Set in a hospital radio station in a Glasgow psychiatric hospital, the six-part series first aired in 1994 and starred David Tennant and Ken Stott. Stott stars as Eddie McKenna, a double-glazing salesman who moonlights as a DJ for hospital radio in the St Jude’s Hospital mental asylum. There, he nurtures close friendships with the patients including Campbell (Tennant) a manic depressive whom he shares a dream to make it onto the commercial radio scene, self-harmer Francine (Katy Murphy), schizophrenic electrical engineer Fergus (Angus Macfadyen) and OCD housewife Rosalie (Ruth McCabe). Campbell's inspired antics promise to bring the commercial radio dream closer, but the pressures of life outside of the hospital begin to tell on Eddie. Takin’ Over The Asylum provided breakthrough acting roles for both Stott and Tennant. The black comedy went on to win several awards as well as praise from mental-health groups. JW MONDAY 1 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 27 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Monday 1 July, BBC Scotland HD, 10.00-11.00pm Tuesday 2 July, BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm facebook.com/bbcrivercity twitter.com/bbcrivercity instagram.com/bbcrivercity This week in Shieldinch…Nicole goes to extreme lengths to fight for Alex’s affections; Amber’s irked by Eve cosying up to Lou; and Stevie’s rocked by Lenny’s shocking confession. Optimistic about a future with Alex, Nicole brags about her relationship little realising he’s got other ideas. When Alex brushes off her affections, Nicole’s devastated. Adding insult to injury she spots him growing close to Poppy. Hurt, Nicole confronts Alex who quickly shuts down her relationship dream – she was just a fling. Nicole decides to play dirty to get rid of her love rival, which leads her to turn to Lenny to take revenge against Alex and his latest love interest. Elsewhere, Eve tries to get closer to her secret daughter Lou but her obvious interest is misconstrued as infatuation. As Lou grows increasingly uneasy by Eve’s behaviour, the doctor questions Gabriel about his past with Amber. In an attempt to learn more about the woman her daughter is dating, Eve’s constant questioning only raises suspicion leading to a heated showdown with Amber. Lenny smarts as he watches Alex’s latest love life drama unfold. Irked that his son has moved on so quickly following his affair with Lydia, Lenny’s anger grows. Drinking heavily, Lenny talks to Lydia which causes concern for Stevie. Later, Stevie’s left stunned when Lenny makes a startling confession. Nicole is played by Holly Jack, Alex by Jordan Young, Amber by Jenny Hulse, Eve by Victoria Liddelle, Lou by Lesley Hart, Stevie by Iain Robertson, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Poppy by Lindsey Campbell, Gabriel by Garry Sweeney and Lydia by Jacqueline Leonard.

JW TUESDAY 2 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 27 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Children of the Devolution, Ep 2/2 LAST IN THE SERIES Tuesday 2 July BBC Scotland, 10.00 – 11.00pm On the 20th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament, journalist and broadcaster Allan Little embarks on a journey across Scotland meeting people from different generations to find out how their lives have been changed by devolution, and to ask whether the Scottish Parliament has the imagination, the courage and the power to meet the challenges of the future. He meets those in their sixties who remember Scotland before devolution, those in their 30s and 40s who came of age in the 90s when the parliament began, and the younger generations who have never known a Scotland without a parliament. In this second episode, Allan explores some of the Parliament’s flagship policies. He heads to the pub to discuss the smoking ban, goes back to his old school in Stranraer to canvass opinion on free university tuition and travels to the Highlands to reflect on the challenges posed by Scotland’s ageing population. He also takes the temperature of the health service in a devolved Scotland, hears how immigration continues to be a contentious area of policy between Holyrood and Westminster and travels to Dundee to get the inside track on an economic success story. As he makes his way across the nation, Allan also gets the inside story on the Parliament’s first two decades from First Ministers, MSPs, journalists and campaigners. JG Dreach Ur Monday 1 July BBC ALBA, 8.30-9.00pm Shona Masson is on a mission not only to reduce waste but to create exciting new things as she does it. In this episode, Shona visits a charity shop in Bearsden where she spots a vintage wedding dress. The dress is lovely but could do with some updating, so she takes it up to Shona Maclellan in Stornoway who makes it into a modern classic. Shona also makes some confetti poppers using toilet roll tubes and some wild seed bombs for wedding favours using scrap paper and petals. Great tips for an upcycled wedding. IS WEDNESDAY 3 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 27 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Flour Power, Ep 5/10 Wednesday 3 July BBC Scotland, 8.00-8.30pm In this episode Flour Power is in Glasgow at The Tron Theatre. In what’s sure to be a dramatic affair, Business Development Manager Lucy, Front of House Manager Khaliq, Press and Marketing Officer Olivia and her manager Lindsay, do battle for the prestigious Flour Power trophy. The stage is set as our four bakers head home to create their baked goods. Favourite Lindsay gets busy with her raspberry, fresh coconut and lemon layer cake whilst ‘king of winging it’ Khaliq intends to put his own spin on an online recipe with a first-aid themed entry that leaves his colleagues in stitches. Olivia is hoping she won’t be up all night making her ‘midnight snacklet’ cookies, but can she pull off the presentation? Last but certainly not least, Lucy’s vegetarian breakfast pies are the only savoury entry in the contest and she’ll be hoping they leave series judge Nichola Reith and guest judge Richard Copeland AKA The Wee Baker wanting more. HM THURSDAY 4 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 27 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Al Capone Thursday 4 July BBC ALBA, 10.30-11.25pm Al Capone’s name sparks images of pin stripe suits and bloody violence. To this day we are fascinated with this celebrity gangster. Capone is one of the originals, one of the most notorious gangsters of the twentieth century, believed to have personally murdered dozens of people and ordered the killing of hundreds of others, but that’s only one side of this complicated man. This programme defines Al Capone’s lasting impact and explores why he is an American icon. IS FRIDAY 5 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 27 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Still Game, Ep3/6 – Dead Leg, Part One Friday 5 July BBC One, 9.00-9.30pm In the first of this two-part Still Game special, Winston receives wounding news about his leg; Isa struggles with the creepiness of a new cleaning job; and Tam’s tightfistedness plummets to new depths. Isa’s spooked when Sheathing the undertaker offers her a cleaning job at his funeral home. Unnerved at the thought of dusting close to death, Isa reluctantly makes a deal with Sheathing but her blood runs cold. At the Doctor’s surgery, Winston’s all set for some good banter with his GP. However, laughs aren’t prescribed when the doctor delivers a devastating diagnosis about Winston’s remaining leg. Meanwhile at The Clansman, Tam tries to con Boabby but his miserly ways push the barman too far and he finds himself barred from the pub. Desperate to find a new watering hole, Tam tries to turn Navid’s shop into his new local but is given short shrift and sent packing from there too. As Winston tries to come to terms with the news about his leg, Jack and Victor vow to support their pal in his hour of need. Feeling awkward, Tam avoids talking to Winston until Isa gives him a hard time. She persuades him to see his best pal and urges him to just be himself. However, Tam’s empathy proves abysmal and he spectacularly falls out with Winston leaving their future friendship in jeopardy. Winston is played by Paul Riley, Isa by Jane McCarry, Tam by Mark Cox, Sheathing by Bruce Morton, Doctor by James MacPherson, Boabby by Gavin Mitchell, Navid by Sanjeev Kohli, Jack by Ford Kiernan and Victor by Greg Hemphill. Also starring Shamshad Akhtar as Meena, Lynne McPherson as Peggy, Paul Young as Shug, Kate Donnelly as Frances and Michael Mackenzie as a patient.

  • Service Review
    Delivering Quality First in Scotland DELIVERING QUALITY FIRST IN SCOTLAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BBC is the most trusted broadcaster in Scotland and a core part of the life of the nation. It unites the audience in enjoyment of the most popular TV, radio and online services, while also championing the diversity of the interests, cultures and languages of this nation of islands and regions. It is valued for upholding the highest standards of quality. The BBC’s commitment to Scotland is to offer a range and depth of programming which is both widely relevant and uniquely distinctive. As the only broadcaster which has invested in covering the whole country across all platforms, it is well-placed to do this. The BBC’s ambition in Scotland is to serve as a national forum, connecting the people of Scotland to each other, to the wider UK and to the rest of the world. As a public service broadcaster which has secure funding and global reach, the BBC is well-placed to achieve this. The BBC provides value to audiences in Scotland in two main ways: through programmes and services which are made in and for Scotland specifically; and through programmes and services which are broadcast across the whole UK. In Scotland, the audience rates the BBC as the leading provider of both Scottish news and non-news programming. Reporting Scotland has the highest reach of any news bulletin; TV opt-out programming1 reaches 44% of the audience every week and is highly appreciated; BBC Radio Scotland is second in popularity only to BBC Radio Two; BBC Scotland’s online portfolio has 3.7m weekly UK unique browsers2; and BBC ALBA attracts half a million English-speaking viewers to its Gaelic TV channel every week.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-Up and Substitution
    BBC Scotland Competition Assessment Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-up and Substitution STATEMENT ANNEX Publication Date: 26 June 2018 BBC Scotland Competition Assessment – Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-up and Substitution A2. Channel Take-up and Substitution Introduction A2.1 In order to review the public value and assess the potential impact on fair and effective competition of the BBC’s proposal, we must first consider the audience that the new BBC Scotland channel is likely to attract. This Annex provides our assessment of the likely ’take- up’ of the BBC Scotland channel, i.e. the viewing hours the new channel is likely to attract in Scotland and the viewing share and audience reach it is likely to achieve.1 A2.2 The BBC’s proposal involves associated changes to existing BBC services, in particular BBC Two, BBC Four and CBBC HD in Scotland. We therefore also assess the effect on the viewing of BBC Two, BBC Four and CBBC in Scotland resulting from the BBC’s proposal. A2.3 We then identify the services most likely to be affected by the proposed new channel and the associated changes. We assess the potential audience substitution, including from existing BBC services and commercial services. A2.4 This Annex broadly reflects the assessment of take-up and substitution set out in our Consultation. Where relevant, we have set out the stakeholder views we received in response to our Consultation and how these, along with any further analysis, have influenced our assessment of take-up and substitution. In particular, we set out and respond to stakeholders’ views on: our take-up estimates for the new channel (paragraphs A2.104 to A2.135); and substitution from existing TV channels as a result of the BBC proposal (paragraphs A2.162 to A2.171).

  • Remediating the Eighties: Nostalgia and Retro in British Screen Fiction from 2005 to 2011
    REMEDIATING THE EIGHTIES: NOSTALGIA AND RETRO IN BRITISH SCREEN FICTION FROM 2005 TO 2011 Thesis submitted by Caitlin Shaw In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2015 2 3 ABSTRACT This doctoral thesis studies a cycle of British film and television fictions produced in the years 2005-2011 and set retrospectively in the 1980s. In its identification and in-depth textual and contextual analysis of what it terms the ‘Eighties Cycle’, it offers a significant contribution to British film and television scholarship. It examines eighties- set productions as members of a sub-genre of British recent-past period dramas begging unique consideration outside of comparisons to British ‘heritage’ dramas, to contemporary social dramas or to actual history. It shows that incentives for depicting the eighties are wide-ranging; consequently, it situates productions within their cultural and industrial contexts, exploring how these dictate which eighties codes are cited and how they are textually used. The Introduction delineates the Eighties Cycle, establishes the project’s academic and historical basis and outlines its approach. Chapter 1 situates the work within the academic fields that inform it, briefly surveying histories and socio-cultural studies before examining and assessing existing scholarship on Eighties Cycle productions alongside critical literature on 1980s, 90s and contemporary British film and television; nostalgia and retro; modern media, history and memory; British and American period screen fiction; and transmedia storytelling. Chapter 2 considers how a selection of productions employing ‘the eighties’ as a visual and audio style invoke and assign meaning to commonly recognised aesthetic codes according to their targeted audiences and/or intended messages.
