I'm keeping my fingers crossed for repeats of Grampian's thrift show, Pennywise , which provided handy hints on saving money, and successfully reinforced the stereotype that all Scots are tight-arses.


I don;t think many of the tapers have been kept! Confused

In today Real mckay blog: talking about the actully new channel which would NOT only bea gold channel but the channel would have

* classic BBC and Stv show

* Brand new scottish shows

* look in to more local tv IE programmers for Clyde area, lothain area, dundee area or even Inverness area

so there is much more to this, strange STV can do this and not ITV?

Why not just bring back "Sky Scottish"? Aren't British Sky Broadcasting involved with STV Group plc anyway? (unless that's ITV plc)

If BBC Scotland hasn't wiped them they could bring out " classic " children's Gaelic shows such as " Mag is Mog " which featured Runrig, and " Bzzzz! " Couldn't understand a word not being a speaker, but the latter was always very entertaining to watch.

I remember sitting watching the former before Swap Shop or the " learn to play sports " programme they used to show before Swap Shop.

And how about the original BBC version of The House That Joe Built?
