TWO of Scotland's most beloved TV characters will make a return to television screens after almost three years... or at least, their voices will.
Tomorrow, the first-ever TV advert for Jack and Victor Whisky will be aired on STV West at 3.58pm.
Directed by Still Game director Michael Hines, the 20-second advert will run on screens until Wednesday, December 15.
Featuring the voices of Jack and Victor, the advert showcases their new limited edition gift pack which includes two 20cl bottles of blended whisky.

Speaking about the TV advert, Still Game co-creator Ford Kiernan said: "We're regularly asked by fans if we'd ever be back on their screen, so when we were planning the limited-edition Christmas gift pack for our whisky, we thought why not make this the perfect excuse.
"We roped in our old pal Michael Hines who directed Chewin' the Fat and Still Game to help with the ad, so it was nice to have some of the original team back together.
"It was great fun to make, and we're sure fans will love hearing Jack and Victor's voices again.
"This is just the start of what we've got planned for Jack and Victor Whisky in the lead up to Christmas, so just keep your eyes peeled on TV, social media, roads, sky and maybe even the rivers..."
Co-creator Greg Hemphill added: "We've had a great reaction from Still Game fans and whisky drinkers since we launched our own dram earlier this year, and with Christmas round the corner it's the perfect opportunity to share a goldie with pals, which was our thinking around creating the two-bottle gift pack.
"It means you can enjoy a wee bottle each and don't have to worry about someone drinking your share, which is exactly what Tam would have done if he's been around during the tasting sessions."
One bottle in the gift pack is labelled Jack, which is shorter and squatter, while the other taller and more slender bottle is named Victor, a nod to their on-screen appearance.
Perfect for any Still Game fan this Christmas, the gift pack will go on sale tomorrow for £29.99.
All orders come with branded coasters and a little surprise and can be purchased HERE.
The advert will be available to view on the Jack and Victor social media channels after it airs on TV.
