River City goes to Holyrood
After the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s decision to axe River City, Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins check the health of Scotland’s TV and film industry and ask what role the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ should play in it.
The future of River City has been the subject of debate in the Scottish Parliament after the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s decision to cancel the long-running soap due to "changing viewing patterns".
Actor Tom Urie, who played Big Bob in the show, tells us how important it has been in launching careers. And we ask TV critic Siobhan Synott if Scotland is a place for creatives to thrive.
And what should we do about 'headphone dodgers'?
