Ah ty suffolkvera if I have that wrong. Didn't realise it might vary depending on where you are but yes the Iplayer will have the programme on it. |

Just in case people are confused, Florence, BBC Scotland isn't available on Freeview in all areas of England. We can't seem to get it here and channel 9 here is BBC4. I do watch a fair bit of BBC Scotland as I like some of the crime programmes but I watch it on iPlayer. I'm now going to see if I can get that programme about the ferries on iPlayer. |

Gwyn, that is the ferry we use to get off island and thankfully hasnt broken down too many times but its away for its annual refit just now so the Isle of Lewis is covering but it has a smaller capacity for lorries etc. |

It's quite possible, Duncan. This is the problem and the cause of most of the trouble - the ferries are all well past their sell-by date! |

I found it on catch-up after seeing this post, as it's my sort of programme. I had no idea BBC Scotland was received down here in Kent. |

It is the Glen Sannox, I don’t know which route she would have been on. |

That's a minor problem, Names!! They are on our news at regular intervals. There are two or three under construction, all are years overdue and because of escalating costs, way over budget. |

Now one of the ones being built will be delayed more as there aren’t enough staircases :-S :-S |

Florence, have you been watching the documentary series about Calmac? (BBC Scotland, Sunday repeated Tuesday). It is very interesting and last night's was about the Stornaway ferry and the problems caused when it needs its annual maintenance. |
