Grand Tours of Scotland's Rivers
Paul follows the River Ayr as it flows from Loch Glenbuck towards the sea and the Clyde coast. The old mining village of Glenbuck was demolished long ago, but its memory is kept alive by former resident Barbara Alexander whose uncle, the famous Liverpool football manager Bill Shankly, was a Glenbuck man. From Glenbuck, Paul follows the river through a landscape pockmarked by the scars of old mineral extraction and industry. At Muirkirk he discovers how a local man illuminated the cities of the world with gas lighting, and how a certain Mr McAdam invented tarmac for the roads of the world. The course of the river Ayr flows through land rich in covenanting history when religious conflict cost many lives. In the Ayr gorge, Paul encounters the extraordinary tale of the radical preacher Alexander Peden, whose life on the run forced him to hide in caves while still preaching hellfire sermons to the people. Finally reaching the coast, Paul visits the only working salt evaporation tower in the world. Here, with a pinch of salt, he learns how sea water is evaporated by wind and sun to make brine, from which sea salt is made.

Ooh the Banter
Jack Docherty brings together a jam-packed cast of comedians, actors and famous faces for a riotous celebration of Scotland's most valuable export – its sense of humour. Scotland is a small nation with a big funny bone. It's known the world over for self-deprecation, quick-witted patter and deadpan asides. But what makes it so funny? To find out the answer, this programme delves deep into the BBC Scotland archives to find a century’s worth of classic characters, catchphrases and comedy clips. A line is drawn from the early days of Scottish comedy on TV from the McFlannels, Stanley Baxter and Lex McLean through to the modern generation of quickfire online sensations. The medium may have changed, but the essence of the humour remains the same - colourful language, authenticity, irreverence and flair for creative insults. Joining Jack will be some of Scotland’s most iconic comedy talent such as Elaine C Smith, Alex Norton, Karen Dunbar, Lawrence Chaney, Brian Cox, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson.

This Farming Life
Winter is looming in Scotland. And while many are battening down the hatches and keeping warm, farmers are still outside caring for their livestock and making preparations for the year ahead. In North Uist, Fraser and Carianne set off for the mainland to sell their own tups and buy new ones ready for mating season. They don’t always agree on which is best, and the best don’t always prove their worth. In South Ayrshire, the Barclay family have always been keen competitors at agricultural shows. They are readying their best sheep for the Lanark Winter Show, with a lesson from dad John in how to prim and preen the perfect ewe before the boys take them into the ring, hoping for a rosette. At Thorabella Farm in Moray, intrepid entrepreneurs Nikki and Ollie begin their latest venture – farming rabbits to sell to a local hotel restaurant. They are new to keeping rabbits, and finding out the sex of the breeding stock proves a challenge.

Limmy's Homemade Show
Before Limmy made it onto BBC Scotland with Limmy’s Show, he became known through his own rough-and-ready funny homemade videos. When Limmy’s Show stopped, Limmy took to Vine and YouTube, racking up millions of views for videos made on nothing more than his phone. Limmy’s Homemade Show takes the DIY style of his homemade videos – the cast of one, the staying at home and losing his marbles, the going out and about and speaking his mind – and puts it on TV. In this episode, Limmy is thankful to be on TV and worries about what it would be like if he ever had to go back to having a real job. He spots something terrifying in his mirror that he accidentally recorded on his camera, something he claims actually happened and isn’t at all special effects. And he gives advice to all budding DJs about how to work a crowd, advice that might result in being hit by a flying bottle.
