Border Life
Monday 6th January on ITV BORDER SCOTLAND from 8:00pm to 8:30pm

Fiona Armstrong presents a new series about life in southern Scotland. In the first episode, she follows in the footsteps of Robert the Bruce ahead of the 700th anniversary of Bannockburn. There is a visit to a famous country estate, and a meeting with an up-and-coming artist who recycles old textiles and driftwood to make scenes from the Borders. SUB

The fact they aren't sorting this out for Border Scotland viewers on Sky is F**king awful.

Yes it is wrong, all in the Border Scotland viewers should be able to watch no matter the platform.

Not sure why ITV bothered to make programmes like 'Border Life' for such a small audience though, surely having (and maybe help produce) STV's programming would of been easier? When resources are said to be limited it makes no sense to me...

I'm assuming they won't put this on ITV Player. Do they ever put their regional Welsh series on there? Again, I'm guessing they don't.

And I wonder if this will be made from the Newcastle office, the tiny (possibly too small) Carlisle office or somewhere actually in Scotland?

They've been recruiting several producers based in Edinburgh for Border current affairs output.
