Yon bonny banks...

This was a bit of an epic episode wasn't it? Leo almost took the high road on yon bonny banks of Loch Lomond but thanks to Conor he dragged himself back to shore in time. Leo's meltdown was filmed on location at Loch Lomond which is just up the road from our Dumbarton studios. The scenery looked amazing and the sea plane coming into land looked great. I asked the Director Patrick Harkins about it:

"We didn't actually know if we were going to get the sea plane until the day before we were due to shoot, so it was a bit touch and go. We had one rehearsal and gave the pilot pointers on where to land etc and then went ahead and shot it. It was filmed in one take with three cameras and we filmed the actors the whole time in order to capture their reactions. The plane wasn't integral to the script but it added something a bit special and different to the scene and it was especially good fun for Rian who plays Conor."

Back in Shieldinch, dodgy McCabe is back and up to old tricks! What is Jimmy getting himself into? He's agreed to courier counterfeit money for the resident gangster - this isn't going to end well! And Fraser seems to think that he can play with the big boys too, the silly lad just doesn't know what he's letting himself in for! Fraser and Jimmy will both become further embroiled in McCabe's criminal empire but what will be the consequences?

Next week is election night and the Nick and Nicole saga is set to explode. We saw a sneak peek of Michael's reaction to the revelations but what will be the impact on Nick's political ambitions? I can't wait!
