Those of you in Scotland probably know of this new series which starts on Sunday. It is presented by Neil Oliver the man who presented Coast. He was on BBC breakfast the other morning talking about this new programme which unfortunately is only available to view at present on BBC1 Scotland but will be on TV in the rest of the UK next year - unless it will be availbale to view online after it has aired .

For those that do get to watch - enjoy !

If you have the dreaded "Virgin" or Sky Tv then you can view BBC Scotland as it airs.
I do this frequently to watch the Scottish News & the dreaded "River City"(my dirty little secret!)
I have English friends living in Scotland who do it in reverse to watch the local English news.

I dont have either of the above, i find it hard enough having Digital !
I suppose it will be something to look forward to in the dull winter months of next year as im sure he said it will be on here in February

It was either a new aerial at a ridiculous price or cable for a not bad monthly fee.Plus my niece is here most weekends so Music channells are vital viewing!
Plus I do enjoy History channel & Law & Order.

Looking forward to seeing that programme. Digital tv is a bit of a novelty here in the Borders at the moment and am enjoying watching Fawlty Towers, Bergerac and Shoestring again but I'm sure it will wear off eventually.

I meant to post this on Saturday whilst it was on

For us south of the boarder with only the normal five channels (or even more useless digibox) this is now on BBC2 at 8.00pm on Saturdays and if you missed it you can catch up i on i player which is available for one week - i think.
