Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
Episode one joins the staff of the first two hospitals to close - the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary - six weeks before the big move. In ward four of the Southern, sister Susan Montgomery prepares her nursing staff for a huge change - the move from open-plan wards to single-room accommodation in the new hospital.
In A&E at the Victoria, senior staff nurse Mel White reflects on leaving the place she's worked in for 43 years to make the move to the huge new emergency department. Moving hundreds of patients across the city will be the largest operation of its kind ever undertaken in Britain. Their arrival in the new building will be the beginning of a new chapter in healthcare in the city.
Episode 2
Episode two follows the closure of the Western Infirmary and Scotland's largest Children's hospital, known locally as Yorkhill. Yorkhill recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary and many of the families it has served have come back to say goodbye. The transfer of patients to the new Royal Hospital for Children involves moving some of the hospital's sickest children, including four-month-old Barbara, who has a hole in her heart. She needs to be carefully monitored by a team of anaesthetists during her three-mile ambulance journey. On the Schiehallion cancer ward, staff prepare to close the doors for good, and look forward to the better facilities in the new hospital. Although the new children's hospital has been built alongside the adult's, its design is unique. The outpatients waiting area is like a giant playground and many children may not even be aware that they're waiting for an appointment. Paediatric A&E consultant Jo Stirling summed up her new home: 'I think it's fantastic, compared to the old one, which we loved - but more like you would love a slightly doddering old relative who is maybe not at their best'.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
