Gary McLintoch of Tank Commander fame turns documentary filmmaker as he goes to Los Angeles to explore the ups and downs of life in Tinseltown and meet the Scots who’ve relocated there. In Gary Goes to Hollywood, the alter-ego of actor Greg McHugh meets Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan and showbiz legend Ross King to find out why they moved away, what they make of La La Land and what they miss about home. Gary’s stateside venture is part of the Hogmanay offering on BBC One Scotland which features Jonathan Watson and the Only An Excuse? team putting the boot into the headlines that have dominated Scottish football and life over the past 12 months. In Hogmanay Live 2018 Jackie Bird will bring in the New Year from the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow with a line-up of guests which includes singers Alesha Dixon and Karine Polwart and actor Gregor Fisher who’ll celebrate the 40th anniversary of Scotch & Wry by paying homage to the late, great Rikki Fulton and his famous character, Rev I.M Jolly. Another comedy legend, Billy Connolly, will be celebrated in a two part documentary series. The first episode of Billy Connolly: Made in Scotland which is built around intimate interviews with the great man himself plus the views of contributors including Val McDermid, Sharleen Spiteri and Eddie Izzard airs on Friday 28 December on BBC Two and the concluding episode is on Friday 4 January. There’s another traditional double helping of Roads Less Travelled and this year Scotland’s best- known outdoors man Cameron McNeish is on the Atlantic Way. In the episodes which air on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 December on BBC Two Scotland Cameron journeys up the western seaboard from the Mull of Kintyre to Mallaig. It’s an eventful yuletide in River City on Tuesday 27 December and Wednesday 2 January on BBC One Scotland. In the first episode Christmas Day cheer disappears after Lenny (Frank Gallagher) uncovers a devastating secret and in the second festive episode Stevie (Iain Robertson) takes drastic action to silence Poppy (Lindsey Campbell) who has overheard an incriminating conversation. BBC Scotland will also commemorate what is arguably the greatest sea tragedy ever to befall the west of Scotland. On January 1 1919, having survived the First World War, more than 250 naval men were returning home on the HMY Iolaire – but in a rising gale the ship sank within yards of the Lewis coast. Programmes marking the 100th anniversary of the tragedy include In Sight of Home: The Iolaire on BBC Two Scotland and Cuimhneachan - An Iolaire and An Iolaire – Bidh sinn a’ cuimhneachadh (Remembering the Iolaire) on BBC ALBA. In an extended feature for BBC Radio Scotland’s Sunday Morning With on 23 December, Cathy McDonald marks the centenary of the tragedy. The feature will also be available on the BBC’s WW1@Home website and on 2 January, Anna Murray presents Remembering Iolaire, looking at the impact on the community and the way in which artists have responded. Among the other highlights on BBC Radio Scotland there’s Christmas Classics on Christmas Eve. Jazz superstar Clare Teal sings and presents a swingin' Christmas Concert from City Halls Glasgow with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bringing in Christmas Day is Our Christmas with Michelle McManus as the singer and broadcaster hears stories of family traditions that make Christmas special and meaningful. On Christmas Day there’s also a nostalgic look back at the history of the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh which will be closing its doors for two years in 2021 to undergo a facelift. In The Old Lady of Leven Street, Grant Stott, who does a regular turn as a Panto baddie, interviews some of the famous names who have also performed there including living legend Stanley Baxter. There’s the first of two episodes of Oh Yes It Is, Oh No It Isn’t! in which Billy Differ hosts a quiz with two teams of Scotland's favourite panto stars taking each other on with panto questions and improvised party pieces. Episode two airs on New Year’s Day. And Bryan Burnett hosts another joyous show as Radio Scotland brings in the New Year on The Hogmanay Show from Edinburgh’s Old Town with the Cask Strength Ceilidh Band and singer Fiona Hunter. BBC ALBA’s Cèilidh Na Bliadhn’ Ùire 2018 (Hogmanay Ceilidh 2018) comes from Govan Old Town Hall and features an array of outstanding Gaelic singers and musicians to take viewers through the bells. Cathy Macdonald and Niall Ian Macdonald are the hosts and the guests include the Glenfinnan Ceilidh Band and the Govan Gaelic Choir. Donalda MacKinnon, Director, BBC Scotland, said: ‘There’s something for everyone in our package of seasonal programming. It’s a great line-up of content across radio, television and online that will bring added sparkle to the festivities for our audiences.’ JG SATURDAY 22 DECEMBER TV & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEKS 52&1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mànran aig Barrowland NEW Saturday 22 December BBC ALBA, 9.00 – 10.00pm A concert special from Mànran & Trail West recorded on St Andrew’s Day, 2018.

When something is written down in a manuscript or a book, there is a standard against which other versions can be compared or corrected. Since the emergence of writing, political, social and religious institutions have privileged written records over oral memory and tradition. This has had a huge influence on the survival and evolution of the Scots language. Having lost its role as a contemporary written language in the 17th century, Scots continued to thrive as a spoken tung. This led to Scots often being associated with aspects of culture that were not sanctioned by authority, or explicitly dissident. To gie tung or ‘raise your voice’ could be seen as anti-authority, an expression of cultural resistance and human freedom. Consequently, people were told to curb or haud their tungs. And the forms of punishment administered by local courts included restraining the tongue, as for example with a Scold’s Bridle.

  • 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.

  • Tales Behind the Tunes Played by Brampton Community Band Martin
    Tales Behind the Tunes played by Brampton Community Band Martin Coslett Introduction Towards the end of 2018, my first session with Brampton Community Band was nerve wracking. I had printed out the music for the list they had sent but was not expecting the onslaught of tunes and at such fast tempos! Of course, they were designed for people to dance to so had to be at specific speeds. As eventually an accepted member of the band I was fortunate to play at quite a few church halls and birthday ceilidh’s before the pandemic came to haunt us and stopped the dancing. Half an Hour with the Brampton Community Band Brampton Community Band - ‘the brainchild of Peter Gray’ - recorded a CD at Donut Studios Chesterfield in 2012 of the following tunes: 1. Morgan Rattler/Banish Misfortune 2. Napoleon Crossing the Rhine/Jimmy Garson’s March 3. Woodland Revels 4. The Swallow’s Nest/Calliope House 5. The Greenwood Tree/Northern Light 6. The Tenpenny Bit/The Blackthorn stick 7. John Ryan’s Polka/Dennis Murphy’s Polka 8. The Bishop/Jack Maggot 9. The Gentle Maiden/Road to Lisdoonvarna/O’Keefe’s Slide British music and English folk music includes a variety of important musical styles including dance music like that used in Morris dancing (see types below) as well as sea shanties and other sung genres. From early medieval days tunes were carried from place to place by minstrels who passed on the news of the day in story form (true and ‘fake’) At least one of the tunes included here can be dated back as far as 1046 - Morgan Rattler.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Winter 2017 SHA Annual Family Conference at the Crown Plaza
    SHAWinterre 2017 The Magazine of Scottish Huntington’s Association - Issue No.82 SHA Patron Sarah Winckless MBE, CEO John Eden, SHA Chairperson Catherine Martin, Charles Sabine and Dr Ed Wild pictured above at the conference. Conference story on page 7. SHA Annual Family Conference at the Crown Plaza Hotel Glasgow, Saturday 28 October 2017 “It’s great to have a Patron like Sarah Winckless who is so enthusiastic. I really appreciated her warmth and vitality” “Ed’s presentation was extremely informative and enjoyable put across in an easy to understand way and with humour” Catherine Martin, Chairperson writes... As Charles Sabine and Dr Ed Wild both said at the recent SHA Family Conference in October, Scotland is the best place in the world to have HD. I am sure some of you will think that there is no best place - but I assure you there is. We have FREE health care, we have a family service (in SHA) that looks after the whole family, we have protection (to a greater degree than most) against genetic discrimination, we are a leading research base for HD and we have families who are passionate and determined to win the battle against this disease. We all know the devastation HD brings, but imagine you have no electricity, no health care, you don’t have a bricks and mortar home and the community you once felt safe in no longer accepts you as a member. This is exactly the situation that I recently encountered with a family in the USA. Or families in Canada, where, until this summer, talking about HD could result in losing your job, your insurance and your bank account.
