The stars of Still Game are remaining coy over the show's future ahead of their latest stage stint.

Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill will bring Jack and Victor back to Glasgow's SSE Hydro from Saturday after a record-breaking run of shows in 2014.

The new show, titled 'Bon Voyage', will see the return of many characters who featured in the latest series which aired in October as well as some fresh faces.

When questioned over the meaning of the title in an interview on Scotland Tonight, which aired on Monday, the pair refused to be drawn into whether they were saying goodbye to the characters again.

Hemphill said: "We're keeping it strictly under wraps - the element of surprise is absolutely vital and we're keen just to keep our cards as close to our chest as possible."

Kiernan added the title came after writing the show, rather than early on in the process.

He said: "Bon Voyage was just an idea for a title. If people think it is Bon Voyage they might be wrong, or they might be right.

"The last time we were there was of course our reunion show. This time it's not. So we had to reintroduce the characters to an audience who had grown up with in the seven years we weren't working.

"This show is much more aimed at fun and it's a bigger practical show."

The new show will welcome new cast additions including Lorraine McIntosh of Deacon Blue and comedian Bruce Morton, who introduced Kiernan and Hemphill to each other.

In the interview, Kiernan and Hemphill also confirmed the show would not be filmed, broadcast or redistributed on DVD like the previous stage adventure.

Hemphill said: "I think there's less rules and that's something we discovered when we did the Hydro show three years ago. The fourth wall is to be broken and there's fun to be had with the audience.

"The difference with the TV show is being playful with those things and we're sort of investing it this time around by not recording it, because we want to make it a unique theatrical experience.

"We found with the show the last time around the people who watched it on TV something had got lost in translation so we really wanted to make it unique.

"It's the only piece of Still Game performance that won't be recorded or shown anywhere else. That's a definite, 100%.

Kiernan added: "We had journalists asking us, 'surely you must be filming it, and not missing out on that opportunity'. But we just don't want to do it and stuck by our guns.

"It just means if you're not going to be there, you're going to miss it and your pals will say you need to have been there."
