Is the view of Glasgow behind the reporter on BBC Scotland news a window or a tv picture? The backdrop to the BBC's " Reporting Scotland " news bulletin is a view of Glasgow which appears to be " live " .Me and the misses are arguing over wether it's view through a window behind the presenter ( you could see snow falling over the city by the river Clyde ) ..or just a tv picture projected onto a screen .... any clues folks ?

Why does the BBC weather map of Britain show England on a different scale to Scotland? If you look at the map it seems as if the distances between places in England is more than places the same distance apart in Scotland. I appreciate that it depends on the projection used for the map and the curvature of the earth - but why does it seem to be centred on the south of England ?
SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENT - BBC SCOTLAND AND SCOTTISH TELEVISION.? Should BBC SCOTLAND AND SCOTTISH TELEVISION be doing more to produce go old fashioned Scottish entertainment? 1. How many of you agree with me that Scottish Shows like the WHITE HEATHER CLUB should be resurrected? We have so much talent in Scotland - singers, musicians, fiddle orchestras, dancers and comedians, so surely one of the TV stations could easily produce a series of shows, that Scottish audiences and many people in Canada, Australian and New Zealand would enjoy. Ideally eight by half hour or forty five minute shows would be great. 2. Should BBC SCOTLAND or SCOTTISH TELEVISION, be considering making use of today's talent, to produce a series of "FIVE PAST EIGHT" type shows? We have the stars just waiting in the wings. 3. What should we, the Scottish public be doing, to effect a reconciliation (heal the rift) between Ford KIERNAN and Greg HEMPHILL? They are both so talented and 'just made for each other' in comedy. Come on FORD and GREG, there is enough strife in the world; I am sure that you are both 'big enough' to bury the hatchet. Sincerely, HAGGIS BASHER (Falkirk)
Sorry the Yusuf Islam BBC One Sessions is only on BBC Scotland.......the rest of you'ze can catch it on....... you can catch it on http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/bbconesessions/ i didnt realise it was only on BBC Scotland,oops!

Would BBC give the same coverage to Scotland or Wales? As they're giving to England. After every game the discussion is hijacked by talk about Englands chances.
why do the bbc have so many channels on the sky electronic program guide? which presumably we pay rupert murdochs sky for.

If the Scotland games were all shown on BBC would you still go to the pub to watch them? When Scotland's on the pubs are always mobbed, it's a fight trying to make your way to the bar, let alone finding somewhere to sit/stand/lean against. Quarter of an hour to get served (if yer lucky). Nae smoking now either and in Dundee ye canna take any alcohol outside, so ye run the risk o somecunt swiping yer drink and/or seat everytime ye want a smoke. So ye say to some random boy, 'here mate look after wir drinks for us eh'. And that's no good. At the end ye always end up coming oot smelling like a brewery cos o the amount of lager that's been spilled on you. And see trying to find a taxi when Scotland are on!! Nae chance, you're walking home son. Must admit though ye canna beat the atmosphere in pubs, especially games like the one against France, ye canna get that sitting it the house. I'm starting to ramble, so if you had the choice would you rather go out or just stay in?
I just heard on the BBC that a study in Scotland shows that the population there is decreasing to a point? where it will damage their economy. So why is it that all I read on YA and in newspapers is that we are over run with immigrants? (The study was carried out by 5 Scottish Universities over a 2 year period, so I'm assuming it is accurate.) Teddy, thanks for the invite, I go there regularly. wave, I'm aware of immigrants working hard. I didn't realise that was a problem.
Identifying a (Gaelic) poem from 'A History of Scotland' on the BBC? In the episode Language is Power (available on iPlayer) near the start, at about six minutes I believe, is a poem in Gaelic. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could identify this poem and the poet. Thanks in advance

What was the name of a UK TV series (BBC I think), about an alien invasion occurring in Scotland? It was mid 1990's, and was featured on another series called sci-fi:uk, which i think was on channel 4. It was set in the modern day, and I think they nuked the invasion site at the end.

Do you think that Scotland's youth are listening to choral evensong currently on BBC radio 3? http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/choralevensong/pip/pal7s/ Yes Sparkles you've hit on a good nickname - I just need to remember that it's you now what with the new avatar *and* a new name (and don't forget that *some* on here object to the use of *stars* for some reason - see some of the answers I've had in the past!) Binky - I *feel* for you - come up to Leeds and you will be alright. Apologies - that last was addressed to bubbles... but,Binky - I am sure that you are correct too and so probably are the London boys who *should* be singing evensong! Well "ladymoonlight" if you were to study the playlist from Buckfast Abbey in the link that I gave would see that it includes a setting of Psalm 141 which ends thus - "Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape." http://www.bartleby.com/108/19/141.html I am sure that many teenagers would take that to heart more readily than the produce of the monks at Buckfast if they were allowed to express themselves openly and free from "peer pressure" and other influences such as the all day opening hours approved by Parliament (although they already had all day opening I understand particularly in the House of Lords - due to Peer pressure no doubt). Didn't you mean to write "...with*out* you pointing out ... etc.",Heather? - but I "caught your drift" anyway. My daughter-in-law is fine thank you very much so far as I know - I have had the weekend off as they have all gone down to *her* Mother for the weekend and I have had a nice rest - I hope that you can say the same.
