Ceann an Righ The King’s Head Riochdaichte le Caledonia TV Produced by Caledonia TV

8.30f | 8.30pm

Airson a’ chiad uair ann am faisg air 700 bliadhna gheibh Albannaich cothrom coimhead air aghaidh Raibeart Brus, an rìgh gaisgeil a ghlèidh saorsa do dh’Alba aig Blàr Allt a’ Bhonnaich ann an 1314. Tha an t-Oll. Màrtainn MacGriogair à Roinn Eachdraidh Oilthigh Ghlaschu a’ leantail a’ phrìomh eòlaiche air ath-chruthachadh aodainn à cnàmhan claiginn ann am Breatainn an t-Oll Caroline Wilkinson, agus i a’ cleachdadh an teicneòlas as adhartaiche airson samhla de cheann Raibeart Brus a dhèanamh. Anns a’ phrògram seo, chì sinn coltas aodann an rìgh.

For the first time in almost 700 years Scots will be able to look into the face of Robert the Bruce, the warrior King who won Scotland’s independence at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Bruce has been depicted for centuries in paintings, sculptures and films - without anybody actually knowing what he looked like. The quest to reveal his face was launched by Dr Martin MacGregor, a historian at Glasgow University and in this programme he follows the work of Britain’s leading expert on craniofacial reconstruction Professor Caroline Wilkinson as she uses cutting edge digital technology to create a 3-D portrait of Bruce. The portrait of Bruce will be revealed in the programme.

Bha mi Latha Samhraidh When Stornoway was Dancing Riochdaichte le Corran Media Produced by Corran Media

9f | 9pm

Sùil air ais air eachdraidh shòisealta Steòrnabhaigh às dèidh a’ chogaidh. Bho làithean cruaidhe nan dà fhicheadan gu làithean buidhe gnìomhachas na h-ola anns na seachadan ‘s e àm a bh’ ann nuair a thàinig atharrachaidhean mòra, le barrachd beairteis agus cultar ùr a’ nochdadh tro cheòl agus fiolm. Airson grunnan bhliadhnaichean shòlasach fhuair na ‘baby boomers’ an cuibhreann a b’ fheàrr den dà shaoghal.

From the austerity of the 40’s to the oil boom of the 70’s, a warm hearted look back at aspects of the social life of Stornoway in the decades that followed the second world war. It was a time of enormous change, with increasing wealth and a new culture imposing itself through music and film, but for a few halcyon years the baby boomers uniquely enjoyed the best of both worlds.
