - Over the Hill
Season 9 - Episode 6 - Aired 3/28/2019
It is the must-see finale as we bid a poignant farewell to Jack, Victor and the rest of the Craiglang gang. While Isa gets into a fix with some cute little animals, Jack and Victor decide to stop putting things off and go on that adventure they have been planning for years. A new month rolls round and Jack is excited to see what new picture he will reveal on his calendar, but tensions quickly rise as Victor tries to meddle in his fun. Heading to The Clansman for a calming pint, they suggest Boabby uncovers November on his calendar, while Tam reveals he is far too stingy to buy one. This marching of time has put Jack into a contemplative mood. He is thinking about how he and Victor should stop making up a load of excuses and should instead accomplish their long-standing ambition to climb the world famous Munro, Ben Lomond. Victor’s bright idea for avoiding disappointment every year is to admit defeat, but Jack is having none of it - they are pioneers and they are going for it! With their new resolve, Jack and Victor invite Tam, Winston and Boaby to join the expedition, which quickly sees them scrabbling around for reasons why they can’t possibly go. Turns out, none of them can come up with anything decent so they find themselves agreeing. It is probably for the best anyway. Over at Navid’s shop, rather than running a mile from charity workers, Isa runs towards them. She is a sucker for a cute little animal story but when Navid finds her acting strangely in the shop, she is forced to admit to him that she has a problem. As Navid conducts an intervention to help Isa onto a better path, the boys head off for Ben Lomond in a bid to conquer that mountain.
#2 - Hitched
Season 9 - Episode 5 - Aired 3/21/2019
There’s a big wedding to organise so the Craiglang pals all rally round to sort a venue, flowers, food and even a band. With such a lot to arrange, will it all go without a hitch? Jack and Victor have a chance encounter with an old pal while enjoying a relaxing sit on a park bench. They’re pleased to hear he is the curator at a museum now (even if they don’t know what a curator is) but the friendly chat soon leaves Jack and Victor reeling as he insults them by saying he can’t hang about doing nothing in a park all day. Meanwhile, Winston has been having the time of his life these last couple of months with his good lady companion. During one particularly brilliant day, involving a wind up at Stevie the Bookies, the excitement of it all gets too much and a wedding proposal slips out. Back in The Clansman, the look on Winston’s face leads Boabby to assume he got a knock back – but it turns out she said yes and they are to be married in ten days. Well, why wait at this age? The trouble is, Winston has promised her the world, but in the cold light of day is convinced he has absolutely nothing whatsoever to offer her. A visit to his new fiancé’s house to call the whole thing off, lands him in it even deeper, so with Winston in a hole, it’s up to his pals to band together and attempt to organise a wedding to remember. There are flowers and food to sort, and while Boabby and his wee black book are under pressure to find a band, Jack and Victor look up their old curator pal in the hope he can come up trumps with a venue.
