This is a shocking report and raises serious questions for the BBC and Ofcom. I will be seeking meetings with both. Scotland’s growing screen sector has been a success story in recent years and must not be undermined.

A landmark in Scottish broadcasting - the first ever high-end Gaelic drama series: check out An t-Eilean (The Island) on BBC Alba, BBC4 and BBCiPlayer. Details in Edinburgh Evening News edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Important new survey launched by Scottish Government: "seeking views on how culture and the arts are currently supported in Scotland and areas for change.” Scotland's screen sector needs to engage in this process as it's about Screen Scotland as well as Creative Scotland...

How did I not know David Bowie lived in Drummond Street, Edinburgh for a short period in the early 1970s. Grateful to Mark Cousins for telling me over a curry yesterday in Tuk Tuk on Drummond Street yesterday. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/da…

If you have a vote in the BAFTA film awards, before you cast it please watch MILK by Miranda Stern and THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING by Theo Panagopoulos. Both are excellent, both deserve your vote.

Screen Scotland is funding this alongside partners. Is it your job? Would you want it to be? cultureforclimate.scot/were-hiring/

Don't think the Scottish Documentary Institute is on here, but the film they supported Theo Panagopoulos to make (with funding from Screen Scotland) won the Short Film Grand Jury Prize Sundance Film Festival. It's called The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing, & it's beautiful. deadline.com/2025/01/sundan…

We support our screen sector and in our budget we're providing a further ÂŁ2 million towards its development. First Minister John Swinney and Culture Secretary Angus Robertson visited a TV production filming in Scotland to explore the benefits screen production brings. Watch now

Today, UK Covid-19 Inquiry heard that the government instructed PPE suppliers to prioritise English NHS settings over Scotland. Just as shocking, the government withdrew embassy support from Scottish government officials negotiating PPE deals in foreign countries.
