The Chief is made aware of a potential newspaper scoop featuring a leaked recording that could sink his whole career. His paranoia soon becomes all-consuming, and he suspects those around him in the force - even his own family - of betrayal. These explosive revelations threaten to eclipse his revolutionary new police work policy, where he redefines the very nature of crime. As his relationship with government, press and the public deteriorates, will he be forced to redefine the very nature of the Chief.

Though he is married to the force, and justice is his mistress, the Chief feels the time is right to dip his toe into the water and get back out there, hoping to meet a high flyer at a similar level to himself.

Scottish enthusiasts from around the world join the Clan Buchanan family in deepest Perthshire for the inauguration of their newly confirmed chief, the Scottish millionaire landowner Mike Buchanan. Without a chief for 300 years, and few historical records to rely on, ceremony and dress are being freely invented. Are the Buchanans reinvigorating Scottish tradition as they say, or following in the tradition of their famous ancestral house guest Sir Walter Scott, the writer who created the romanticised image of Scotland that still endures to this day. This irreverent documentary takes a sideways look at how traditions are created and witnesses history being made, or at least made up.

Aberdeen Harbour on the north east coast of Scotland, is one of Britain's oldest businesses and one of Europe's most modern ports. It is the heartbeat of the offshore oil and gas industry. Every year, more than eight thousand boats pass through the harbour waters, helped by the hidden world of the men and women who keep it running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is their story. In this first programme of the series, the Harbour's best known barmaid, Val Morrison of the Crown & Anchor, is getting ready for a Halloween party in the pub. We meet the Harbour boatmen, a small close knit team of men who between them must ensure every boat is safely docked. And we're aboard the massive Bibby Sapphire as she heads out to sea, where saturation diver Terry Dearlove faces a tricky pipeline installation. When you're working 185 metres beneath the waves and living in a tiny pressurised chamber, it's the little things that mean a lot.

Dry dock delays and breakdowns cause chaos across the network, triggering a crisis meeting at HQ. On Islay whisky freight, tourists and locals vie for space on the ferry.

Two-part documentary exploring the 1968 case in which three women were killed after a night of dancing, triggering Scotland’s largest manhunt. The suspect’s now-infamous moniker, Bible John, came after a key witness described a man who picked up women, yet quoted extensively from the Old Testament and frowned on adultery. Despite one of the biggest manhunts in Scottish history, these brutal killings remain unsolved more than 50 years on. The first part of this two-part documentary begins in 1968 Glasgow. Far from the Swinging Sixties of London, Glasgow was in a state of disarray, with appalling living conditions in much of the city and many of the tenement slums being torn down. Life was hard, but Glaswegians had a lifeline in the form of the dance halls. Glasgow was known for being ‘dancing daft’ and boasted many of the country’s top dance halls. But given the city's numerous gangs and hard-drinking reputation, there was always a level of violence simmering beneath the surface. Featuring testimony from some of the detectives and reporters who worked on and covered the case.

Second of a two-part documentary exploring the 1968 case in which three women were killed after a night of dancing, triggering Scotland’s largest manhunt. In November 1969, Helen Puttock was found dead after she went out dancing at the Barrowland Ballroom with her sister. She was the third woman to have been murdered in similar circumstances, and Glasgow detectives now feared that they were dealing with a serial killer. Journalist Magnus Linklater recounts the interview he conducted with Helen’s sister Jeannie Williams, who was with her the night she was killed. Jeannie left Helen in a taxi with a man named John, who they had met at the Barrowland earlier that night. Jeannie’s testimony about the mysterious red-haired, smart-suited man with crooked teeth who quoted from the Bible would form the basis of the biggest manhunt Scotland had ever seen. This is the story of that incredible and groundbreaking investigation, and the extraordinary effort made by the police, led by DSI Joe Beattie, to try and find the killer.

It’s the grand final! The judges - interior designer Anna Campbell Jones, architect Danny Campbell and Isle of Mull-based interior designer Banjo Beale - have travelled the country in search of Scotland’s home of the year. It’s now down to the final six homes – the winners of each regional episode – to go head-to-head, but only one of them can take the prestigious title. The judges have invited the six regional winners to join them at Glasgow’s House for an Art Lover, where they will go through the homes one by one, assessing them on architectural merit, distinctive design and personal style, before whittling six down to three, and then – the hardest job of all – choosing the overall winner of Scotland’s Home of the Year 2025. The six finalists are: Sandstone Bungalow in Giffnock won in the West. Hilltop House on the outskirts of Pitmedden, in rural Aberdeenshire, won in the North East and Northern Isles. Wee City Nook in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, won in the East. Tree House in Broughty Ferry won in Central and Tayside. An Cala Cottage in Skye won in the Highlands and Islands. Craigmount near Dalbeattie won in the South.

The Clydesdale horse, famed for its white-feathered feet, is in danger of dying out. These giant, iconic horses are on the verge of extinction in the very place where they were first bred – Scotland. There were once thousands of Clydesdales roaming the famous Clyde Valley near Glasgow, but they are now all but gone. The horse was once so valuable the Scots sold them all over the world, with the most sought after being the pure blacks. However, one woman is on a quest to save the Scottish Clydesdale. Janice Kirkpatrick is an award-winning Glaswegian designer with a simple plan to find the lost blacks and bring them home. In an extraordinary journey from the Clyde Valley to the heart of the Canadian Prairies, Janice uncovers the true story of the Clydesdale and traces a Canadian family who have its bloodlines for five generations. With this discovery, she unlocks the secret to reviving the Scottish herd.
