BBC ALBA - Trusadh, Series 8, Dòtaman aig 30/Dòtaman at 30

A colourful celebration of the iconic Gaelic children's programme as it turns 30.

Documentary looking at the success of the Gaelic children's programme Dotaman, with contributions from presenter Donnie 'Dotaman' MacLeod and the team behind the show.

Tha 30 bliadhna ann bhon a chraobh-sgaoil BBC Scotland a' chiad phrògram ann an sreath ùr de phrògraman Gàidhlig chloinne - Dòtaman. 'S beag fios a bh' ann aig an àm cho soirbheachail 's a bhiodh am prògram agus a' phrìomh neach-aithris, Donnie 'Dòtaman' MacLeòid, 's dh'fhàs e gu bhith na aon de na prògraman tbh. Gàidhlig a b'ainmeile a bh'ann.

Aithnichte airson an adan sònraichte, sgeulachdan air leth, aodach dathach, agus na h-òrain tarraingeach aig Donnie air a' ghiotàr, chaidh còrr is 400 prògram a chlàradh thar 16 bliadhna.

Ann am prògram blàth, snog a thogas iomadh cuimhne, tha Donnie agus an sgioba a' coimhead air ais agus a' meòrachadh air dè dh'fhàg e cho soirbheachail. Le dreach ùr air cuid de na h-òrain as cliùitiche, agus beachd bho chuid de luchd-leantainn 'celeb', nam measg Michelle MacManus agus Des Clarke, gheibh sinn a-mach mun tarraing a bh' aig Dòtaman dhan h-uile duine, agus an inbhe 'cult' a th'aige ann an cultar na h-Alba - is e fiù 's aig Iomall na Fèise ann an Dùn Èideann am bliadhna-sa!

Dòtaman at 30 -Comharrachadh dathte de aon de na prògraman Gàidhlig chloinne a b' ainmeile aig 30 bliadhna!

It is 30 years since BBC Scotland broadcast the first episode of a new Gaelic children's TV show, Dòtaman. Little did anyone know of the success the show and its iconic presenter, Donnie 'Dòtaman' MacLeod, would enjoy, as it became one of the most famous Gaelic brands on TV!

Famed for its trademark hats, wonderful storytelling, colourful outfits and catchy songs, which Donnie made his own with his trusty guitar, over 400 episodes were made of the series over 16 years.

With new renditions of Dòtaman classics and contributions from celebrity fans Michelle MacManus and Des Clarke, amongst others, we discover how Dòtaman appealed to all and enjoyed a true cult status in Scottish culture - even making it to the Edinburgh Fringe!
