Building on the success of The Afternoon Show’s BBC Radio Scotland coverage from the festival, Janice and Grant will also be doing a TV version this year entitled The Edinburgh Show. Across three weeks, the duo will bring their mix of art, music and mirth from the festival on BBC Radio Scotland four days a week. And on the BBC Scotland television channel, across the same period, they will have hourly episodes, broadcasting three times a week (Tues-Thurs). Among the attractions for their first outing on TV together will be entertaining banter with chat show legend Craig Ferguson, recently returned to Scotland after conquering LA, and music from the Electric Swing Circus Band. Over the course of three weeks further highlights will include ‘bon mots’ from Rose McGowan, Scottish writer Erin Carter and comic Jayde Adams, with chat and music from a cache of theatre productions ranging from The Aretha Franklin Story to What Girls Are Made Of. Janice said: “It’s always a thrill to present our shows from the heart of the Edinburgh Festival - an unbeatable mix of the best in comedy, theatre, music, books and much more. We’ll have big names on the Afternoon Show stage - and even more exciting, the stars of tomorrow. And this year we will also be sharing it with the new BBC Scotland channel." Also having a new three-week slot is Susan Calman’s Fringe Benefits, which was piloted in 2018. Her new series will be shown first on BBC Scotland and then at a later date on BBC Four. Both The AfternoonShow/Edinburgh Show and Susan Calman’s series will be coming from the BBC base at George Heriot’s School in Lauriston Place. The emphasis for Susan Calman will be on new and top names in comedy at Edinburgh and Susan will also talk to some of the biggest celebrities in town this year. Susan said: “I'm delighted to be back on the BBC this August with three episodes of Fringe Benefits! We want to showcase the best and the funniest comedy happening in Edinburgh whether it be stand up, sketch or the surreal. Hosting a show that brings the best of the Fest to audiences at home is an absolute treat” Among those joining Susan on the sofa for the first show at the BBC festival base will be Larry Dean, Iain Stirling, Ronnie Ancona, Frank Skinner and Lewis MacLeod with stand-up from Jo Caulfield. BBC Scotland’s digital arts strand Loop started three years ago showcasing arts and emerging artists from across Scotland on BBC Scotland’s digital outlets, but this year it also moved to TV on the new BBC Scotland channel. The TV series brings together stories about well-known Scottish cultural figures and different arts practices, on a given theme, along with short films on new talent. After a six-week spring run, the TV version returns on the channel with three of the four episodes in August, featuring festival content with Digital continuing its presence online in the interim. The accent for Loop on BBC Scotland will be on a wide range of arts being showcased at the festival, including interviews with top names from the international festival and exciting talent from the fringe. Steve Carson, Head of Multi-Platform Commissioning, said: “The Edinburgh festivals in August bring the world to Scotland for an arts extravaganza that is beyond equal and the BBC each year provides a wide range of coverage across TV, radio and online. “But this year with the new BBC Scotland channel we have the opportunity to offer even more of the festivals, to give our audience a ringside seat wherever they are in the country, providing a wide range of the arts with Loop and Janice and Grant, and an intimate take on the cutting edge comedy of Edinburgh with Susan Calman, as well as, of course, ongoing news and feature items across TV, radio and online.” Festival news will also be featured on Reporting Scotland, with special reports from arts correspondent Pauline McLean, as well as coverage on BBC Scotland’s The Nine with a special festival edition of entertainment news show The Edit, plus news coverage on Radio Scotland and online. Radio Scotland As well as The Afternoon Show with Janice Forysth and Grant Stott, BBC Radio Scotland’s programming from the festivals also includes Mornings with Stephen Jardine, Breaking the News, Travelling Folk, Jazz Nights, Shereen and Vic Galloway. Breaking the News is back at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for some 5 Star Satire, with shows broadcast on August 8, 15 and 21. Host Des Clarke will be joined by a mixture of the finest Scottish comedy talent and some of the best the Fringe has to offer, to take a wry look at the biggest stories at home and abroad. Featuring over the weeks will be Ed Byrne, Val McDermid, Andy Zaltzman, Janey Godley, Jena Friedman, Raymond Mearns, Zoe Lyons, Christopher MacArthur Boyd, Catherine Bohart, Stuart Mitchell, Laura Lexx and Aaron Gillies. Travelling Folk with Bruce MacGregor will be coming from the BBC’s Big Blue Tent on Wednesday 14th August featuring live music from Shooglenifty, Rachel Sermanni and Rowan Rheingans. Jazz Nights will be live from Edinburgh on 11th August from 7 – 9pm presented by Seonaid Aitken with special guests guitarist Martin Taylor, pianist Brian Kellock and singer Georgia Cecile with pianist Euan Stevenson. It will also feature the irrepressible Richard Michael making another trip back in jazz history in his time machine. For Vic Galloway’s festival special broadcast on August 26, he will host two of the finest alternative artists Scotland has to offer; Glasgow’s SAY Award winning Sacred Paws bring the indie-pop sunshine and Edinburgh’s Stillhound provide dynamic electronic song-writing from their eponymous second album. Stephen Jardine will be live from Edinburgh on Friday mornings on BBC Radio Scotland on 9th, 16th and 23rd August. Based at the heart of the BBC hub in Edinburgh, Stephen and guests will focus on the big issues raised at this year’s Festivals – opening up the lines to the audience to give them their say. For the duration of The Fringe, Shereen will be de-camping her weekly discussion show to Edinburgh. Presenter Shereen Nanjiani will be bringing us her usual unique take on that week’s events over a festival breakfast with regular contributors and special guests from the Festival. Also being recorded at the BBC Festival base for later transmission on BBC Radio Scotland is When Grant Met Andy – with best friends Grant Stott and Andy Gray talking about Andy’s illness and career and the importance of friendship – and The Good and The Bad and the Unexpected with comic Mark Nelson leading a panel of comedians and personalities dissecting the good, the bad and the unexpected in life. BBC Radio nan Gàidheal Over the course of the Festival BBC Radio nan Gàidheal’s Feasgar show will deploy its crack team of ‘real reviewers’, listeners who will visit a variety of shows and then tell it like it is to presenter Cathy MacDonald. BBC Scotland Digital Online platform BBC The Social presents Drag Cabaret Live, a one-off showcase of Scotland's vibrant drag scene in the heart of Edinburgh Festival. Six acts will battle it out for the title of Drag King or Queen. BBC Studios comedy shorts Short Stuff will be recording highlights of Scottish comedy at the Fringe for BBC Scotland social media. BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is performing two concerts at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, both of which are being recorded for broadcast on Radio 3. In the first, Chief Conductor Thomas Dausgaard directs Grieg’s famous music for Peer Gynt which is paired with composer Sofia Gubaidulina’s Glorious Percussion, with Colin Currie as the soloist. Part of an EIF celebration of the work of Sir James MacMillan marking his 60th birthday, the concert on 17 August sees the BBC SSO joined by Portuguese conductor Joana Carneiro and organist Stephen Farr for the sonic spectacle and riotous fun of A Scotch Bestiary, before the intense drama of MacMillan’s virtuosic, kaleidoscopic concerto for orchestra Woman of the Apocalypse. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo BBC One Under the theme Kaleidoscope, this year’s Tattoo aims to capture the imaginations of audience goers through a series of performances bold with colour and light, comparable to the optical invention which was created by Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster in 1816.

It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.

In a year of celebrations for Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary comes to a spectacular close with the world premiere of CEO / Artistic Director Christopher Hampson’s The Snow Queen. The glittering new production will provide the stage for a special performance capture that will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Four, and close the story on the Five Wishes campaign and a heartwarming documentary of the same name that will be broadcast on BBC One (Scotland) and BBC Scotland. The Snow Queen BBC Scotland audiences will be treated to a special performance of this new ballet as the glittering production takes over their homes, with a feature length screening. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale, The Snow Queen is a story of love and friendship. From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, the production takes a journey to the Snow Queen’s palace and finds her surrounded by the icy fragments of an enchanted mirror. Guaranteed to transport the whole family to a place of wonder, The Snow Queen is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, in collaboration with multi-award winning designer Lez Brotherston. Set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the score will be performed by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

Catherine started performing stand-up in 2015 and since then has enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks of UK and Irish comedy. In 2016, she was a finalist in both the BBC New Comedy Awards and Funny Women, drawing praise in the final of the former for having “a distinctive voice and a story you’d like to hear” (Chortle) and in the latter for being “pretty much the perfect comedy package” (Beyond The Joke). 2016 also saw Catherine and fellow comic Cally Beaton perform their show Catcall for a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe, enjoying packed houses and stellar reviews.

An autobiographical hour about her life as the bisexual, OCD daughter of the Catholic deacon, Immaculate received widespread acclaim, the Times newspaper describing it in their four star review as “the sort of perfectly structured Edinburgh debut you always hope for and rarely get to see.” August 2019 saw Catherine’s second hour-long show, Lemon, enjoy a month of sold-out shows and excellent reviews.

  • The Comedy Unit, and a BBC Scotland Television Series, River City (BBC, 2002-Date)
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Creative Industries Policy and Practice: A Study of BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen Lynne Alison Hibberd BA (Hons), MPhil Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow Faculty of Arts and Humanities Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies December 2008 © Lynne Alison Hibberd 2008 2 Abstract This thesis examines creative industries policy in film and television in Scotland. It explores the impact that different approaches to creative industries policy have on creative practice in two media industries, BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen, and reflects on how each of these bodies articulates its role as a „national‟ institution. BBC Scotland is the Scottish branch of the UK‟s largest public service broadcaster, while Scottish Screen exists on a far smaller scale, to serve the screen industries in Scotland. The thesis examines the role of BBC Scotland in sustaining the creative economy and contributing to the cultural life of Scotland. The study of Scottish Screen examines a key early aim of the agency, that of establishing a national film studio. The work investigates the connections between UK and Scottish levels of creative industries policy in light of the debates over the future of public service broadcasting and the Scottish Executive‟s cultural policy framework. The study outlines how ideas of cultural creativity and its economic significance have developed, charts how these ideas have affected policy debate, and explores the extent to which devolution has affected film and television policy.
