  I'm surprised that this hasn't been taken up by the national network. But, on reflection, probably not that surprised.

  Interesting piece on the deployment of the Maxims where they would be positioned to the flanks rather than head-on to the advancing soldiers.

  I suspect that it will probably on network at some point but I can never understand the relationship between BBC Scotland (and BBC Wales) and network. Both produce some excellent programmes that never get seen on network though this year for the first time (I think) BBC2 showed one of BBC Wales' Coming Home series - their equivalent of Who Do You Think You Are. You would think that many of their programmes could be used on BBC Four or as daytime fillers on BBC1 and BBC2. I wonder sometimes that with the BBC's accounting system, do the regions want to charge network too much for repeats on network?
  
  By the way there is a four part series on Clydebuilt ships starting next week in the same time slot.
