That's Archie and Ewan laid to rest then. Wasn't it a sad episode? And what a chilly, wintry 'River City' it was too - you could tell it was during the cold snap, couldn't you?
But did you know how lucky the crew were filming the funeral scenes during the big snow? We got the lowdown on filming from Neil Mac, who is the Unit Manager on River City. It's his job to set up and oversee filming on location.
Neil tells us that Ewan's funeral scenes were shot in Dumbarton Cemetery, just down the road from the River City set. Shooting on location can be tricky as the main thing you have no control over is the weather. And that week in January was one of the snowiest weeks in Scotland,so there was a bit of anxiety about filming.
The night before shooting the scenes the ground was covered in snow. Luckily when they got to the cemetery the next day the snow had disappeared - phew!
And, the cemetery workers also got some extra work that day, as they featured in the show. Talk about having the proper qualifications for the job!
