I was proudest of the fact that the legendary kids game show Fun House was produced by my local ITV franchise STV at their former studios in Cowcaddens Glasgow-which was about half an hour,s drive from where I live
Wheel Of Fortune and Win Lose Or Draw where Scottish productions too
The Paul Coia word quiz Catchword was a BBC Scotland production-though later co produced by an independent company and made at the former studios at Queen Margret Drive again not far from where I live and not too far from the studios of the rival ITV station
I,m gutted I could not sit in the Catchword audience as I was to young while it was on telly

If you're from Glasgow, chances are you're not too far from where they filmed the Still Game exteriors (Townhead and Maryhill I believe).
Does anyone else remember Pebble Mill at 1?
There was a crime drama filmed in some of the dodgy derelict streets in my town. The houses are all boarded up now and planning to be demolished.
Yes, I recall seeing pictures of Glasgow a couple of years ago 'dressed' as Philadelphia for a Brad Pitt zombie film.
We get Strictly some years, though not this year and every time Coronation St or Emmerdale are filming a scene when someone meets with a watery disaster - car crashes into canals, people plunging into water at the bottom of a disused quarry, they film that at The Nautical College rescue training pool in Fleetwood, just up the road.
My favourite thing they filmed here was a few years ago - The Royal Variety Show, I was at that and it was a great night. I also liked Blackpool with David Tennent and David Morrissey. The follow up Viva Blackpool! wasn't quite as good, though.
not a programme but the film sweet sixteen
On a completely different note, apparently the Geordie Shore people moved "to a new house in a converted warehouse on the outskirts of the city" uncomfortably near me, but I'm pleased to say I've never seen them.
Off topic, but what ever happened to 55 degrees north???
I enjoyed the first series, I wasn't in the country for the second....
