Rosie is near Dumfries finding out how scientists are trying to selectively breed cattle that emit less methane, and Anne is on the Isle of Ulva, where she drops in on Banjo and his partner Ro as they attempt to restore a listed historic house.

Off-beat sketches, musings and animations from Limmy. Mr Mulvaney the silver-haired businessman with delinquent tendencies plots to avoid arrest. Zoned-out waster Dee Dee brings his kitchen to life. The supercomputer wreaks havoc for an old classmate of Limmy's. Plus there's a peeping Tom in town.

Misguided entrepreneur Alex Ciderson invents a new way of packaging beer, 'quality polis' McGregor and Toshan gatecrash a party, while pals Peter and Scott find they have a different approach to shaving a certain part of their anatomy. The Kilty Club's Herry McLoudery massacres another Scots song, and in another of his home videos, Jolly Boy John displays some unusual ways with pakora. An incompetent taxidermist manages to make rather more than just a pig's ear out of a stuffed dog, thus enraging one pet-loving Burnistoun resident, while another is driven to distraction by his new talking alarm clock which won't shut up.

Paul Murton’s loch-hopping journey across Scotland reaches the quiet lochs of the Borders, where he learns dog handling techniques at a school for sheep dogs, and then heads to some man-made lochs in the Moorfoot Hills, where he hears tell of hidden treasure. Then, in Edinburgh he discovers the story of a Dutch-speaking Scottish minister on skates and goes in search of a lost river and two long-vanished lochs in the heart of the city. Crossing the Firth of Forth, Paul travels around the industrial lochs of the old Fife coal field before walking in the footsteps of Mary, Queen of Scots on a haunted island in Loch Leven.

Documentary tracing the extraordinary story of amateur codebreakers Satoshi Tomokiyo, George Lasry and Norbert Biermann, who collaborated across continents to decipher a mysterious cache of coded letters which were discovered to be from Mary, Queen of Scots.

Set against Mary’s dramatic journey from infant queen, through civil war, to abdication and years of captivity, this film examines the lengths Mary went to conceal her words, and the ingenuity needed to decode her letters today, even with the help of 21st-century computing.
