Stories of Scottish adventurers and explorers – from the past and the present – will stride out across television, radio and online from mid-October onwards. History explorer Neil Oliver and modern-day adventurer Mark Beaumont are the core presenters in a range of programmes charting Scots and their exciting and dramatic forays into difficult and largely uncharted territories across the world. Neil battles cold, heat, wilderness and danger, following in the footsteps of four Scottish explorers whose journeys – to Africa, Antarctica, the wild heart of America and a Japan, virtually cut off to the Western World – defined the last great age of exploration. In The Last Explorers, a four-part series on BBC One Scotland, he will be looking at the stories of : David Livingstone, the missionary who helped put an end to slavery in Africa; John Muir, who pioneered environmental conservation in America, Thomas Glover who laid the foundations for modern Japan’s industrial success; and Antarctic pioneer William Speirs Bruce. Mark Beaumont took on ice, ocean and extreme physical hardship as part of an expedition this summer, led by Scot Jock Wishart. Rowing the Arctic chronicles the expedition’s bid to row 450 miles across the Arctic to the 1996 position of the Magnetic North Pole; a position ice-bound by hundreds of miles when Jock led a walking expedition there at that time. As part of the Explorer season, Mark Beaumont will also present a BBC Radio Scotland special Survival, about the psychology and physiology of staying alive in extreme conditions. Mark and Neil ‘launch’ the BBC Scotland Explorer season with a public event on October 27 at the Hub in Edinburgh, when they come together, before a ticketed audience, to share their experiences and look deeper into what makes and breaks an explorer. Other programming includes a ‘taster’ series on Scottish explorers Scots Who Found the Modern World, produced by IWC Media, going out in mid October and in late November, The Hudson’s Bay Boys which tells the amazing story of modern day Scottish adventurers who built new lives with the Inuit in the Canadian Arctic. BBC Radio Scotland will also have Mark Jardine presenting Death in Kabul about the story of 19th Century diplomat and adventurer in Afghanistan, Alexander Burnes and a special short feature about the identical twin sisters, Margaret and Agnes Smith, from Irvine, who – in the late 19th century - found a forgotten version of the gospels, kept in a monastery deep in the Sinai desert. The BBC Scotland Explorers season will also be supported by programming exploring these themes on BBC Alba, Radio nan Gaidheal, BBC Radio Scotland’s History zone, with further BBC Learning programmes, features and outreach content, plus online activity. HM SATURDAY 15 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 42 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ SPL – Dunfermline v Hearts Saturday 15 October BBC ALBA, 5.30 – 7.30pm ‘As-live’ coverage from the Scottish Premier League as Dunfermline host Hearts at East End Park. LG3 MONDAY 17 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 42 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ RBS – Inside the Bank that Ran Out of Money NEW Monday, 17 October BBC One Scotland, 9.00-10.00 pm Three years ago this month, a venerable and internationally renowned bank was saved from extinction by a £20 billion bailout from the UK Government. It was a humbling moment for Edinburgh-based Royal Bank of Scotland which had long been feted as a global financial powerhouse, a disaster for the many thousands of employees who were forced out of work as the once-proud institution began a fight for life and a significant milestone on Britain's journey into a painful recession. RBS – Inside the Bank that Ran Out of Money gets the inside story of the institution's fall from grace from senior executives who worked at the top of the organisation. Key players who had held senior positions at the bank before the crash go on camera to discuss the culture of RBS, its strategy as it became a truly global organisation and the mistakes that triggered a rapid decline. They reflect on the banks's acquisitions and operations in the United States which were once at the vanguard of its expansion but later figured prominently in the story of the organisation's collapse and on the group's catastrophic involvement in a sub-prime property market which was held together by risky loans. RBS's enthusiastic pursuit of the Dutch-based banking group, ABN Amro, also comes under the microscope. The company's decision to apply a relatively light approach to due diligence backfired when the the scale of the acquired group's problems became known. The documentary also features footage from Sir Fred Goodwin's final meeting with shareholders in Edinburgh when an investor invited the former Forbes Global Businessman of the Year to apologise. Broadcast cameras were not allowed into the meeting but the documentary has obtained footage of the humbling moment for the outgoing chief executive. Among the contributors who shed light on one of the darkest chapters in Britain's banking history are former RBS chief executive and chairman, Sir George Mathewson, former RBS director Gordon Pell, Iain Robertson, RBS's former Head of Corporate Banking, and Sir Peter Burt, who was chief executive of Bank of Scotland when it was outbid for the National Westminster Bank. JG2 TUESDAY 18 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 42 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Tuesday 18 October BBC One Scotland, 8.00 – 9.00pm bbc.co.uk/rivercity This week in Shieldinch…Dan’s past becomes hot gossip; Kelly-Marie faces Scarlett’s wrath; and Frances keeps Jack at bay. It’s the first day for Doctor Dan Hunter and Michael is keen to make him feel welcome and so leaves an expensive bottle of whisky in his office. It soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems with the new doc when he pours the full bottle of whisky down the sink. When Molly clocks the empty bottle, Dan decides to wind her up following an earlier altercation with his new cleaner, and pretend he has drunk it all. Molly is disgusted and spreads gossip like wildfire around Shieldinch that Dan is an alcoholic. Michael soon realises that Dan has indeed hidden an alcohol problem from him and is furious he has been lied to. However, when Adeeb gets himself into a life or death situation, it’s Dan who steps up to the mark, which soon gets the community back on his side, but Michael is going to take more convincing. Kelly-Marie is still looking for a job but, in the meantime, Scarlett has given her odd jobs to do around the house. When Lenny realises she is in need of work, he casually hints to Gabriel that he should give her a job in the arcade. Gabriel is instantly smitten with Kelly-Marie and asks her to come for an interview. However, Scarlett isn’t keen for another one of her family going to work for Lenny and tells her she needs to mess up the interview. But with Gabriel’s mind set on gaining a gorgeous new employee, he won’t be taking no for an answer. Jack is still very suspicious of his new colleague Frances and decides to probe her further on why she has given up a glamorous job in London for Shieldinch. Eventually Frances gives him a real sob story to get him off her back and Jack believes every word of it. Frances has bigger fish to fry than Jack though. Dan is played by Adam Robertson, Michael by Andy Clark, Molly by Una McLean, Adeeb by Taryam Boyd, Kelly-Marie by Carmen Pieraccini, Scarlett by Sally Howitt, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Gabriel by Garry Sweeney, Jack by John Comerford and Frances by Andrea Hart. Please note, viewers outside Scotland can access this programme on Sky Channel 971, Freesat Channel 960, Virgin Media Channel 862 or the BBC's iPlayer service - bbc.co.uk/iplayer KH _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ BBC Scotland Investigates: Scotland's Fishy Secrets NEW Tuesday, 18 October BBC One Scotland, 10.35-11.05 pm Kenneth Macdonald investigates claims that fish farming is responsible for declining stocks of wild fish. The industry is a major contributor to the Scottish economy - generating hundreds of millions of pounds of revenue. But some say that problems resulting from fish farms are destroying valuable stocks of wild salmon and sea trout in Scottish lochs and rivers. This investigation reveals new evidence and looks at the science behind the claims. In the programme he meets a Highland Laird who believes Sea Trout have disappeared from remote Loch Maree because of parasites - sea lice - coming from fish farms.

What has been the biggest changes in society? All of us will remember 2020 as the year our lives were turned upside down by Covid-19. It’s hard to overestimate the impact that had on not just our physical health and our daily lives, but also on our mental health, with rates of depression doubling during the first six months of lockdown. The Black Lives Matter movement also stands out, shining a light on the systemic issues facing Black people and people of colour around the world. And of course, climate change is ever-present. 2020 showed that we can all mobilise to change. What impact have these issues had on ITV and its Social Purpose?
