Breaking Stories
A review of great moments in Scottish TV, including a contentious Secret Society episode, Kirsty Wark's Thatcher interview, and coverage of Lockerbie and Dunblane.
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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 more recently the Panorama investigation Britain's Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔcare Scandal.
