:00:17. > :00:24.Tonight on Newsnight Scotland - the birth of the royal baby has sent the
:00:24. > :00:30.media into a frenzy. How will the new ear to the throne find his place
:00:30. > :00:39.in a changing nation? Scotland has been asked banning
:00:39. > :00:47.backdrop to films. Well a film studio and courage more films?
:00:47. > :00:51.It is a boy, and a big boy at that. Our future king made the journalists
:00:51. > :00:56.wait. His grandfather would be proud of that. There is flash photography
:00:57. > :01:02.in this report. This is the story of what happens when the demands of the
:01:02. > :01:07.modern digital media collide with tradition.
:01:07. > :01:11.Not to mention some nifty royal footwork. This lot have been camped
:01:11. > :01:18.out year for a week and still missed William and keep sneaking in at six
:01:18. > :01:23.o'clock this morning. This is how long day of seeing not
:01:23. > :01:32.very much began. We breaking news this morning. We are going straight
:01:32. > :01:38.to St Mary's Hospital in London. Good morning. It is the breaking
:01:38. > :01:42.news that we have been waiting days for... What can you do while waiting
:01:42. > :01:52.for a future king to be born? Why not speak to a great British
:01:52. > :01:56.
:01:56. > :02:01.eccentric? I am overwhelmed. This is for the baby. He thinks he will
:02:02. > :02:11.appear in six hours time. By late afternoon it is all getting a bit
:02:12. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:23.repetitive. Time for a gag. Still nothing has happened. Good morning,
:02:23. > :02:27.America... Royal events would not be the same about finding out what the
:02:27. > :02:35.foreigners of it. Just around dawn this morning the Duchess of
:02:35. > :02:43.Cambridge... But then at ten past eight it's
:02:43. > :02:53.finally arrived. The media was delivered of a story.
:02:53. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :03:04.The Duchess of Cambridge has been delivered of a son. Happy and
:03:04. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:10.Claudius and one day reign over us. -- happy and glorious.
:03:10. > :03:13.If he is warm to reign over us perhaps he will have the best part
:03:13. > :03:20.of a century to get to grips with the demands that such an age will
:03:20. > :03:26.make on him. Good luck to him. I am joined by Roddy Martine who has
:03:26. > :03:34.written on the Royals in Scotland and I Ken Lennox, Royal
:03:34. > :03:37.photographer. Things so different now a days
:03:37. > :03:46.compared to when you were standing outside that hospital for the worst
:03:46. > :03:53.of Prince William. Even protocol has been changed. The diesel has been
:03:53. > :03:58.replaced by the press release. has changed naturally. We did not
:03:58. > :04:05.have rolling reports. You have to feel sorry for the journalist who
:04:05. > :04:08.stood out there boiling while they had nothing to say. The
:04:08. > :04:17.photographers stood there waiting to photograph nothing all day. It was a
:04:17. > :04:21.tough day for them. The media has changed. In the daily Telegraph
:04:21. > :04:26.today after William was born there were ten other stories on the front
:04:27. > :04:31.page. We have now come into the age of celebrity. There is no bigger
:04:31. > :04:34.celebrity than the British Royal Family worldwide. When you have
:04:34. > :04:40.nothing to say and the camera is keep coming back it is a very
:04:40. > :04:44.painful event as well as you no doubt saw. Roddy Martine, a big
:04:44. > :04:48.event. Can you set this in historical context for us? We have
:04:48. > :04:58.had a lot of criticism about the coverage, but how historical is this
:04:58. > :05:06.event? It is a major part of British study. In the past you would have
:05:06. > :05:10.had beacons on hills. We have got television now. We do not need that.
:05:10. > :05:13.It is a very great thing to celebrate. It brings the nation
:05:13. > :05:20.together in the sense of something good and something relating to the
:05:20. > :05:23.view your and bringing continuity in a very and settled world. Looking to
:05:23. > :05:29.the future and that continuity, there has been criticism of the
:05:29. > :05:35.Royal Family. It will be a white male head of state for the next 100
:05:35. > :05:41.years possibly. Is that too much continuity? I think it is terrific,
:05:41. > :05:49.but I am sure there are people who will disagree with me. You know many
:05:49. > :05:53.people in the Royal Family well. How well young people cope with this?
:05:53. > :06:03.You still went those extra links to get those paparazzi shots. It was a
:06:03. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:07.different time. There is a young prince who knows what happened to
:06:07. > :06:13.his mother and is going to defend his wife against such behaviour. I
:06:13. > :06:17.stepped out of line I going to an island and the photographing Diana
:06:18. > :06:22.in a bikini. I was sent to the North Pole for four months as a result of
:06:22. > :06:26.that. That use Diana no end. I swore I would never get involved in that
:06:26. > :06:32.again because Diana was ten years you under when she had her first
:06:32. > :06:41.child. Not like a much more mature and experienced Duchess of
:06:41. > :06:47.Cambridge. Will he be protective of his family? What is his impression
:06:48. > :06:53.of the media? Does he hates the media? I think you hold them in low
:06:53. > :06:57.regard. He might be too strong. He is a polite young man. There are
:06:57. > :07:07.some sections of it he knows will never ever give up on getting that
:07:07. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:19.picture. That he is tough. The decision to release from Kensington
:07:19. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:25.Palace was so that somebody would not steal the thunder. I think he
:07:25. > :07:34.must have worried about that and decided he would control it, but she
:07:34. > :07:39.does very well. An attacking mystic relationship, perhaps, with the
:07:39. > :07:44.media. The people of Scotland are seeing this to a different prism.
:07:44. > :07:50.How does the Royal Family stay connected to the people of Scotland?
:07:50. > :07:53.It is a different kind of attitude. I have been in journalism for 40
:07:53. > :07:59.years and I have seen how well and hope that lately have handled it in
:07:59. > :08:04.that period. They have learned their lesson will stop in Scotland we are
:08:04. > :08:07.not so obsessed with the media fanfare that is going on in England.
:08:08. > :08:17.It is fascinating to see all these cameras and film teams from all over
:08:17. > :08:23.the world. You are talking about a possible future head of state.
:08:23. > :08:27.Whether that will pan out in the passage of time we do not know.
:08:27. > :08:33.They're in mind that the monarchy is not just the British monarchy
:08:33. > :08:38.looking after the UK. They have this dimensional across the world. My
:08:38. > :08:45.Facebook page has been filled up with comments from friends of mine
:08:45. > :08:49.in Australia and New Zealand raving about the situation. They are all
:08:49. > :08:55.saying it is wonderful. You have mentioned the Commonwealth. They
:08:55. > :09:02.have got an independence referendum next year. What could this royal
:09:02. > :09:05.birth mean in the constitutional context right here in Scotland? This
:09:05. > :09:12.baby's first birthday will be a couple of months before the
:09:12. > :09:16.referendum. What might this be the mean constitutionally in Scotland?
:09:16. > :09:21.Alex Salmond has been very canny in bringing in the monarchy as part of
:09:21. > :09:26.the package. Which ever way the ball swings the Queen will remain head of
:09:26. > :09:31.state in Scotland. You need to have a head of state, particularly one
:09:31. > :09:36.that is above politics. The Queen has shown us all how to do it.
:09:36. > :09:41.Whether this will survive her son and her grandson and a
:09:41. > :09:49.great-grandson, who knows? The monarchy has survived so far. In the
:09:50. > :09:52.context of other monarchies in Europe that is remarkable. In media
:09:52. > :09:59.management terms, your colleagues will be delighted that the birth
:09:59. > :10:05.came at 8:30pm, plenty of time to get the papers ready for tomorrow.
:10:05. > :10:13.They will be hoping for the first baby picture tomorrow. You were
:10:13. > :10:16.shooting away, waiting for the event. Once it is all over, they are
:10:17. > :10:24.in the car, gone. If you hear someone shouting, I've got it, and
:10:24. > :10:30.you have not, that is terrible. It is so important to newspapers. We
:10:30. > :10:34.have had this wonderful continuity of the Queen since 1952. No one has
:10:34. > :10:38.had something as good as that going for them as our country.
:10:38. > :10:42.A week today we will be doing a special debate programme of the
:10:42. > :10:50.place of the monarchy in Scotland. You can join Glen Campbell and a
:10:50. > :10:54.panel of guests and a studio audience next Monday at 10:30pm.
:10:54. > :10:59.Scottish audiences have no doubt been entertained to see zombies
:10:59. > :11:06.running round Glasgow in the blockbuster World War Z. It has been
:11:06. > :11:13.a popular location for many Hollywood films. Now in American
:11:13. > :11:19.drama will be shot in Scotland. But there are no cause for a permanent
:11:19. > :11:25.film studio for Scotland. -- Nall calls.
:11:25. > :11:29.The decision to shoot World War Z in the centre of Scotland once again
:11:29. > :11:33.ignited the debate over opening up Scottish film studio. Fast forward a
:11:33. > :11:37.few years and you can see that the film sets are now long gone but the
:11:37. > :11:45.appetite to market Glasgow was one of the UK 's most film friendly
:11:45. > :11:51.cities has not diminished. Could Glasgow or any part of Scotland be
:11:51. > :12:01.home to something like this? Pain which studios has in its time
:12:01. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:14.produced many of the world 's biggest films. -- Pinewood Studios.
:12:14. > :12:20.David Tennant has been in Stirlingshire filming for his new
:12:20. > :12:24.production. A story of a Scot living in London who takes a trip north to
:12:24. > :12:29.celebrate his father 's 75th birthday. The producer said that the
:12:29. > :12:33.presence of a full skill studio in Scotland will be welcomed. we will
:12:33. > :12:39.always look for a space to transform and create our own. There has not
:12:39. > :12:44.been to date a big film studio up here. I think if you look at the
:12:44. > :12:54.likes of the shows that have been appearing recent years, things such
:12:54. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :12:59.as Braveheart, perhaps a bit longer ago, sky fall, Star Wars coming out.
:12:59. > :13:04.On our skill of budget we have not had any studio set builds but some
:13:04. > :13:08.of the bigger shows will have and I think they could only view that as
:13:08. > :13:13.an absolute positives and a big tick in the box.
:13:13. > :13:16.For the star of the production, coming home is always a bonus.
:13:16. > :13:20.lovely, lovely to film in Scotland at all. Particularly nice to film in
:13:20. > :13:25.Scotland when the weather is fine and we are in a beautiful location
:13:25. > :13:33.like this, quite hard to beat. Glasgow is already home to its own
:13:33. > :13:37.film production facility, Film City. But what about a full skill studio?
:13:37. > :13:42.That debate has been going on for years and some say that the case for
:13:42. > :13:51.it has not been made. Some people feel that a studio would magically
:13:51. > :13:56.make it easier to make films. I think that that in general, those
:13:56. > :14:01.people who have made films more frequently at a skill or more
:14:01. > :14:04.convinced that are less convinced of that argument. I would be surprised
:14:04. > :14:09.if experienced producers are all saying that they would find it
:14:09. > :14:18.easier to get their next film financed because of a studio.
:14:18. > :14:22.regardless, Scotland remains an important location for filming.
:14:22. > :14:26.Damian Lewis has been filming scenes for his new drama on the Isle of
:14:26. > :14:36.Mull. The film 's first-time director says it has given her the
:14:36. > :14:36.
:14:36. > :14:42.ideal setting. the landscape, the drama, the epic quality, the colour,
:14:42. > :14:49.the air, the sea, absolutely. And the people. The crew, that is it as
:14:49. > :14:57.well. Having the opportunity to be hearing, no, -- to be here, now.
:14:57. > :15:07.That is immense. And put making TV shows also bring success? The US
:15:07. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:20.cable network Stars is coming to Scotland to film. To film the Bic in
:15:20. > :15:27.its own setting is a fantastic endorsement for Scotland. It is an
:15:27. > :15:35.endorsement of the cruise and quality here. It put Scotland on the
:15:35. > :15:42.international TV drama map. What certainly seems like -- it
:15:42. > :15:48.certainly seems that Scotland has a major role to play in TV and film,
:15:48. > :15:54.but will it ever have its own studio? Better still to be decided.
:15:54. > :16:00.I'm joined by Tiernan Kelly, who is putting together a proposal for a
:16:00. > :16:10.studio here. How close are we to getting a film studio We are very
:16:10. > :16:11.
:16:11. > :16:15.close. Film City cars or his -- Film City Glasgow has been working
:16:15. > :16:23.towards this. We are currently drawing up a business plan which
:16:23. > :16:27.will give us up to 50,000 square feet of studio space. Wardrobe,
:16:27. > :16:34.workshop, make-up facilities. And also a facilities village. This is
:16:34. > :16:38.really where we differ from previous studio projects. In recent memory,
:16:38. > :16:45.Scotland 's attempt at putting a studio together have been pretty
:16:45. > :16:51.laughable. Most famously was a Braveheart theme park. Pie in the
:16:51. > :16:59.sky stuff. The villages quarter hour proposal. We want all of the
:16:59. > :17:06.production and facilities companies on one site.
:17:06. > :17:09.Is this creation of a hub key to the proposal? We have heard some say
:17:09. > :17:19.that whilst experienced producers will say that a film studio is not
:17:19. > :17:20.
:17:20. > :17:24.feasible in Scotland? we have a key tenant base and facilities are used
:17:24. > :17:28.by them. But big companies can come through and use those facilities.
:17:28. > :17:38.But it does not matter if that happens. Our central business plan
:17:38. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:50.will sustain it. We have the backing of Ian Smith, Scotland 's most
:17:50. > :17:57.famous Hollywood producer. You are confident that Scotland can sustain
:17:57. > :18:05.this? This is imperilled call analysis of 2011 film-making in
:18:05. > :18:14.Scotland. Doubling of our capacity would have enjoyed occupation levels
:18:14. > :18:20.of around 7%. With introduction of the new high-end TV tax incentive,
:18:20. > :18:28.we would have another �315 million worth of film production coming to
:18:28. > :18:31.the UK. we would have a pretty decent crew based here, professional
:18:31. > :18:40.production crew? That is intrinsic to our proposal. The skills element
:18:40. > :18:43.of it. We visited Northern Ireland and heard anecdotes about graduates
:18:43. > :18:51.from art school working on Game of Thrones storyboards. Those
:18:51. > :18:54.opportunities we are in Scotland. A big production such as Game of
:18:54. > :19:00.Thrones would give us training opportunities as a result of that.
:19:00. > :19:10.Thank you very much for coming in. Let us take a quick look at tomorrow
:19:10. > :19:14.'s newspapers now. We cannot not start with the sun. The thinnest
:19:14. > :19:24.easel and the announcement of the birth of the new Prince, the baby
:19:24. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:30.boy. -- CMIS easel. That is all from us tonight. From
:19:30. > :19:40.all of us on the programme, thank you for watching, do have a very
:19:40. > :19:56.
:19:56. > :20:00.across the course of Tuesday. A number of us will get the downpours.
:20:00. > :20:05.Some of us will miss them. This is the same in Northern Ireland.
:20:05. > :20:10.Temperatures are little bit on the fresh side. At this stage across
:20:10. > :20:19.eastern and southeastern Scotland it is not too bad. Later in the day
:20:19. > :20:23.that is when it could get bad. There could be showers almost anywhere
:20:23. > :20:29.across England. The whole atmosphere across the UK is waiting to erupt,
:20:29. > :20:37.to create those big thunder and downpours. Also heal stones and some
:20:37. > :20:43.big gusts of wind. There will not be too much rainfall. Let us have a
:20:43. > :20:52.look at the outlook as we head towards Tuesday and wait and see.
:20:52. > :21:00.Potential for still exists. -- for storm is still exists. Potential
