Bad Language, Ep 1/5  NEW Monday 5 August BBC Radio Scotland, 3.30 – 4.00pm bbc.co.uk/radioscotland

We all speak English but Richard Herring wants to know if we all understand each other in a brand new BBC Radio comedy panel show on Monday to Friday this week. Scotland’s Des Clarke and Ireland’s Keith Farnan go head to head to prove who has the superior command of the English language. Over five rounds they compete to see who best understands dialect, slang and colloquialisms from Scotland, Ireland and the rest of the English speaking world. They’ll be celebrating language, inventing new terms for those currently-nameless-but-irritating things and might even offer some surprising facts along the way. Across the week Richard, Des and Keith will be joined by Patrick Kielty, Aisling Bea, Jo Caulfield, Susan Calman, Eleanor Tiernan, Jarred Christmas, Jarlath Regan and Mark Nelson.

River City Tuesday 6 August BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm

This week in Shieldinch…Billy Kennedy forces a reluctant Stevie to assist Gareth with some underworld work; Gareth discovers the murderous lengths Billy’s prepared to go to keep him loyal; Lenny refuses to take no for an answer from a protective Kelly-Marie; and a tactless Scarlett pushes Jimmy to the edge. Gareth’s new life with Nicole is overshadowed with the spectre of Billy Kennedy calling him to debt collect drugs money locally. Enlisting the help of a terrified Stevie, Gareth’s moral conscience creeps in when he comes into contact with a toddler and grief-stricken family affected by Kennedy’s drugs business. After their car is vandalised, tensions run high between the pair with Stevie dishing up some harsh home truths to Gareth – if he wants a life with Nicole and the baby he’ll need to break away from Billy. Sensing a weakness and determined to bring Gareth back into line, Billy takes drastic action to show him who’s boss – murdering Matty with a forced overdose. Petrified, Gareth turns to DCI Donald for help but police protection will come at a price. Elsewhere, ignoring Kelly-Marie’s wishes to stay away from Callum, Lenny turns up at the Mullens uninvited. When he refuses to leave, Kelly-Marie calls upon the help of DCI Donald to make her point heard once and for all. Irritated that Jimmy might be living it up at Raymond’s, Scarlett packs his bags to force him home. However, it’s a far-from-happy reunion.

Billy Kennedy is played by Alexander Morton, Stevie by Paul James Corrigan, Gareth by Paul Branningan, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Kelly-Marie by Carmen Pieraccini, Scarlett by Sally Howitt, Jimmy by Billy McElhaney, Nicole by Holly Jack, Matty by Carlo Lucchesi, DCI Donald by Robin Laing, Callum by Robbie Neilson and Raymond by Paul Samson.

Set against a backdrop of the miners’ strike and the changing face of 1980s journalism, award- winning crime-drama The Field of Blood returns with a stellar cast including David Morrissey, Katherine Kelly, Jayd Johnson and Ford Kiernan. Glasgow, 1984 - Paddy Meehan now has her dream job as a news reporter working alongside George McVie. But all this changes with the arrival of new Editor-in-Chief, Maloney, a no-nonsense woman in a man’s world, determined to bring the newspaper into the modern age - against editor Murray Devlin’s wishes. With Maloney and Devlin at loggerheads in the newsroom, an innocuous call about a disturbance in an affluent part of the city leads Paddy and McVie to uncover dirty tricks, police corruption, government cover-up and cold blooded murder. Initially told by the police it’s a domestic disturbance, Paddy’s interest is spiked when she recognises the female victim as a well-known human rights lawyer, Vhairi Burnett. And when, next morning, news breaks that Vhairi has been found murdered, Paddy spots an opportunity to report the news story of a lifetime. But her investigation will bring conflict to the newsroom as well as putting herself and McVie in grave danger as powerful forces attempt to silence the truth.

Paddy Meehan is played by Jayd Johnson, George McVie by Ford Kiernan, Maloney by Katherine Kelly, Murray Devlin by David Morrissey. Also starring Amy Manson, David Hayman and Michael Nardone. Adapted from the novel The Dead Hour by Denise Mina, The Field of Blood is a Slate Films North production for BBC One through BBC Scotland.

As war breaks out in the newsroom, Paddy’s investigation uncovers a dirty tricks campaign against the miner’s union, police corruption and a government cover-up – putting Paddy and her colleagues in danger. Following his car bomb ordeal, McVie recovers in hospital with a concerned Paddy by his side. But back at the newsroom there’s disharmony between Maloney and Devlin as they clash over reporting ethics and management interference. Paddy confesses to Devlin she took a bribe and knows her reporting career could now be at risk. McVie returns from hospital to help Paddy track down murdered lawyer Vhairi Burnett’s missing sister, Karen. With her help, they can verify their story but only if they can get to Karen before ruthless criminals Lafferty and Neilson find her. Paddy and McVie visit union leader ‘Red Willie’ McDade but he’s less-than-willing to cooperate with the press. However, he does reveal Vhairi had proof of a dirty tricks campaign against the NUM from the highest level – confirming Paddy and McVie’s suspicions of government and police corruption. But, in spite of her sensational news story, Paddy faces surprising hostility from Maloney who appears to have a news agenda of her own. And, as Paddy is about to discover, there are people in the security business who will stop at nothing to defeat the miners and crush the strike.

Paddy is played by Jayd Johnson, McVie by Ford Kiernan, Maloney by Katherine Kelly, Devlin by David Morrissey, Karen by Amy Manson, Lafferty by Martin McCardie, Neilson by Des McAleer, Red Willie McDade by David Hayman.
