Are We Still Friends With Our National Neighbours?

By BRIAN McIVER

What do the English Really Think of the Scots?

BBC One, 10.35pm

POST devolution, post SNP government and post many laughs at their national sporting teams, there have been several hints wafting up from across Hadrian’s Wall that our southern cousins may not be as fond of us as they once were.

Jealous of our political influence and power, and the long standing West Lothian Question, there has been a rise in discontent regarding the Scots, and this show looks at just what the opinions are like these days.

Should be fascinating, as it’s always good to see ourselves as others do…
