Tartan Tales - BBC TV series

[Troglodyte]

Some of you may have already seen this new series, but it is a gem.

Tartan Tales is a fly-on-the-wall documentary which follows an Ulster-Scot kiltmakers with a show-it-like-you-see-it approach, that takes the viewer along with the family firm of kiltmakers as they take on a new trainee, kit-out clients for their weddings, and support their local pipe-band as they cross the water to take part in the world pipe championships in Scotland.

Be warned - the programmes may contain scenes that some views will find upsetting... Well, those who are sensitive to the kilt and Highland dress being worn in accordance with the would-be 'rules'. Kilt cops should look away..!

Only two episodes are available, but there seems enough material to make a whole series following just one of the characters to be seen. Several months' footage has been condensed down into short screen-time, so guessing at what has been eddited-out leaves you wanting more. Hopefully more will follow.

That sounds really cool. I'm especially going to like the Pipe Band part.

Unfortunately that link gives "not available in your region".

Hopefully the show will make it to BritBox, PBS, or something here in The States.
