River City Is Five!
The very first River City episode was broadcast on Tuesday 24th September 2002 so next week we'll be celebrating our fifth birthday!
The first ever episode featured the wedding of Tommy and Eileen, which in typical soap fashion, didn’t exactly run without a hiccup. The Shieldinch residents have experienced six further marriages, four births, eleven deaths and plenty of highs and lows in between times. Celebrity fans Scott Mills and Lorraine Kelly have even had cameo appearances!
Five years on, River City is going strong, and one thing’s for sure - life is never dull in Shieldinch.
River City’s anniversary episodes will be shown on Friday 21st September at 8.30pm and Tuesday 25th September at 8.00pm on BBC One Scotland. You really shouldn't miss them cos they're some of the most powerful scenes ever seen on the show...
