I’m not Scottish but I found myself watching them every day when the News Channel were showing them. I often found them direct, apolitical and very well explained so that anyone could easily understand what was being said. In other words the opposite of the Downing St briefings.
From a ratings point of view, I suppose, no briefings means we can see the exact figures other programmes are pulling in.
For 31/08-06/09, surprised that not one of the episodes of Guilt made the list (below 29k). Lack of promotion, too fresh in the memory, The Nine getting in the way?
Burnistoun doing abysmally, though to be fair, it doesn't have the same wide appeal as Still Game or Rab C Nesbitt.
It is. Ian Small said in an interview that aside from the last 2 weeks, things were essentially going back to some kind of normality in that people were going back to work; school, bars and restaurants etc. That doesn’t match what Donalda is saying there.
I think people would give them more grace if they just accepted they made a poor judgment and apologised instead of trying to bury it.
Inside The Zoo attracted 128k in its first episode so that will likely be recommissioned if it holds up.
Getting Hitched Asian Style doing well first showing on Wednesday and the repeat on Sunday so could possibly manage another series, pandemic permitting.
Some nights they can forget or miss the cue to run the clock. The clock is a minute long so has to run at 20:59:00. If it’s run late, or for some
reason the AR fails, it’s dropped and presentation drop in a news safe ident.
Getting Hitched Asian Style ended its run below 40k. Its audience seemed to give up after episode two.
Inside The Zoo has been up and down but still healthy enough ratings wise, averaging around 100k.
Disappointed by the amount of crime docs that have popped up recently. It's not solely a BBC Scotland thing because ITV have been at it with Dennis Nilsen, the Wests etc.

There's always been something of a fascination, especially in the Glasgow area, with this sort of thing. The
Digger
"newspaper" still sells well - people have an appetite for reading and hearing about the world of local crime bosses.
