Rare uktog Posted May 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I am reliably informed that there was a documentary on BBC Scotland last night (not sure if it had wider network coverage) looking at what is the "brand" Scotland all about. It featured tourism in addition to whisky and tartan as contributing to this brand and did a section on the emerging role of Scotland as a cruise destination. My husband who was "passively watching" suddenly realised, that's Journey and remembered a soaking wet day in July when we watched journey come in, in atrocious rain and a poor piper playing singing in the rain being filmed by TV. He said the section on Azamara lasted about a minute. He also did not know how to get a quick record button pushed on the skybox :mad: Sadly, I remain incarcerated in that other emerging cruise market (China) with no access to BBC UK play again on my IPad :( What I would give just now for a glimpse of my two favourites, my homeland and Journey on one screen......... But others in the UK might like to watch. I was assured it was not an SNP led documentary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted May 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Ann. Found it after I worked out how to change my location on iPlayer. Journey looked great. It was throwing it down and looked a miserable cold day. It's true what they say that there are two seasons in Scotland. June and winter.;) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted May 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I can attest to the rains on the day the Journey arrived Edinburgh last summer…but the city was still lovely. (Photo below) I'd love to see that BBC documentary. Do you know the name of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted May 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Bonnie, it was called "How Scotland Works" and the second episode in the series. It showed Journey docking in Leith and passengers exiting the gangway to go on tours. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
