Programmes selected? You want a comprehensive list of every TV show aired since 1970? Really? Its as if the UK Nationalists dont understand English. Lets be honest here. Content is either good enough or it isn't. Still Game went nationwide for a reason and Limmy hasn't. We aren't independent so UK news should take priority over Reporting Glasgow.

Yet you could say Limmy has been more successful outside of Scotland than Still Game. Live shows in London, appearing on Charlie Bookers programme, interviews with Richard Herring, two or three pretty successful books. Unfortunately Still Game watered down for the English audience didn't have the same impact as the earlier series did up here and I'm pretty sure it's been pulled down south. Limmy's comedy isn't 100% "weegie-centric" and therefore more people in England can relate to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just seems like overkill. There is definitrly a need for a proper Scottish news programme earlier than 10.30pm but the other local output is weak and in no way can sustain 5 hours per night.

Mr Sifter Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 On 01/03/2019 at 14:35, Maroon Sailor said: Box office Wee bit of a snobby comment to make MS. Ayr need the points to ensure they stay in the play off places after a storming start to the season, and Falkirk are desperate for a result to keep them out of the relegation zone. It’s an important game for both clubs and should be a decent one. Sarcastically calling it ‘box office’ smacks of someone who thinks that fitbaw begins and ends with Sky Super Dooper Sunday. The BBC isn’t a commercial station, it doesn’t have to ensure the games they televise are ‘box office’. I like the fact that I’m getting to see games and players that I wouldn’t normally get to see, in what is shaping up to be a great league this year. Genuinely not trying to be a smart so I hope it doesn’t come across that way, but this thread is full of the good auld Scottish cringe, from the programmes being shown to the games being covered. And it makes for shit reading. The channel itself will will no doubt take a while to bed in, but one look at Twitter on its launch night showed loads of ‘its shite/its tartan tat/its weegie pish’ type comments, a mere couple of hours after it launched. What chance has it got when punters are almost pre conditioned to talk down anything Scottish before a baw is even kicked? Once again MS, even though I’ve quoted you I hope you’ll appreciate my point was more a general one than aimed at you specifically. Your comment just happened to be a decent illustration of he point I was trying to make ?? Anyway, I wish this channel aw the best...and look forward to the fitbaw the morn ?
