Clydebuilt – The Ships That Made the Commonwealth, Ep 1/4 NEW Monday 31 March BBC Two Scotland, 9.00-10 pm bbc.co.uk/clydebuilt
In a brand new series for BBC Two Scotland, and as part of the BBC’s Glasgow 2014 output, Clydebuilt – The Ships That Made the Commonwealth, tells the stories of four incredible ships, built on the River Clyde, that helped to forge links with countries throughout the modern Commonwealth. In the first episode actor David Hayman recalls the remarkable journey of the Cutty Sark, one of the most famous ships in the world. Even today thousands of visitors every year admire her in her final resting place of Greenwich in London. From her early days as a tea clipper, to the fire that ravaged her in 2007, the Cutty Sark’s story is one of adventure, money, mutiny and even murder. To uncover the fascinating details, David travels to Australia to look at the cultural ties with Britain that remain to this day. David also meets the family of a former first mate on the Cutty Shark, who has gone down in history as the man who murdered a deckhand on board. David Hayman says, “The Cutty Sark is embedded in the public imagination because she tells the story of our glorious past, how she created lasting colonial links through trade, how she shaped and touched the places she visited, and left a wonderful cultural legacy in her wake. That is why she remains a true icon of the seas.” The series will also look at the stories of the CS Mackay Bennett, Robert E Lee and HMS Hood.

TUESDAY 1 APRIL TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 13 ______
River City Tuesday 1 April BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm
This week in Shieldinch…following the dramatic showdown, DCI Donald is determined Billy won’t evade justice; DS Grant’s career is on the line in the aftermath of the shoot-out; and guilt takes hold of Gabriel as he realises he made a fatal mistake. As Mandy fights for her life in the ICU unit, DS Grant anxiously watches on, aware that she’s partly responsible. DCI Donald tells her to be thankful Mandy’s still alive. DCI Donald interrogates Lenny but he falls short on his promise to reveal all, refusing to give up the Spanish drugs ring, knowing he’ll put himself in jeopardy. When DCI Donald interviews DS Grant about the shooting, he’s alarmed by her confused recollections. As Grant struggles to recall crucial details, DCI Donald reveals Mandy was unarmed when shot. Worse still, Mandy succumbs to her injuries putting the police under the spotlight. Gabriel arrives at the hospital asking how Mandy is but keeps their relationship hidden. However, his obvious distress arouses suspicion. DCI Donald reveals Mandy is dead, leading Gabriel to believe it was Billy, not the police marksmen, who fired the fatal shot. But while Gabriel is heartbroken by the news, Billy shows no remorse whatsoever. Just as Billy believes he’ll evade prosecution, DCI Donald gets the upper hand by arresting him for the murder of Paul Malick. Confident the charge won’t stick, Billy’s unaware there’s a police informant on board – Jimmy Mullen. Elsewhere, the burden of going against Billy weighs heavily on Jimmy. Frightened of what awaits, Jimmy is buoyed by Scarlett’s support – until Kelly-Marie reveals a secret threat was made to Cal.
DCI Donald is played by Robin Laing, Billy by Alexander Morton, DS Grant by Therese Bradley, Gabriel by Garry Sweeney, Mandy by Julie Austin, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Jimmy by Billy McElhaney, Scarlett by Sally Howitt and Kelly-Marie by Carmen Pieraccini.

Oscar Marzaroli: Man With A Camera, Ep 1/1 NEW Tuesday 1 April BBC Two Scotland, 10.00-10.30pm
Oscar Marzaroli was the last great Scottish photographer of the pre-digital age. For the best part of thirty years he travelled the length and breadth of the country documenting the last of the old ways of life and the first of the new. More than 50 years after he took his first photo the full extent of Marzaroli’s archive is still being revealed. No other modern Scottish photographer has created such a vast and varied body of documentary work.Oscar took photos all over Scotland but the place to which he kept returning was his adopted home Glasgow. From the early 1960s until his death in 1988 he catalogued the transformation of the city and was as close as it gets to being its photographer in residence, documenting its changes at a crucial period when the nature of Glasgow was being irrevocably changed. Marie Claire Maccabe, Oscar’s daughter, said: “After he died I wanted to keep his name alive. Even now, 25 years later I’m still engrossed by it. I still think my goodness there’s no one else got a body of photography like this in Scotland with the kind of passion he has but also that sense that people understand his work, not just people from the art world. We have about fifty thousand negs there, we've only seen maybe, I think probably about three thousand at the very most at any given time, out of all that, that big collection, so there's lots more to see.”
Oscar Marzaroli: Man with a Camera is a Hopscotch Films production.

The workers here slave away at archaic machinery in absolute squalor, turning 14 million skins into leather. Toxic products used on the leather burn their skin, cause cancer and kill most before fifty.

The Beechgrove Garden NEW Thursday 3 April BBC Two Scotland, 7.30-8.00pm (screened on network BBC Two on the following Sunday morning)
Beechgrove is back and for most of the country it’s waders rather than wellies that are essential kit to get gardening this spring. Given the rain of recent months, the first programme of its 2014 run is taking a look at soggy, boggy gardens across the country, including the new and unintended paddling pool in the Beechgrove Fruit House. Carole Baxter will also have a special report on the Scottish Rock Garden Club’s Early Bulb Display, filmed on a snowy February day in Dunblane, while George Anderson is also reflecting on early season colour – with swathes of aconites, iris and a magnificent collection of snowdrops – at Ann and Charles Fraser’s garden in Inveresk. Over the course of the run, Chris Beardshaw will be helping two families – one in Portlethen and another in Cove – create two different gardens from scratch, and on a tight budget, from the rubble soil of new build estates. W hile Jim McColl will be getting to grips with the allotmenteers of Mintlaw, in Aberdeenshire, Last year, this was a field and now it is 42 new allotment sites, ready to get growing. Jim will be tracking the progress of this new gardening community, sharing knowledge and experience between the old hands and the young families taking a stake in this new venture. Carole will be providing updates on another project – a new Kitchen Garden that is being designed and tended by volunteers and community groups at Scone Palace Gardens, near Perth. The Beechgrove community gardens specials, this year will be from the Wee Gardens project, Dunlop, the Glenorchy Community Orchard and Garden, Dalmally, and the Auchencairn Link Park, near Castle Douglas, and starting with Easthaven Community Garden in late June.
