Watching Ourselves 60 Years of TV in Scotland (2012)

1. Breaking Stories
Celebrating 60 years of television in Scotland, a look at Scotland's history of great television journalism. From reporter Fyfe Robertson's stylish reports in a trilby on horseback for Tonight, to Duncan Campbell's 1985 Secret Society episode - The Zircon Affair - which landed the BBC in trouble with the government. Plus Kirsty Wark's Thatcher interview, coverage of the trio of tragedies that struck Scotland: Lockerbie, Piper Alpha and Dunblane, and the more recently Panorama investigation Britain's Homecare Scandal.

2. Having a Laugh
This episode traces the evolution of comedy from the 1950s and features the best of Scottish humour on the box. Scottish comedy expresses and mocks national identity, giving us the chance to laugh at ourselves and our foibles, sometimes in a very bleak way. It also makes full use of the Scots language, from Chick Murray through Rab C Nesbitt to Burnistoun.

3. Mean Streets
Writer Peter McDougall's groundbreaking plays represented, for the first time on television, working class Scotland: its poverty, sectarianism, drink and drug problems and its hard men. Shoot for the Sun got under the skin of eighties Edinburgh, Jute City featured Thatcherite criminals in Dundee and The Steamie presented a nostalgic look back to a vanished Glasgow. With contributions from Brian Cox, David Hayman and Eileen McCallum.
