BBC Scotland Autumn 2007
First seasonal launch at BBC Scotland's new state of the art broadcasting centre
BBC Scotland has unveiled highlights of its upcoming programmes at the inaugural seasonal launch at Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
The autumn launch provided a preview of the output across all genres which will be produced from the new digital media centre on the south bank of the River Clyde.
The preview is among a series of events to be held during September 2007 to mark the opening of the centre, following the completion of the migration of staff from the old headquarters in the West End of Glasgow.
Network highlights from BBC Scotland include Stephen Fry – HIV And Me, on BBC Two, which follows on from his widely acclaimed series on the secret life of the manic depressive; On The Road With Russell Brand, on BBC Four; and, on BBC Two, a coast-to-coast homage to literary hero Jack Kerouac.
From BBC Scotland's drama department comes Phoo Action, a live action adaptation of Jamie Hewlett's comic strip, Get The Freebies, for BBC Three.
The fantasy adventure show Raven returns for its seventh series on CBBC, and Nina And The Neurons will bring science centre stage on CBeebies.
Scotland-only television output will feature Legit, a comedy series about two chancers who live in a world populated by oddballs, rogues and losers; Scotland's Clans, in which presenter Paul Murton makes a personal journey beyond the myths and the tartan; and Reported Scotland – 50 Years Of TV News, a behind-the-scenes look at how the reporting of Scotland has evolved over the last half century.
An enhanced drama offering from BBC Radio Scotland will include My Name Is John, the story of Donald Simpson and his relationship with a disturbed, scripture-quoting neighbour whom he believes is the elusive killer, Bible John.
