GypsyScy Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm really looking forward to this Watched a documentary about Simon King himself the other day, all the different films he's worked on and documentaries he's made, he's talented cameraman and a very lucky person to have experienced all he's has! I'm pleased as well that it's been show across all the BBC2 regions and not just Scotland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifi Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qnw1f "To celebrate winter, Simon joins the local Shetlanders in their Viking Up-Helly-Aa Festivals, but there's a surprise for him: he is asked to come in drag, dressed as fellow Springwatch presenter Kate Humble. This, however, doesn't stop him enjoying himself or helping to set light to a Viking boat and have the true Shetland experience." Simon in drag as Kate Humble was when he took part in the Northmavine Up Helly Aa. There's a book of the series coming out in April. You may want to buy it from the Shetland Times shop but if you want to pre-order it via Amazon, you might like to use this referral link - http://bit.ly/di3ntk - It doesn't cost you any more but gives a small amount to the Northmavine Development Company for community projects such as the website. The audio book of the series is out in March and is available by the referral link here - http://bit.ly/97vASy. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachcaster Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 ^ I might be evil, I was was hoping he went upside down in da burn. Think i will set the Sky+ for the other 2 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyScy Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 That was excellent, I was able to tell all my family in Ireland that have never been here or that have been up here but maybe not at the right times to watch it and see why i live here, looking forward to the next two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandshaun Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Any chance someone has a link to watch the show on something either than the bbci player? they don't stream to anywhere outside the UK and unfortunately the rest of Hollywood is not as interested in seeing the show as I am so cant find anywhere on US sites.
