BBC SCOTLAND HIP HOP SEASON

BBC Scotland is set to unwrap a season of hip hop programmes in mid-June. A week-long season of programmes will celebrate the street culture which has grown and developed in Scotland since the 80s, with its own spectrum of emerging and established stars but is largely unheralded by mainstream media. The programming on the new BBC Scotland channel will run from Sunday June 16 to Friday June 21.

A cornerstone of this new season will be a major new documentary, Loki’s History of Scottish Hip Hop. Award winning author Darren 'Loki’ McGarvey reveals the History of Scottish hip hop and how over the last 30 or so years it has spawned a revolutionary street-level culture in cities and towns across the country.

A rapper, who turned that skill into cultural commentating and writing with his breakthrough first book Poverty Safari, Darren – in the opening minutes of the documentary – says: “For me hip hop started here in Pollok…

“Feeling isolated and culturally alienated in a housing scheme, the two things that resonated with me growing up were Batman and American hip hop.

“Rap was people talking about many of the things I was experiencing as a young man in Scotland so I began rapping as means of expressing my feelings.

“If it wasn’t for hip hop I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

The documentary goes through the four ‘pillars’ of hip hop from break-dancing, graffiti art to deejaying, and then latterly MCing, which we now know as rapping.

Looking back at over 30 years of culture, Loki speaks to the pioneers in music, dance and art. It is a story of young men and women in Scotland overcoming adversity to express themselves in often challenging circumstances. This new documentary, by Sasquatch Productions, also explores status in culture and language and how young people in the eighties caught on to an industry now worth ten billion dollars a year but whose ‘stars’ are still relatively unknown.

For many it provided something even more valuable, with many contributors reflecting how their lives could have gone badly wrong without hip hop.

As one contributor, Bohze, notes break-dancing competitions became the new thing to do on the street. He says: “1983 comes along, everybody stops fighting and the maddest thing is that they are dancing against each other, actually dancing against each other.”

Louise Thornton, Commissioning Executive at BBC Scotland, said: “A vibrant and dynamic street- level culture through urban Scotland, from Inverness to Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, hip hop has been with us for decades but somehow always just under the radar of the mainstream. “This season looks at how it has become a channel for creativity, ‘bubbling under the surface’ of more mainstream Scottish culture, reflecting people’s lives and issues in modern idioms and terms. The season is looking at hip hop as a cultural phenomenon but also as a social movement.”

Among the other highlights will be a new documentary in which an emerging female star of the movement reflects on a sexual assault and how she copes with the aftermath through performance. There will also be a screening of Lumo: Too Young to Die. In 2017, Calum Barnes took his own life. The Glasgow rapper, also known as Lumo, was a popular figure on the city’s hip hop scene, but privately he was deeply troubled.

Calum’s battles with mental health are documented in the film through his own video diaries, discovered after his death.

TUNE, BBC Scotland’s new late-night music show, will, on Thursday, 20 June, feature Darren ‘Loki’ McGarvey with an exclusive track from his forthcoming new album. Providing the international context of the story of hip hop is a film from American director Alex Jordanov. The Game: Hip Hop takes the story of the movement from the street to Wall Street, outlining how this culture has gone global as lifestyle and a multi-billion dollar industry. Among those featured in the film are 50 Cent, Ice T, Chuck D, Young Thug, Grandmaster Caz, and Melle Mel.

Throughout the week there will be hip hop performances and related items on @BBCScotland social media. Underscored throughout with original new hip hop music, The Grey Area, a gritty Edinburgh drama which was acclaimed when it was shown in the first week of the channel in its hour long version, will be available on BBC iPlayer in 6 x 10 minute episodes.

SCOTTISH DOCUMENTARY SCHEME UNVEILED FOR FILM-MAKERS

Aspiring film-makers have the chance to produce their own documentaries for broadcast on the BBC Scotland channel thanks to a new collaboration.

An exciting tie-up between Screen Scotland, The Scottish Documentary Institute and BBC Scotland will see six original 30-minute programmes broadcast over the next two years.

Aimed at directors who already have some film-making experience, the Right Here initiative will provide mentoring and production expertise which will enhance Scotland’s existing documentary and factual programme-making community.

The successful applicants will receive professional production assistance and a budget to make half- hour films reflecting the richness and diversity of life in modern day Scotland. All six programmes will be aired on the new BBC Scotland channel over the next few years.

Noé Mendelle, director of Scottish Documentary Institute, said: “We are delighted to launch Right Here, a new collaboration with BBC Scotland and Screen Scotland to nurture local documentary talent in exploring the richness and diversity of contemporary Scotland. It is a great opportunity for up and coming film-makers to share their storytelling talent with a wider audience.”

The initiative also was welcomed by Screen Scotland and BBC Scotland.

“This exciting new collaboration will help to discover and develop new filmmaking voices and stories that will have the power to engage, connect and change the way we see Scotland. The BBC Scotland channel has already proven to be an important new platform for Scottish documentaries with Nae Pasaran and Last Breath recently airing, these new commissions will be in great company,” said Leslie Finlay of Screen Scotland, while BBC Scotland channel manager Tony Nellany said the project will benefit both the creative community and viewers.

“Scotland already has some great documentary makers but we hope that this scheme will help support those who would like to build a career in factual programme-making for themselves, but who don’t yet have a wealth of experience, while also providing our viewers with great stories from across the country,” he said.

Would-be applicants for the first round of 3 commissions can get full details of how to apply at www.scottishdocinstitute.com/opportunities/righthere and they have until July 8 to submit their proposals.

As Lauren delves deeper into her past, she discovers the roots of her Italo-Scottish heritage and the often harsh reality of what being Italian in Scotland would have meant for her family over the past century. With the help of local archives and genealogist Elizabeth Cunningham, she also discovers a long line of entrepreneurs on both sides of her family –that being one of the reasons she lives in the old grain mill she now calls home. On the west coast of Kintyre, siblings Melissa and Philip James unearth a very different family history – one of privilege and influence. The current residents of Skipness Estate, the James family live a very different lifestyle from their grandfather who bought the estate in 1936. With the help of genealogist Chris Halladay, their journey sees them unearth links to the legendary ghost story writer M R James, the upper echelons of British political society, the Great Exhibition of 1851 and even the Battle of Waterloo.

With that come various health issues leaving more people prone to putting on weight and developing different health issues. But with people becoming increasingly aware of the risks, exercise is becoming more popular, with the fitness industry reportedly worth over £5 billion.

The second episode in the three-part exceptional access series, follows the case of 47-year-old Julie Reilly who went missing from her Govan flat in March 2018. Now a murder case, the team interrogate prime suspect Andrew Wallace but his interview quickly leads to frustration for Julie’s family and the detectives. They need to gather more evidence to convict Andrew but with no body, it takes all their skills to prove and charge the suspect. Gaining unprecedented access to the investigation, this powerful episode follows the family and team as the case reaches a High Court trial and the search leads to a horrifying discovery. DCI Mark Bell explains how the Major Investigations Team cope with complex cases they work on: “You try and detach yourself emotionally from cases…particularly as a leader because you have to show your team that you’re doing a professional job. “But you’ve got to take it back to ‘why do people join the police?’, it’s ultimately to do the right thing. To do the right thing for our communities, for the people that we encounter and particularly in the homicide world, you’re working for the people that can no longer speak.” With unparalleled access to Police Scotland’s Major Investigations Team (MITs), Murder Case goes behind-the-scenes on some of the most complex murder and large-scale criminal investigations in Scotland. Murder Case is a Firecrest Films production for BBC Scotland.
