Filming began last week at BBC Scotland’s Dumbarton studios and the six-week shoot will visit locations across Glasgow.

The Vienna singer said: “This supersedes the OBE. Being in Still Game is like the comedy version of getting a Blue Peter badge which I wear with pride.

“The way I see it, if you’re going to be humiliated it might as well be in a comedy you love.”

Line of Duty actor Compston will play a new one-off character role while Mr Rock and Rock Roll singer Macdonald will make a short appearance.

Still Game made its TV debut in 2002 and returned in 2016 after a nine-year hiatus.

It became the most-watched programme in over a decade in Scotland, attracting more than half of the viewing audience.
