Produced by Scottish indie Move On Up, Katie Morag is a 26-part series for CBeebies. Filming on Katie Morag is expected to start in May for four months using both studio facilities on the island as well as the beautiful Hebridean landscape – a key part of the Katie Morag adventures. Against a backdrop of the remote and beautiful Hebridean Islands, the stories will celebrate the intrinsic sense of community, the preciousness of the environment and the universal tensions and joys of family life. Katie Morag is a small red-headed girl who lives with her family on the magical Scottish Island of Struay. Although she lives in a unique setting, her stories portray some of the enduring themes of childhood. Casting for the CBeebies drama is underway and will be announced in due course. Lindy Cameron, Executive Producer, for Cromarty-based Move On Up is thrilled to be bringing the filming to the Isle of Lewis: “It was important to us to try and keep as much of this production in the Highlands as we were able and we're just delighted that we've been given the support to help with that. By shooting the entire series in such a unique and beautiful setting, and making good use of all the innate facilities and skills that Lewis has to offer us, we hope that the benefit to the Island, and to all of the Hebrides, will be great.” Sara Harkins, CBeebies/BBC Scotland Executive Producer, adds: “The Katie Morag books have been delighting children for many years with engaging stories set on a beautiful Scottish Island. These adventures will now come to life in a live action drama series and we’re sure the combination of Mairi’s compelling stories, the passion of the Scottish Indie Move on Up, and the stunning Scottish landscape will make Katie Morag even more popular with fans new and old.” Mairi Buchanan from Highlands and Islands Enterprise said: "By bringing Katie Morag to life in the Outer Hebrides, this TV series will highlight the potential of the area as a base for major productions, boosting both the local supply chain and tourism industry. This flagship production has the potential to showcase the scenery, landscape and culture of the Scottish islands which Mairi Hedderwick highlighted when writing the Katie Morag stories. Our support for the Creative Industries sector recognises not only its social value to local communities, but also its potential to drive economic growth." Mark Thomas, Development Officer at Creative Scotland commented: “Katie Morag is one of the most loved Scottish literary characters ever created and we are delighted to support the realisation of Mairi Hedderwick's enthralling stories that delight young and old alike. The Isle of Lewis is a beautiful location and the perfect setting for this high profile, quality children’s television series. Move On Up's commitment to basing the production on Lewis will bring a welcome and significant boost to tourism and the local economy.” Katie Morag will be executive produced by Lindy Cameron for Move on Up and by Sara Harkins and Michael Towner for CBeebies. It has also received support from BBC Scotland, Creative Scotland and Highlands and Islands Enterprise and will be broadcast on CBeebies in Autumn 2013. Julie Whiteside Karen Williams / Jo Clayton EDITORIAL 2013 / BBC WEEK 10 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ CRIME AND PUNISHMENT SEASON ON BBC RADIO SCOTLAND BBC Radio Scotland’s Crime and Punishment season begins this week on BBC Radio Scotland with programmes looking at the subject from a range of different approaches. Killing: The History of Murder in Scotland is a four-part series beginning Monday 4 March, presented by Billy Kay, looking at what violent crime can tell us about society in its different stages of development. Episode one (Blood and Honour) focuses on the blood feud vendettas of the 1950s to the lethal duels of the 18th century. In Living with the Evidence, a one-off programme, Isabel Fraser looks at the demands placed on those who are called to jury service, and whether the courts are demanding too much from individuals. Tartan Noir, a three-part series presented by Edi Stark, looks at the lucrative Scottish crime genre, said to have been established by William McIlvanney with the publication of his first Laidlaw novel. In the first episode on Wednesday 6 March Edi talks to Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Denise Mina, Stuart McBride, Christopher Brookmyre and McIlvanney himself about the origins of ‘tartan noir’. Finally this week, Love Behind Bars takes a different perspective on the subject as crime writer and investigator Neil Mackay hears from Becky, a mother who had to come to terms with her son’s conviction for rape. Susie Miller Please note: The Crime and Punishment season on BBC Radio Scotland will continue in following weeks with How to Go To Jail with crime writer Louise Welsh, and A Life After Crime presented by Ricky Ross. Details will follow in subsequent PI. SUNDAY 3 MARCH TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 10 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sportscene: Kilmarnock v Hibernian NEW Sunday 3 March BBC One Scotland, 2.45 – 5.00 pm (kick-off 3.00pm) Sportscene brings full live coverage as Hibernian travel to Kilmarnock for the last of the weekend's ties with a place in the semi-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup at stake. Pat Fenlon's Hibs will be hoping to return to Hampden in May to extinguish the bad memories they will have of last season's all-Edinburgh Scottish Cup Final when they lost 5-1 to their old rivals Hearts. They've already put the Tynecastle side out of this year's competition as well as another SPL side, Aberdeen. Kenny Shiels’s Kilmarnock side navigated its way through a tricky fourth round match against Second Division pace-setters Queen of the South, followed by a 2-0 victory over an in-form Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the last round. The Rugby Park team lifted Scottish Cup for the third time in 1997 and haven't been to the final since then, so will be hoping to add the 2013 Scottish Cup to last season's famous League Cup triumph. The programme also features news of the Dundee Derby played earlier and a review of Saturday's matches. Sportscene is introduced by Rob Maclean and he’s joined in the studio by Mixu Paatelainen and Pat Nevin. Liam McLeod and Craig Paterson provide the commentary. Jim Gough MONDAY 4 MARCH TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS /BBC WEEK 10 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Killing: The History of Murder in Scotland, Prog 1/4 NEW Monday 4 March BBC Radio Scotland, 2.05 – 2.35pm bbc.co.uk/radioscotland In the first episode of this series (Blood and Honour), Billy Kay explores the role of aristocratic male honour in the history of murder in Scotland - from the blood feud vendettas of the 1590s to the lethal duels of the 18th century. Across the series, as well as tales of blood being spilled, Billy reveals what violent crime tells us about society at different stages of development. There is one constant - men commit up to 90% of murders and comprise 70% of its victims. This programme explores the concept of male honour, linking knife-wielding gangs in our cities today with the noblemen of the past. Billy also speaks to Keith Brown, author of Bloodfeud in Scotland 1573 - 1625, and discovers that over 390 murderous feuds raged across Scotland at that time. Susie Miller TUESDAY 5 MARCH TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 10 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Tuesday 5 March BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm bbc.co.uk/rivercity This week in Shieldinch…Stevie and Stella try to keep things casual; Lenny teaches Cal about courage; and Liz gets a birthday surprise. Stella sneaks off early to spend time with Stevie – but they are spotted by a suspicious Gabriel. He tries to warn Stella from having an affair, after all he knows how badly it can end, but Stella insists it’s very casual. Stevie is doing the same but is riled when he sees Stella playing happy families with Bob later that day. Stevie brushes it aside though and asks Stella to go away with him for a night – but Stella says that can never happen. They get interrupted by a good looking sales rep who has come to meet with Stevie – and Stella soon gets a touch of the green-eyed monster herself. With everything getting a bit more serious the pair soon call it off, which is just in time for Stevie, as Nicole turns up with some news. Cal is terrified of going to the hospital and has stopped eating.

There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/119124/ Deposited on: 11 July 2016 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Screen, vol 57, no. 2, Summer 2016 Growing up and growing old with television: peripheral viewers and the centrality of care AMY HOLDSWORTH AND KAREN LURY ‘Katie Morag’ lives on the (fictional) Scottish Island of Struay. Every night, before she goes to sleep, she shines a torch from her bedroom window across the moonlit bay. From out of the darkness a small light twinkles in response, as one of Katie’s grandmothers, ‘Grannie Island’, shines a light back to the young girl. Adapted from the books by Mairi Hedderwick (first published in 1984), Katie Morag (2013– ) is a recent success for CBeebies, the digital preschool channel of the BBC. This oft-repeated, flickering night-time communication, reflecting the special bond between child and grandmother, is central to our discussion of the alliance between the ‘old’ and the ‘young’ that opens our investigation of television and care. Katie Morag is symptomatic of a cluster of programmes that bring older people, often through familial connections, into the young child’s world. In addition, and also set within seaside communities, there are the adventures of a magically shrinking grandfather, played by James Bolam, in Grandpa in My Pocket (CBeebies, 2009– ) and the tales of a retired fisherman in Old Jack’s Boat (CBeebies, 2013), in which ‘Jack’ is played by Bernard Cribbins.1 The children’s documentary series My Story (CBeebies, 2012– ) and My Life (CBBC, 2012– ) have also emphasized intergenerational relationships through family histories and contemporary realities.
