While Lou wants to be open about their relationship, Amber’s notably hesitant fearing rejection from her disapproving father, Lenny. Desperate to prove her commitment, Amber decides to reveal her relationship with Lou starting with telling her ex, Gabriel. But when it comes to the crunch she stumbles.

JW _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Saddled, Ep4/4: The Big French Ride LAST IN THE SERIES Monday 22 April BBC Radio Scotland, 1.30-2.00pm In the final episode of radio comedy Saddled, The Easy Riders take part in a charity cycle in France to help raise money for refugees but the team’s competitive streak, and own personal shortcomings, soon bubble to the surface. Newest member of the Easy Riders Cycling team, Mark, is a man whose hatred of sport and exercise is rivalled only by his distrust of those who participate in it. Mark’s wife, Dawn, used to feel that way too, but in the last year she took up cycling and got hooked. New to the world of cycling clubs, Mark thinks the club is full of weird, dreadful, insecure people who should take the money they waste on buying lycra cycling gear and spend it on therapy. Mark discovers that not only was he pretty much right about this group of cyclists being insecure and easily angered, but that he’s fast becoming the worst of them all. Mark is played by Greg McHugh, Dawn by Lucianne McEvoy, Brennan by Richard Gadd, Jack by Richard Rankin, Francis by Robin Laing and Sue by Sally Reid. Written by Steven Dick and Chris Grady, Saddled is a Gusman Production for BBC Radio Scotland. JW TUESDAY 23 APRIL TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 17 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Body Builders Unfiltered NEW (Ep 1/1) Tuesday 23 April BBC Scotland, 10.00-11.00pm Stu and Sophie are pumping iron and eating six huge meals every day. They’re on a mission to win the World Bodybuilding Finals in Las Vegas. This programme sees how their extreme training regime affects their physical and mental health and their relationship. Thirty-three year old Stu Mac is the only professional in Scotland in the international WBFF Bodybuilders Federation. Sophie, at just 23, is the only Scottish professional female in her class. With combined Instagram followers of 150,000 they’re also developing a loyal following and are on the cusp of becoming social media influencers. To achieve the extreme physiques required to step on stage, they first go through the ‘bulk’ - a process which involves eating over 6,000 calories a day, whilst simultaneously increasing the weights they lift at the gym. As the competition date approaches, they then turn to the “cut” when they drastically reduce their food intake. Cameras follow them through the whole process as their body fat plummets. Over eight months of filming, Sophie and Stuart are brutally honest about the lengths that they will go to achieve the perfect body. From stomach churning workouts, to fake tans and sparkling bikinis, as their story unfolds, their determination to succeed takes its toll on their relationship. JG/HM _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Trusadh S11 - Laithean Sgoile - An Ard-sgoil (Schooldays - The Secondary School) Monday, 22 April BBC ALBA, 9.00pm-10.00pm Continuing the nostalgic series, with a light-hearted look back at the best days of our lives. Through story and anecdote, we take a journey from the first days at primary school, right through to the very different world of the high school, and the beginning of adult life. The final programme in the series follows that journey to secondary school life, another big change for any scholar. It was their first steps in to adult life and a whole new world. New teachers, new subjects and new friends, and for some a new home, as they went to the hostel. There was also the excitement of discovering the world of fashion, dances, café culture and courting! IS WEDNESDAY 24 APRIL TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 17 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scotland’s Home Of The Year, Ep3/8 Wednesday 24 April BBC Scotland, 8.00-8.30pm Three houses in the West of the country go under the spotlight in this week’s search for Scotland’s Home Of The Year. Judges Michael Angus, Anna Campbell-Jones and Kate Spiers first visit a stunning renovated Edwardian family home in the suburb of Giffnock, East Renfrewshire. The homeowners spent three years painstakingly restoring period features and updating the kitchen and bathrooms. High above the Sound of Mull in Argyll, the judges find a beautiful self-build with lots of curved lines and a vast mix of materials at its heart with some stand-out unusual features including some quirky ‘mousehole’ arches under the stairs. Finally, there’s a very urban property to consider, overlooking Glasgow Green. This first-floor flat has some surprising features including sliding walls, hidden rooms and, as one judge discovers, a generous bath. Each home is scored for its appeal and clever design but only one will be good enough to reach the final. Scotland’s Home of the Year is an IWC Media production for BBC Scotland. LD _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sanjeev Kohli’s Big Talk NEW (Ep 1/10) Wednesday, 24 April BBC Scotland, 10.00-11.15pm In episode one of a brand new panel show, Sanjeev Kohli and guests (including Karen Dunbar and Jay Lafferty in this first outing), take a sideways look at what’s happening in Scotland and around the world. Sanjeev and co will fillet the big issues of the past seven days and mix them up with funny and fascinating films. Expect random amusement thrown into the mix as well. JG/JP _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Loop (2/6) Wednesday 24 April BBC Scotland, 11.15-11.45pm Episode two of Loop is entitled “Pictures That Tell A Story” and features comic book artist and illustrator Frank Quietly as lead contributor.

  • November 17, 2016 Still Game's Sanjeev Kohli Opens New Hospice
    November 17, 2016 Still Game’s Sanjeev Kohli opens new hospice shop For immediate release Credit: Martin Shields Sanjeev Kohli, who plays Navid, the nation’s favourite shopkeeper in smash BBC Scotland comedy Still Game, helped celebrate the opening of the new Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice shop in Battlefield, Glasgow. The Glasgow actor, who also appears in River City, surprised shoppers at the store at 126 Battlefield Road in the city’s south side when he appeared behind the counter. “I’ve been involved in fundraising and done a few things over the years for the hospice, it’s a great cause,” said Sanjeev. “The work that is done there is wonderful, and I’m delighted to give them my support. I’m also a fan of a second-hand shop, so these are two very good causes I’m helping today.” This is the hospice’s 18th shop to open in the city, raising much-needed money to provide free palliative care to the people of Glasgow. “Our hospice shops play a vital role in bringing in the £3.1million we need to raise annually to provide free palliative care to the people of Glasgow,” said Rhona Baillie, chief executive of The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice. “We can’t thank our supporters enough for not just making donations to our shops, but also coming in to spend their money.” Donations are welcome at the shop at the Battlefield Road shop, from clothes and home ware to CDs, books and DVDs. Hospice care provides support for the physical and emotional problems related to a life- limiting illness for patients and for those close to them at home, in the ward and in day services.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE SCOTLAND’S FIRST EVER CROWDSOURCED DOCUMENTARY CHOSEN TO PREVIEW AT SCOTLAND-TARTAN WEEK, NEW YORK Following a phenomenally successful premiere at Glasgow Film Festival, and a tour of the Scottish regions, the mass participation, feature length documentary We Are Northern Lights has been chosen to be screened at two exclusive previews in the US as part of New York’s Scotland- Tartan Week 2013 in April. The result of the first ever crowdsourced film project in this country, We Are Northern Lights shows Scots and Scotland refracted through a myriad of different lenses – those of the Scots themselves. Audience reception in Scotland was overwhelmingly positive. Responses included “uplifting”, “inspiring”, “poetic”, “representative” and “wow” with many admitting to moments when they had tears in their eyes. Now with the support of Creative Scotland and the University of Edinburgh in association with the American-Scottish Foundation®, American audiences will get the chance to see what the Scots think of their own country. Both screenings will take place on April 11th at the landmark Bryant Park Hotel in Manhattan and will be followed by Q&A sessions with WANL Creative Director and Edinburgh University senior lecturer, Dr Nick Higgins, who will be talking about the journey from idea to realisation, reception and beyond. We Are Northern Lights is the culmination of a process that began during the Year of Creative Scotland, which asked the people of Scotland to capture their unique perspectives on film and submit them for selection. To ensure that the project was accessible to all, 55 workshops took place up and down the country, with entertaining, ‘how-to’ online video tutorials provided by Scottish Asian comedian, writer and actor Sanjeev Kohli.
