0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hello and welcome to Points Of View in the weather in Glasgow,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15and if it's good enough for Prince Charles,
0:00:15 > 0:00:16it's good enough for us.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Aha!
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Now this is BBC Scotland HQ here,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25a TV powerhouse which has brought us things like
0:00:25 > 0:00:28BBC Four's Terry Pratchett - Choosing To Die
0:00:28 > 0:00:32and the children's favourite Nina And The Neurons.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36But it's actually a programme that is not being made any more
0:00:36 > 0:00:38by BBC Scotland Drama
0:00:38 > 0:00:41which has got many of you hot under the collar.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The way you shot at me marks you as a loathsome cad.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Steady, Garrow. I could challenge you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- This is torment.- For now, yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- But given time... - William, there is no hope.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You are ill-prepared.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Be reckless with your own life, not your clients'.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- But you do not own me! - If this association is no longer beneficial...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Very well.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58So the decision has been made and it is final on both counts.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01But they are going to call "action" on something else
0:02:01 > 0:02:05in BBC Scotland Drama and that is Waterloo Road.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07From now on, it is being made in Greenock.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The migration of 50 hours of Waterloo Road
0:02:11 > 0:02:13will bring £25 million to Scotland
0:02:13 > 0:02:16over the next two years, creating 230 jobs.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18This all adds to the statistic
0:02:18 > 0:02:21that Scotland has the highest level of film, TV
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and animation production in the UK outside London.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29This year will also see the return of David Morrissey's Field Of Blood
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and next month, filming starts on a new two-part drama
0:02:33 > 0:02:35starring Douglas Henshall called Shetland,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40which will be shot on location on the Shetland Isles and in Glasgow.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm prepared to take the rap for what I've done.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And also from the streets of Glasgow,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48BBC Three drama Lip Service has returned by popular demand.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Jason Isaacs will be back in the Highlands later this year
0:02:51 > 0:02:53as flawed detective Jackson Brodie
0:02:53 > 0:02:56to film another series of Case Histories.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Suffice to say, they are busy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Now, you find me here in the Eggheads studio,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04the home of the BBC Two quiz show which I host,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and it's also made here in Glasgow.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But our tea-time tussle was rather overshadowed this week
0:03:10 > 0:03:13by that elder statesman of quiz shows, Mastermind,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16who held their final on Friday night,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and in the run-up to the final there was quite a controversy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Mastermind has been testing the nation's grey cells since 1972,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25but 40 years on,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29some viewers think contestants are exploiting a loophole.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53On Mastermind,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56if two contestants at the end of the two rounds
0:03:56 > 0:03:57end up with the same score,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00the number of questions that they've passed on
0:04:00 > 0:04:02is taken into account,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and the one with the fewer passes is deemed to be the winner.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Smith.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Smith.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'When it came to the end of the programme,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16'he and another contestant had the same score,'
0:04:16 > 0:04:20and he won because he'd had fewer passes
0:04:20 > 0:04:23because of the fact that he'd said a different word to "pass".
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, I did say that the passes matter a lot.
0:04:26 > 0:04:32First place, 27 points and one pass, George Ferzoco.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36'I felt desperately sorry for the other contestant
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'who ended up coming second.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40'So, BBC,'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43can you tighten the rules up so this doesn't happen again?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45If a contestant chooses not to pass
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and give an answer that is incorrect,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50that will cost them time,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53as John has to correct each incorrect answer,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55as was the case here.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Which global arts prize was he awarded in 1990 by the Japanese Art Association?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Smith.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Praemium Imperiale.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04It did cost him time.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07He answered less questions than the contestant he was tied with
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and, as a point of information,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12if he had said "pass" at each of those occasions,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16he still would have had less passes than the other contestant.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18This has not been an issue in the past.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21We do not anticipate it being an issue in the future,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and as somebody has played the game within the rules,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26we are not going to change the rules.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It may be within the rules to say "Smith" instead of "pass",
0:05:29 > 0:05:33but in my opinion it's gamesmanship
0:05:33 > 0:05:36and it's not within the spirit of Mastermind,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and to me it's just not cricket.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42With intelligence comes ingenuity,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44but not enough to force a change in the rules.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Now, I couldn't resist this children's area here,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49which is apparently where all the creative types
0:05:49 > 0:05:51of children's TV get their ideas.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55All Over The Place, for example, being spawned from this very room.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59That madcap road trip covers Britain,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02but Planet Earth Live, which started this week,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06goes somewhat further afield for a rather more grown-up audience.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Planet Earth Live is the most ambitious
0:06:08 > 0:06:12live wildlife broadcast ever undertaken by anyone.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19We're covering six countries in five continents.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22We really wanted to give a sense that we're all around the world.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Maybe a little too ambitious for the Hamster?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29He's certainly getting a mauling in the viewers' lion's den.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Whoa!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Wahhh!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Richard Hammond, I'm sure, surprises a few people,
0:06:52 > 0:06:53and surprised me at first,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56but what a lot of people don't know,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Richard has always had a fascination with wildlife.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02In this show, he wants to lift the bonnet on nature
0:07:02 > 0:07:06and I would encourage people to leave their preconceptions
0:07:06 > 0:07:08of the petrolhead behind and give him a chance.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Trying to get footage from around the world,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24from some very remote field locations,
0:07:24 > 0:07:29is quite a feat, and we have the most amazing hand-picked team
0:07:29 > 0:07:31of technical professionals.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41This series is designed to be really broad appeal,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45really mainstream, something that people can share together,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47that families can watch together.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Jewel eventually returned to the base of the tree
0:07:56 > 0:07:57and called her cubs down.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59'We're not doing generic stories about
0:07:59 > 0:08:02'"Here are some lions, here are some elephants."
0:08:02 > 0:08:05'We're following individual animals.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We've seen nature writing us the most spectacular script
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and, as the executive producer,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I can safely say I have no idea what's going to happen.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So "Planet Earth Partly Live" on TV,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18but a bit livelier on Facebook and Twitter.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now, high-quality programmes coming out of this building,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23as you can see from the metalwork here,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and it's BBC Four's obsession with metalwork
0:08:26 > 0:08:29which has got the Points Of View message board buzzing.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's where the royal workshops were.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52There's just a bunch of trees there now.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And looking at the site now,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59we get a much better sense, actually,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03of the distance between the royal workshops
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and the palace itself.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's close enough for the king to just stroll over
0:09:09 > 0:09:11and meet with his armourers if he wished to,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13but at the same time,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16it's far enough away so that the king and the palace
0:09:16 > 0:09:21aren't disturbed by the incredible clamour and noise
0:09:21 > 0:09:23of the armourers at work.
0:09:23 > 0:09:29Not only the noise, but the smell of burning charcoal and fuming mercury.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It would have been a noisy, nasty place.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And BBC Scotland celebrates its metal too.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Glasgow's very proud of its steel-making history,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41which is why its reception desk here
0:09:41 > 0:09:44is actually made from a two-ton girder.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46And if Glasgow is synonymous with steel-making,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Italy is synonymous with food,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and the Two Greedy Italians are still hungry.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57One time, Gennaro, I was eating near the harbour,
0:09:57 > 0:09:5920 of those.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03And I was taking one by one and nibbling, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- And the other side, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. - Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Just like playing mouth harmonica.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12So you were playing, "Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!"
0:10:12 > 0:10:14HE GRUNTS
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- No, you do that noise. I didn't. - OK, all right.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28When they're not eating,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Italians are being romantic or tragic or both.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34At least in Shakespeare they are.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38If we are looking for the political message at the heart of the play,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40forget Antony and Cleopatra.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Shakespeare is more interested in Octavius.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50He outmanoeuvres everyone and plays according to a new book of rules.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Culture vultures are at odds over that one, then,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and talking of culture,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30The Culture Show is made here in Glasgow too.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Now, one programme that has united viewers in praise
0:11:33 > 0:11:36is Great Ormond Street Hospital.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Praise, of course, for the medical teams
0:11:38 > 0:11:40who've been on display in the programme,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42but also for the production team.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Her doctor Anthony Michalski and the surgical team
0:11:45 > 0:11:49are reviewing her scan to see if the surgery's been successful.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And you can see that she had
0:11:52 > 0:11:58a large left foramen of Luschka recurrence, which has been resected,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03and now what she has is a new, more anterior lesion.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08I'd rather hope that after this last operation,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11it would have been the first time where we would have got her
0:12:11 > 0:12:16into a position where she was surgically clear, or scanned clear.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18She's never been that since we saw her.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20This is just a recurrent phenomenon,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23and it's not actually treating a tumour,
0:12:23 > 0:12:24it's treating the scan.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29One feels one's chasing shadows a bit here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Another rare quality, according to Barbara Eley,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55is correct pronunciation,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and it is some-THINK that gets her very annoyed.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Hi, Points Of View.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Many TV personalities use the words "any-THINK", "some-THINK",
0:13:04 > 0:13:06"every-THINK" and "no-THINK".
0:13:06 > 0:13:09There is no K on the end of these words.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I find it very irritating
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and wonder why BBC chiefs do not notice this
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and eradicate it from our screens.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Please help me in my mission to clean up this abomination.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I can tell you're angry, Barbara.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Now, if there's something winding you up,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25to get it off your chest, why not e-mail us?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You can write to us.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35You can call us, local rate, from a landline,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37although mobiles may cost more.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Or hop on the message board, which is always lively.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49From us here in Glasgow, goodbye.
