As a renowned Gaelic singer, a top class piper, a writer and a pioneering entertainer who put Gaelic comedy on the map with his popular TV series, 'Tormod air Telly' in the 70s, Norman's life was one of many twists and turns. His final years though saw him return to Uist - a time which was happy, contented and truly rewarding. In a unique interview to mark 50 years in showbiz, which was recorded just before his 80th birthday, Norman looked back at his life in a frank, and candid way, with that trademark wit to the fore and a sparkle very much still in his eyes. IS _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bannan Monday, 9 October BBC ALBA, 10.00pm – 10.35pm A conversation with Ceitidh takes Claire a step closer to the truth about what happened to Pàdruig, and a witness reveals what they saw. Meanwhile Màiri and Alasdair have some news to share with Tormod and Iseabail and as Ciorstaidh prepares to leave the island to go to university, Iain realises how much he will miss her. IS TUESDAY 10 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 41 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Tuesday 10 October BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm facebook.com/bbcrivercity twitter.com/bbcrivercity instagram.com/bbcrivercity This week in Shieldinch…Pete feels the pressure when he finally tracks down his estranged wife, Francesca; Annie’s attempts to embrace normality are thrown when she discovers the identity of Alex’s new business partner; and Frankie’s behaviour causes Amber concern. Pete’s thrilled to have finally tracked down his wife, Francesca and sets about persuading her to grant him a quickie divorce. Fearful of what will happen if Caitlin meets his wife, Pete begs Angus and Bob to let him use their flat as neutral territory to talk to Francesca. However, Francesca misreads Pete’s actions and assumes he wants to rekindle their relationship. Despite Pete’s best efforts to keep them apart, it’s not long before Francesca and Caitlin come face- to-face and sparks fly. Firmly caught between his past and present loves, Pete soon finds himself manipulated by emotion and blackmailed by Francesca. Elsewhere, Annie realises her family need stability and routine in order to overcome their grief. She decides to return to work but keeping busy fails to distract her from an uncomfortable truth about Alex – he killed someone. Unsure about the future of their marriage, Annie’s further shocked to discover Alex is in business with Rick Harper again. Frankie starts to feel dizzy while out for a run and Amber comes to her aid. Suspecting she’s pushing herself too hard, Amber asks if she’s eating enough but Frankie misreads her concern as interference. However, it soon becomes clear Amber may be on the right track after all. Pete is played by Andy Gray, Francesca by Karen Dunbar, Annie by Dawn Steele, Alex by Jordan Young, Frankie by Louise McMenemy, Amber by Jenny Hulse, Caitlin by Gayle Telfer Stevens, Angus by Scott Fletcher, Bob by Stephen Purdon and Rick by Alex Ferns. JW _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scotland's Game Changers / Breab agus Buaidh NEW Tuesday, 10 October BBC ALBA, 9.00pm – 10.00pm Football has always been Scotland's favourite sport, but the Scottish team hasn't been to the finals of a major tournament since 1998. In the summer of 2017, that all changed when the Scotland Women's National Team took part in the Euro 2017 finals in the Netherlands. This is the story of the women changing the face of Scotland's national game. IS WEDNESDAY 11 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS /BBC WEEK 41 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ceòlmhor@Piping Live! Wednesday, 11 October BBC ALBA, 10.00pm – 10.30pm Recorded at the Piping Live! festival in August 2017, the Ceòlmhor@PipingLive series is presented by Allan MacDonald. The fourth episode features some of the best musicians from this year's festival, including the Peatbog Faeries who have a worldwide fan base, the musical duo Eddie Seaman and Luc McNally and the brilliant and award-winning piper Calum Beaumont. IS THURSDAY 12 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 41 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Beechgrove Garden Last in series Thursday 12 October BBC Two Scotland, 7.00-7.30pm It’s the final programme of the Beechgrove series in 2017 and Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, George Anderson, Chris Beardshaw and Brian Cunningham are all battening down the hatches, preparing the garden for winter but with a barrowload of hopeful hints to anticipate spring. Jim and Carole have succumbed to a touch of tulip fever as they go a little crazy with bulbs, planting in containers, in spring displays and naturalising in the lawn. Carole also visits nonagenarian gardener Sandy Inkster in his immaculate, award winning garden in Cults, Aberdeenshire. Sandy has a long life time of experience to impart from maintaining tartan patterns on the lawn through to keeping your shrubs in beautiful shape. Alongside his beautiful garden, in his 90th year, Sandy’s concession to doing a little less is that he has cut down from two allotments to just the one. Whatever the weather, the programme and series will finish with an impressive harvest display.

    BBC Scotland Delivering Quality First: Overview As a result of the UK Government public spending review, the BBC Licence Fee has been frozen at its current level - £145.50 per annum – until the end of the current Royal Charter (December 2016). With additional financial responsibilities placed upon it – World Service funding, the Welsh language service S4C, support for Local TV, etc. – this has necessitated a BBC budget saving of approximately 16% - 20% over the period. The impact on the BBC, and on BBC Scotland, was outlined in October 2011. In detail: BBC – average savings required per area 20%: in Scotland, requirement is 16% BBC Scotland will be required to reduce its local budget by £16.1million, from £102m to £86m, over the period to the end of financial year 2016/2017. The likely impact will be 100 – 120 post closures and we will look to voluntary redundancy, redeployment where possible/appropriate, etc. News posts will reduce by c. 30, with a simplified management structure (under DQF, 11 News posts were closed last year and 17 proposed for this year); radio potentially could lose 15-20 posts, though investment in distinctive programming will remain a priority, as will sharing content with BBC networks. There will be no drop in hours in News and Current Affairs from BBC Scotland - in fact there will be an increase, with more radio news at weekday lunchtimes. We have already reshaped our offering on Saturday mornings, with more news and current affairs on offer to our audience, instead of late night programming. The overall number of local TV programmes will reduce, though maintenance of quality will remain a priority.

    Scotland Management review 2010/11 a 01 Introduction 14 Looking ahead 19 Contacts 02 Two minute summary 18 Key priorities for next year 20 Scotland management 04 Service performance “ The year saw a further increase in the BBC’s network spend in Scotland to over 7% of the total, exceeding the target set for us by the BBC Trust and the Director-General.” Ken MacQuarrie, Director, BBC Scotland Cover image Nicola Benedetti and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra thrill the audience at the BBC Proms, broadcast live from the Caird Hall in Dundee. Introduction Delivering thrilling output and enthralling our audiences – two principles which have underpinned another hugely creative year for BBC Scotland, with output ranging from the landmark factual documentary Making Scotland’s Landscape with Ian Stewart to the critically acclaimed drama Single Father with David Tennant. In 1996 BBC Scotland’s Annual Review drew attention to a record-breaking year for investment and it looked forward to the potential that a new broadcast centre at Pacific Quay in Glasgow could bring. It also noted a continuing drive for efficiencies across the BBC. Fifteen years on, digital broadcasting is a reality. Pacific Quay is now established and starting to fulfil that potential. Studio utilisation and network investment are once again at record highs. And the financial backdrop against which we operate remains no less challenging. In 2010/11 the full impact of the BBC’s Network Supply Review began to be felt. Network television productions from Scotland continued to grow, with hours of output increasing by over 150% in only two years.
