OMC! (OMG!) is a homegrown Gaelic sketch show from Scot Squad producers, The Comedy Unit.
With a cast of outrageous characters and fast-paced visual gags, the series is sure to have them rolling in the isles.
From lovelorn posties to tasteless TV chefs, OMC! brings some kooky characters to BBC ALBA, in what is the first foray into Gaelic comedy for over a decade by Scottish comedy hit-machine, The Comedy Unit.
BBC ALBA comedy and children’s TV star, Hannah McKirdy brings Scotland’s Croft of the Year and Cake Wars to viewers in OMC! this March, alongside rising Scottish star Lana Pheutan, and veterans of Gaelic comedy Arthur Donald and Carina MacLeod.
The sketch show features an intimate dining experience, an embarrassing confrontation in the shopping aisle, ferry office fiascos, and an everlasting proposal.
Rab Christie, Managing Director at OMC! producer The Comedy Unit, said: “We were delighted to get the opportunity to work with so many talented individuals on both sides of the camera to create a brand-new sketch series for BBC ALBA.
“Like some of our English language comedies, OMC! features a mix of writers, performers and writer-performers and we were blown away by the quality of material they produced. Throughout the process, the priority was for Gaelic-speakers to take the lead on what content featured and who or what the show should target and send-up. It was brilliant to see the cast and crew flourish on OMC!”
On the significance of new, modern Gaelic comedy content, Bill Macleod, Commissioning Editor for BBC ALBA said: “Gaels have got a lively sense of the ridiculous and are never happier than when they’re poking fun at each other – as I know to my cost having often been on the receiving end of it in writers’ meetings! This show has it all – from satire, to the surreal, to the downright silly.”
OMC! airs weekly from Wednesday 9 March at 10pm for 4 weeks on BBC ALBA, and each episode will be available to watch on the BBC iPlayer for 30 days afterwards.
The winners of this year’s prestigious Gaelic short film competition FilmG 2022 have been announced tonight (Friday, February 25) in a special awards ceremony on BBC ALBA.
Many of the winners across the 17 prize categories were brought into the FilmG studio by video link to accept their award and chat with programme hosts and competition stalwarts Fiona MacKenzie and Niall Iain MacDonald.
The specially created awards programme will be shown on BBC ALBA at 9pm tonight (Friday, February 25) and is available to watch on the BBC iPlayer for 30 days afterwards.
Films followed this year’s competition theme Lorg, which means search, find or trace, and with over 90 filmmakers attempting to find the winning formula, the judges had a tough job whittling down the entries over multiple days.
Parker Dawes (14), a pupil at Ardnamurchan High School in West Lochaber, scooped three awards – Best Young Filmmaker, Best Film Fluent Speakers and Best Production, for his slapstick spy thriller Spies-R-Us.
Parker said: “We chose the spy topic because it was opposite to the film we made last year which didn’t win any prizes.
“We were interested to see if an action film could get different results – and it worked! I created a storyboard and we had crash mats so everything was well planned.
“I’ve always loved filmmaking and I’ve always looked up to FilmG . I’m really happy to get these awards because my friends and I were so sad when we didn’t win last year. It was great to be on that podium as a winner.”
An animation by Alina Brust from Edinburgh won ‘Best Film’ in the Open Category, the first time an animation has won this prize in FilmG.
‘An Taigh Solais’ follows a shepherd who is trying to find a lost sheep and has to shelter with her flock in an abandoned lighthouse to escape a storm. Due to the pandemic Alina had no access to university facilities so she made the entire film in her bedroom.
Alina (23) said: “I’m inspired by the Scottish landscape and coastline, especially the lighthouse and the cliffs around St. Abbs, one of my favourite places. And a lighthouse is a perfect setting for a weird and spooky story.
“Making this film was a great opportunity to combine my two passions of art and languages.
“I’m so grateful that all my hard work has paid off – as a Gaelic learner it feels like such a special achievement for me.”
Scooping the prize for Best Production (Under 12), Coignear air Chall (5 Lost Souls) by Sandbank Primary School in Dunoon follows five school friends as they take a spooky journey to one of the town’s historic landmarks.
A film about hillwalking and scrambling as a way to get a new perspective on the world from beyond the cold, dark glens and high above the clouds, ‘Thar Nan Sgòth – Beinn Eighe’ (Above the Clouds – Beinn Eighe) by Anndra Cuimeanach from Gairloch secured the prize for Best Documentary (12-17).
In the Open category a short documentary called ‘A’ Mhuir’ (The Sea) about wild swimming by the students at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in the Isle of Skye who take part in the sport, has picked up two separate awards, Film Duthchais and Best Director (Anna Garvin).
Emily Murray (21), from Lewis, accepted the FilmG award on behalf of the class.
She said: “Taking part in FilmG was a good opportunity to practice the skills we had learned in class, such as camera, sound and editing.”
Anna Garvin (23) from Oban, who is studying Gaelic in Media at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Skye, said: “I feel very honoured to have won this. It was my first time directing and I learnt so much about the skills needed to direct from working on this film.
“Entering FilmG was a great opportunity to use all the technical and production skills we had learnt so far to create a film that would be shown to a public audience.”
‘Am Buaile Dubh’ which takes a look around Am Buaile Dubh on the outskirts of Inverness, has secured the Best Performance award for the film’s producer and narrator, Eòghan Stiùbhart.
Eòghan (40), from Inverness, is a Gaelic teacher with over 5k followers on Instagram for his Scottish Gaelic learning videos. He’s also an advocate for men’s mental health.
He said: “I went to Am Buaile Dubh a lot through lockdown, it’s a great place to be outdoors and get exercise. It allows me to be in a little world of my own and helps my mental health.
“For this film I wrote a monologue about what the place means to me and paired this with my own and old images and maps to illuminate the place.
“Winning this award was a surprise and honour, it was really cool to win the big metal G.”
And ‘Eilean Lois’ (Lois’s Island) by Somhairle MacIain from Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, which follows him and his girlfriend, Lois, as they cycled the Hebridean Way in the summer and he teaches her to speak Gaelic on the trip won them the award for Best Student Film.
Former Bishopbriggs Academy pupil, Sorley (19), who is studying Gaelic Media at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye, said: “I entered FilmG because I wanted to showcase a film that I had made myself while I was still on my course and had access to all the editing equipment and software.
“I’m planning on putting the prize money towards a camera of my own so I can continue to make films after my course finishes.”
Debbie Mackay, Project Manager at CGS who deliver the project said: “It was another great year for entries, and we were especially impressed by the high level of storytelling and filmmaking skills amongst our youth categories. As the competition continues to grow, we see filmmakers push themselves to a higher standard year after year. It’s a privilege to be a part of the project.
Iseabail Mactaggart, Director of Multi-platform Content at MG ALBA said: “FilmG has always been so important to Gaelic media as a whole and also to the individual filmmakers and groups who take part year after year.
“Seeing the talent coming through the ranks and refining their craft in order to pick up one of the coveted prizes is gratifying for all involved in Gaelic media and testament to our ambition to continue to nurture an unrivalled Gaelic-speaking talent base both in front of, and behind the camera for years to come.”
All films from this year’s competition are available to watch on the FilmG website: www.filmg.co.uk
BBC ALBA productions have been recognised at the Royal Television Society Scotland’s annual awards ceremony this week, after securing nominations across the festival categories.
Eòrpa, BBC ALBA’s flagship European current affairs programme secured an award in the News and Current Affairs for its enlightening instalment examining the Highlands’ involvement in the slave trade.
Produced by BBC Scotland Productions, the programme brought historical testimonies to light, and helped to unveil some of the realities around Scotland’s involvement in the Atlantic slave trade.
Eòrpa presenter, journalist & historian, Ruairidh MacIver, said: “This programme was a team effort and I’m very thankful to RTS Scotland for recognising our work in this way. I’d like to thank the historians, such as David Alston and Iain Mackinnon, who were so generous with their time and research. Particular thanks to Graham Campbell, Karrie Prescott, Jack Shehata and Philomena de Lima, who helped us understand the impact the legacy slavery still has today.”
Also recognised by the Royal Television Society was purpleTV’s sports documentary Na Boireannaich a Thog Glasgow City/The Women Who Built Glasgow City, looking at the story behind the founding and early success of Glasgow City FC.
Margot McCuaig, Director at purpleTV said “I am utterly thrilled that The Women Who Built Glasgow City has secured this award. Whilst it’s personally rewarding, it is also an important message affirming that women’s stories matter.
Women’s voices have been marginalised for too long and this documentary, telling the remarkable story of Laura Montgomery and Cas Stewart, is evidence of the central role women in sport have played, and continue to play, in Scottish culture and society. It is an absolute privilege to have amplified their voices for BBC ALBA audiences.”
BBC ALBA Head of Service, Margaret Mary Murray, said: “It’s testament to the consistent high quality of programming created by BBC ALBA’s producers that six entries from six companies were nominated for RTS Scotland Awards this year.
“We are immensely proud of them all but are delighted for the Eòrpa and PurpleTV teams who won the news & current affairs and sport categories with compelling and inspirational programmes. Our congratulations also go to all of the RTS Scotland 2021 nominees and winners.”

BBC ALBA’s popular drama Bannan reaches a powerful and moving climax during the festive season after over 40 episodes.
This Christmas sees the launch of the final series of Bannan – the eighth.
At its very heart are truth, love and family – and the big question: How strong are the ties that bind?
Since its heady launch at the Edinburgh Film Festival seven years ago in 2014, Bannan has entertained audiences in Scotland and around the world with its unique blend of Gaelic storytelling and film-making.
Produced and filmed in the Isle of Skye by Young Films and its team of Gaelic writers, directors, producers and performers, Bannan has broken the mould of television drama in its innovative use of the language and landscape of the Gaidhealtachd.
Each year has seen the emergence of exciting new talent both behind and in front of the camera, and successive series have tackled a range of contemporary issues in Scottish life through the prism of island life and Gaelic.
Lead director and writer Mairead Hamilton started as a runner on the pilot, writers Laura MacLennan and Tormod MacLeod began as production trainees, and assistant director Sarah Jane Campbell stepped up to become producer.
What exactly happened between Ceitidh and Lucas? That’s what everyone in Camus wants to know after Ceitidh’s devastating accusations at Màiri and Lucas’ wedding – and everyone has their own opinion. We know that Lucas is guilty of grooming 15-year-old Ceitidh online, but will anyone believe her? Will Lucas be unmasked or will he get away with his crimes against this vulnerable girl?
Màiri is desperate to know the truth, but the more she hears the less she knows what to believe. Meanwhile Ceitidh begins to question herself – an act that may destroy her and only helps Lucas – a manipulative and calculating man desperate to get Màiri and the community on his side.
Danger, uncertainty and heartbreak is everywhere in this new series: we watch Donna and Finlay draw deeply on their love for each other in the face of Donna’s illness, and Tormod discovers Iseabail’s dark secret with devastating consequences.
Executive Producer Chris Young, best known for producing the hit TV show and film The Inbetweeners, said: “I dreamed of creating a Gaelic TV drama in which there was nothing remarkable about the experience other than the drama itself. And I feel that with the cast and crew, producer Sarah Jane and directors, and writers have pulled it off. It’s a huge achievement. I was thinking back to our beginning and I’m struck by how far we have travelled.
“The journey warrants a celebration because it’s an astonishing legacy of new Gaelic and Scottish talent.
“When BBC ALBA commissioned the first three pilot episodes with support from Creative Scotland no-one imagined that the show would run for a further 40 episodes, and we’d like to thank and to pay tribute to their vision and confidence in Young Films.
“Looking ahead with a Channel 4 comedy pilot in production in January, and a new feature film funded by BBC Film, BFI and Screen Scotland in post-production due for summer release, and the Young Films Foundation Skye Screenwriting Programme in its third year, I’m confident that Skye will continue to offer the perfect TV and Film hub for new productions, whether in English or in Gaelic.”
Margaret Mary Murray, BBC ALBA’s Head of Service said: “Bannan has been a huge hit with the audience who have followed the fortunes of the residents of Camus avidly over the past 8 series’. In addition to providing thrilling entertainment, Bannan has also inspired a new generation of actors, writers, directors and technical creative crew along the way. The team at Young Films have delivered successively impressive series culminating in a gripping and moving finale.”
Bannan Series 8 airs on BBC ALBA on Monday, December 27, Tuesday, December 28 and Thursday, December 30. And consecutively on New Year’s Day, all at 10pm.

We are aware of how challenging things have been for musicians since the beginning of the pandemic, and so ensuring their achievements are recognised, celebrated and brought to audiences at home is really important as BBC ALBA continues to platform and support the best of Scottish traditional music.”
