Series 1

Episode 1

Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Scotland HD

In this new ten-part series commissioned by BBC Scotland, we will cover news, events and gossip not through the official bulletins and newsreels, but through the views and reactions of Scottish people who take to their cameras to discuss this week’s burning issues.

The team look at the measles epidemic that has hit the UK and why it has returned with a vengeance. They examine Scotland’s complicated connection with sugar and how full-sugar Irn Bru has made it back onto the shelves. The NHS’s 'superpoo' campaign gets people questioning their opinions on faecal matters. Plus news breaks of the possibility that Scotland might be chosen as the home for Amazon Prime’s Lord of the Rings TV series. Show less
